[AN. and another slow update. I'm getting very bad at these. But you will have to excuse me I have three hard courses this semester, Philosophy, OAC Physics (shutter) and Calculas.
My Reviewers:
Lily Skylo ~ thank you I trySamson ~thank you and you will see lots more of Snape he's one of the main characters
Erin ~ guess I wasn't as sneaky about that particular piece of info as I thought I was [sigh] oh well on with the story
Sara Minks ~ descriptions are not my strong point but I will try to make an effort to add more description in the future
Guardian of the Moon ~ you got Leilani right and continue your line of thought on the fallen tenshi the name doesn't exactly match but it is close
Bucky ~ thank you for the compliment I don't truly think this is wonderful but to each his own. You will meet Rose and Sev's little girl this chapter and I'm sorry but this not going to be a Ginny/Harry romance. I've already planed out who Harry will be dating.
Disclaimer: the characters of Leilani, Junko, Kiara Braeden, Anastasia Kou Cosmos and Rosaline Kou Cosmos are mine everything else belongs to J. K. Rowling. Also the Heaven's Gate potion is an idea of my own creation. If you wish to use it please ask and I'll be happy to let you make use of it.

Chapter 12 ~ The Bond Between Soul Mates
Kiara followed after Sev as he made his way through the halls of Hogwarts towards the Hospital Wing. She noticed that every so often he would pause and bow his head, as if in pain.
"Are you okay, Sev?" Kiara asked as he paused once more.
"I'm fine, I just have a headache," Sev replied, as he began moving once again. Kiara moved to walk beside her young friend. They were 20 feet from the Hospital Wing when Sev stumbled, almost crashing into the floor. Kiara barely caught the two of them as they tumbled face first towards the stone floor of the corridor. Kiara eased Sev down so that he was seated against the wall.
"What happened?" she asked Sev as she knelt down beside him.
"I don't know. One minute I was fine and the next it felt like felt like a herd of rampaging hippogriffs decided to take a shortcut through my head," Sev told Kiara as he leaned back against the wall, clutching the unconscious form of Rose closer to him. "The thing is though is that I could almost images behind the pain."
"What kind of images?" Kiara questioned as she jerked her head around to look at Sev.
"They were almost like memories but they weren't mine. I didn't recognize any of the people I saw. What's going on Kiara, what's happening?" Sev asked as he looked up his friend.
"I don't know Sev. Give me Rose, I'll take her to the hospital wing and then come back for you." Sev nodded his head and reluctantly handed Rose over to Kiara. "Stay here and don't move," Kiara told him before she dashed towards the hospital wing. Kiara gently laid Rose down on the bed nearest to the door and then hurried back to Sev. "Sev," she called as she knelt down beside her young friend. Sev slowly lifted his head, onyx eyes glazed with pain.
"Make them stop, please," Sev begged as he gripped his head in his hands.
"I'm going to do everything I can to help you Sev. Now hold on, we need to get you to the hospital wing." Kiara scooped the young Slytherin up into her arms before once again dashing towards the infirmary. When she laid Sev down on the bed beside Rose she noticed that he was unconscious. Kiara conjured a chair and sat between the beds of her two friends. 'Oh Slytherin please let them be alright.'

Leilani was making her way to the Great Hall for lunch. 'It didn't go as bad as I thought it would.' Leilani reflected back on the two classes she had just taught. 'It's not that much different from teaching potions back home.' Only a few potions had been so badly created that there was no way they could have been saved. Only a few students had actually created perfect potions and the rest had created potions that could be saved. As she walked down the hall deep in her thoughts she failed to notice the four students who were running towards her until they ran into her.
"Oh we're so sorry…. Professor Tenshi!" Hermonie exclaimed as she clambered up from where she fallen to the floor in the collision.
"Just Leilani is fine when you're not in classes," Leilani told her as she carefully stood up. "Why are you in such a big rush?"
"It's Rose pro… Leilani. Professor Cosmos said she'd explain it to you when you got to the hospital wing," Ron told her. Leilani sighed, Ana always was cryptic with her messages.
"Alright I'll head there now. Was there anyone else you were asked to tell?"
"The headmaster and Madam Pomfery," Draco told her.
"Alright go and tell them to hurry," Leilani shouted as she ran down the hall towards the hospital wing. She entered to find Kiara seated between Sev and Rose. "What happened?" Lei demanded.
"Ana will tell you when she arrives," Kiara answered her.
"But…," Leilani began only to be cut off.
"You will find out at the same time as everyone else Leilani," Kiara told her. Leilani sighed knowing that this was one battle she was not going to win.
Leilani took a seat on the edge of Rose's bed and took her hand into her own. She stared at Rose as if she was trying to look into her very soul to see what was wrong with her. So absorbed was she in her study of Rose that she didn't even notice as Professor Dumbledore and Madam Pomfery entered the hospital wing. Only when Ana entered did she look up.
"What happened?" Leilani asked.
"She saw Harry's life. The on-slot of images caused her to faint," Ana told Leilani.
"And Sev, why is he unconscious?" Lei asked, indicating with her head the other motionless body.
"I believe that their bond is still active," Kiara told her from her seat.
"What?" both Leilani and Ana shouted as they looked at Kiara in shock.
"But their only 15. The bond was just beginning to form when they were this old," Leilani protested.
"And you know that once the bond is formed that nothing can break it Leilani. Not time, distance, or death. I guess we can add de-aging to that list now," Ana told her as she sank gratefully onto the edge of Sev's bed.
"What is going on if you don't mind me asking, and what is this about a bond?" Professor Dumbledore asked the trio who sat before him and Madam Pomfery.
"You know that Rose is a seer Albus," Ana told him. At his nod of affirmation she continued. "At 15 Rose had very flimsy shields around her mind compared to the ones she has now. Often she would just look at a person and would see everything that has happened to them in the past. However this only happened with people to whom she had some connection to in the past. This is what happened today. She locked eyes with Harry, quite by accident, and saw everything that has happened to him in the past. The speed in which the memories were entering her mind was too much for her to bare and she fainted."
Both Albus and Poppy seemed to be deep in thought as they reflected over what they had just heard. "And the bond?" Albus asked.
"That is harder to explain. You are aware headmaster that the people of Cosmos believe in soul mates and soul bonds," Ana informed the two Hogwarts professors. Albus nodded while Poppy looked confused for a moment.
"What does soul mates and soul bonds have to… oh, they have a bond," Madam Pomfery exclaimed as she looked at the two patients on beds.
"Yes. They are soul mates professor. When they met here at Hogwarts the day we started our 5th year the bond began to form. The bond was completely formed by the time we graduated from Hogwarts. They were married shortly after Rose became Queen. What made you think that the bond was active Kiara," Ana asked as she turned to face her friend.
"On the journey to the hospital wing he would stop often, his head bowed in pain. When we were about 20 feet from the hospital wing he stumbled and the two of them nearly crashed to the floor. When he had recovered I asked him what had happened. He replied that one-minute he was fine, the next he felt as though a herd of rampaging hippogriffs had taken a detour through his head. He also told me that he could see images behind the pain almost like memories, but not his own. He was begging me to make them stop when I came back from taking Rose to the hospital wing," Kiara told them as she looked down at Sev.
Ana closed her eyes and began to glow with a slight golden light. The two teenagers lying on the hospital wing beds began to glow as well. As the other in the room watched the dark purple light surrounding Sev and the silver light surrounding Rose reached across the gap between the two beds. The lights met in the middle and instead of over powering one another, merged and blended to form a silvery purple light. Albus and Poppy watched amazed as the light formed by the merging of Sev and Rose's magics moved towards Leilani and covered her in its glow. The magics flashed brightly causing everyone to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes once more the lights had vanished.
"What was that?" Poppy asked as she stared at the three the lights had surrounded.
"A spell that shows bonds. The merging of Sev and Rose's magics shows that their soul bond. If the bond was not active the magics would not have even moved towards each other but instead remained around their respective wielders," Ana explained as she looked across the gap between the beds towards her sister.
"And the light surrounding Leilani?" Albus asked more to confirm his own suspicions than to learn something he didn't already know.
"Their my parents professor. My true name is Leilani Snape Kou Cosmos, but I'd prefer if I'm just know as Leilani Tenshi for now," Leilani told the headmaster from her seat on Rose's bed.
"Of course. Rose and Ana were the same why when they attended Hogwarts, though everyone knew their true identities they did everything they could to prove that they were just normal children," Professor Dumbledore told Leilani. He smiled down at her when he heard her softly muttered "Thank you." "Now what are we going to do about these two?" Albus asked as he looked down at the two who for all appearances were still unconscious.
"Nothing, me and Sev will deal with this. We don't need any help from you," Rose ground out as she slowly pushed her head up to glare at the headmaster.
"Rose," Sev groaned. "Don't irritate the ones with the pain killing potions please. Your head may not hurt but mine does." At his words Madam Pomfery snapped into action and summoned to two vials from the hospital wing stores.
"Here," she said as she handed them each a vial.
"Thank you," Sev gasped as he downed the potion contained in the vial, Rose following him. Twin sighs of relief could be heard moments later when the potion took effect.
"How do you feel Rose?" Ana asked as she looked at her sister.
"Fine. The memories are all locked up and I'm ready for some fun with a set of three muggles," Rose replied, Sev echoing her sediments.
"You will do nothing Rose. You're older counterpart has already made arrangements to remove Harry from their care. And don't you dare protest Albus," Ana told the headmaster as her head whipped around to face him. His open mouth closed under the force of her glare. "There's no place safer than Cosmos and you know it."
"Why haven't I removed Harry from their care before now then?" Rose asked.
"You didn't know. When you were 19 you went away for you training. It was shortly before Hallowe'en that year. Your training lasted for 10 years," Ana explained.
"Wait then what about her? If I was training how was she born?" Rose asked while pointing at Leilani.
"You did not know you were pregnant when you left. When you arrived for your training you were informed of your condition. You told me later that you were given the option of killing the child or giving birth and then sending the child to me," Ana told her. "You could not stand the thought of killing an innocent life and agreed to the second option. Leilani's birthday is the 30th of June. Your training lasted for 10 years after you had sent Leilani to me."
"For the first 10 years of my life I grew up under Aunt Ana's care with Des, Junko, and Lance. Des was born 2 months after me and Junko and Lance were born on Hallowe'en. She never let me forget that I was your child. You were only allowed to escape from your training on my birthday, Des' and Christmas, and even that was only for a couple of hours. I took an interest in potions at the age of 7 with Des. By the time we were 10 we had learned everything that we could from Aunt Ana. The day you returned from you training was my 10th birthday party. It was the greatest gift I received that day," Leilani told Rose.
"Ok that explains 10 years, so what about the other 5. Harry's 15 and unless I'm missing my mark I was 35 when I drank the potion. What have I been doing for the last 5 years?" Rose demanded to know.
"Harry had only one more year before he could attend Hogwarts. You looked into the future and saw everything that would happen if he didn't attend Hogwarts, which he wouldn't have if you had taken him from the Dursley's care. You have spent the last 5 years catching up on everything you missed and completing the plans and groundwork needed for the completion of you Destiny," Ana told Rose. Rose stared at Ana in shock.
"It's stared?" Rose asked.
"Yes the first of the elemental children has already been revealed," Ana informed Rose.
May the fates be kind and keep us all from the shadow, Rose stated as she bent her head in prayer, the others joining her as well, even if they didn't understand her words.
