Author's Note - Hello ALLL. I am deeply inspired by all your reviews and such. Gosh, it's greatt. Thanks to everyone. And I'll add some special thanks at the end. To all who continuously reviewed.
And I never mentioned this, but I'm leaving for Taiwan tomorrow night. So, well, there will be two more DEFINITE updates. I think I'll have internet access there. Which means I should bring my laptop, because all my files are on here. So, I will still be able to update and stuff. But if I do not, then you know why. Seems so sudden now that I put it out there. I'll be gone for about a month. Hmmm. Yeah, if there IS internet, expect an update. But near the beginning of July to about the 19th of July, there won't be updates. Because I'll be definitely busy. Andd the place I'm going will NOT have internet for CERTAIN -____- oh, gosh. I'm going to miss updating and hearing your reviews .

Don't worry though. I GIVE YOU MY WORD THAT I WILL UPDATE WHEN I COME BACK. IT'S A PROMISE. IF I DON'T UPDATE WITHIN A WEEK OF COMING BACK, WELL. YOU CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO (:

So, here comes the next installment!

imadoodlenoodle - You pose very realistic questions, and I'm glad you do. Because it tells me what to work on. I admit, I didn't ever think of those things. I only thought about the situation at hand. So, hmm. I guess the answer would be, I have no idea what would happen if those circumstances arised. Haha , and for me, I would most likely say. Their true love will definitely FEEL something about to happen. But there is also, can't someone have more than one true love ? If one passes, it's possible to love someone else. You pose great questions. And I'm sorry to say, I have no answer. But since, you are the reader, take what you know of the story, and I guess, just let YOUR imagination fly. Do whatever YOU want to do with the bits of information you have obtained.

EveryROSE - Haha, oh, gosh. I feel relieved that you didn't hate it. I'm glad you liked it!

Lulu-fifi - Oh yes, someone definitely has it in for her. But why ? Exactly the question.

On with the story. And I am excited to say, while I am away on my trip. I will have a journal. What is in the journal ? Well, I'm so happy to announce that ... Why don't we read the new chapter first ? (; Update will be at the bottom . Oh, goodness. The suspense. Well, maybe not really. But, NO CHEATING . & I think you know what i mean.

-Draco's POV-

You clasped your hand over your mouth. SHIT!

You quickly looked around for a spare classroom. There was one about 10 feet behind you. You ran to it and closed the door quietly.

As soon as you closed the door, you heard footsteps getting closer. You spotted a desk at the back of the classroom. You hid behind it.

"What was that?" Christina asked, hysterics otherwise forgotten.

"No idea. Come on. Let's go see if Ileana's up yet." Granger suggested.

"Okay then." You heard their footsteps growing fainter and fainter, until you couldn't hear them anymore.

You let about 3 minutes pass to make sure they really left. Hearing no one outside, you open the door and walked out of the room. Almost all the students were outside. Class had ended and because it was such a nice day out, they decided to chill by the lake.

But your thoughts floated back to Ileana.

What happened to her? Why's she in the hospital? Those were the more prominent questions in your mind, racing at high speed.

I've got to go see her!

You ran all the way to the hospital wing. You saw Christina, Hermione, Max, and Camilla pacing outside the doors.

"Where is she?! What's wrong with her?!" You all but roared.

"Calm down, Malfoy." Max said, sounding concerned instead of angry.

But then Hermione gasped. You looked over at her and she was looking at you with sparkly eyes.

You raised an eyebrow. "Granger? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"That must be it. Timeless…romance…potion…true love…kiss…him…" She muttered under her breath. You only caught little snips of what she was saying.

"What's all this rubbish? Timeless? Potion?"

"Ileana. Someone slipped the Timeless Romance Potion into her." Well, you knew half of that already, but you weren't going to tell them.

"What does it do?"

"The Timeless Romance Potion makes the drinker fall into a deep sleep. Only with a true love's kiss on both eyelids will wake her up. And…" She trailed off. Her eyes got teary and shiny.

"What is it? Is there something else?" She looked back, but shook her head. You already knew and you hoped you didn't sound too deadpan.

"If she wakes up, then she only has four hours to live." Harry said, coming up behind you. He was expressionless and blank. Even though you didn't really like Potter, Ileana treated him like a brother. You felt that you had to respect that.

"The question is. Do we want to wake her up or let her sleep…forever?" You had never seen Lefreniere cry, but now it was all going downhill. She walked up to Max and hugged him. He comforted her.

"I'm going to take her back." He put his hand around her waist and they both walked off together. Harry left a few minutes later. He was going to tell Ron about the news, since he had been practicing quidditch like the past two days straight.

I really want her to wake up. But am I really that selfish? Would I wake her up just to see her blush again? But then to lose her forever?

"This is really difficult." You stated out. "And you still haven't told me why you were looking at me like that, Granger."

"Oh. Well, it's obvious how we wake her up. She loves you. So that's easy."

"I don't know about that." You replied, thinking about the times you had left her.

"What? Of course you are."

"I don't know."

"Is this what she was talking about? Ileana was crying the other night and she didn't come down for dinner. What did you do, Draco?" Christina asked you.

"Well, I had to…to…um…break up with…her." This was harder to admit than you though.

"And why would you do that?"

"Because…"

"Draco Malfoy. If you don't tell me why, I will knock your head in with a hammer."

"What's a hammer?" You asked.

"Muggle contraption. It hurts, that's all I'm telling you. And if you don't believe me, well then we can just experiment on you."

"Uh…no thank you."

"Then tell us why."

You were silent for a few seconds. "My father-"

"Oh. Go no further." Christina interrupted. She seemed to understand and you were thankful. But Granger didn't get it.

"Your father? What about him?" She pushed on.

"Let's just say he's really strict." Christina answered for you.

Granger still didn't get it, but she didn't keep pushing for the answers. You guys stood there in silence for a few more minutes.

"So why are we just standing here? Why aren't we going inside?" You asked.

"She won't let us in!" Granger exploded. She obviously wanted to see Ileana…bad.

"Hermione. Please. Calm down." Christina soothed.

"I will NOT be calm!" She was close to hysterics now. Ileana sure has got massive friends who care for her. Too bad she can't see this. But I don't think she would like it though. She hates seeing people cry. Especially if it's over her.

"Ms. Granger! I will not tolerate loudness so close to the hospital wing and its patients!" You turned around and Madame Pomfrey was walking towards you three.

Hermione looked up and saw her. She seemed confused, but then she looked apologetic.

"I see it you are here to see Ms. Lasko?" She eyed all of you.

"Yes." You answered for the group.

Right at that moment the door opened revealing Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.

They both looked tired, yet thoughtful.

"Jaimie. I think we have reached a conclusion." Dumbledore announced. "We should wake her up first and then find a solution within four hours. Hopefully…we will be able to find a cure."

He looked to each and everyone of you. When he got to you, his eyes seemed to look happy or something besides tired and weary.

"Ah, Mr. Malfoy. Just the person. I believe you know what to do?"

"Umm…I have my guesses."

"I'm sure they will be correct." His eyes twinkled. "Good luck."

You walked inside and Dumbledore closed the door to give you privacy. You walked to the end of all the beds where a figure lay. She looked peaceful, as if nothing bad had ever happened to her. You wished to see her eyes again, alive and bright. You wanted to see her blush whenever she saw you. You vowed to never hurt her again. This time, you would start new with her. You wouldn't ever hurt her, no matter what. You won't lose her. You played with a strand of her hair and leaned closer.

You kissed the tops of both eyelids. But you didn't stop there. You trailed kissed all the way down to the corner of her lips, like always. That brought a smile to your lips. You kissed her full on the lips and when you pulled away, a fresh tear fell from your eyes.

You watched with bated breath.

A/N : Here it is. WELLLLL. The journal will be holding the sequel to this story. I've debated it for a while & I have decided that this story needs explanation. You'll understand at the end. Criticism is, it will be a bit fast-paced. So, I've decided to go with it and explain in the sequel. Enjoy the next few updates!
