I do not own, duh, and sorry if I misspell any Harry potter stuff, pretend it's ok!

It felt like it took forever, nothing interesting so I won't be a slytherin and make you suffer too. Sadly, we got there with no problems, which surprised me, and made me just a bit more careful. So, when I was walking right next to robin I was protecting him, not the other way around, and totally not scared. (I couldn't tell him that though, his manly ego or whatever.)

So, we got there and I was zoning out again and freezing my arse off, so no, I can really tell you how beautiful it was, all I can say is I was frigging freezing and seriously pissed. Oh whoops, siriusly. (potterhead thing) it was redikkulusly cold! Ok, I'll quit. For now.

"Ryan!" robin whispered.

My head shot up and I saw a huge crowd and I scooted closer to robin who seemed just fine with it and finally we were in front of the queen. Looking to Meghan, hopping she would understand my confusion I did as she did. At least I was here with someone, if I had been on my own I would have just stood there kinda like, 'what am I supposed to do?!'

The queen was beautiful. Even the blind could see that. Long black hair pale skin and it might have looked bad for most, but she was just, wow. Why couldn't I look like that?

"everyone but these four, leave." and they did.

"is this the human Ash?" queen mab asked.

Oh, of course she won't just ask me who I am, 'stop talking to yourself in your head Ryan! You're gonna-' robin nudged me and I looked at the queen. '-miss something.'

"I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time focusing, it's just so beautiful here, almost as beautiful as you." good Ryan, compliment, hopefully doesn't think you like girls. (authors note! Nothing against anyone! It's just not me, hope you understand!)

The queen raised an eyebrow and I tried my hardest to look sincere, sweet, and innocent. It was a challenge, but I did it. I hope.

"I do not like to repeat myself, make sure I will not have to."

"yes ma'am." I said hoping it was ok and i wouldn't be frozen in ice or something.

"good. What is your name?"

"Ryan ma'am, Ryan smith." I said, trying to make sure you couldn't hear my obvious chattering from the cold.

"Ryan, do you know why you are here?"

"no ma'am." the less said the less possibility I get frozen.

"I have a little job for you." she said.

'oh really? I had no idea! I thought I was just popping in and having tea then leaving.' I thought but out loud I said,

"if I may ask, what is this job?" trying to sound polite and interested. The second wasn't difficult, I really wanted to know!

"you three, leave us. She will be fine as long as she doesn't anger me." joy. Alone with the ice queen. Wait, IM ALONE WITH THE ICE QUEEN! Oh so not good!

"your job is to get ash away from the summer kings daughter. I hope that won't be to hard, slytherins are supposed to me evil and cunning and such." slytherin? The fuck? How she, whatever.

"I will try my hardest, I was watching them on the way here and it will take a lot, possibly more than I have." I said, trying not to promise anything.

"you must promise you will." she said.

"I, Max Ryan Smith will get ash to leave Meghan. Good enough?" I asked knowing there was no way it was.

"no. You could mean leave as in he could come back." joy, she saw.

"fine, I swear that if I can I will make Meghan fall in love with someone else or ash with someone else or whatever I need to do so they won't be together as a couple." tada! Nope, she probably-

"good enough. If you can not, you will die." oh crap.

"you may go, but you can't tell anyone." I nodded letting the shivering show just how cold I was and I was sure I was blue by now.

As I walked out I saw robin by the doors. He looked at me like, 'dude, what have you gotten yourself into?'

"you know?" I whispered.

"there is no way you can get them apart." he whispered back as we started walking.

" I'll try though, I'd rather not die." I said seeing as I figured we were far from most but I still kept it quiet and was close to him.

"I'll try to protect you if I can." he whispered in my ear.

Dear lord, this boy will just be the death of me. Or, possibly screw up my plans of not falling in love, see, my friends have fallen in love and they just end up hurt, so I decided I wouldn't.

"than-" I stopped and thought and he watched me. "hmm, is it ok if I say I'm grateful?" I asked. He nodded.

"better than meghan I have a feeling she was telling everyone the before." he said.

I rolled my eyes. "obviously she doesn't or at least didn't read much, or not the right books."

"which books are the right books?"

I thought for a second, crud, fiction or nonfiction, always getting those mixed up.

"fiction, of course, the ones most think aren't real." I said hoping I was right.

"you think they're real?" he asked, looking at me with a questioning face.

"obviously some parts of most my books are right and if there is a river of dreams what if living things could come from there? Tada, there's your witches and wizards and such. So, if the author dreamed about them or other people did then they're real if they can come from the river." I said.

"you are something special Ryan." he said with a grin.

"I know!" I said all happy and girly.

We walked for a while and eventually we got to a door, robin knocked.

"Meghan?" I asked and he nodded.

"Meghan!" I whined. " I'm cold and tired and open the damn door!" robin just smiled and shook his head finally the door opened and there was ash.

"oh, hey." I said acting a little shy and bit my bottom lip after giving him a small smile.

"so Meghan, what were ya doin that ya couldn't open the door when we knocked?" I asked, noticing her messed up had and her fixing her clothes. All she did was blush and roll her eyes. "is there a certain area I might not want to be near? Or lay on? Say, the bed?" again she jus rolled her eyes hiding her face and robin grinned.

"so, what's going on?" I asked.

"were going to stay here for a little rest and then we are going." ash said and I turned to him.

"where are we going?" I asked.

" I would have thought the queen would have told you."

"she might have but I wasn't listening, I just made sure I said what she wanted without making a promise." I said, hoping it was enough. This time Meghan answered.

"the river of dreams."

"aww, why? Isn't there the flipping nightmare bit?"I asked obviously whining a little.

"really Ryan, do you have to whine?" robin said a bit teasing.

"why yes, yes I do." I said and he just answered with an eye roll.

"get some sleep, you are sharing with Meghan. It would suck if you got dragged off or something while you're asleep." I nodded and yawned.

After the guys left I asked Meghan. "so, why're we going to the river?"

"Ryan, go to sleep, you'll find out eventually."

I sighed and rolled over and in seconds I was asleep.

Well, so far this is my story. School is starting this month so when school starts my updates will be all over theplace maybe once a month maybe twice, idk. Starting eighth grade, (which I shoulda done last year, had to redo seventh.) so idk how bad it's gonna be.
