AN: Well, we're finally out of the winter holidays. I'm sure I could stretch them out a little more if I wanted too, but if I kept up with them I would have died of boredom. Now we get back to the "actual" story. I really would like to thank all of my lovely reviewers, you all are really what drives my muse to make me write.

Well, now on with the chapter.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chapter Forty

(Present Day)

"Draco, my dear son I need you to do something very important for me." Lucius Malfoy stated to the younger mirror image of him. His son stood in front of the desk that Lucius sat at, his office was dark and cold (just the way he liked it). Draco wasted no time in nodding, that's a good boy…Lucius raised him to obey his father to the end of the world. If Lucius told his boy to jump off a cliff the boy probably would.

"You know that new student correct?"

"You mean the one who is delusional and thinks she's from the past?" Draco asked, as he took a seat in one of the dragon hide chairs that sat near the desk.

The corner of Lucius' mouth upturned in a slight smirk, the trademark smirk of a Malfoy; "Yes, the one who is from the past."

"Sure, I know her…mud blood that doesn't know her place if you ask me."

"I didn't ask what you thought of her Draco, just if you knew her." Lucius started, before gazing into the fire for the briefest of moments; they would have to be off soon if Draco was to catch the train to Hogwarts. "Keep an eye on her."

"What?" Draco inquired slightly aghast at the suggestion of having to 'keep an eye' on a mud blood.

"She, rather you think so or not is…very important. Please do as I say. If you see anything unusual, hear anything unusual, write to me immediately."

"Yes sir."

"Good, now let's be off. We wouldn't want you to miss the train."

Lucius grinned, ah yes; things were going as planned. If he had his way he'd know the secret of that mud bloods power if it killed him.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kit had arrived nearly two hours early for the train. After all, she couldn't very well arrive with Remus by her side (that would raise far to many questions) and then even going back to Hogwarts by floo powder would cause questions for anyone that noticed. This was the safest way to work, neither Kit nor Remus were ready to gamble on the 'if they notice or not' game.

Arriving two hours early, meant getting up a lot sooner then she (and Remus) had been used to. Their days usually started around noon, and this morning they both woke up at four AM after only a few hours of sleep.

Kit didn't want to loose the closeness of being with Remus, but well they both had things to do; he had a job and she had school…at least they were lucky enough that his job and her school happened to be at the same place. Spooks was all to happy to get to go back to Hogwarts, it seemed the black haired purple eyed feline knew exactly where it was headed when Kit shoved the cat into the carrying case. Now, Spooks was out of the case as Kit sat on the train waiting for others to arrive. The cat padding all over Kit's lap, causing a small smile to break across the girls pale face.

Ron was having trouble with Hermione's cat, she could only imagine what he'd be like now that she was bringing in another cat to the Gryffindor Tower. Ah yes, she had heard all the fighting and yelling about how Crookshanks was trying to eat Scabbers, and since Kit knew who Scabbers actually was she only smiled. Stupid git deserved to have a cat after him.

No doubt he'd have Spooks after him now too, "You'll remember his scent huh spooky Spooks?" had been the question she asked her cat, who's only reply was a lazy meow as he fell onto Kit's lap.

A sigh was given as blue eyes glanced out the compartment she was in, the others were finally arriving and Kit could only think about how hard it was going to be without having Remus by her side twenty four hours a day. Hands played at the ring on her hand, and she glanced down…would anyone notice or ask about the ring?

She didn't want to take it off, maybe she could say she got it from Dumbledore who had saved all of her things that were left behind on the off chance she came back? A frown was given, the ring looked too new to be so old…maybe she charmed it to stay like new?

Yes, that would work. Nose twitched and she sat back, hands stroking the cat in her lap.

Only a few months until summer holidays…right?

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Remus, much like Kit was having a hard time adjusting to not having his counterpart around. As he drove back to his little cottage all he could think about was her, was she okay at the train station alone? Would she be okay without him? What about her nightmares? Better yet, what was Lucius up to? All the questions were driving him insane as he got ready to go back to Hogwarts.

He had arrived at Hogwarts by floo, popping into the headmasters office with only a slight tumble out of the grate. After all of his years he would never be able to make a perfect landing. He was in the middle of dusting himself off when Dumbledore appeared next to him, "After all these years you still land in a tumble."

Remus gave a small grin, and nodded; it was embarrassing , after all he was a grown man, you would expect him to at least manage a landing right. Dumbledore clapped his shoulder, "Please, could I take a few moments of your time?"

"Certainly Albus." Remus, after all these years still had a bit of trouble referring to the Headmaster by his first name now that he was working with him. Being led into the main office area, Dumbledore sat down behind his desk, Fawkes chirped happily, and Remus took a seat in one of the plushy chairs.

"So you finally popped the question? Lemon drop?"

"No thanks, and yes I did…how did you?"

Dumbledore grinned, and his blue eyes twinkled with humor as he shrugged ever so slightly. "Let's just say I have talent about knowing things when it comes to my students." Was said after a moment of silence, a breath was taken in and a hand was raised to stroke at his beard. "Love is an amazing thing…sometimes I find myself wondering what this world would be like without it…" Dumbledore mused.

"I'd say that would be an awful place to live then, a world without love would be…horrible." Remus stated, all the while wondering what exactly Dumbledore had up his sleeve.

"Indeed it would be." After a moment, Dumbledore raised from his seat (obviously while he might have been old, he was still at times as restless as a six year old) the older man took a moment to steal a glance out the window, watching as the snow floated through the air. "At first, when Kit came back I was worried."

"Worried--why?" Remus asked, now very concerned at the situation. Did Dumbledore think there was going to be something wrong with Kit? Why would he be worried?

"I was worried Remus, because I wasn't sure if you two would be able to get over your little obstacle." He stated, obviously meaning that little bump in the road of love called AGE. Dumbledore let out a sigh, and grinned slightly as he turned back towards the desk. "Although, I know I shouldn't be worried…what you two are…it was obvious that age didn't matter…but still…"

"What we are?"

"Yes, it seems that I have some explaining to do. I figured now would be the best time to do it, when people find out about…the matter of your relationship with Kit…it will be hard, but it's important that neither of you give up…"

"I don't quite understand Albus." Remus stated, now on the edge of his seat wishing that the Headmaster would just spit out what he had to say.

"When Kit disappeared, Minerva and myself kept a close eye on you. We really feared for the worst." Remus opened his mouth to speak, but Dumbledore raised his hand "Please, let me continue; you can ask any question you might have when I'm done with this little, or rather large explanation."

Remus gave a nod, and Dumbledore continued on with his explanation of things; "When Minerva introduced you to Kit to tutor her so many years ago, we had no idea who you two were. We thought that you would tutor her and that would be it…but you two started a relationship and it was easy to see. Easier to see now, the way you look at her out of the corner of your eye during meals, or how you pace around the library in hopes to just get a glance at her. Have you ever heard of the term Twin Flames?"

"Twin Flames…" Remus mouthed, searching his brain for any explanation to that word. When finding none he simply shook his head.

"Ah yes, as to be expected I'd imagine…not many people know about them seeing as a Twin Flame is very different, and very rare…you and Kit, are Twin Flames…I've only just now seemed to notice it when she came back to this time…it was really how easy the two of you seemed to be able to start up your relationship again, as if she hadn't been out of your life for fifteen years.

Twin Flames, simply put are people who share a soul. Where you have separate bodies from each other, but the soul is shared. It's a more extreme version of soul-mates I believe."

"So Kit and I? We're…Twin Flames?" Remus asked, blinking and letting his heart-rate calm down. So it wasn't as bad or as horrible as he thought it was…

"Yes, it's why I've been hoping that your relationship continues. You see Twin Flames, like you and Kit are obviously very comfortable with each other, very compatible, sometimes even a form of telepathy can be created between Twin Flames…but, when one Twin Flame lives without its twin…it's very…dire."

"Thus why you were worried about me when Kit went away?" Remus asked, arching a brow and leaning back in his seat a little bit.

"Yes, that's exactly the reason. But, that is the same reason that I knew Kit would return to us someday, because you were still going strong…she had to be alive…"

"That…that means…" Ah yes, it seemed that it was dawning on Remus already what Dumbledore was getting at.

"Yes, that means that if she had died all those years ago like some thought; you should have died right along with her…or rather a part of you would die. Most likely you wouldn't be able to go on living without your Twin Flame nearby, thus dying of a broken heart…"

"That's why you were trying to push us and keep us together during this timeline…because we…" Remus trailed off, slowly becoming lost in thought.

"Yes, that is why. If you two aren't together, if you were forced to separate…the consequences would be dire…when you deprive Twin Flames of the person they need the most…" Dumbledore said, taking a moment to return to his desk. "I'm telling you this now because you and Kit will face hardships, not only is she half your age, but you are a werewolf Remus and certain people are going to try and stop this relationship."

"And I can't let that happen."

"Exactly."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kit arrived at Hogwarts with no intentions of going to dinner, instead she and Spooks (who was trailing behind her) headed up towards the Gryffindor common room.

She would have liked nothing better then to go to dinner and see Remus sitting their at the head table, but that would have simply tore her heart to shreds. So, instead up the stairs she went, with plans of asking Harry if she could use James' cloak when he got back from dinner.

After all, she still had to deliver Sirius' present. Harry's had been sent by mail, so hopefully he got his a day or so before Christmas (and hopefully he liked it). The common room was empty when she arrived, after briefly arguing with Sir Cadogan who thought she was an enemy or something because he kept yelling at her that she had no courage and should come back and fight him as she went into the common room.

Her only thought was that the Fat Lady had better come back soon.

She bit at her bottom lip, watching as Spooks made itself at home in front of the fire, stretching out on its back. Now that she was at Hogwarts what would she do all day? Well, other then study and do homework of course. She missed Remus already and it had only been a few hours.

For awhile, she wandered up to the girls dormitories and took a few moments to look around. Nothing changed, not that she thought it would mind you…she just need something to do until Harry got back to the common room.

She grabbed one of her books, and headed back down only to find that Spooks had moved from the fire and was currently in a deep conversation with Crookshanks? They were meowing back and forth as they sat on the sofa, and in all honestly all Kit could do was gawk at them like a crazy person.

Normal cats didn't do that…but then again, they quite obviously weren't normal cats.

Kit blinked for a moment and made her way towards one of the plushy chairs, all the while keeping an eye at the meowing cats, all and all wondering what they were talking about.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It was only a few moments after she started to read when the first of the students started to trickle in after dinner, some went up to the dorms while others went about playing chess or games of exploding Snape. Enjoying the last day before the return to normal classes.

"Kit, could I possibly talk to you for a moment?" Harry had asked when he came into the common room, just moments before she was going to ask the same thing. Harry wanting to talk with her caused some question in her mind, brow arching ever so slightly but nodding none the less before getting up from her seat.

"Yeah, sure…I needed to talk to you too."

Kit was led up to the third year boys dorms, it was completely empty still; thus why this would be the place of talking. Harry seemed awkward and rather unsure, and definitely at that moment didn't remind her of James.

"Um, thank you for the gift…I--"

"Don't worry about it Harry, I figure I'm your Aunt, I have to spoil you…it's in the rule book you know."

"There's a ru--wait…um, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"It's not that important, let's here what you have to say first."

Harry nodded, frowned for a moment, and then his green hues looked towards Kit as he chewed on his bottom lip. "Is it true that my father and Sirius Black were best friends?"

Kit's heart seemed to stop…

Harry Potter knew that Sirius and James were close, he also undoubtedly knew that Sirius was a wanted man, and blamed for his parents death…

The only thing was is that Kit knew she wouldn't be able to lie to him…he had to know the truth…

He just had to.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

AN: A little bit of a cliff hanger there but I need to go and check out the books and Lexicon before I continue. This is where POA starts to change little by little. I mean, come on…I love Sirius, can't have him well…you know.

Not to mention Kit is there, so it's obvious that things won't go as planned in POA, it would be horribly boring if they did anyway.

So, Twin Flames eh? I found out about Twin Flames on my search for Soul-Mate information, and after thinking about it I figured that Twin Flames would fit the situation. And wow, another chapter only an hour after the previous one was posted! Woo, I'm back to my old self. Par-tay!

Well going to run, the blessings of being short…I can throw on a sheet call myself a ghost and go Trick-or-Treating without anyone knowing that I'm an eighteen year old begging for a candy fix! Woo!

Toodles and have a fun and safe holiday yet again!
