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. "Any last words?"
But he just laughed. "You silly girl. You really think you and your little boy toy can kill ultimate Evil?"She started talking as she slowly circled him, wand raised. "A. He is not my boy toy, he is my fiancé, get it right idiot. B. Who said I want to kill you? And C. You are NOT ultimate evil, trust me." She raised her wand and shouted, "Fontonata!"
Evil started melting… slowly. She could see his eyes start to dissolve and his arm drip. He looked at her and smiled. Well... what was left of his smile. "Clever girl. Who knew that Iris Granger was so strong? And vicious. But, not for long. Until your kin can love openly you shall never defeat me." And with that he stopped melting. He looked into her eyes, and stated simply with a drawl of disgust hinting through, "Aidan Malfoy, how nice to see you again." And then he shimmered out.
Hermione awoke from her nightmare. She grabbed her covers and threw them off of her in disgust. Urine, AGAIN! After all this time! She had made it for 3 months and now! She stormed off to the bathroom and turned on the water leaving it cold. She hopped in enjoying the painful wakening sensation that shot through her body. She scrubbed her body over and over again until she was almost sure that the smell was gone, and her skin was a pink hue. Then she walked out of the shower dripping still not even reaching for the towel. She stood in front of the mirror naked. What was going on? Aidan Malfoy. Her mind seemed to whisper to her. Bloody… HELL! MALFOY!
DPOV"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He sat up in bed. No, she can't find out this way. No please. He jumped out of bed tossing his covers to the side ignoring the sweat running down his face. If she knows who I am then my disguising spell wont work! She will hate me! No God please. Tell me only I saw this dream. God please God please. All of a sudden all the colors swirled in unison. All of his hope fled. He stiffly pulled on sweat pants and walked slowly to where they usually meet… a crystal tear sliding down his cheek.
