Alrighty on to the story!!!!(Oh and if Hermione seems OOC I'm going to chalk it up to her being in a Dreamworld!) "
Beta'd as always by my lovely Aunt TalaDentro!!!!
I fainted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn't really faint. I just stumbled back and fell. Harry was at my side in a moment to help me up and into a chair I hadn't noticed before. It resembled that of the Elders' and sat by the door. I took a few deep breaths before speaking. "What do you mean I "You have been faced with a serious decision. One that will dictate how your life unfolds. The future is always changing, fueled by the decisions we make. Now the future has paused for you to make your choice. At least it has in your mind. You've created and come to this world to find where your heart truly lies." He said, his hand resting on mine. He looked into my eyes and saw the disbelief in them. "Why do you think you find this world to be so perfect? Why it reminds you of places that make you happy? This is "How?" I asked him. "How is this little village supposed to help me choose between Draco and Ron?" He stood and I lifted my head to watch what he was doing. The Elder walked back to the others and touched one, a woman with platinum blonde hair and green eyes, on the shoulder. She stood and walked over to Harry, whispering in his ear. What she said made him frown slightly, but he nodded in agreement when she separated from him. He turned to me and bowed. "It was nice to meet you, Miss. But it seems I must get back to work. Good day." he left then, a smile back on his face. The woman now stood in front of me, no emotions on her face. Her features were strikingly familiar, but I couldn't place her and I knew it would drive me crazy until I knew who she was. "Please come with me." Was all she said. I stood and followed her out the door and into the street. The woman led me past multiple shops and people; none so much as glanced in our direction. This raised my spirits. At least my presence went unnoticed; I would have hated being stared at. The Elder kept walking at a brisk pace. She led me past every shop on the street and the house that surrounded the village. Once we reached the outskirts of the town, she stopped walking, turning around to look at me and once again the feeling that I knew her hit me. "Who are you?" I asked. "That doesn't matter right now. What matters is that you learn how to use this world to make your decision." She said. Her voice was beautiful yet cold. She was all business. "How do I that? Is something going to happen? Are you going to make me meditate so that it comes to me in a vision? Are ninjas going to attack them so that in a split second I have to decide which one to save?" I knew I sounded completely insane but I was so confused and flustered I was starting not to care. Before she answered my ridiculous questions, she led me to a bench. We sat and I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. "Ninjas? Really? That one is new. But in all seriousness, I'm not really sure what's going to happen. This is your world. It all comes down to what matters most to you when you're with someone. Whether it be that they are daring in battle or just good for being there for you when you need them." The Elder said with a smile. "But that's the thing. I like both of those qualities. I want intelligence and bravery. I want someone to listen to me and be able to trust me. I want someone to laugh with. Someone who can hold my hand when I'm scared. But Ron and Draco both have half of those qualities. Together they'd be the perfect man." I said with a small smile. "Maybe that's why you came here. Maybe one of them is your perfect man and you've only been able to see one side of them. Maybe you're here to find the other side." She turned to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "I think the best thing for you would be to take a break. Get your mind off of things." She stood up and held out her hand. "There is a masquerade ball tonight. I think it would be the perfect way for you to relax and have some fun. Let's go get you ready." I thought about it for a moment. Mum always did say that the best time to think was when you were calm. So that you knew your decisions were well-thought. I decided to take my chances and took the Elder's hand with a smile. "Just so I know, what is your name?" I asked as she led me back to the village shops. "Just call me Cissy." She replied.
