BLACK WATER

CHAPTER 1

=CHAPTER 1=

CASSIOPEIA POV:

I was inhaling a last minute meal while relaxing in front of the fireplace when it suddenly flared into life. Jumping back in surprise, I quickly whipped out my wand ready to attack if needed.

A very familiar blonde came out, looking bedraggled and exhausted.

"Luna?' I questioned, taking in her sudden appearance.

I frowned, wand still pointed at her, "When I was in 5th year what did you tell me when we walked together near the Forbidden Forest?"

She gave me a tired smile, "I told you..." She paused and let an amused look take over her face, "Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am."

That's my Luna alright. "Luna, what happened to you? Are you getting bullied again? Who do I have to beat up?" I fussed pulling her to the seat I had just occupied.

She shook her head, "...no that's not it.." then she looked up at me with the saddest eyes that had my heart clenching in heartache.

"You're leaving...aren't you?" she sniffed. Oh Luna...

I wish I could take her with me, after the death of her father it left Luna in shambles looking for companionship and to be loved—to be cherished.

And Luna deserved it, she was my little sister.

That's it! I've decided, I'm taking her with me no matter what it takes. There's nothing like a determined woman.

With that resolve, I readied my mouth to shout for Fate but it seemed she was already two steps ahead of me when a few luggages appeared next to mine.

Luna looked at the luggage in mild surprise, "that's my stuff...how did it get here?" she asked in confusion.

I held her hand in mine, "Hey Luna?" She looked up at me, "Yeah Cassie?"

I gave her a mischievous grin, "What do you say to joining me on my next new adventure?"

She tilted her head in thought, "Can I?" She squealed excitedly when I nodded my head.

I smiled, seeing the younger teen excited and suddenly full of life was what I thrived on and I loved it honestly.

***

When our 30 minute time limit ended, a tall ethereal woman with blinding white hair and shocking violet eyes stared at us quietly before smiling.

"My prediction laid true, seeing as your lovely moon sister has joined your adventure," she giggled a bit before continuing, "Before I send you two on your merry way and well deserved vacation. I must tell you of your identities."

She turned to me first, taking in my appearance as her eyes roamed over my figure. I didn't know how to feel about that.

"Cassiopeia—" she clapped her hands excitedly, I gave her my undivided attention. "Yes?" I questioned.

Her violet eyes glowed, "Your new name will be 'Lady...actually no no that's too easy. This needs to be an adventure!....yes...yes...that's it! I got it!"

Luna and I stared at the rambling deity, wondering if we should run while we still can after hearing the deities rambling and murmurs.

She turned to us, eyes glowing in mischief. "Age up or age down?' she suddenly asked.

Luna shared a look at me, what were we supposed to say? I was fine with either to be honest. "You can decide Luna, I don't mind either option."

Luna pondered for a bit, "Age....down?" she glanced at me unsure but I reassured her that I was fine with it.

Fate clapped her hands excitedly, "Oh goodie! Everyone always chooses to age up and for that I'll give you two an extra reward."

"Uhh thanks?" Fate was an.... Interesting person.

Okay her excessive giggling was starting to creep me out, Luna on the other hand was immune to it and if anything looked amused at the deity.

"Blonde or Ravenette?"

"Ravenette?" "Blonde."

"Blue or Green?"

"Green." "Green."

This went on for a few minutes before I snapped, "Alright Fate enough with the questions! Can we please get on with our adventure?" I pleaded.

"Yes, can you please hurry?" Luna piped in adding her two cents.

She gave us a fond smile as if we were impatient children. I gritted my teeth.

"Alright. Alright. No need to get your panties in a twist." she teases us playfully.

"Cassiopeia and Luna, I must warn you at least once; not everything is the same as you lived here in this world. I am sending you guys to one of the many parallel worlds connected to this one."

"Friends can become foes and foes can be friends. Keep an open mind okay?"

She gave us a sad smile. "I hope you will be happy with your new lives, enjoy it."

Wait?! She didn't tell us who we would be! "Wait—?!"

Before either of us could react we gleamed in a silver light and then I blacked out.

THIRD POV:

On July 31, 1928. Two beautiful baby girls were born to the surprise of their parents who were expecting only one child, but shrugged off the surprise. Too enraptured by their beauty.

Fate smirked. "Eternal beauty" was the extra gift, she cackled ignoring the looks her siblings were sending her way.

***

Lucien Lestrange stared at the two babies in their cot with barely hidden awe, and turned to his father. "Two babies?" he questioned.

His father Cepheus Lestrange and his mother Gabrielle Lestrange simply gave him amused looks.

"What are their names?" He asked looking down at the babies.

His parents shared a look above him, "Cassiopeia Lucelia and Luna Cordelia Lestrange; the two newest members of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Lestrange." His father announced proudly.

Then the two babies shifted in their sleep and Lucien awed at the baby blue eyes that most babies had. They gave him identical baby grins, it was there and then 4 year old Lucien Lestrange promised to be the best big brother ever much to the amusement of his parents.

Together the three Lestrange children were the light, star, and moon.

A/N: Having one child was a blessing.

Having twins was rare.

But having magical twins was even rarer.

*Also the reason Fate had Cassiopeia and Luna pack their bags was to distract them for the time being as she pulled and weaved the strings of fate for them.
