Chapter 2: The Ice Queens of Hogwarts
To some the first week of school had passed by fast, but to other it hadn't. Lily Evans and Alexis Evans had become known as the Ice Queens because of their cold behavior towards some people. The Ice Queens were also known as the best looking girls in the school. Lily with her auburn locks and sparkling green eyes, and Alex with her long black with crimson tipped locks and ice-blue eyes. The popular girls weren't too happy about this though and tried to bring the two down from their popularity within the guys, but nothing seemed to work. The only guy that the two girls got along with without becoming angry was Remus Lupin. The other guys in school weren't too happy about this even though they all knew that right now no one ever had a chance with either of the girls right now.
The two girls mentioned above, Lily and Alexis Evans, walked down to the Gryffindor common room from the dorm room that they shared with two ditzes. Today they were both out of uniform instead of just Alex out of uniform like usual. Lily had on a long silky black skirt that had intricate designs on it and a deep green spaghetti strap. She also had on her cloak but instead of the usual plain black it was like Alex's except for instead of red it was green on the inside. Alex was dressed in a similar outfit except she had on an ice-blue spaghetti strap and her cloak. Instead of the red interior like usual the interior matched her shirt. The two didn't notice that all the guys in the common room had stopped and looked up at them as they walked down the stairs and out of the common room to the Great Hall.
~ Inside the Great Hall ~
"Students. Students!" Professor Dumbledore repeated after not silencing the students the first time, but the second time it was effective. "I know that we are already one week into the school year we have a new student. She is transferring in from Salem Academy for Witches and she'll be in her 4th year. Professor McGonagol if you will bring out the Sorting Hat so that she can be sorted. Oh and her name is Jewels Hall. She will be joining in the classes today," Dumbledore said and the main entrance of the Great Hall opened. The girl that was standing there walked silently to the stool in the front of the hall. Jewels had dirty blonde hair that was an inch or two longer than shoulder-length and light hazel eyes. Like Alex and Lily she wasn't wearing a uniform. Instead, she was wearing a pair of black baggy pants, which had a few chains hanging from them. She was also wearing a forest green tank top with her cloak on. Her cloak was black on the outside with a deep green on the inside. She had on few bracelets, a single silver chain necklace, and a pair of hoop earrings in her ears.
Jewels confidently sat on the stool and placed the Sorting Hat, which Professor McGonagol handed her, on top her head to be sorted. To everyone's surprise but Alex's, Jewels' sorting took just as long as hers did. Here's the conversation that was going on between the Sorting Hat and Jewels. And lets just say that right now if thoughts could kill, the Sorting Hat would have been burned five times and then the ashes placed in acid.
~Dear, dear, dear. Once again I must said that you are best suited for Ravenclaw.
I don't care what I am best suited for I know which house I want to be in you stupid hat.
~Hey now. No need to call me names. . . The question is why do you want to be in Gryffindor? You are best suited for Ravenclaw. You are probably the only student who is surely fitted to be put into Ravenclaw.
I don't care. And have you looked into my past you stupid hat? I've shown more bravery than I have knowledge now hurry up and sort me. I'm getting sick of having everyone staring at me.
~Alright then. . . you are right when you say that you've shown more bravery than knowledge. . . but. . . ok if you insist. . . I'll put you in, "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted out to the Great Hall. The Gryffindors, excluding Alex, burst into applause as the girl snatched the Sorting Hat off her head and literally threw it back at Professor McGonagol who barely caught it. Why couldn't it have just realized things a little sooner? Now everyone's staring at me. . . except for that one girl at the Slytherin's but that ones a given. . . oh well, Jewels thought to herself as she pulled herself into the only free seat which was next to Alex.
"Jewels Hall, pleased to meet you," Jewels said ignoring everyone staring and not really noticing that the two girls she was sitting with were the only other two not wearing uniforms out of the whole school. "What's the first thing on schedule?" she asked before turning towards the other students. "What may I ask are you staring at?!" she asked loudly causing them all to turn around and look down at their plates.
"Lily Evans here. That's Alexis Evans. . . if you want to keep your limbs call her Alex. Oh and she doesn't like talking much. . . quiet gothic type but good job with the staring people. By the way like your outfit," Lily said as she put some food on her plate. Alex did the same as she looked the new girl over and nodded her head with approval at her outfit.
"I agree with Lil, nice outfit. And yes, if you value your limbs call me Alex," Alex said quietly. However, Snape and Malfoy were walking by and heard her. They shared a sneer and stayed behind then. Alex sensed them and her eyes narrowed visibly. "If you are just there to piss me off, then you go back to where you came from. Or does Lucy need a reminder of what pain can be dealt in one swift movement?"
"Why thank you Alex," Jewels said turning to see who she suddenly started talking to in a cold, harsh voice that she hadn't talked to her in. Behind her were Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. "Oh joy. . . slime balls. . . "
"Yes Lucy. . . do you need a reminder?" Lily sneered at him remembering that he was in the Hospital Wing for a day after the episode everyone heard about in the hall. Snape and Malfoy were now seething with anger. Malfoy was just about to grab hold of Lily's arm but Alex and Jewels caught it at the same time.
"I don't know who you are. . . but you can climb back to the slimy nest that you crawled out of anytime," Jewels said coldly, her hazel eyes glaring at him. Malfoy glared at Alex and then at Jewels before feeling his blood run cold when both girls glared daggers at him and tightened their grips on his arm. Many people had turned to see what was going on and more than half smiled to see someone gripping Malfoy's arm. . . tightly.
"No Evans. I was just merely surprised that someone like you could possibly dish out. . . anyone," he said with disgust as he looked at Jewels, "a compliment when they are just as much of a freak as you are." Snape had said this and before Jewels could react Alex had stood, let go of Malfoy's arm, and had Snape pinned to the wall. "What? Want to have your way with me?" he asked with a hidden smirk.
"Snivelly, that would only. . . EVER, happen in your dreams. Which I prefer to be left out of. As I was about to say before you opened your overly large mouth and started talking about things you don't even know. Stay out of my way. Stay out of my friends' way. And get this, don't mess with them. Or you might as well be dead. I will make your life a living nightmare. So, stay. Out. Of. My. Way." She said as she pushed him against the wall making his head bang into the wall painfully.
"What's going on here?!" a loud male's voice boomed from outside the barrage of students who had run over to watch what was happening. The man pushed his way through the crowd to see his own student, Snape, being held to the wall by a girl. By a half-blood no less, he thought to himself. "Break it up!" he shouted at the students who dispersed quickly. The only students left in that area were Lucius Malfoy, who's fingers were purple because of Jewel's tight grip on them, Jewels, Lily, Alex, who still had Snape pinned to the wall, and Snape. "Miss Evans. Detention for fighting a student and 20 points taken from Gryffindor for the same reason. Miss Hall, I will also take 10 points off for cutting off the circulation to Mr. Malfoy's arm. Now then, get to class and I will talk to you about your detention later," he said as he walked away pushing Alex away from Snape. Alex was seething with anger and anyone who looked at her could tell that she was angry and didn't dare cross her path in a negative way as she walked down to the dungeons with Lily and Jewels in tow behind her.
"Ignore Scott, Alex. You know that he's just ticked at the fact that a girl one year younger can beat the crap out of his own student," Lily said following Alex with Jewels. Alex just nodded knowing that it was the truth but she was too angry to say anything and Lily knew this even though they had only met a week ago. The three girls walked into the Potions room together and all three had narrowed eyes. They sat together at the table next to the Marauders' table. Professor Scott, the Head of Slytherin House and Potions professor, walked in with a smirk across his face.
"Sit down students. Today you will be making a weak truth potion. Near the end of this class you will all take the potion," Scott said smirking. "I will ask you one question after you have drunk the potion and you will answer in a voice that doesn't seem like your own. Now, get to work. You will find the ingredients and instructions on page 113 of your book." With that last statement he sat down at his desk.
"I'll go get the supplies," Jewels said as she stood from the three's table and walked over to the desk where the supplies were. As she was walking Snape purposely bumped into her with a smirk across his face and then walked away with his supplies. Jewels gave him a death glare as she grabbed all the supplies they three would need and then walked back over to their table. "Sorry I took so long. Snivelly bumped into me." As she said this she put the stuff down on the table. Alex just nodded and automatically started a fire under the cauldron and began adding the things like it said in the instructions.
"What things do you think he's going to ask you Alex?" Lily asked as Alex was stirring the stuff in the cauldron. Alex had just finished adding the ingredients and now how to let it set for 30 minutes and it would be done. She also sighed when she heard Lily's question being directed to her.
"I don't know but I also don't care. Knowing him something terrible like: What was the worst thing I've ever done? And the answer to that would scare even him," she said with a smirk as she stirred the potion once more. "And he'll probably ask old Snivelly and Lucy who they like. . . just to embarrass them or ask them who's the best-looking girl. . . " she said nonchalantly. "Now we just let it sit," she said.
* With the Marauders *
"Prongsie. . . staring at her isn't going to help your cause any. It'll just make her angrier. And did you know that the Queen of the Ice Queens did it again? She slammed Snivelus into the wall at the Great Hall," Sirius said grinning. "That girl has guts. . . I wonder what Scott will ask her and us. . . " Sirius said losing his grin.
"Does it really matter? And I know that staring isn't going to help me any but she keeps refusing me and it's driving me mad," James said. "I can't take this anymore. . . " James said sighing as he finished putting in the ingredients of the potion and letting it sit.
"Well what are you going to do mate?" Sirius asked knowing exactly what James was talking about. James was talking about the fact that he continuously asked Lily Evans out but every time she would insult him, turn him down, or even ignore him. Sirius knew that it drove him nuts but didn't want to push the matter any further seeing as Lily and Alex were the two hardest girls to even get into a conversation with.
"Did you realize that the new girl gets along well with those two?" sensible Remus asked as he noticed how the three girls were immersed into conversation. The other three Marauders nodded their heads also thinking that this was rather odd. No one was used to the Ice Queens to actually be in a conversation with anyone else besides themselves, even if they had to talk because of an assignment.
"Now class. Your potions should be done by now. Good, good. . . you all are done," Professor Scott said to himself hiding a grin as he looked at the Marauders and Ice Queens. "Miss Alexis. You take a vial of yours and drink it. Then I will ask you a question and you will answer truthfully." Alex hid the evil smirk that was crossing her face and poured out a small vial. She sat in her chair and then drank the liquid in the vial in one single gulp. Her body went rigid as the potion took effect. "It's working. Now then. . . Miss Evans, what is the worst thing that you've ever done at Durmstrang?"
"Cursing ten people into the hospital wing for two weeks. . . one of which being the Headmaster," she said in a monotone voice, which made it clear that the potion had made her say it and it wasn't her choice. Everyone looked at her shock except for Lily and Jewels, who really didn't care what she said or what she was asked. Right after answering the question she smirked, the potion had worn off. "Did you like the answer to your question, Professor Scott?" she asked, her words dripping with sarcasm.
". . . " he was about to say something but couldn't spit out what he was trying to say and then recovered. "Ten points from Gryffindor for your smart-alec comments Miss Evans," he said with a sadistic smirk. "Moving along. Potter, drink yours." He commanded of James. James did the same thing as Alex and drank his potion. "Who do you like?" Scott asked with an evil grin upon his face.
"Lily. . . " James said in a monotone voice just like Alex's but lower because of course, he's a guy! He too came back to reality once he answered the question and quickly looked away from everyone's eyes.
"Now, now. No need to be shy about it. Black, you drink it too," Scott said as he looked at Sirius. Sirius glared visibly, took the potion, and swallowed it in one gulp. "Do you love your family?" Scott asked knowing the problems within his family, the ones between him, his mum, and his younger brother Regulus.
"No I do not," Sirius said in a monotone voice just like Alex and James. As the potion wore off he remembered the question that was asked of him and he glared murderously at Professor Scott and then at his cousin, Bellatrix Black, who was smiling evilly at him after he answered the question. The look in her eyes were one that said 'I'm telling my aunt.'
"Ok. . . Mr. Snape, your turn your turn to drink the potion. Drink your potion and I will ask you one question," Professor Scott said to him as he walked over to his table. Snape drank his potion without second thought and Scott asked him the same question that he had asked James. "Who do you like?"
"Lily Evans," he answered but it was so low that only a few people heard this. though, Lily was one of the ones who had heard it. Her eyes were filled with bewilderment and hatred towards him and the Marauders who burst out laughing because they too had heard him. James looked a bit disoriented but continued laughing. Snape regained his senses soon enough and glared at all the Gryffindors who were laughing and at the Slytherins who were talking about how one of them could like a 'mudblood' like her.
"That will be enough class. Mr. Malfoy. I do believe that it's your turn to drink the potion," Scott said after the class finally stopped laughing at Snape. Malfoy, like Snape, drank the potion in a single gulp. "Mr. Malfoy, who do you like?"
"Jewels Hall," Malfoy said and then added, "And Narcissa Black." At this the Marauders all gagged. Alex gagged herself when he said Jewels' name. Jewels was looking like a deer caught in a cars headlights mouthing words like 'why me?!' Lily glanced at her and mouthed back 'at least you aren't liked by a slime ball!' Alex looked at the two and read their lips and shook her head suppressing the strong urge to laugh at her two friends.
Professor Scott continued to go through and ask every student a question while they were under the weak truth potion. When the bell rang the Ice Queens were the first ones out of the room, though Snape and Malfoy were right behind them. And right behind those two were the Marauders who were always cautious around Snape and Malfoy.
~ With the Ice Queens ~
"Good god that was sickening!" Jewels exclaimed once they got out of the potions lesson. She had a sickened expression still on her face from when Malfoy said that he liked her. For God's sake. . . he barely even knew her!
"I think that you have it better than me," Lily replied darkly. "At least the one who likes you knows how to WASH their HAIR!" she exclaimed as she shuddered at the thought of Snape liking her. Sure she didn't like him, but who did. She didn't necessarily hate him, but only when he was doing something she despised. . . such as calling muggle-borns like herself a mudblood. When Lily said this Jewels stifled a small laugh and Alex gave her a small smile.
"Looks like you're one of us now. Lily, initiation ceremony? Tonight?" Alex said smirking towards Lily. Lily caught the smirk and smiled. Jewels looked at the two of them confused.
"Yup. . . but only if she wants to be one of us," Lily said as she held out her right hand. Alex put her hand over Lily's and looked towards Jewels.
"You in? Want to join me and Lily?" Alex asked. "If so, put your hand in with ours, and we will perform the initiation ceremony with you tonight," she said. Jewels looked at her and nodded. She then put her hand on top of Lily and Alex's hands and smiled.
"I'm in. . . and is it ok if they see us doing this?" Jewels asked as she spotted the Marauders and Malfoy and Snape watching the three of them. "I'll never be the same anymore. . . that one moment scarred me for life," she said jokingly and Alex and Lily appreciated it because they let out small laughs.
"Yeah, you'd definitely make a good addition to our group," Alex said. "And I would be scarred for life to if I knew the a blond who happens to LOOK like a girl said he liked me," she said loud enough for the others to hear. The Marauders laughed as the other two glared at the three. "Don't worry. He seemed to like the idea of hitting on me before he knew that I could hex him into next year. . . or even beat the living daylights out of him. Considering on the first day I just happened to dislocate his arm," she said loudly still knowing that he could hear her, and she was correct. He paled when she said this and sent her a death glare before walking away. "Ah yes. . . that must be why they call me the Queen of the Ice Queens, am I right Lily?" Alex said with a raised eyebrow.
"Ah yes you are correct my dear. You are the Queen of the Ice Queens and I am the Princess of the Ice Queens," Lily said smiling as she flattened down her shirt and pulled her long auburn locks into a ponytail. Alex did the same as the three girls walked into the Great Hall attracting all the attention because out of everyone in the school they were the only ones to not wear the uniform.
"Seeing anything interesting?" Alex asked them all with a dark look. Half the students shook their heads while others just stared. What she had said during the Potions lesson had obviously gotten around to everyone. "Well it would be wise if you stopped staring. unless of course you would like to lose the ability." Alex said this with a really dark look towards the crowd and they all turned away with frightened looks on their faces. "Much better. Shall we girls?" Alex asked as she led them to the place she and Lily always ate.
"This is where we sit Jewels. We sit here everyday," Lily explained as Alex just sat and started eating. "Yea. Meet us in the common room. Ten o'clock. Be on time or don't come," Lily said as she to helped herself to some food. When she said this, she didn't notice that four boys had overheard their whole conversation, but Alex knew this. She had this weird knack for knowing when people were listening in on her conversation or watching her.
The four boys that had heard the conversation just happened to be the Marauders. The four, excluding Peter, exchanged odd glanced and then walked away. Once they were far enough away not to be heard they erupted.
"Ten tonight?!" Peter asked. "B-b-but. . . that's. . . a-a-after h- h-ours. . . " he managed to stutter before anyone else said anything.
"What are they crazy?" Sirius asked loudly. "How are they going to get out without Filch catching them?" he explained further when he was met by a few wary glances.
"Do you really think that those two have an initiation process into the Ice Queens?" James asked with a bewildered look on his face. After about a minute no one had said a thing a light bulb switched on in his head. "We'll follow them with the invisibility cloak tonight." James said smiling.
"Fantastic idea Prongsie," Sirius said grinning from ear to ear, only to be hit on the back of the head by James.
"How many times do I have to tell you?! Do NOT call me Prongsie!" James said as he put a lot of emphasis on the word 'not' by hitting Sirius upside the head. Sirius growled at him as he rubbed the back of his head. "Now then. lets get up to the dorm and plan."
"I don't think it wise to just up and follow them. . . you have no idea what they could possibly do," Remus said. He sighed and nodded his approval when James and Sirius glared at him for possibly ruining one of their best ideas yet. "Just don't let the Evans twins catch us. . . " he said with a look of horror on his face at the thought of being caught. Everyone referred to the two as twins because they were both born in the same month, acted the same, and had the same last name. You just have to make sure that you don't let them hear you saying it.
The four boys all had mischievous grins on their faces as they walked up the stair and into the common room, and from there to their dorm. Anyone who saw them would have thought that they were up to planning a prank but they didn't realize how wrong they really were.
~ Ten At Night ~
Alex and Lily were in the common room waiting for Jewels to come down from their dorm room. Alex had something in her bag along with the necessary stuff. Right when the clock struck ten, Jewels was down the stairs and with them.
"Punctual I see," Lily said softly so as not to catch anyone's attention, though there were only few people out. Alex nodded at the door ignoring the feeling that they were being watched. Lily and Jewels nodded then followed her quietly out of the common room. The four boys followed them out while still under the invisibility cloak and watched as the three girls suddenly disappeared with a whisk of a cloak.
"They've got an invisibility cloak," James whispered to his fellow Marauders even though they already knew that. He then whipped out the Marauder's Map and muttered, 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.' Lines and dots appeared on the Map and showed where the three girls were. The four followed closely keeping the map out since the girls were invisible.
"Almost there Lily," Alex whispered to her as they neared the witch's hump. "A-ha, there it is," she muttered victoriously as they walked to it. "Dissendium." With that command and the tap of Alex's wand, the witch's hump opened and allowed them to enter. The four boys looked at each other and quietly slipped in before the girls could notice and before they closed it.
"Lex. . . do you have the feeling that we're being watched?" Lily asked suddenly as they were walking down the passageway. The three had taken off the invisibility cloak so now the Marauders could see them well and all the boys held their breath.
"Yeah, I do. But we just continue on, I feel sorry for anyone who'll walk in on our initiation process," Alex said as they got to the end of the passage and walked up into Honeydukes quietly. The four boys quietly followed them out of the store and a little ways from Hogsmeade. The boys were surprised at where they found themselves.
The girls had led them right into the middle of a ring of trees. With a close look you could tell that the Cherry Blossom trees were planted in an exact circle. Some of the Cherry Blossoms were blowing in the wind. The clearing was covered with newly grown grass, and it wasn't extremely large but not extremely small either. If they had been there for some other reason they would have liked it better but at the time they were to busy spying on the three girls.
James and Sirius watched in interest as Lily and Alex positioned themselves next to Jewels and held hands having Jewels in between the two of them. The two whispered something to Jewels and Jewels nodded.
"Lets do this Lil," Alex said with a small smile as her and Lily's hands began to glow where they met. Lily nodded smiling and the glow grew brighter. The two girls chanted quietly and the glowing ceased, though now there was a small dagger floating in front of Jewels.
"Make a horizontal cut on the palm of each of your hands then pass the dagger," Alex explained as she and Lily dropped each other's hands. Jewels' looked at them apprehensively then made up her mind by taking the dagger and carefully cutting two small cuts, and then she passed to dagger to Lily who did the same thing before passing the dagger to Alex. Alex grabbed the dagger and motioned for the two to sit on the mats behind them. They did as she motioned and she sat on her own then cut her own hands. The dagger flew from her hand and landed directly in the middle of them, blade in the ground.
"Now we put our hands together. . . " Alex addressed and the three girls did so. Alex's left hand was holding Jewels' right and her right holding Lily's left and you can tell the rest by just imagining that much. The light produced by their joined hands was blinding to the boys but the girls weren't affected.
"The initiation is almost over!" Lily shouted to Jewels who looked exhausted for no reason at all, well actually there was a reason. The charm the three were performing drain's portions of your energy randomly without any warning but Lily and Alex could withstand it because of the previous ceremony.
"Bind us now!" Alex shouted out and a huge gust of wind circled around them, blowing the boys around for a minute. When the wind was gone the three girls were now standing heads held high in long flowing dresses, each had their own color. Alex was wearing a deep red that matched the tips of her hair, Lily was wearing a sparkling green that went well with her eyes, and Jewels was wearing an ice blue that went well with her hazel eyes. All three of the girls looked like right royal queens but the boys knew better, even though their mouths had dropped at the sight of them.
"Now then. Blood sisters, forever," Alex said smiling a real smile that went to her eyes. "Shall we get back to the castle. . . or maybe," Alex said with a mischievous smirk as she glanced at where the four marauders were. "Maybe I should just give them a scare. . . " she said. Lily smiled and Jewels looked at her confused.
The four Marauders were looking at them in awe still even throughout the exchange of words that went on so they didn't really hear what Alex had said. What they wanted to know was what kind of magic this was. . . they had never seen anything like it and they didn't even use their wands while performing it. Remus, like always, was the first one to snap out of his daze, only to realize that Alex was no longer standing with Jewels and Lily. In fact, he didn't see her anywhere as he looked around the field. James and Sirius also started looking around for the girl that had disappeared without them noticing it. As the three looked around Peter was on the ground moaning about something, and the three looked up to see Lily and Jewels but the two were gone.
"Prongs! Padfoot! Moony! A LITTLE HELP HERE?!?!" Peter exclaimed from the ground. The three other Marauders turned to look at their fellow troublemaker surprised when they saw a wolf on top of him. "HELP!" he shouted again and the three boys scrambled, not knowing what to do.
"Where did it come from?!" Remus exclaimed. "Its not a werewolf. . . " Remus started but was cut off by a female's voice.
"Yea, but you are," the voice said from a distance. The girl was Lily, and they were in a nearby tree looking down at the scene trying not to burst out laughing. "We've known Remus. You can't hide your secret from everyone, especially intelligent people," Lily added. Remus had gone pale and the other boys had faltered their movements. The wolf that was on Peter padded up to Remus and grabbed part of his robes. Then the wolf pulled him to the tree where Jewels and Lily were.
"There's no need to hide what you are from us," Lily said jumping from the tree landing in front of him.
"So there's no need to even try to deny it," Jewels said jumping down as well, landing directly next to Lily. "Now then. . . we need to be getting back to the dorms. Class tomorrow," Jewels said as she and Lily walked off towards the castle. The Marauders looked at the wolf that had just ran off.
"Now that. . . was weird. . . " James said looking at her friends. "Um. . . where did Evans go though?" he asked suspicious.
"No idea. . . but lets go back to the castle." Remus said still looking somewhat shocked at the Ice Queens finding out his deepest secret, which he tried to hide from everyone. The only ones who had ever found out before were his fellow Marauders and they were even studying to become Animagi to join him during his transformations.
"Come on Moony, we'll confront them tomorrow if you think that it'll help any," James said as they started on their way back to the castle. The boys made it back to the castle without any problems after they put on the invisibility cloak seeing as they forgot to put it on earlier.
~ With the Ice Queens ~
"Heh. . . well at least he knows we know now," Lily said as she and Jewels walked slowly waiting for their leader to come from wherever she was. Suddenly Alex bounded out of a side bush and slung arms around their shoulders. "Speak of the devil," Lily said grinning.
"Hey. You know you love me," Alex said smiling. "Anyways, now then. Jewels you need a nickname. . . mine is Akuma. Lily's is Arasu. . . I know. . . you can be Tsuki," Alex said smiling still.
"Akuma. . . Arasu. . . Tsuki?" Jewels asked with raised eyebrows. Lily quickly filled her in on what the three words meant, telling her that each were Japanese. Akuma meant Devil, Arasu meant to ruin or devastate, and Tsuki meant moon. "I like it Akuma," Jewels said smiling.
"Those will be the names that we call each other in our notes and when we're just screwing around," Lily added. "Well then. . . lets get back to the castle."
The three girls made it to the castle very easily after Lily cast an invisibility charm over all three of them so that they wouldn't have to huddle under the invisibility cloak once again. All three girls were tired when they got to bed and for once, Alex didn't have a fitful sleep.

Chapter 2: The Ice Queens of Hogwarts
To some the first week of school had passed by fast, but to other it hadn't. Lily Evans and Alexis Evans had become known as the Ice Queens because of their cold behavior towards some people. The Ice Queens were also known as the best looking girls in the school. Lily with her auburn locks and sparkling green eyes, and Alex with her long black with crimson tipped locks and ice-blue eyes. The popular girls weren't too happy about this though and tried to bring the two down from their popularity within the guys, but nothing seemed to work. The only guy that the two girls got along with without becoming angry was Remus Lupin. The other guys in school weren't too happy about this even though they all knew that right now no one ever had a chance with either of the girls right now.
The two girls mentioned above, Lily and Alexis Evans, walked down to the Gryffindor common room from the dorm room that they shared with two ditzes. Today they were both out of uniform instead of just Alex out of uniform like usual. Lily had on a long silky black skirt that had intricate designs on it and a deep green spaghetti strap. She also had on her cloak but instead of the usual plain black it was like Alex's except for instead of red it was green on the inside. Alex was dressed in a similar outfit except she had on an ice-blue spaghetti strap and her cloak. Instead of the red interior like usual the interior matched her shirt. The two didn't notice that all the guys in the common room had stopped and looked up at them as they walked down the stairs and out of the common room to the Great Hall.
~ Inside the Great Hall ~
"Students. Students!" Professor Dumbledore repeated after not silencing the students the first time, but the second time it was effective. "I know that we are already one week into the school year we have a new student. She is transferring in from Salem Academy for Witches and she'll be in her 4th year. Professor McGonagol if you will bring out the Sorting Hat so that she can be sorted. Oh and her name is Jewels Hall. She will be joining in the classes today," Dumbledore said and the main entrance of the Great Hall opened. The girl that was standing there walked silently to the stool in the front of the hall. Jewels had dirty blonde hair that was an inch or two longer than shoulder-length and light hazel eyes. Like Alex and Lily she wasn't wearing a uniform. Instead, she was wearing a pair of black baggy pants, which had a few chains hanging from them. She was also wearing a forest green tank top with her cloak on. Her cloak was black on the outside with a deep green on the inside. She had on few bracelets, a single silver chain necklace, and a pair of hoop earrings in her ears.
Jewels confidently sat on the stool and placed the Sorting Hat, which Professor McGonagol handed her, on top her head to be sorted. To everyone's surprise but Alex's, Jewels' sorting took just as long as hers did. Here's the conversation that was going on between the Sorting Hat and Jewels. And lets just say that right now if thoughts could kill, the Sorting Hat would have been burned five times and then the ashes placed in acid.
~Dear, dear, dear. Once again I must said that you are best suited for Ravenclaw.
I don't care what I am best suited for I know which house I want to be in you stupid hat.
~Hey now. No need to call me names. . . The question is why do you want to be in Gryffindor? You are best suited for Ravenclaw. You are probably the only student who is surely fitted to be put into Ravenclaw.
I don't care. And have you looked into my past you stupid hat? I've shown more bravery than I have knowledge now hurry up and sort me. I'm getting sick of having everyone staring at me.
~Alright then. . . you are right when you say that you've shown more bravery than knowledge. . . but. . . ok if you insist. . . I'll put you in, "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted out to the Great Hall. The Gryffindors, excluding Alex, burst into applause as the girl snatched the Sorting Hat off her head and literally threw it back at Professor McGonagol who barely caught it. Why couldn't it have just realized things a little sooner? Now everyone's staring at me. . . except for that one girl at the Slytherin's but that ones a given. . . oh well, Jewels thought to herself as she pulled herself into the only free seat which was next to Alex.
"Jewels Hall, pleased to meet you," Jewels said ignoring everyone staring and not really noticing that the two girls she was sitting with were the only other two not wearing uniforms out of the whole school. "What's the first thing on schedule?" she asked before turning towards the other students. "What may I ask are you staring at?!" she asked loudly causing them all to turn around and look down at their plates.
"Lily Evans here. That's Alexis Evans. . . if you want to keep your limbs call her Alex. Oh and she doesn't like talking much. . . quiet gothic type but good job with the staring people. By the way like your outfit," Lily said as she put some food on her plate. Alex did the same as she looked the new girl over and nodded her head with approval at her outfit.
"I agree with Lil, nice outfit. And yes, if you value your limbs call me Alex," Alex said quietly. However, Snape and Malfoy were walking by and heard her. They shared a sneer and stayed behind then. Alex sensed them and her eyes narrowed visibly. "If you are just there to piss me off, then you go back to where you came from. Or does Lucy need a reminder of what pain can be dealt in one swift movement?"
"Why thank you Alex," Jewels said turning to see who she suddenly started talking to in a cold, harsh voice that she hadn't talked to her in. Behind her were Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. "Oh joy. . . slime balls. . . "
"Yes Lucy. . . do you need a reminder?" Lily sneered at him remembering that he was in the Hospital Wing for a day after the episode everyone heard about in the hall. Snape and Malfoy were now seething with anger. Malfoy was just about to grab hold of Lily's arm but Alex and Jewels caught it at the same time.
"I don't know who you are. . . but you can climb back to the slimy nest that you crawled out of anytime," Jewels said coldly, her hazel eyes glaring at him. Malfoy glared at Alex and then at Jewels before feeling his blood run cold when both girls glared daggers at him and tightened their grips on his arm. Many people had turned to see what was going on and more than half smiled to see someone gripping Malfoy's arm. . . tightly.
"No Evans. I was just merely surprised that someone like you could possibly dish out. . . anyone," he said with disgust as he looked at Jewels, "a compliment when they are just as much of a freak as you are." Snape had said this and before Jewels could react Alex had stood, let go of Malfoy's arm, and had Snape pinned to the wall. "What? Want to have your way with me?" he asked with a hidden smirk.
"Snivelly, that would only. . . EVER, happen in your dreams. Which I prefer to be left out of. As I was about to say before you opened your overly large mouth and started talking about things you don't even know. Stay out of my way. Stay out of my friends' way. And get this, don't mess with them. Or you might as well be dead. I will make your life a living nightmare. So, stay. Out. Of. My. Way." She said as she pushed him against the wall making his head bang into the wall painfully.
"What's going on here?!" a loud male's voice boomed from outside the barrage of students who had run over to watch what was happening. The man pushed his way through the crowd to see his own student, Snape, being held to the wall by a girl. By a half-blood no less, he thought to himself. "Break it up!" he shouted at the students who dispersed quickly. The only students left in that area were Lucius Malfoy, who's fingers were purple because of Jewel's tight grip on them, Jewels, Lily, Alex, who still had Snape pinned to the wall, and Snape. "Miss Evans. Detention for fighting a student and 20 points taken from Gryffindor for the same reason. Miss Hall, I will also take 10 points off for cutting off the circulation to Mr. Malfoy's arm. Now then, get to class and I will talk to you about your detention later," he said as he walked away pushing Alex away from Snape. Alex was seething with anger and anyone who looked at her could tell that she was angry and didn't dare cross her path in a negative way as she walked down to the dungeons with Lily and Jewels in tow behind her.
"Ignore Scott, Alex. You know that he's just ticked at the fact that a girl one year younger can beat the crap out of his own student," Lily said following Alex with Jewels. Alex just nodded knowing that it was the truth but she was too angry to say anything and Lily knew this even though they had only met a week ago. The three girls walked into the Potions room together and all three had narrowed eyes. They sat together at the table next to the Marauders' table. Professor Scott, the Head of Slytherin House and Potions professor, walked in with a smirk across his face.
"Sit down students. Today you will be making a weak truth potion. Near the end of this class you will all take the potion," Scott said smirking. "I will ask you one question after you have drunk the potion and you will answer in a voice that doesn't seem like your own. Now, get to work. You will find the ingredients and instructions on page 113 of your book." With that last statement he sat down at his desk.
"I'll go get the supplies," Jewels said as she stood from the three's table and walked over to the desk where the supplies were. As she was walking Snape purposely bumped into her with a smirk across his face and then walked away with his supplies. Jewels gave him a death glare as she grabbed all the supplies they three would need and then walked back over to their table. "Sorry I took so long. Snivelly bumped into me." As she said this she put the stuff down on the table. Alex just nodded and automatically started a fire under the cauldron and began adding the things like it said in the instructions.
"What things do you think he's going to ask you Alex?" Lily asked as Alex was stirring the stuff in the cauldron. Alex had just finished adding the ingredients and now how to let it set for 30 minutes and it would be done. She also sighed when she heard Lily's question being directed to her.
"I don't know but I also don't care. Knowing him something terrible like: What was the worst thing I've ever done? And the answer to that would scare even him," she said with a smirk as she stirred the potion once more. "And he'll probably ask old Snivelly and Lucy who they like. . . just to embarrass them or ask them who's the best-looking girl. . . " she said nonchalantly. "Now we just let it sit," she said.
* With the Marauders *
"Prongsie. . . staring at her isn't going to help your cause any. It'll just make her angrier. And did you know that the Queen of the Ice Queens did it again? She slammed Snivelus into the wall at the Great Hall," Sirius said grinning. "That girl has guts. . . I wonder what Scott will ask her and us. . . " Sirius said losing his grin.
"Does it really matter? And I know that staring isn't going to help me any but she keeps refusing me and it's driving me mad," James said. "I can't take this anymore. . . " James said sighing as he finished putting in the ingredients of the potion and letting it sit.
"Well what are you going to do mate?" Sirius asked knowing exactly what James was talking about. James was talking about the fact that he continuously asked Lily Evans out but every time she would insult him, turn him down, or even ignore him. Sirius knew that it drove him nuts but didn't want to push the matter any further seeing as Lily and Alex were the two hardest girls to even get into a conversation with.
"Did you realize that the new girl gets along well with those two?" sensible Remus asked as he noticed how the three girls were immersed into conversation. The other three Marauders nodded their heads also thinking that this was rather odd. No one was used to the Ice Queens to actually be in a conversation with anyone else besides themselves, even if they had to talk because of an assignment.
"Now class. Your potions should be done by now. Good, good. . . you all are done," Professor Scott said to himself hiding a grin as he looked at the Marauders and Ice Queens. "Miss Alexis. You take a vial of yours and drink it. Then I will ask you a question and you will answer truthfully." Alex hid the evil smirk that was crossing her face and poured out a small vial. She sat in her chair and then drank the liquid in the vial in one single gulp. Her body went rigid as the potion took effect. "It's working. Now then. . . Miss Evans, what is the worst thing that you've ever done at Durmstrang?"
"Cursing ten people into the hospital wing for two weeks. . . one of which being the Headmaster," she said in a monotone voice, which made it clear that the potion had made her say it and it wasn't her choice. Everyone looked at her shock except for Lily and Jewels, who really didn't care what she said or what she was asked. Right after answering the question she smirked, the potion had worn off. "Did you like the answer to your question, Professor Scott?" she asked, her words dripping with sarcasm.
". . . " he was about to say something but couldn't spit out what he was trying to say and then recovered. "Ten points from Gryffindor for your smart-alec comments Miss Evans," he said with a sadistic smirk. "Moving along. Potter, drink yours." He commanded of James. James did the same thing as Alex and drank his potion. "Who do you like?" Scott asked with an evil grin upon his face.
"Lily. . . " James said in a monotone voice just like Alex's but lower because of course, he's a guy! He too came back to reality once he answered the question and quickly looked away from everyone's eyes.
"Now, now. No need to be shy about it. Black, you drink it too," Scott said as he looked at Sirius. Sirius glared visibly, took the potion, and swallowed it in one gulp. "Do you love your family?" Scott asked knowing the problems within his family, the ones between him, his mum, and his younger brother Regulus.
"No I do not," Sirius said in a monotone voice just like Alex and James. As the potion wore off he remembered the question that was asked of him and he glared murderously at Professor Scott and then at his cousin, Bellatrix Black, who was smiling evilly at him after he answered the question. The look in her eyes were one that said 'I'm telling my aunt.'
"Ok. . . Mr. Snape, your turn your turn to drink the potion. Drink your potion and I will ask you one question," Professor Scott said to him as he walked over to his table. Snape drank his potion without second thought and Scott asked him the same question that he had asked James. "Who do you like?"
"Lily Evans," he answered but it was so low that only a few people heard this. though, Lily was one of the ones who had heard it. Her eyes were filled with bewilderment and hatred towards him and the Marauders who burst out laughing because they too had heard him. James looked a bit disoriented but continued laughing. Snape regained his senses soon enough and glared at all the Gryffindors who were laughing and at the Slytherins who were talking about how one of them could like a 'mudblood' like her.
"That will be enough class. Mr. Malfoy. I do believe that it's your turn to drink the potion," Scott said after the class finally stopped laughing at Snape. Malfoy, like Snape, drank the potion in a single gulp. "Mr. Malfoy, who do you like?"
"Jewels Hall," Malfoy said and then added, "And Narcissa Black." At this the Marauders all gagged. Alex gagged herself when he said Jewels' name. Jewels was looking like a deer caught in a cars headlights mouthing words like 'why me?!' Lily glanced at her and mouthed back 'at least you aren't liked by a slime ball!' Alex looked at the two and read their lips and shook her head suppressing the strong urge to laugh at her two friends.
Professor Scott continued to go through and ask every student a question while they were under the weak truth potion. When the bell rang the Ice Queens were the first ones out of the room, though Snape and Malfoy were right behind them. And right behind those two were the Marauders who were always cautious around Snape and Malfoy.
~ With the Ice Queens ~
"Good god that was sickening!" Jewels exclaimed once they got out of the potions lesson. She had a sickened expression still on her face from when Malfoy said that he liked her. For God's sake. . . he barely even knew her!
"I think that you have it better than me," Lily replied darkly. "At least the one who likes you knows how to WASH their HAIR!" she exclaimed as she shuddered at the thought of Snape liking her. Sure she didn't like him, but who did. She didn't necessarily hate him, but only when he was doing something she despised. . . such as calling muggle-borns like herself a mudblood. When Lily said this Jewels stifled a small laugh and Alex gave her a small smile.
"Looks like you're one of us now. Lily, initiation ceremony? Tonight?" Alex said smirking towards Lily. Lily caught the smirk and smiled. Jewels looked at the two of them confused.
"Yup. . . but only if she wants to be one of us," Lily said as she held out her right hand. Alex put her hand over Lily's and looked towards Jewels.
"You in? Want to join me and Lily?" Alex asked. "If so, put your hand in with ours, and we will perform the initiation ceremony with you tonight," she said. Jewels looked at her and nodded. She then put her hand on top of Lily and Alex's hands and smiled.
"I'm in. . . and is it ok if they see us doing this?" Jewels asked as she spotted the Marauders and Malfoy and Snape watching the three of them. "I'll never be the same anymore. . . that one moment scarred me for life," she said jokingly and Alex and Lily appreciated it because they let out small laughs.
"Yeah, you'd definitely make a good addition to our group," Alex said. "And I would be scarred for life to if I knew the a blond who happens to LOOK like a girl said he liked me," she said loud enough for the others to hear. The Marauders laughed as the other two glared at the three. "Don't worry. He seemed to like the idea of hitting on me before he knew that I could hex him into next year. . . or even beat the living daylights out of him. Considering on the first day I just happened to dislocate his arm," she said loudly still knowing that he could hear her, and she was correct. He paled when she said this and sent her a death glare before walking away. "Ah yes. . . that must be why they call me the Queen of the Ice Queens, am I right Lily?" Alex said with a raised eyebrow.
"Ah yes you are correct my dear. You are the Queen of the Ice Queens and I am the Princess of the Ice Queens," Lily said smiling as she flattened down her shirt and pulled her long auburn locks into a ponytail. Alex did the same as the three girls walked into the Great Hall attracting all the attention because out of everyone in the school they were the only ones to not wear the uniform.
"Seeing anything interesting?" Alex asked them all with a dark look. Half the students shook their heads while others just stared. What she had said during the Potions lesson had obviously gotten around to everyone. "Well it would be wise if you stopped staring. unless of course you would like to lose the ability." Alex said this with a really dark look towards the crowd and they all turned away with frightened looks on their faces. "Much better. Shall we girls?" Alex asked as she led them to the place she and Lily always ate.
"This is where we sit Jewels. We sit here everyday," Lily explained as Alex just sat and started eating. "Yea. Meet us in the common room. Ten o'clock. Be on time or don't come," Lily said as she to helped herself to some food. When she said this, she didn't notice that four boys had overheard their whole conversation, but Alex knew this. She had this weird knack for knowing when people were listening in on her conversation or watching her.
The four boys that had heard the conversation just happened to be the Marauders. The four, excluding Peter, exchanged odd glanced and then walked away. Once they were far enough away not to be heard they erupted.
"Ten tonight?!" Peter asked. "B-b-but. . . that's. . . a-a-after h- h-ours. . . " he managed to stutter before anyone else said anything.
"What are they crazy?" Sirius asked loudly. "How are they going to get out without Filch catching them?" he explained further when he was met by a few wary glances.
"Do you really think that those two have an initiation process into the Ice Queens?" James asked with a bewildered look on his face. After about a minute no one had said a thing a light bulb switched on in his head. "We'll follow them with the invisibility cloak tonight." James said smiling.
"Fantastic idea Prongsie," Sirius said grinning from ear to ear, only to be hit on the back of the head by James.
"How many times do I have to tell you?! Do NOT call me Prongsie!" James said as he put a lot of emphasis on the word 'not' by hitting Sirius upside the head. Sirius growled at him as he rubbed the back of his head. "Now then. lets get up to the dorm and plan."
"I don't think it wise to just up and follow them. . . you have no idea what they could possibly do," Remus said. He sighed and nodded his approval when James and Sirius glared at him for possibly ruining one of their best ideas yet. "Just don't let the Evans twins catch us. . . " he said with a look of horror on his face at the thought of being caught. Everyone referred to the two as twins because they were both born in the same month, acted the same, and had the same last name. You just have to make sure that you don't let them hear you saying it.
The four boys all had mischievous grins on their faces as they walked up the stair and into the common room, and from there to their dorm. Anyone who saw them would have thought that they were up to planning a prank but they didn't realize how wrong they really were.
~ Ten At Night ~
Alex and Lily were in the common room waiting for Jewels to come down from their dorm room. Alex had something in her bag along with the necessary stuff. Right when the clock struck ten, Jewels was down the stairs and with them.
"Punctual I see," Lily said softly so as not to catch anyone's attention, though there were only few people out. Alex nodded at the door ignoring the feeling that they were being watched. Lily and Jewels nodded then followed her quietly out of the common room. The four boys followed them out while still under the invisibility cloak and watched as the three girls suddenly disappeared with a whisk of a cloak.
"They've got an invisibility cloak," James whispered to his fellow Marauders even though they already knew that. He then whipped out the Marauder's Map and muttered, 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.' Lines and dots appeared on the Map and showed where the three girls were. The four followed closely keeping the map out since the girls were invisible.
"Almost there Lily," Alex whispered to her as they neared the witch's hump. "A-ha, there it is," she muttered victoriously as they walked to it. "Dissendium." With that command and the tap of Alex's wand, the witch's hump opened and allowed them to enter. The four boys looked at each other and quietly slipped in before the girls could notice and before they closed it.
"Lex. . . do you have the feeling that we're being watched?" Lily asked suddenly as they were walking down the passageway. The three had taken off the invisibility cloak so now the Marauders could see them well and all the boys held their breath.
"Yeah, I do. But we just continue on, I feel sorry for anyone who'll walk in on our initiation process," Alex said as they got to the end of the passage and walked up into Honeydukes quietly. The four boys quietly followed them out of the store and a little ways from Hogsmeade. The boys were surprised at where they found themselves.
The girls had led them right into the middle of a ring of trees. With a close look you could tell that the Cherry Blossom trees were planted in an exact circle. Some of the Cherry Blossoms were blowing in the wind. The clearing was covered with newly grown grass, and it wasn't extremely large but not extremely small either. If they had been there for some other reason they would have liked it better but at the time they were to busy spying on the three girls.
James and Sirius watched in interest as Lily and Alex positioned themselves next to Jewels and held hands having Jewels in between the two of them. The two whispered something to Jewels and Jewels nodded.
"Lets do this Lil," Alex said with a small smile as her and Lily's hands began to glow where they met. Lily nodded smiling and the glow grew brighter. The two girls chanted quietly and the glowing ceased, though now there was a small dagger floating in front of Jewels.
"Make a horizontal cut on the palm of each of your hands then pass the dagger," Alex explained as she and Lily dropped each other's hands. Jewels' looked at them apprehensively then made up her mind by taking the dagger and carefully cutting two small cuts, and then she passed to dagger to Lily who did the same thing before passing the dagger to Alex. Alex grabbed the dagger and motioned for the two to sit on the mats behind them. They did as she motioned and she sat on her own then cut her own hands. The dagger flew from her hand and landed directly in the middle of them, blade in the ground.
"Now we put our hands together. . . " Alex addressed and the three girls did so. Alex's left hand was holding Jewels' right and her right holding Lily's left and you can tell the rest by just imagining that much. The light produced by their joined hands was blinding to the boys but the girls weren't affected.
"The initiation is almost over!" Lily shouted to Jewels who looked exhausted for no reason at all, well actually there was a reason. The charm the three were performing drain's portions of your energy randomly without any warning but Lily and Alex could withstand it because of the previous ceremony.
"Bind us now!" Alex shouted out and a huge gust of wind circled around them, blowing the boys around for a minute. When the wind was gone the three girls were now standing heads held high in long flowing dresses, each had their own color. Alex was wearing a deep red that matched the tips of her hair, Lily was wearing a sparkling green that went well with her eyes, and Jewels was wearing an ice blue that went well with her hazel eyes. All three of the girls looked like right royal queens but the boys knew better, even though their mouths had dropped at the sight of them.
"Now then. Blood sisters, forever," Alex said smiling a real smile that went to her eyes. "Shall we get back to the castle. . . or maybe," Alex said with a mischievous smirk as she glanced at where the four marauders were. "Maybe I should just give them a scare. . . " she said. Lily smiled and Jewels looked at her confused.
The four Marauders were looking at them in awe still even throughout the exchange of words that went on so they didn't really hear what Alex had said. What they wanted to know was what kind of magic this was. . . they had never seen anything like it and they didn't even use their wands while performing it. Remus, like always, was the first one to snap out of his daze, only to realize that Alex was no longer standing with Jewels and Lily. In fact, he didn't see her anywhere as he looked around the field. James and Sirius also started looking around for the girl that had disappeared without them noticing it. As the three looked around Peter was on the ground moaning about something, and the three looked up to see Lily and Jewels but the two were gone.
"Prongs! Padfoot! Moony! A LITTLE HELP HERE?!?!" Peter exclaimed from the ground. The three other Marauders turned to look at their fellow troublemaker surprised when they saw a wolf on top of him. "HELP!" he shouted again and the three boys scrambled, not knowing what to do.
"Where did it come from?!" Remus exclaimed. "Its not a werewolf. . . " Remus started but was cut off by a female's voice.
"Yea, but you are," the voice said from a distance. The girl was Lily, and they were in a nearby tree looking down at the scene trying not to burst out laughing. "We've known Remus. You can't hide your secret from everyone, especially intelligent people," Lily added. Remus had gone pale and the other boys had faltered their movements. The wolf that was on Peter padded up to Remus and grabbed part of his robes. Then the wolf pulled him to the tree where Jewels and Lily were.
"There's no need to hide what you are from us," Lily said jumping from the tree landing in front of him.
"So there's no need to even try to deny it," Jewels said jumping down as well, landing directly next to Lily. "Now then. . . we need to be getting back to the dorms. Class tomorrow," Jewels said as she and Lily walked off towards the castle. The Marauders looked at the wolf that had just ran off.
"Now that. . . was weird. . . " James said looking at her friends. "Um. . . where did Evans go though?" he asked suspicious.
"No idea. . . but lets go back to the castle." Remus said still looking somewhat shocked at the Ice Queens finding out his deepest secret, which he tried to hide from everyone. The only ones who had ever found out before were his fellow Marauders and they were even studying to become Animagi to join him during his transformations.
"Come on Moony, we'll confront them tomorrow if you think that it'll help any," James said as they started on their way back to the castle. The boys made it back to the castle without any problems after they put on the invisibility cloak seeing as they forgot to put it on earlier.
~ With the Ice Queens ~
"Heh. . . well at least he knows we know now," Lily said as she and Jewels walked slowly waiting for their leader to come from wherever she was. Suddenly Alex bounded out of a side bush and slung arms around their shoulders. "Speak of the devil," Lily said grinning.
"Hey. You know you love me," Alex said smiling. "Anyways, now then. Jewels you need a nickname. . . mine is Akuma. Lily's is Arasu. . . I know. . . you can be Tsuki," Alex said smiling still.
"Akuma. . . Arasu. . . Tsuki?" Jewels asked with raised eyebrows. Lily quickly filled her in on what the three words meant, telling her that each were Japanese. Akuma meant Devil, Arasu meant to ruin or devastate, and Tsuki meant moon. "I like it Akuma," Jewels said smiling.
"Those will be the names that we call each other in our notes and when we're just screwing around," Lily added. "Well then. . . lets get back to the castle."
The three girls made it to the castle very easily after Lily cast an invisibility charm over all three of them so that they wouldn't have to huddle under the invisibility cloak once again. All three girls were tired when they got to bed and for once, Alex didn't have a fitful sleep.
