Chapter 25:

Memories


Over the next few days Jason, Nicole, and Elizabeth had so much home work, and any of their spare time was taken up by Quidditch practice. Also Draco was still complaining about this 'hurt' arm and it was still in a sling. Nicole had visited him everyday of his stay in the hospital wing, and never left his side after either. All the while Jason and Elizabeth were getting more and more used to being a couple, and Blaize's threats had, at leased for now, only seemed like threats.

Nearing the end of October and on this particular day, which was on a Saturday afternoon the sun was shining through the clouds and down upon the five students sitting under a tree near by the lake. Liz was huddled up with Jason and Lisa was sitting across from them as she worked on some of her home work. Nicole and Draco were sitting a little farther away, also huddled up but looking out over the lake.

"Liz… why aren't you doing your homework – professor Lupin assigned us a project." Lisa was saying as she absent mindedly twirled her quill in her hand.

Liz laughed slightly. "'Cause I have better things to do…?" She said innocently, and then smiled at Jason who started to laugh.

Lisa smiled slightly, noticing her joke but then became serious again. "Look Liz,' She glanced at Jason, 'I know you two are a couple and all but you shouldn't put this stuff off – after all its due soon."

Frowning Jason spoke slowly. "We had the same project assigned… isn't it due in – err – I dunno a week?" Making Liz giggle slightly, till she noticed Lisa's face.

"It still shouldn't be put off…' With that she stood up, 'I'm going to find Harry – Bye!" She waved to Liz and Nicole, but glared at both boys who glared back.

Once she had left both Nicole and Draco came back to were Liz and Jason were sitting together. "You piss her off again?" Draco asked Jason smirking.

Shrugging he replied: "Apparently… don't know what exactly with though…" He frowned.

Liz spoke up to this. "Maybe the fact that you were – err – discreetly making fun of her for doing her homework in advance…?" She looked up at Jason's blue eyes as she said this.

He chuckled slightly. "Well… yes I guess I kinda did, but I wasn't… trying to be mean, only she still found it mean."

Nikki lifted her head a little bit from Draco's shoulder. "What do you think she's so worked up about lately anyways?" She asked.

Shrugging Elizabeth said: "Probably about Hagrid." Then she leaned her head against Jason's shoulder as he put his arm around her.

Nicole scowled. "That oaf? Who cares about him!" She stated rolling her eyes. "Really Lisa's turned into a Potty practically.

Liz frowned. "Not quite, but after all she is dating him… Anyways let's get off the subject of gossip shall we?" Nodding they began to talk of the upcoming Quidditch watch, all bugging Liz for the Gryffindor strategies but she didn't give in even when they decided to give her the silence treatment, which she only laughed at and started to tickle them till they broke out laughing and telling her to stop.

The rest of the day they ran around attacking each other and at one point Nicole even managed to push Elizabeth into the Lake, after which Liz had sworn to get her back one day and using a simple charm dried her own cloths before she froze.

As the four students races across the grounds Draco managed to tackle Nicole, and the two wrestled on the leaf strewn ground for a while, as Jason and Elizabeth stopped to laugh at them.

Finally Draco succeeded in pinning Nicole down, as she struggled feebly and giggled like mad when she was about to curse him he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, at which her giggles stopped and her eyes shot open, as she stopped struggling away from him. Then her eyes fluttered shut and she managed to get out of her shocked state to kiss him back.

Both Liz and Jason had stopped laughing and started to stand their, just looking awkward.

Draco pulled back from Nicole smirking down at her as he let her go. "I won." He stated, making her giggle and blush.

"It would seem so…" She managed, then caught and pushed him. He lost his balance and fell over, giving her time to start to run away once more. "Catch me if you can!" She yelled back at him.

As he stood up, wiping off his robes he called after her. "I believe I already did that!" Then Nicole let out a small yelp and tripped on a small root and tumbled to the ground, although she jumped up rather fast calling back: "I'm okay! No one panic!"

Jason and Liz, now feeling very out of place snuck off back to the lake, knowing that dinner would be soon. "So…" Liz mumbled, not really knowing what to say she began to laugh again. Jason glanced over at her.

"Something funny Zil?" He asked her, eyebrows raised.

She smiled as she lay back in the grass. "No, just thinking…" She replied.

Jason laid down beside her, putting his arm around her and pulling her closer to him. "Of course, it is like you to laugh at nothing…" He stated smiling slightly.

She rapt her arms around him, hugging him. "You know, I could hardly stop thinking of you last year… When I said I 'hated' you" She stated seriously.

He tilted his head to the side so he could look at her. "Same…" He replied. "Only I actually thought you hated me… don't do that again k?" He added.

She shook her head. "Never ever again…" She mumbled, as she rested her head on his shoulder.

She closed her eyes and thought about what would happen to them all, as her thoughts drifted off to being back at the barn and exploring the forest behind her house she felt someone gently shake her shoulder. "Hmmm…" She mumbled as she opened her eyes, just able to make out Jason's through the night sky… She sat bolt upright, almost banging her head into her boyfriends. "Why is it dark?!" She demanded.

Jason shook his head, silver hair falling in curtains over his face. "I don't know – I think… I think we fall to sleep…" He replied looking around himself confusedly.

Liz pulled her wand out quietly saying the spell to light the tip, she turned to Jason. "Shiite! That means we can't get back into the castle, its past curfew, the doors will definitely be locked." She said.

Frowning Jason looked over at her. "Does it seem unusually cold to you?" He asked. She nodded slowly.

"Yeah… Like on the –' but her sentence was cut short by Jason pointing behind her, as he jumping up pulling her with him. She twirled around to see at leased three of the creatures that were on the train gliding towards them.

She felt frozen to the spot but the things kept moving towards them, and all she could think of was when her old dog had died, or any other bad memories when she felt Jason drag her away from them. She snapped out of her daze as the two ran as fast as they could back to the castle hoping against all hopes that it was open. When the slammed into the huge oak doors they found them locked, Jason pushed Liz back against the door behind him shielding her from those things as his own memories of his… or who seemed like his mother… being murdered flashed before him.

One of the demetors stretched out its boney hand to him, as he felt icy cold close in around him he told Liz to run to the game keepers cabin – it was the only place they'd be anywhere near safety.

She shook her head. "What about you?!" She demanded. "I can't leave you."

He pushed her away from him and said: "Tell him what's happened otherwise we'll never get out of this – I'll make sure none of them follow you. Now GO!" He demanded.

Nodding she raced off, the dementors not even noticing all too focused on Jason and for which reason he had no idea. "Why is it that you want me?" He asked them, not expecting an answer.

He heard a low raspy voice fill the air – unsure of weather it was in his head or from the dementors, all it said was.

"Tom Riddle… The Dark Lord…. Tom Riddle…." Jason shook his head, it felt like it could explode as he dropped to his knees and yelled, partly cause of pain and partly out of fear, he yelled: "I'm not him! I'm Jason Frost! I'm not him!"

Jason slowly collapsed to the ground, the last the he saw was one of the creatures pulling back its hood and moving down towards him. He knew no more except when he saw memories… or a vision fly across him mind.

He saw what appeared to be a young Vodemort standing over a young woman holding a baby with silver hair.

When Liz heard the scream from behind her she wanted to turn and run back, but forced herself on knowing it was for the best.
