Hello!

This chapter might be a little confusing, so let me just start it off by saying: Paige just fell asleep and is having this weird dream…

The Cupid Games

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Paige was walking in a room of darkness trying to find out where she was.

She knew that she had fallen asleep in her bed, in the fifth year girls' room. But where was this place? She wanted to know.

"Hello?" she called out as mist started to swirl around her legs.

Then a cold blast of air knocked her off her feet and sent her flying back a couple yards. As she slid she had cut herself on something.

"Ouch!" she yelped, as she sat up.

Warm, sticky blood covered her fingers as she tried to cover her cut.

"Where am I?" she asked out loud, wincing as another cold blast of air blew past her and into her cut.

"The Land of Oz." Said a sarcastic voice behind her.

"Newmen?" she said turning.

There in the dark shadows, barely visible, was James Newmen.

"Where…" she began.

"Don't ask me because I have no clue." Said James kneeling beside her. "Is your arm okay?" he asked seeing the blood on her fingers and on her pink spaghetti strap top.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." Said Paige standing up. "This is a dream…isn't it?"

"Does your cut hurt?" James asked as another gust of wind blew past them.

Paige nodded, then looked up at him.

"My cut stopped bleeding." Said Paige feeling her arm.

"Hmm…" said James looking around, then he looked up thoughtfully.

Just then a bright white light flashed above them leaving both of them temporarily blind.

"Ahhh!" Paige said rubbing her eyes.

James snapped his head down and covered his eyes.

"Why would Malfoy be walking around with a Mudblood?" a cold, familiar, voice spat.

"I don't know." Said another familiar voice.

"James!" said Paige opening her eyes; white light was now surrounding her.

"I think I liked the black better." Said James rubbing his eyes and blinking rapidly.

Paige shook her head as the voices began again.

"The Dark Lord will not be pleased to hear that Malfoy was walking and talking civilly with a Mudblood." Snapped a voice Paige had not heard before.

"Do you hear that?" James asked looking around them.

"I heard these voices before." Said Paige frowning, "I just never heard the third one."

"Third one? Before?" James asked frowning at her. "Why didn't you tell me about these voices?" he asked grabbing Paige by the shoulders and shaking her.

"It's not like we're friends or anything!" said Paige pushing James away from her.

Paige winced and covered her arm as blood started to gush out again.

"Sorry!" said James stepping back.

Paige shook her head and walked away from James.

Why am I always stuck with him? Paige asked herself as she looked down at the ground.

"What should we do about Malfoy, sir?"

"SHUT UP!" Paige shouted at the voices.

"We wait…he may have a plan."

"I JUST SAID TO…" Paige was about to shout again.

"Why don't you take your own advice Andrews?" James snapped, joining Paige.

Paige was about to snap back, when the white ground beneath them started to shift.

"What's going on?" Paige asked as she fell into James' arms.

"You okay?" James asked.

Paige tried to answer, but her face was in James' chest. Pulling away, she blushed as she fell into James again.

Then the ground gave one final jerk, sending James and Paige to the ground.

"Ouch!" said Paige as she tried to move her arms. Something heavy was on her.

"James! Get off!" Paige said.

She and James had landed in a rather…uncomfortable position. Paige was flat on her back and James was covering her, his face was just an inch above hers'.

Paige saw James' cold blue eyes widen in surprise.

"Sorry." He murmured as he rolled off.

Paige sat up and watched, amused, as James' face turned bright red.

"Please tell me this is just a dream." He said shaking his head.

Paige was silent.

Then a white light flashed over and over from high above, like a strobe light.

"We've got to get out of here!" Paige said closing her eyes. "I might go insane!"

"It's too late." Said James smirking at her, "You're already insane."

Paige glared and punched his shoulder just as the light's stopped. They were both surrounded in darkness, again.

Paige screamed as something brushed against her elbow.

"James!" she said waving her arms wildly trying to find him.

SMACK!

"HEY! You hit me!"

"Sorry!" Paige said, grabbing onto his sleeve.

She pulled up really close to James and held on to his wrist, as if afraid he would leave her in the dark.

"I can't feel my hand." He said, a few minutes later.

Paige let go.

"If this is a dream, then how can we feel pain?" Paige asked. "And where did those voices go?"

"I don't know." He replied. "And what's up with this weird sudden temperature change?"

Only then did Paige realize that it was almost twenty degrees. Her skin was burning from the cold as wind started to tear at her long red pants.

"I'm…f-freezing!" she said rubbing her shoulders.

Then she felt something warm slid around her shoulders.

Hello!

Sorry if this was confusing, but I needed to put this in because it has something to do with an event that comes up in later chapters! Should I let Paige tell the story and stick a few Hermione P.O.V. chapters in or just let Paige do the whole thing? I really need too know because I'm getting confused trying to decide who gets to star in the next chapter. But what ever you readers/ reviewers decide is fine with me!

Thanks to Alanna Roseguard, Jaya, britt, JamieGirl, Natasha, Priya-chan, Mrs. Amanda Malfoy, Kitty, and fishy for reviewing my story! I'd also like to thank Nuada for finding my mistake! It is supposed to be sixteen hundred years.

Now that you read this lame chapter, it's time to review!

Thank you,

Magic bunny

P.S.

I wanted to know if I should post a new story. It well be a Draco and Hermione romance with one of my own wacky characters mixed in!
