A little bit later, Missy went out to take a walk. "I may be gone for a while, don't wait up." She said coldly.

After she left the room, Elorra and Lizzy looked at each other. "Come on!" Lizzy whispered. And they snuck out behind Missy.

They followed her until she left the great hall, then they stood at the top of the stairs and watched her out of the window.

"There's Ron at the lake!" Lizzy said. "And Missy's coming up from behind him! Ooh, I have an idea!"

"What?"

"Just follow me and I'll show you!" Lizzy ran down the stairs, with Elorra trailing behind her, to open the door, but nearly ran into it.

"Maybe you should try opening the door." Elorra laughed.

"Oh, shut up!"

They walked down over to a tall tree and stood behind it. Missy was walking to the other side of the lake.

"So, what're you going to do this time?" Elorra asked.

Lizzy smiled, and whispered something in Elorra's ear. A sly grin appeared across Elorra's face.

Missy was walking closer toward the lake, and saw Ron. She was about to turn back, but suddenly Lizzy ran up behind her, grabbed her shoulders, and pushed her in the lake.

Lizzy quickly ran back and hid behind the tree and watched to see what would happen.

"Missy!" Ron shouted. He dived into the lake.

"It's working!" Elorra squealed.

"Wait a minute! I could have killed Missy!"

"Don't worry! Ron'll save her!"

"What if he doesn't know how to swim?"

"Then we're doomed."

Ron had finally caught up to Missy, and he put his arm around her waist and swam up to the top of the lake and laid her down on the grass.

He leaned over her, gasping, and watched her face. "She's not breathing." He whispered.

"Lizzy!" said Elorra. "You've killed her!"

"Well, run over there and tell Ron to do mouth to mouth!"

Elorra snorted.

"What? We can take a picture!"

Elorra burst out laughing, and Lizzy continued to watch what would happen.

"Please wake up!" Ron said.

He tilted her head back, took two fingers, and swept them through her mouth; he pinched her nose and opened her mouth with his thumb and forefinger.

Lizzy's mouth dropped open. "Elorra!" She screeched! "He's going to do it! He's actually going to give her mouth to mouth!" "Oh where's Colin Creevey when you need him?" Moaned Elorra. "Right here," came a voice from behind them. Colin was standing behind them holding his camera up to his eye. They all watched together as Ron licked his lips then bent his head and pressing his lips against Missy's, breathed into her.

Missy's eyes opened suddenly, and she shoved Ron off of her. "Get off of me!" She coughed up a mouthful of water. She sat up and glared at Ron.

"Why did you push me in?" she said.

"I didn't-"

"And what do you think you were doing just now?"

"I didn't push you in!" Ron said hotly. "And I was only saving your life just now!"

"Then how did I fall in?"

"I don't know! But I just saved you!"

"You're just doing that so you won't get in trouble!"

"How do you know that?"

Missy had nothing more to say. She stood up, and stomped back up to the castle without a second look at Ron.

Lizzy and Elorra looked at each other. "Uh oh." They both said at the same time. Ron glared at Missy's back, and stormed off into the other direction, towards Hagrid's hut. Missy sloshed her way into the common room. Mandy looked at her astonished.

"What are you looking at?" Missy snapped. She picked her robes up off the floor and climbed the stairs to her bedroom. Everyone crowded up near the door to the girls dormitories. Lizzy and Elorra had walked in a few moments after Missy had. They were at the door, along with Joshua, Harry, Hermione, Mandy, Ralee, and Patrick "You won't believe what just happened!" Lizzy whispered to the others. "And Colin got a picture of it all!" She beckoned to Elorra and Elorra came forward with Colin's picture. "Check this out!" They all crowded around the picture, and immediately, everyone covered their mouths in a vain effort to stop the giggles. The picture was of Missy lying down in the grass beside the lake. Ron was leaning over her, and from a distance, it looked like he was kissing her, because you couldn't see the hand that was pinching her nostrils closed. And the Ron and Missy in the picture weren't making it any better. Ron in the picture, had wrapped his arms around the picture Missy, and the picture Missy was kissing the picture Ron back-with fervor. Hermione was bent over wheezing. "How on earth did you get that picture?" So Lizzy and Elorra explained all that had happened. Harry turned the picture over in his hands, his eyebrows raised and a grin on his face. "This is priceless, Lizzy." Lizzy dug her toe into the carpet. "Thanks," she said shyly. Elorra and Mandy glanced at each other. If there was one thing that Lizzy never was, it was shy. Mandy grinned at Elorra, and they both turned and looked at Lizzy. Lizzy looked up. "What?" She quickly changed the subject. "So are we going to do this or not?" She looked at Ralee.

Ralee smiled. "I brought my dream machine." She held up a complicated looking machine that even Hermione couldn't begin to figure out. She flipped a switch, fiddled some knobs, and typed onto a triangular keyboard. She pushed a button and held it for a few seconds. She put a sort of helmet over her head, and typed some more. She gave them thumbs up. "Now all we have to do is wait." And with that, she flipped the visor down on the helmet.

Missy walked over to her closet and changed into a nice warm pair of flannel pajamas. She put on her favorite gummy bear slippers and padded over to her bed. She sighed and flopped down on her bed, not thinking about her dream. She pulled the covers up close to her chin and snuggled down. She was sick and tired of all the nonsense going on around Hogwarts. She just wanted a nice peaceful--yawn. Nap. She drifted off to sleep. It almost seemed as if she stepped out of the darkness of no dreams, and stepped into a vast white room with no windows and no furniture, except for a bed; and there was something hanging above the bed, swinging closer and closer to the squirming lump on the bed. Missy watched, horrified, as the pendulum swung closer and closer, stirring the air, and making her hair fly. The figure squirmed some more, and just as if a light had come on, she could see that it was Ron, tied to the blankets. She gasped. Ron looked up, the pendulum nearly missing his head. "Missy! Help me!" he leaned his head back down again, and squirmed some more, trying to loosen the ropes. The pendulum swung closer and closer, until there was hardly any space at all left between it and Ron. Down and down it came until, Missy knew that in it's next swing, it would slice Ron just above the stomach and kill him with it's deadly sharp blade. "No!" she screamed. Just as the pendulum cut Ron's robes. "I forgive him! Please let him live!" Instantly, the pendulum stopped, and was drawn up into the ceiling, almost as if a giant had been controlling it from inside a trapdoor. Then the room swirled around Missy and she sat up in bed, startled. She couldn't figure out where she was now, at all. "Ron!" She gasped. She leapt up from bed and opened the door, almost crashing into the group standing behind it. "Where's Ron?" she asked wildly, not noticing Ralee's smile. Just then Ron walked into the common room.

"Ron!" Missy shrieked. She flew across the room and into his arms. She buried her head into his collar. "I was so worried about you!" Ron, having no idea was she was talking about, patted her awkwardly on the back.

As everyone walked down the girls' dormitory stairs, Mandy, Elorra and Lizzy stared at Ralee. "What did you do to her?" Mandy asked. Ralee grinned. "That's between Missy and I. I really have to go now; glad tonight was a success. Draco is probably wondering where I am." She waved and left.

Mandy looked at her watch. "Gadzooks! My dinner date with Oliver is in 10 minutes, I have to do my hair!" And with that, she waved to them, dodged Ron still patting Missy's back, and sprinted back up the stairs.

Ron gently pushed Missy away from him. "Would you kindly tell me what's wrong?" He asked. Missy took a deep breath. "Well, I had a dream that you almost died, and I realized how stupid I was for carrying on my grudge for so long. Can you ever forgive me?" A slow smile spread across Ron's face. "Of course I'll forgive you!" He exclaimed. "But," She said pointing a finger at him, "that doesn't mean I'm not upset with you for pushing me into the lake."

Lizzy and Elorra looked at each other and fled from the common room and into the Great Hall for dinner.

Ron's mouth dropped open. "I told you, I didn't push you in the lake!" Missy rolled her eyes. "We've been over this already Ron, if you didn't push me in, then how did I get in there? I didn't fall in!" "I don't know!" Ron insisted, as Missy climbed out of the portrait hole heading to the Great Hall, slippers and all. "Yes you do know!" And the portrait hole closed behind them, shutting out Ron's last defensive statement.

Hermione turned to Joshua, Patrick, and Harry. "That was great, wasn't it?"

Harry grinned. "I wish I had a picture of Ron's face when Missy ran up to him." Hermione waved the picture of Missy and Ron by the lake. "No, we have something better." They all laughed. And made their way down to the great hall, talking.

When Missy got there, she spotted Lizzy and Elorra sitting at the edge of the table. Lizzy saw Missy and fell off of her bench.

"What is wrong with you two?" Missy laughed.

"Nothing!" said Elorra quickly. "It's not like we pushed you in a lake or anything!"

"Don't lie!" Lizzy said, standing up beside her. "Of course we pushed you in." She blurted out.

"Lizzy! Why'd you tell her?"

"YOU TWO PUSHED ME IN?!"

"On accident-"

"And I thought it was Ron this whole time-"

Ron grinned.

"We're sorry-"

Missy turned to Ron. "And I'm sorry too, Ron." He folded his arms across his chest, and smirked. "And I was right. Admit it." Missy glared at him. "Don't be arrogant."

"Look, here comes Ralee," said Mandy who had appeared just a moment before right behind Hermione, Patrick, Joshua, and Harry. She ran up to Ralee and held out her hand smiling. "Couldn't have done it without you." she said cheerfully. "Thanks." Ralee turned and saw Draco coming.

"Do what? Like I'd ever want to do anything for you." she said nastily and turned and walked away with Draco.

"What's wrong with her?" Lizzy asked.

"I don't know..." Mandy sighed. They sat down at the Gryffindor table and waited for the food to magically appear, while Mandy brushed off her robes, and straightened the bow in her hair. "Well I'd better go find Oliver!" She said brightly. "See you all later!"
