Chapter 13: Love Finds a Way

A/N: ok, thanks to everyone who reviewed!!! Now on to the story!!!

Eric fled down the stairs clutching his bag in one hand and Amy's letter in the next. When he finally got into the halls it took him a while to find the front door. Durmstrang was huge. Eric half expected someone to stop him but no one tried. As he came to the forest that bordered the school he stopped, how was he going to get to Hogwarts? He didn't even know where he was now. All he knew was that Durmstrang was north of Hogwarts.

"I'm screwed." Eric said to himself before he began saying every curse he knew under his breath. He was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"You the kid from Hogwarts right?"

"Yeah who are you?" Eric said as he turned around to find a short skinny boy with brown hair in his eyes.

"My name is Brett, now listen you wanna go back to your girlfriend am I right?"

Eric just nodded, how did this kid know about Amy?

"Follow me."

The gangly boy then led Eric through the forest ahead of him, through dark paths and twisted turns. Eric looked at his watch it was 6:00. What if this 'Brett' was palying a joke on him?

"Is this a joke?" Eric asked.

"See for yourself." Said Brett as he pushed back a few bushes only to reveal a small town about a mile away.

Eric stood in astonishment trying to let something come out of his mouth, but he couldn't.

"Listen," Brett said, "Go into town, just keep going straight, you'll see an airport, the one you came here from." Eric watched as Brett pulled out something from his pocket "Heres your ticket."

Eric just stood their dumb stricken, the ticket in his hand "Who are you." He managed to let out.

"You know Chris, Amy's friend?"

Eric nodded.

"I'm one of his cousins, he told me about the situation and asked if I could pull some strings. Look, I gotta go be careful ok?"

"Umm…ok, thank you." Eric said still dumbfounded

"Don't mention it." Brett said as he patted Eric's shoulder and disappeared into the woods.

Eric went straight, following Brett's instructions until he found the airport, "I'm coming Amy." He said to himself as he bordered the flight.

Amy woke up startled; it was that same dream again. The one with the boy. But now she knew who it was, it was Eric. It was approximately 1:00, but she didn't care, she was going to take a walk on the grounds, who was stopping her?

As she walked she thought of nothing else but Eric and those last words he said to her 'I love you'. A tear went down her cheek as she thought of it so it wasn't long before she started bawling.

"Why is this happening!" she yelled "Why is it that I always have to be the one the shit happens to?" She took her face out of her palms when she felt a slight nibbling at her ear. It was Merry he had dropped a letter on her lap that read:

I'll be right there,

Eric

And as if he had read her mind a hand lightly touched her shoulder.

"Told you I would." Amy swiftly turned around to find Eric, out of breath with his bags in one hand and her letter in the next

"E-Eric?" she stuttered having a hard time believing he was there right in front of her.

"Yeah, I'm here Amz," he looked at her neck and said "I see you got the necklace."

Amy didn't answer she just grabbed him in her arms and kissed him passionately. Eric didn't hesitate with a response, he liked her aggressiveness. They just stood there for a while lips pressed against one another's. When they finally ended the kiss they were still as close as they could be, in each other's arms, as happy as they could ever be.

"How did you get back?" Amy asked hesitantly

"Shh…I'll tell you upstairs" he said as he led her back up to the castle
