Chapter 5
--The Dream--
Ella felt her body became cold and slowly felt displaced; suddenly she was staring at her own self in the tub. She watched as Draco found her and covered her up... she watched light-headed as Snape and Dumbledore came into the room. Then her attention started to wither to the side and the room grew darker.
She opened her eyes to see the she was covered from head to toe with snakes. Not flinching Ella raised her body a bit to see her great grandpa staring down at her with his red snake pupil eyes. "Do not fight your destiny, the snakes are the path to greatness." Voldemort hissed out at her.
Ella turned her head from him and looked down at the snakes, "Like hell I would join you side... and I will never let you harm Draco or anyone else."
She focused on the snakes as she started whispering to them to get off of her. The snakes looked at their Master and then back at the girl. Suddenly Ella snapped into Parseltongue and the snakes left her and started to attack Voldemort. Climbing up his legs, and biting down on the flesh just below his knees- Ella looked at Voldemort, "You might be family but you never care for anyone but your power." As she said that the black faded room was covered with clouds and it started to pour as Voldemort pulled the snakes off of himself.
Ella soaked and mad at Voldemort, "I better not see you around me or my friends at Hogwarts... ever." Ella pushed him away from her dream and she was alone. Shivering she felt herself floating back down from the dreamland.
--Real World--
Ella's eyes snapped open as she turned herself to her side; she felt thick blankets over her. Her body was warm and comfortable. Looking around a bit she noticed that Draco was sleeping on his stomach right next to her but out of the blankets. His mouth hung open as his pale back was exposed to the night air. Ella lifted the blankets off of her and set them on Draco, snuggling against his cooled skin. Draco turned his body towards Ella's and then hugged her. She fell asleep in the already slumbering boy's arms.
Draco opened his eyes and directly in front of him was the pale beauty that caught his heart; she was staring back at him. Then he noticed that Ella was still only in the robe that he covered her on that night. Gulping Draco continued to watch her amazing eyes that were focused back at him.
"How long was I out?" Ella asked as she let herself talk with a dry throat. Draco lend against his arm, lifting his body a bit and looking down at Ella. But then lifting himself up into sitting position, and watching Ella do the same- mumbling in pain. Grabbing a glass of water on the nightstand, he handed her the glass. Ella sipped the cool water.
"About a week..." That's when she noticed the greasy hair, "Oh..." She was speechless to find out that within the week, Draco only left her side to use the toilet- Snape bought Draco food. She ran her fingers through his hair as she focused her attention on her love. The thought of her finding her love- and having him there under the same blankets made her blush.
"Dumbledore said when you wake up that we will be leaving and under the watchful eye of Snape in Las Vegas, Nevada... You ever had been there?" Draco asked, Ella just shook her head, "Why there?" Replying with only a shrug. "Something about Voldemort not wanting to make too big of a scene and Vegas being a tourist place." Ella nodded.
Ella sat on the plane that was heading back to the states. She looked over at Draco and Snape, noticing that Draco had a smirk on his face; he rose up one eyebrow as he took another look at Snape.
Snape was wearing black cargo pants and a gray Beatles t-shirt... that had a picture of the band, and in big words saying, 'All we need is love.' Snape looked out of place as he chewed on his lower lip, he wasn't use to the Muggle World, or their clothes.
Ella giggled but was cut off by the angry look from Snape, finally the day turned into night, as they landed into the busy lighted city. Taking their bags and getting a taxi they arrived at a motel 6 that was a bit off the strip. Stepping to the door and slipping the key into the bed knob, Snape rushed the kids into the room with two beds.
Slamming the door behind him, "You tell no one about this trip, understand..." "Yes Prof. Snape." Ella and Draco chimed together as they hid their smiling faces. Snape looked around the room, closing the drapes over the windows, "Get to bed children... long day tomorrow." Ella and Draco looked at the two beds, then at Snape. "Oh go on..." Snape motioned the kids to the bed away from the window as to plopped himself on the one by the window. Falling asleep almost instantly and still in his street clothes, Snape looked normal.
Ella sat on the bed, as she went thru her bag and pulling out Pjs- during the time Draco was doing the same. Draco let Ella go into the bathroom first as he sat and thought about the past months. Things were normal before the attack on the school and train. Now he was in the states with the girl he loved and his potions teacher... things couldn't get weirder could they?
