Chapter 8: The Discussion
A live once lived was blocked
A crime committed
Went unpunished
The sin is reveled in a startling way
With a touch on a holy day
Lady Artemis Gryffin (AKA Goddess)

{ }= Artemis's thoughts [ ]= Draco's thoughts

Suddenly the black turned into white it kept getting brighter and brighter.

{why am I in the dream world}

[Artemis?]

{Draco? Is that you? tell me that our minds aren't linked}

[can't do that Goddess]

{don't call me that}

[what]

{Goddess}

[why not]

{you expect me to believe that you have forgotten}

[Artemis you know that was not me I was under the curse. I don't really remember why you are angry with me what did I do. Please tell me it wasn't so terrible] he thought concerned

{Draco you tried to kill me} she thought sadly

[What? When? How?] he exclaimed confused

{you really don't remember? Draco you dropped me fifty feet from a broomstick in the middle of a lake}

[WHAT] HE ROARED

{You and I went out on a flight and you purposely dropped me trying to kill me}

[ I would never do that ]

{you wouldn't but your father would}

[ I was under the curse Artemis what could I have done]

{broken free of it }

[ I tried, I couldn't ]

{others have}

[I told you I couldn't]

{others have when being forced to harm someone they care about. You didn't care about me enough to break free of the curse when you were about to murder me }

[ my memories are returning from that day please tell me I didn't then laugh at what I had done]

{I can't do that}

[I would never hurt you intentionally. If I was in control it would never have crossed my mind]

{your just lucky your father was their when I used my powers}

[ that's true if my father hadn't seen you fly out of that lake he would have killed me.]

{he tried to didn't he}

[more than once]

{Draco when I was healing you our minds connected and I saw your memories that probably explains this link. I saw your father put you under that curse when you were around twelve probably a few weeks before you tried to kill me. Why did he put you under the curse?}

[ because I was doubting everything he had taught me about Voldemort after hearing how he tried to kill Harry in the first year]

{I still cant trust you Draco. I'm sorry}

[Artemis please ] {I'm sorry but you lost my trust even though I do believe you it doesn't change the fact that I know you didn't care enough about me to fight off the curse}

everything began to turn gray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Welcome back Lady Gryffin you gave us all quite a scare". Said Professor Dumbledore as Artemis opened her eyes.

"How long was I out for Professor" she asked as she tried to sit up due to a major headache.

"Easy now don't try to sit up just yet. You were out for a few hours not very long considering the energy drain that using your magic must have caused" he said with a smile

"And Draco? Is he all right?" she asked with her voice full of concern

"He will be fine although I doubt he would even be alive if you hadn't healed him" he said

"I think I need to rest more sir. Can I have some dreamless sleep potion "? He handed her a goblet and she drank it. Before her head touched the pillow she was asleep.
