******Chapter 12: Hesitate the Issues******
"Please, Ron. You take competition too seriously." Hermione rolled her eyes as Ron refused to make another move.
"Dumbledore?" Harry asked as Dumbledore popped into view.
"Dear Ron." Dumbledore said softly. "I do believe I got this letter from your mother and father." He handed it to Ron and Ron read it. His eyes started turning red and tears fell from them. Dumbledore looked down.
"Do you mean?" Ron asked, looking up. Dumbledore nodded weakly. Ron started crying more and Dumbledore, unusually, hugged Ron.
"What is it?" Hermione asked. Ron clutched the letter tightly so nobody else could take it.
"Where's Ginny?" Ron muttered and went off, wiping his eyes. Harry and Hermione starred at Dumbledore until he finally spoke up.
"Most recently, somebody has passed away in the Weasley family." Dumbledore said.
"Oh no! Who?" Hermione gasped.
"Charlie Weasley." Dumbledore replied.
"Charlie?? But.... how??" Harry asked.
"A little incident at work occurred." Dumbledore replied. Harry and Hermione didn't say another word and looked down. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way." Dumbledore popped and went back to his office.
"What do we do?" Hermione asked.
******The Library******
"Uh...where am I?" Seamus asked.
"Oh, we just transported you into the library." Tala replied.
"OK. I'm going to sit down." Seamus said and fainted.
"I guess the spell was a little too strong." Tala said. Buffy ran towards him and picked him up, putting him on a chair.
"Wake up!" Buffy yelled, smacking his face lightly.
"Easy peesy lemon squeezy." Seamus muttered.
"What?" Buffy looked over at Tala. She just looked up, avoiding Buffy's glare. "Well, look. We know you like Dawn. So out with it. Kiss her."
"What?" Seamus shot up.
"Save it. We know you like her." Spike replied.
"How do you know?" Seamus asked.
"A little spell." Tara replied.
"Professor Harris? Summers? Anyanca? Spike?" Seamus went on.
"Ya, ya. We're all in on it." Anya replied.
"....Why do you need me though?" Seamus asked over a moment of silence.
"Incase you haven't noticed, Dawn is evil from a backfired spell she did." Giles answered. "And she needs someone to kiss her to make her... not evil."
"Yea, I remember that." Seamus scratched his head. "I was there, maybe yesterday. I was walking down the hall, minding my own business, when I saw Harry and Malfoy at each others throats in spells. I was curious and looked over the corner. Until I saw a big flash and I think I was knocked out by it. Then when I woke up, I was back in bed."
"Hm. Interesting." Giles scratched his chin. "What could have brought you back to your room?"
"No time for wondering, Giles. We have to get Dawn back to normal." Buffy said anxiously. Just then, Dean ran in.
"Dawn's nuts!" He yelled a little too loudly. Then he noticed all of the professors starring at him. "OK... I was hoping for maybe just one or two professors, but this is good."
"Dean, we are quite aware of Dawn's behavior. Thank you very much." Giles replied.
"Then why don't you do anything? She's pointing her wand at every Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor coming her way! I was lucky to get away from a meir head injury!" Then Dean noticed Seamus sitting down at a table. "Seamus! What happened to you? You look like you haven't slept in weeks!" He was right. Seamus had big, blue bags under his eyes.
"Uh, yea." Was all Seamus could say.
"Dean, mind?" Buffy asked.
"What?" Dean asked. Everybody gave him a look. "Oh, right. See you later then." Her ran out of the library door and closed it shut.
"Now where were we?" Oz asked.
"Seamus. For everyone's sake. For Dawn's sake. We need you to kiss her on the lips for the evilness to stop." Willow pleaded.
"You guys make it seem like it's a bad thing to kiss her." Seamus muttered.
"That's it. Nobody's taking charge. You're coming with me, Seamus." Spike got up and grabbed Seamus' arm, pulling him out of the door. Buffy, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow, Giles, and Tala followed.
******You Know... Around******
"Get away!" Lavender shrieked. "I'm telling Professor McGonagal!"
"Good luck." Dawn laughed, ripping Lavender's robe's sleeve with a spell.
"Ooh! I'm so going to get you a detention, Dawn!" Lavender yelled. Malfoy, surprisingly, hasn't kissed Dawn yet. And another surprise is that no other professor except Buffy and the others have noticed this behavior. Who knows what's stopping the victims from telling on Malfoy and Dawn. Dawn finally let Lavender go, cackling evilly.
"I am so telling on you!" Lavender yelled and ran off. Malfoy grabbed her arm roughly and pulled his face to her ear, whispering something. Her face turned from irritated to terrified, and she backed away. Mouth wide open. "OK." She said in a dry, weary voice and ran away. Dawn didn't notice, she was too busy wiping off her wand.
"Where now, lovely?" Malfoy asked. He was nicest to Dawn. It was sort of odd too, in his case and personality.
"I don't know. Maybe the library. Trash some books." Dawn replied absent mindedly, admiring her new gothic choker and silver necklace Malfoy had given her. Also her black lipstick and eye shadow. They strode off, insulting everybody they saw.
Just a little far away from where they stand.
"It was very nice of Dean to tip us off on wear Dawn and Malfoy are." Tara said.
"Yea. After Spike strangled him and threatened to tear off Dean's face and wipe his ass with it." Xander smiled sarcastically. Spike clutched Seamus' arm tightly, the cold look on his face would make you shudder with pain. They got to the intersection of hall ways where Dean said Dawn and Malfoy would be.
"That rotten-no good-pig breath-dirty-lying-bloody poof!" Spike swore. Dawn and Malfoy weren't there.
"Well it is possible that they could have moved." Anya reminded.
Back at the library.
"So.... what are we doing here.... again?" Oz asked Lupin.
"I'm checking something out about that spell Dawn did." Lupin replied, looking up and down the shelves.
"What's left to be said?" Oz asked, starting to look too.
"I just want to make sure that there is no default after the kiss."
"Come again?"
"That Dawn won't end up worse than she did at the beginning of when she did the spell."
"Oh. What makes you think there'll be a backfire again?"
"The power of the recovery. The kiss to break the spell. The chance Seamus may never love Dawn again. That's messing with a lot of feelings and emotions right there. It's a dirty risk that it may be a bit too strong for Dawn to handle."
"So she might die from trying to recover? That's a bit odd. She's trying to recover and she's also dying at the same time."
"No. More like she'll take longer to recover and it'll hurt more. Aha!" Lupin pulled out a thick, dusty, old book from the shelf and blew on it, blowing away dust particles and cobwebs. It showed in big, bold letters: Reversal of the Dark Arts.
"Xander and Spike could really use this." Oz said.
"Yea. But they wouldn't be smart enough to find it." Lupin smiled, opening the book. The book screamed and hollered, shaking in his hands. He closed it sharply. "Almost forgot. We're in the forbidden section."
"Almost forgot?" Oz asked, pointing up to a sign that clearly stated that no students should be in the section and that the books can scream.
"Well... almost. Anyways, we have it now. Let's not lose it." Lupin tapped his wand on the book and opened it again. This time it didn't scream. He looked at the table of contents, trying to find the spell he was looking for. He found it right away and turned to the brittle page, reading intensively. "Just as I thought. It's all right here." Just then, they heard a creak of the door open and close, but ignored it. "But it says it would be better to have her recover with the kiss from Seamus. It won't make her die, but just a bit of a shock at first. Better to have her trying to recover than other students trying to recover, am I right?"
"Supposedly." Oz shrugged.
"So this is a little warning that she might faint. Good. Let's go tell the others so they won't freak on us." Oz started mumbling to himself the lyrics to 'Freak on a Leash', by KoRn. "What are you mumbleing about?"
"Nothing." They left the library and went to find Buffy and the others, leaving Dawn and Malfoy to glare. They had come in before. Right up to the part about Seamus having to kiss Dawn.
"Seamus? Kiss him? Hell no!" Dawn swore, crinkling up her nose. They were sitting behind a book shelf.
"Wouldn't you rather have somebody more alluring kiss you?" Malfoy asked.
"Anyday." Dawn replied.
"And wouldn't you rather have it being worth your while?"
"Duh." Malfoy smiled and leaned in to Dawn, wrapping his lips around hers, slipping his cool tongue into her warm mouth. She smiled and returned the kiss as he leaned more into her. It wasn't until after a few moments later that there was a white flash, seperating Dawn and Malfoy. Making them both unconsious.
******Gryffindor Common Room******
"Look, maybe we should check up with Professor Summers. See if she has any news about Dawn." Hermione suggested and got up. "And nowadays, everybody knows where to find her."
"Yea, maybe you're right." Harry had a weak voice. Not full of confidence. Not full of faith. "It just scares me is all. Charlie. Gone. For good. Remember back at Ron's before 5th year? Charlie and Bill. Having a good time with everybody. Not caring what lies ahead of them. Just having their annual table fight in the air."
"I guess the only way to go now is up." Hermione sighed.
"Don't tell that to Ron. He'll only remember about how bad his life is already. About his passed down dress robes. About every time somebody mentions my past."
"Harry, we have to look on the bright side."
"What bright side, Hermione? Is there even one for Ron? Will he remain unhappy his entire life?"
"No, he won't! Don't think such things about Ron! He will get better. And nobody should mention it anymore."
"Well at least I'm brave enough to admit that my best friend's life is terrible!"
"Well at least I don't think my best friend is terrible!"
"I don't think that! He just doesn't have a good home life. I mean, his family is nice and all, but where does he go with a career? Of course he's smart though! But, I'm saying he's poor, Hermione. How's his family going to afford a decent funeral?? But on the other hand, my life is just as worse! The Dursleys wouldn't give a fuck in the world if I got blown up by Voldemort this very moment! And who's to say I've got pocket money? And to top it all off, the girl I truly love is blowing off heads to other students!"
"Harry. You know what's even worse? To know that the boy I love is suffering from pain inside! That his emotions won't rip away once he sees his brother lying motionless in a coffin! That everything right now is going wrong. And maybe 'I'm' the only one brave enough to admit that there maybe is a little hope for Ron." Hermione stormed out of the common room; out of the portrait, leaving Harry to soak up the energy Hermione had just caused. Until he gave up and followed.
******The Library******
Hermione stomped through the library doors and stopped, looking around furiously. Then she stopped crinkling up her forehead and her face turned concerned. Nobody was in there. "Professors? Anybody?" She called out. Nobody answered. Harry rushed in just then.
"Hermione-" Hermione hushed him and looked around. She honestly couldn't handle the fact that nobody was in there. Not even Willow. She looked in between every gap between each shelf. Then finally, in the back of the room, she found Dawn and Malfoy, opposite sides from each other. Laying motionless.
"Harry!" She yelled and knelt down next to them. Then she realized what had happened. A big smile crossed over her face. But Harry wasn't smiling at all. He had seen the scene quickly, but then returned to the book, Reversal of the Dark Arts that he had found on the table. "What's wrong, Harry? Isn't it great! Dawn will be better now!"
"No. She won't. It says it'll take her longer and much more painful to recover from the kiss. And it also says at the bottom that there may be a very possible chance that Malfoy will still love her after this."
"What?? Let me see! If my reading is clear, I think that Malfoy will definitely not be in love with her still."
"No, Hermione. It says that if the kiss that breaks Dawn's spell belongs to an evil pair as well, there is a possible chance that he will love her still. Meaning if he is as evil as she was, that there will be no affect against his heart."
"What?? Impossible."
"Very possible."
"So it could have been better if she kissed her cat on the lips?"
"I don't know. You're the brainiack here. It's one hell of a confusing backfire."
"Yea. I guess that's like a lesson in life. Make sure you're doing you're curse accurate, or you'll seriously face the consequences."
"Guess so." The door slammed open just then.
"I'm going to kill your little friend." Spike threatened to Seamus.
"Please don't hurt me sir." Seamus choked. Spike had his hand tightly around Seamus' throat.
"Spike." Buffy said coldly.
"Well as long as you told us, Oz and Remess. We would have been freaking seriously by now... if Dawn was there." Tara thanked.
"Where do we look now?" Tala asked.
"Here." Hermione replied weakly. Everybody looked up from what they were doing. Hermione had walked away from Dawn and Malfoy with Harry.
"Come again?" Anya asked.
"They're over there. Malfoy must have kissed Dawn." Harry replied, just as sad. Everybody else looked at each other for a moment, then trampled on over to the scene of Dawn and Malfoy. Xander even had to jump over a chair to get through the anxious crowd. Everybody turned excited.
"Don't get your hopes so high, here." Hermione said, handing Willow the book. Willow's face changed from happy to worried, looking up.
"Does anybody like Draco?" She asked weakly.
"Why would we?" Giles asked.
"Heh heh. Well...." Willow started, but was interrupted by a loud groan.
"Uhhhhh.... oh, hi everybody? What are you all doing in the corridor?" Dawn asked, eyes heavy.
"The corridor?" Anya asked.
"That's where it all occurred." Harry muttered. "Um... she forgot everything." Everybody turned from Dawn to Harry. Back to Dawn again. What to do.... what to do....
******To be Continued******
Next chapter of Hogwarts and The Scoobies: What will Ron and Ginny do with the loss? What will Anya say to everybody about her soon-to-be? Where will Lupin and Tara go from there? What will Spike do to Malfoy? It's all in the next chapter. Excited? You better be. And if you're not, screw you. And if you don't appreciate what I just said, then sorry. But I'm no wuss, so I take it back. But then again, I'm nice at heart, so I retake it back. But I don't like softies, so I double-retake it back. But this whole thing is a mess if you think about it, so you're all scewed. Confused? You bet I am! I mean, you are! E-mail me and you may be the lucky one to get free scenes from the next chapter and inside scoops on what's going to happen through out the stroy.
author's note: I didn't want to write this in front of my sisters friend, so I waited until today because she kept reading over my shoulder and reading it outloud. So sorry. Thanks if you actually read this far into my story, bye! And if you ever have any suggestions, suggest away! But no critism please. By that I mean don't be all like, 'Oh, you have spelling mistakes!' and 'Oh, your characters don't have the right personality!' and 'Oh, I can so write better than you, so nah!' and you get the picture. Suggestions like, you know, what to write next in my story because I can kind of recognize my own mistakes when I review my own chapter, thank you very much. R&R! Thanks! Bye!

But I'm no wuss, so I take it back. But then again, I'm nice at heart, so I retake it back. But I don't like softies, so I double-retake it back. But this whole thing is a mess if you think about it, so you're all scewed. Confused? You bet I am! I mean, you are! E-mail me and you may be the lucky one to get free scenes from the next chapter and inside scoops on what's going to happen through out the stroy.
author's note: I didn't want to write this in front of my sisters friend, so I waited until today because she kept reading over my shoulder and reading it outloud. So sorry. Thanks if you actually read this far into my story, bye! And if you ever have any suggestions, suggest away! But no critism please. By that I mean don't be all like, 'Oh, you have spelling mistakes!' and 'Oh, your characters don't have the right personality!' and 'Oh, I can so write better than you, so nah!' and you get the picture. Suggestions like, you know, what to write next in my story because I can kind of recognize my own mistakes when I review my own chapter, thank you very much. R&R! Thanks! Bye!
