Introduction

Ok guys, this is my first fic so please make any flames as gentle as possible.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original Harry Potter characters, blah, blah- so please don't sue me!!

However, I do own Diamond, Daine, Desiree, Delta, Delphi, and Delia. I'll explain a little bit about them, before you get into the story.

They are 6 sisters, who aren't really human. They're kind of demi-gods. I call them the 6 Fates, sort of like Muses. They are all beautiful in their own ways, all very powerful, they all look human (most of the time), and they are all about 3000 years old. Not all of them are wise-only Diamond, the eldest. I'll say more about them in detail, going from eldest to youngest.

Diamond is Destiny, which makes her very wise and generally serious. She does have a sort of wry humour, though. She doesn't usually get tangled up in the affairs of humans- that's Desiree and Delia's job. Diamond stays out of it, and quietly observes. She lives in a spherical room made out of crystal, which she calls (very originally) her Crystal Room. The crystal clarifies her vision, and she sees past, present, and future in it. The Crystal Room revolves around Cloud 9, which is the sisters' home base.

What does Diamond look like? Very pale. She has long, impossibly straight, white-blond hair. It goes down to her knees. Her skin is pearly, almost translucent, and her eyes are silver. She has the facial bone structure of a Siamese cat. High cheekbones, pointed chin- even pointed ears! Actually, she looks like one of the elves out of LoTR.

She is VERY tall (about 9") and slim. She has almost no curves. You couldn't possibly guess at her age.

Next is Daine, the Fate of Death. Being that makes her both quite scary and grim. Her job is to guide dead people's souls to wherever they go. Because of that, she is one of the most human of the Fates. She is also serious, with a ready and biting wit. One of Daine's names is The Huntress. She has a special bond with all predators, except for humans. She can turn herself into any predator at will, particularly birds of prey and wolves. She roams the world with her pack of hounds and a bow in her hand. Daine tries not to get involved with anything human (except for the dead), but usually ends up hauling Delia out of trouble.

Daine is also tall, and very muscular, strong, fast, agile, and lithe. She is grim-looking. Her hair is black (going silver), coarse, and cropped short. Her eyes are amber or gold, depending on her mood. Daine looks about 40 (of course, she's much older than that).

Third eldest is Desiree- Desire. She is a trickster. Her mischievousness borders on evil- but she never goes that far, thank goodness. Because she is Desire, nobody can resist her- only those who are Destined for a particular person. She can have any lover-male or female- and does. She delights in changing her appearance to suit her lover, and even more in meddling. Thus, Diamond doesn't like her that much. In fact, none of her sisters do. Except for Delia, who loves everyone.

It's kind of hard to describe Desiree's appearance, as she is forever changing. However, she does have a true form. That is of a 27-year-old ravishing beauty, with gorgeous auburn hair, and sparkling green eyes. Her skin is flawless, and her figure is lush. The very air around her reeks of seductiveness.

Delta is sister number 4, and represents Dream. Indeed, she is very dreamy. She lives on Cloud 7, which is just above Cloud 9. She spends almost all her time sleeping, and uses her powerful mind to send dreams to mortals. She's a lovely and sweet person, but it's very hard to hold a lengthy conversation with her- she's always falling asleep!

However, when Delta does wake up (only when she is needed), her powers are phenomenal.

Delta looks like a pretty, slightly chubby, mid-teen. Her hair is a mousy golden-brown, and quite curly. Her eyes are soft brown, and doe-shaped. She's short, and delicately boned.

Guess who's Doom and Despair? Yup, Delphi. In some ways, Delphi and Daine are very alike, in others they are not. First of all, they look the most similar of the sisters. They both have short dark hair, though Delphi's is solid raven, not broken by threads of silver. The two sisters also have the same bone structure, except Delphi is very gaunt and hollow looking, and does not look strong. Rather, she looks like she'd snap in half if you pushed her over. Appearances can be deceiving. Delphi is actually very tough, like a metal needle. Anyways, Delphi's eyes are dark and haunted, not tawny. She is very pale.

Then again, they have almost opposite roles. While Daine leads the dead, Delphi mourns for them. Her favourite *haunts* include deserted battlefields, drafty old castles, and other sad places. Delphi has no sense of humour at all, and is solemn, sombre, and morbid. The only time she stops her mourning is for something important, or to go to a family meeting.

Last but not least is Delia- Delirium and Delight. As you may have gathered already, the youngest child can be quite troublesome. She doesn't mean to be- she's just so hyperactive that trouble comes to her. She's a bouncy girl with inhuman amounts of energy, who loves absolutely everybody. It's not in her nature to hate or even dislike somebody. Because she loves everyone so much, she wants to see them happy. Wherever people are unhappy, she goes around trying to fix them up. Unfortunately, there are so many sad people in this world, and Delia usually makes a mess of things. Thus, she causes a few problems. Well, not a few- lots.

Delia even looks slightly delirious. She is always laughing maniacally, popping gum, or bouncing around. She has one blue eye, one green, which roll about as if they have lives of their own. Her hair is continually changing its length, colour, and appearance, even as you watch. She is short and skinny, with pale skin, and fine, pointed features. Her smile is wide and her teeth are also pointed.
