Hey, everyone! Summer is definitely here! I'd like to thank the few people who have reviewed.

So, THANKS!

Well, I'll go on with the story now………………………….

***************************************************************************************

School went smoothly for Deirdre and her friends. Sammy and Edward hadn't argued about anything at all, Zandra was doing good in all her classes, and Deirdre had not been in any trouble whatsoever. February came…………..and Valentine's day soon approached. And Zandra had plans.

"So Valentine's day is coming." Zandra told Sammy.

"Yeah."

"So, Sammy do ya like anyone yet?" Zandra asked.

Sammy wrinkled his nose. "Nope," he said.

"So you're not sending someone a valentine, huh?"

"I'll give you and Deirdre one."

"Aw, thanks Sammy."

"How about you? Are you giving Edward anything?"

Zandra smiled mischievously. "Am I?" she asked herself.

Sammy groaned. "Just don't do anything stupid, Zandra."

"Stupid? Like WHAT?"

"I don't know……………"

Zandra laughed. "Sammy, don't worry. I won't do anything stupid."

Deirdre sat in the Hydra common room by herself reading a book, when Edward came and joined her.

"Hey," he said smiling.

"Hey," Deirdre answered. She peered at him and asked, "What brings you here today?"

Edward saw right through her suspicions. "Don't worry, I'm here with you because I want to be. Not because I have nothing else to do."

Deirdre smiled.

"What are you reading?" Edward asked.

"I'm reading a book about alchemy."

"Alchemy?" Edward asked, "Don't tell me you're researching about the sorcerers stone?"

"Why are have you?"
"Hell yes."

Deirdre stared at Edward. "You're not serious?"

"I am always serious, Deirdre. About everything."

"So, why have you been researching it?"

"I am thinking of making one, " Edward said simply.

Deirdre laughed hysterically. "Edward! Do you honestly think you can accomplish that?"
"With your help."

"My……………………help?"

"Yes, Deirdre. You and Sammy. Possibly Zandra too."

"Uh……………..well, why would you want to make a sorcerers stone?"

"Eternal life, Deirdre. Haven't you ever thought about living forever? Haven't you wondered about things like that?"

"Edward, I am 11 years old. I haven't had much time to wonder about things like that."

It got quiet all of a sudden, and for some reason, Deirdre felt a little bit nervous.

"You're a great friend," Edward said, "I'm glad I know you, Deirdre." And he gave her a kiss on her cheek.

Deirdre felt her face grow red.

Edward got up. "I got to go, Deirdre. It's getting late."

Deirdre nodded.

"Think about it. Think about helping me make the sorcerers stone." And with that, Edward disappeared.

February 14.…………………………

Valentine's day! Ranivans was nicely decorated for the special day. Teachers gave their students chocolates and other candy. And of course, everyone got their valentines!

Sammy gave Deirdre and Zandra a valentine each. Deirdre gave one to Edward, Sammy, and Zandra. And…………you get the point.

Edward, who, as you remember, is admired by more than half the girls in the school got his fair share of valentines, love poems, and chocolate. But nothing could prepare him for what Zandra had for him.

After going to the library to study, Edward headed to his room. He opened the door and gasped at the mere sight of what was inside his room.

Zandra, sitting down on his bed, clothed in crimson robes that accentuated every curve in her highly nubile body.

"Hello Edward," she said in a sultry voice.

"Zandra…….wha….wha….what are you doing?"
Zandra laughed and pulled Edward towards her. "Oh, Edward, don't act so surprised. You know I've wanted you since the first time I saw you. I've held back for awhile because you always seem to be changing girlfriends, but I frankly don't care anymore. I want you………….and I am going to get you."

Edward was speechless. Many girls had proclaimed their supposed love to him, but none of them had declared their lust………this was new to Edward.

Edward was now seated next to Zandra on his bed.

"Zandra, you're-

"Don't tell me I'm too young, because I'm actually not. And you know it."

"But-

Edward was cut off by Zandra, who impulsively kissed him full on the lips. At first, Edward wanted to back off, but Zandra seemed to have a sort of power over him. During their kiss, Edward felt powerless, weak at the knees. It was something he had never experienced before.

They kissed for what seemed like hours. Zandra didn't care. She was enjoying every moment of this situation. She decided to take advantage of the moment, and moved Edward's hand to the back of her robes.

"Go ahead," she mused, "Take them off, Edward. Take them off."

Edward stared at her. What had happened to Zandra? She was the complete opposite of all the girls he had dated. Most of them were pressured to do what Zandra wanted. Maybe that meant Zandra was slutty, but Edward didn't care at this moment.

"Go ahead, Edward. Take them off."

Edward couldn't take it any longer. He kissed Zandra on the lips and his hands seemed to be braver than ever, because at that moment he managed to pull Zandra's robes off…………………………..

Deirdre's room…………………………..

Deirdre had fallen asleep while she was doing her homework, and woke up suddenly in the night.

She woke up because she had felt something.

"Something is happening," she said to herself, "Something that is not good."

She tried to get rid of that shaky thought and turned her thoughts to Edward. Yes, Edward.

It seems that Deirdre had developed a crush on Edward Grey.

"He's so handsome……………………and nice……………..and he likes me," Deirdre thought.

But a voice in her head laughed at her and said, "Likes you like a good friend. Like a sister! What else would he see in you? You're six years younger than him!"

"But…..but……….something good can happen, right?"

"Something good? HA! You think Edward is perfect, don't you? Well, he probably isn't, and he is never going to like you like that, and you're too young for love anyway."

Deirdre was surprised at how rude the voice in her head could be. And she was surprised to feel hot tears welling up in her eyes.

"Screw this," she muttered and then tried to go to sleep again.
