CHAPTER 7: COLLISION OF CONSTELLATIONS
"Kris," Lily whispered, shaking Kristanna softly. It was a relief that only few persons saw this; Kristanna was shaking rapidly, holding the knife to Auriga's direction.
"What happened?" Kristanna asked, placing the knife down.
"You're daydreaming," Lily said. "And Auriga was sorted to Slytherin," she added, shifting her head to the now cheering table.
Kristanna looked at the place of the Marauders and Sirius smiled at her. Instead of smiling back, she raised an eyebrow. Dinner ahs already ended and many students went outside the hall. "Let's go, Lils, Dani," she offered her friends, standing up. Kristanna smiled as she saw Sirius standing up.
As fast as lightning, there was a yelp of pain coming from Sirius. He clutched to his bottom and complained how painful it was. "Who did that?" he asked in anger.
Kristanna did nothing but to smirk. "Join Auriga in heaven, Sirius," she said in a dark voice as she neared herself to Sirius. Sirius widened his eyes as Kristanna pointed her wand to the same knife that hit him on the bottom.
Also, they saw Auriga do an earsplitting shriek. However, Kristanna was better; she made the knife disappear as she dragged her two friends out of the hall.

"Are you sure about this, Eros?" Aphrodite asked with doubt.
"Mother, Mother. If you keep on talking like that, I'll leave the matchmaking to Erida permanently," Eros said, pacing back and forth.
"No!" Aphrodite replied. "But I think we have to consult Apollo in this matter," she suggested.
"I won't go to Delphi," Iris insisted.
"You
don't have to, you lack-wit," Eros replied. "Just call him
here. I think it's his free time. No advices and opinions on
earth."
"I haven't been there," Iris admitted.
"Northern tower of Olympus, third door from the great window," Eros directed. "Off you go," he said.
Iris left, ROYGBIV trailing behind her. "What are you planning?" Aphrodite asked.
"If we are able to pair-up James Potter with the right girl, we will get all the pair-ups you gave to Erida," Eros explained. "Hermes told me that she is a bet-addict."
"What's up?" Apollo asked, entering the room with his dramatic lyre background music. Behind him was Artemis, who was not in the mood for a hunt.
"Obviously, dear brother, they are going to ask you a question," Artemis said, polishing her arrows with a silver cloth.
Apollo frowned. "It was my breaktime in Delphi. I should have said that it was also my breaktime here," he reasoned out. "What is it?"
Eros explained his plan, the cause, the supposed effects, everything, to Apollo. The god of truth merely nodded and closed his eyes, deep in thought.
"Call Father," he said in a lazy voice.
"What do you mean we should call him?" Aphrodite said indignantly. "No way! They're gonna laugh because of this!"
"Then we'll have to leave the job to the goddess of discord," Apollo said in a singsong voice.
Everybody agreed and they all went to Zeus' room.
"Children, children, what is the mayhem? And why are you looking sad, my golden goddess (well, Zeus always want Aphrodite to be happy, as depicted in the Trojan war)?" he asked.
"Well, here it is," Eros said. "My mother got drunk because of Erida and she vowed by the Styx to give her matchmaking projects to her, and the rest is history."
Zeus tutted. "Apollo, you should decide with this now," he said. "We can't risk love…" he stared at Hera, who gave him her laser look that could go through steel, "… gone here," he continued with a gulp.
"Call Erida," Apollo told Iris. Iris rolled her eyes. "Ok, Hermes, please look for Erida," he requested.
"Why me?"
Zeus raised an eyebrow and the winged messenger quickly flew away. Erida returned on her black horse.
"Let's have a bet," Eros dared, rolling up his sleeves (err… does he have sleeves?). "If I am able to get my last matchmaking project fine, you'll give my other pair-ups back."
"What is this?" Erida said, her eyebrows touching each other.
"By the river Styx," Eros said, smirking.
"I want to be a little considerate, Eros," Erida started.
Zeus looked darkly at her. "Erida?"
Erida's eyes showed fear. It disappeared after closing and opening her eyes and she said, "By the river Styx. Deal," she said, smiling. "You're just using Zeus as a shield," she muttered under her breath.
"I'll make sure that I'll get those records back," Eros said bravely in front of Erida.
"Oh yeah? You'll kiss my feet if you fail," Erida said, smirking.

"Raven? It's Hogsmeade weekend on Saturday!" Lily said excitedly.
"Oh really?" the voice replied immediately. "That's good news. Never expected it this week."
"So, same time, same place?" Lily asked.
"Of course, Green Apple," Raven replied. "Well, here's what we have to do so that we'll meet. You'll go there maybe five minutes earlier than me. Bring a green apple and bring this radio-thingy, okay?" he cleared out.
"I'll
bring a green apple and this thing," Lily repeated. "Got
it!"
"Goodnight, Green Apple," Raven said.
"Goodnight, Raven," Lily said, smiling. "I hope we'll meet soon."

"Kris, I know you're in the state of depression right now but don't go running crazily like that," Danicia explained, following Kristanna towards Auriga.
"You don't know what I feel," Kristanna said breathlessly, stopping for a moment to face Danicia. "I want to die! I want to let them see it!"
"Don't die!" Danicia said in her most overreacting way.
"You're always telling me something like that," Lily interrupted, jumping from a tree like a cat.
"You always shock me, Lily Evans," Kristanna said, finally stopping to laugh a little.
"So, you're stopping that scandal you'll cause?"
"No," Kristanna said, speeding up her pace towards the person she liked to kill.
She continued walking towards the direction of the army, Lily and Danicia attempting to drag her back.
"You are the most despicable person I've ever met!" Kristanna shouted, slapping that person wildly.
"Stop it! Stop it!" the person replied.
