She was running again. Faster. She had to go faster. Evil was catching up to her. There, right in front of her was the one she loved. But she couldn't reach him. She felt tears slip down her cheek.

"Run Faster!" She heard him cry. She started to sob. "You won't make it." The portal was right there. Right there, and yet. She didn't have enough strength to reach it. Her body was shaking and trembling trying to stay on her feet.

"I… can't." Finally she couldn't do it anymore. She looked into his eyes. "Please… wait." She saw him reach for her and then a red light flew over her shoulder. Her heart went faster. Even faster than she thought was possible. It felt like it would beat right out of her body. He was gone! She turned her back to the nothingness that was once her love. But strangely, a new sense of strength filled her body. Had he made it? Was he safe within her?

"I'm here my love, do not despair. I will be with you always." She could hear his voice in her. He was still here. She smiled. Thank god. She could see Evil slowly walking toward her. His mincing laugh shot fear through her body. "My love, you shall be safe. As long as I am here you will not be harmed." She smiled. "I love you, Aidan," She thought to him and then slowly raised her wand.

She sat up straight her alarm going off. Aidan? Her body was covered in sweat but there was no urine. She felt slightly accomplished, but couldn't shake the feeling that something uncompleted. She stood slowly the cotton sheets clinging to the sweat that had collected on her body. She walked to the shower as if in a daze. She turned on the water and stripped slowly. Then she turned to look in the mirror. Her pale skin looked paler than usual if that was at all possible. She could see every vein pronounced in her body. It was then she realized... she was still out of breath.

He walked slowly down the hallway toward the slytherin showers. He loved showers. There he could drown his worry, his emotions could disappear down the drain along with the water. He slowly undressed and leaned on the cool marble while he was waiting for the water to warm. Is she thinking of me? No, idiot she doesn't know you. Yah? Well, maybe she does and she's just not letting on. Get a grip Draco; if she knew it was you she would put a spell on it to self-combust. He sighed knowing that was true. He stepped into the shower although it wasn't warm yet. He just needed to get away… from himself.

She took the stairs two at a time down from her dormitory. She saw Ron and walked over to him quickly. She needed to laugh. "Hey, Ron, watcha up to?"

Ron looked up and smiled. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the devil herself. If I'm not interfering may I ask, how is the weather in Hades? Still hot, I hear?" Hermione smacked him with the back of her hand on his shoulder. She sat down next to him. "No seriously, because in a few hours I'm probably going to end up there."

Hermione looked up at him. "Things aren't going to well with Ashlee?" Ron shook his head no. Ever since last summer, Ron had a crush on a girl who just transferred schools. But she was never interested. "Aw, I'm sorry Ron. She's a tough girl. But why would you go to Hades?"

He looked at her for a second and then motioned for her to move closer. Hermione scooted her chair closer to his. He leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. "Last night I jacked George's Love Chocolates… and well, it didn't work. She, well… she threw up." Hermione looked at him. He looked so genuinely worried. She started laughing. And once she started laughing she couldn't stop. Ron just looked at her. "You know if she had acted like that I might not feel this shitty." He looked down again and tried to write a few more words in his apology note.

"Oh, I'm sorry Ron. Do you want me to talk to her?" Ron just looked at her. Then the sides of his smile quirked up… a lot like Aidan's. Aidan.

"HELLO?" Hermione blinked all of a sudden back to reality. "Oy, Hermione! Sheesh, this is the third time I said your name. Never mind I'll just give her the note myself. Could you just read it over?"

"Oh, sure." She took the piece of paper from him and almost started laughing at his chicken scratch handwriting. But she held it in and read slowly.

Dear Ashlee,

I am so sorry for making you sick. I swear I didn't mean to. There was a good reason, believe it or not, for those chocolates. If I had known that you would have acted that way to them, I swear that I would never ever have given them too you. Um, well, I guess that's it. But well, I wanted to tell you… Get well soon.

Ron.

She smiled and looked up at him. "Ron, she'll love it." She handed it back to him and walked back to her room sending him a little wave. She ran to her dresser and slipped on the ring. She said the spell. And waited. The colors started to twirl. She laughed and spun with them. Until they lead her to Aidan.

"Well, hello there angel. Guess what?" He said as she approached. He grabbed her hand and twirled her around once then brought her close to his body. "You get to sing for me."

"Aw come on! I forgot. That's not fair." She protested pushing him away.

"But, love I believe it is VERY fair. And I know what you're going to sing to me." He said slyly, twirling her again. "Dreaming of you."

She looked into his eyes. "Fine, dirt bag I'll sing your bloody song. But then you have to eat chocolates with me tomorrow." Sounded fine to him.

"Fine… sing to me." He sat back and waited watching her watch him.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping.
I stay up and think of you.
And I wish on a star,
That somewhere you are thinking of me too.

'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me.

Wonder if you ever see me, and I
Wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes,
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

Wow her voice was beautiful. He sat there entranced.

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day, and the courage to say
How much I love you.
(yes I do)

'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me.

corazon, i can't stop dreaming of you,
no puedo dejar de pensar en ti,
i can't stop dreaming,
como te nesesito,
i cant stop dreamind of you,
mi amor como teextrano

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said I love you
I love you too

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming with you endlessly

She stopped singing and walked up to him quickly. She leaned forward and kissed him fast. He disappeared and she finally let out her breath.
