Chapter Five:

Draco and Dre joined hands and the walked out of Hogwarts.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked.

"I don't know, I'm just really scared... It's not really fair that I have to be in a situation like this. I haven't done anything wrong have I?" Dre said. Draco stopped her. Dre looked down at the ground.

"Look at me," Draco said. Dre shook her head no.

"LOOK AT ME," Draco said in a more demanding voice. She still didn't but Draco tilted her head up to meet his eyes. He looked very sweet, and charming, and his eyes were very concerned.

"Listen, just because you're now a seer, and everyone is constantly bugging you, I want you to know this is completely not your fault. No one would have prevented this, not even you," Draco said. Dre's nose started to tingle, and she felt tears start to fill her eyes.

"Hey," Draco said softly, and he pulled her into a hug, and soon tears were falling freely down her face.

"I'm scared! I don't know what I'm doing, and I can't control anything, and I've never been scared like this," Dre said, trying not to sob uncontrollably, but she wasn't doing a very good job.

"Hey, I'm going to be here for you no matter what," Draco said. "But I'm thinking... Dre?" Draco said. Dre pulled away from him slightly, so their eyes could meet.

"What is it?" Dre said. He walked with her in silence over to the old willow tree at the edge of the forest, and sat down on the ground, his back to the tree, leaning against it, and had Dre sit in his lap.

"Dre, I know something happened, that day at Hogsmead, you saw something, and I want to know exactly what it is you saw, because it was something that effected us," Draco said. Dre sighed deeply.

"Draco, I don't know what it was," Dre said.

"Just tell me what you know," Draco said softly. Dre nodded.

"I went up to Trewlany's tower right before Hogsmead, I wanted to know if there was anyone I liked besides you, and if it just hadn't become apparent to me, and so we did this weird divinations thing, and I saw the guy I like, except it was all fuzzy," Dre said.

"You saw the match... Who was it?" Draco asked. Dre hesitated.

"It was Ron Weasly," Dre said. Draco didn't say anything. She could almost hear his mind working, but he wasn't saying anything. What was he thinking? Suddenly, she knew, exactly what he was thinking.

I knew it. She never liked me all the much, she was just saying yes as to not make me a fool. How can I ever come to grips with the fact she doesn't love me as much as I love her? I'll kill him! I'll kill him, he can't have her!

"Draco I still love you, and I don't have any plans of stopping our relationship, I promise," Dre said.

"Do you?" Draco said. Dre slid off his lap, and sat next to him.

"Listen, Draco, I love you, you'll never understand that. We've been friends for as long as I can remember, and I think I love you with a deeper love than is describable. I want you to know that I'll still go out with you, even if it means telling my parents," Dre said. Draco looked at her, his gray eyes boring into her soul. She hesitated, but then she leaned in and kissed him. It was strange, like their souls met and bonded before releasing each other, and going back into their respective bodies. The pulled away slowly. Dre was just about to apologize, when Draco leaned in and kissed her back. IT was that same strange sensation like something happened with their souls, like they weren't two separate people any longer, but one combined being. Dre pulled away slowly, and it took her a moment to regain a sense of self. They didn't say anything for several minutes

"I... Sorry," Dre said.

"Are you kidding?" Draco said. "That wasn't just a kiss..." Draco said. "I mean when they use the phrase pour your soul into a kiss, that's what they mean, I don't know what the hell just happened there," Draco said. He stood up, and walked back to the castle. Dre felt tears go to her eyes and the overflow. Grief consumed her whole body.

"My dear?" A voice said. Dre looked up, and Trewlany was walking up.

"What?" Dre said, trying not to sound irritated.

"There's something I need to give to you," Trewlany said. She handed Dre a letter and then walked away. Dre pulled the letter open, tears dripping from her face she felt so consumed. She opened the red tinted parchment, and looked at the perfect words.

My Dearest Drimeth, Nothing could have prepared you for the sorrows you are facing right now, and the sudden separation you feel from the world. Being a see is the most difficult gift to deal with, in fact you are not as alone as you think. But you must be strong. Most of the Seers born in this day end their lives because they don't know what is wrong with their being. Friends a strange them, and most harshly loved ones do. I hope that you never have to deal with these hardships, but you must know what is going to happen to you. Emotions. It is strange when males are seers, because they become incredibly emotional for that gender, and it seems rather odd, and they are usually shunted, and taken for something that they know for a fact they are not. Emotion's will not be light feelings anymore, they will be harsh and very strong, never able to escape them. Grief will feel like your soul is rent in two, and that there will be an empty void in your life. But it will be filled soon. Happiness will be stronger than ever when it occurs. When something makes you smile, it will most likely make you laugh. Fear will be common. Being able to see the future makes you afraid, because you know what is going to happen to your loved ones, your friends, your enemies, your role-models. Some seers even are able to see what will happen to the whole world. It does not happen often, but it has occurred. Fear... People will say you over react about your fears, but they will never understand, because what you know is fact, unless it can be prevented. But prevention is the most difficult thing to do Drimeth. Prevention can ruin everything. If you see something, and you want to intervene, please talk to someone wise before you do so. If there is not enough time for you to speak with someone, please... Drimeth let it occur. It may seem like the most horrible thing you could ever do, but it is very important you let it happen, because you don't know what you could cause to go awry, and so many other things you would have to intervene, and then your life would become a life just to intervene, and when you die, who will intervene for you? Please Drimeth... Be careful.

With love and due respect to the birthing of a seer,

Cassandra Trewlany

Dre read and re-read the letter. She didn't know this woman, only that she was the great-great-grandmother of Professor Trewlany. She had always assumed her to be dead, but apparently she was well and kicking, and according to her handwriting she looked like she was in pretty good condition. She smiled. The most advice she had ever received in her life was put in that letter. She stood up. The sun had just set.

She walked up to the castle, into the hallways, down to the dungeons, and into the Slytherin common room.

"Hey Drimeth, can I talk to you?" Madison asked

"No actually I can't right now I have a letter to write to a role-model. Maybe another time?" Dre said smiling. Madison nodded.

"We have to talk about earlier. By the way Draco's in his dorm, and he hasn't come out. Is something wrong with him?" Madison said.

"I doubt he wants to talk to me right now," Dre said. Just as she swept upstairs into her dorm, shutting the door, Draco immerged.

"Did Dre come in?" He asked. Madison nodded.

"Yeah, she's upstairs, want me to go get her for you?" Madison said. Draco shook his head violently.

"Hell no," He said, and he ran back upstairs.

"Well something happened there..." Madison whispered.

"Looks like Draco needs some comforting," Pansy said slyly, and she slipped upstairs.

"Sounds like they don't need a viper in their midst right now," Jewel said her eyes narrowed, once Pansy had disappeared.

"Hey Jewel, go get Dre's homework for me, I'm going to finish it for her," Madison said.

"What?" Jewel asked surprised.

"Yeah, she looked really weighed down, I'm sure she could use the relief, but I'll leave the potions homework alone," Madison said. Jewel grinned.

"Alright, I'll be back," Jewel said. Madison smiled slightly. Dre, you just earned myself as your ally.
