I walk through the dark woods following him.

"It's just through here," he promises. I walk through a bundle of leaves crawling with god knows what. As I get closer my left temple begins to burn in the shape of my lightning bolt scar.

"Draco, I don't know about this," I say not wanting to go farther. But he eggs me on. So I follow. He brings me to a clearing, a smile growing on his beautiful pale face.

"Isn't it beautiful, Allison?" I look around. The clearing is a beautiful moonlight pasture brimming with golden stones and golden moonlight illuminating clouds of pink flowers and white-green sparkling blades of the softest grass. Then, a cold, harsh hissing voice comes to us.

"Thank you, Draco. You have been most helpful," Voldemort whispers.

"No!" he yells jumping in front of me.

"Get out of my way!"

"You're not taking her!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

And in a flash of green light, my life is gone. But somehow, I'm still standing here. I pull out the knife, letting it shine in the moonlight. And in a second, in a short high-pitched laugh, in a short slit of skin. I'm no more living a life that's already dead.

"Alli, wake up. It's time," Draco whispered. Alli sat up on the green leather couch. The firelight shone on Draco's face. Alli wiped the sleep from her eyes.

"Why are we going so late at night?" Alli asked him.

"So no one else will be around," Draco said matter-of-factly. "And because what I have to show you is much more beautiful at night than it could ever be when the sun's out. Come on." He took Alli's hand and helped her up.

-

Ron nudged Harry and Hermione throwing the cloak quickly over them. Harry groaned.

"What?"

"I think they're coming," Hermione told him. And sure enough, Alli and Draco came out of the Slytherin common room.

"Took 'em long enough," Harry grunted.

"Shh!"

Ron, Harry, and Hermione crept behind Alli and Draco following them out of the school and down towards Hagrid's hut.

-

As Alli and Draco neared the forest, Alli held onto Draco's arm.

"I'm nervous," Alli explained. Draco smiled.

"Don't be. You'll love it, Als."

They entered the forest passing between two gigantic trees. It was cooler in the forest under all the leaves. Tree stumps scattered the earth beneath their feet. Alli took care to watch where she stood.

"It's just through here," Draco said. He led her to a tall underbrush that was identical to the one Alli had just left in her dreams. Chills prickled her arms.

"Um…Draco, I don't know about this," Alli said recognizing the words that she said as if it were déjà vu.

"Come on, it's fine." The area he led her to, glowed with the same glow from the same moon. The pink flowers floated like clouds and the white-green grass sparkled. Alli backed up shaking her head.

"No, no, no…we shouldn't be here," Alli told him.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked. Alli felt her scar. It wasn't hurting, it wasn't prickling. It was fine. Everything looked fine. Everything looked perfect. Yet, everything was the same. She didn't understand. "Alli, what's the matter?" Alli swallowed her fear. Maybe Draco was right. It was probably nothing. Just a nightmare she had. That follows the same path? A voice said in her head. Alli ignored it.

"I'm fine."

"So, what do you think?" Draco laughed smiling at her. Alli took in the beauty of it all. The beauty she hadn't had time to admire in her nightmare.

"It's beautiful, Draco! Oh my gosh, its so pretty."

"Just like you," Draco whispered in her ear.

-

"Ron, this is stupid, let's just go," Hermione said. Ron had his hands in tight fists at his sides.

"I agree. Let's go, Ron," Harry said. "Plus, my head isn't feeling all that well." Harry touched his fingers to his prickling scar. Ron sighed.

"Alright."

-

Draco got down on one knee.

"Alli… Allison Potter," he corrected himself with a smile. "Alli, I'm whipped," he laughed. "And I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?" He held up a ring. A heart cut diamond surrounded by other tiny diamonds on a gold band. Alli held her breath letting a smile creep onto her lips. She was thankful it was dark otherwise he would see how bright red her cheeks glowed. How Hermione had ever thought that Draco was in any way "bad" she was indefinitely mistaken. Alli had no excuse for Ginny's story at the moment, but she was determined to think of one sooner or later.

"Draco, I think that's the stupidest question you've ever asked me," Alli smiled.

"How so?" Draco asked standing up. Alli took a step towards him. Draco slid the ring on her finger and their lips touched ever so slightly. A shock suddenly hit Alli. Her forehead exploded and she fell to the ground writhing in pain. "Alli?!"

"Thank you, Draco. You've been most helpful." Alli's cries echoed throughout the forest. Voldemort emerged from the shadows walking slowly over to Alli. Draco's breath grew shallow. "I'm surprised, Miss Potter," Voldemort hissed. "You're much weaker than I had expected." With a flick of his wand, Voldemort sent Alli flying. She hit a tree and fell to the ground again. Draco exploded.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!"

Voldemort turned on Draco. Draco clenched his teeth angrily.

"Such fear, I sense in you, Draco. I would have expected better from you. Crucio!"

Draco fell on the ground, twisting, screaming, writhing in pain. Voldemort screamed a high-pitched laugh. Alli jumped up, ignoring her burning scar. She dove over to Voldemort jumping on his back and digging her fingernails into his head. Voldemort let out a screeching sound. Alli tore at his head making him bleed. Voldemort swung back hitting Alli in the stomach and sending her flying backwards. Draco lay motionless on the ground before Voldemort. Alli sat up using her hands for support. Voldemort stepped closer to her. She backed up running into a tree. Voldemort laughed again.

"So little," Voldemort whispered. He touched his finger to the middle of her head and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear running his finger over her scar. "But such a big problem."

"What do you want with me?"Alli choked through her tears.

"You have so much power," Voldemort whispered in her ear. Alli whimpered.

"Oh, yes. Draco Malfoy. Such a loyal servant, he is."

"He's not working for you anymore!" Alli yelled. Voldemort began to laugh. "He told me--"

"He told you his mission. Gained your trust after he'd blown it by giving it all away to you. He gained your love…that night in the hospital wing," Voldemort recalled. Alli's cheeks flushed.

"How do you know about that?"

"Oh, Draco tells me everything, Allison. He's my right hand man, now. After all, he led you to me. So that I may…" Voldemort put his head on Alli's shoulder, "kill you." Alli swallowed a breath of air.

"You're not really going to--"

"Kill you? Ah, maybe not right away."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, Severus has just been getting you prepared for me, Miss Potter. After all, you are…" he stroked a long white finger down her throat, "the most beautiful one I've ever had to destroy. And quite frankly, I'm not all that thrilled of having you leave us. So, maybe, I'll just keep you alive. Maybe just for the pleasure. Just for my followers and I. Would you like that, Allison?" Alli drew shallow breaths, licking her dry lips. "Or maybe I'll just kill you," Voldemort said putting his wand on her throat.

"Draco," Alli croaked.

"He lied to you, Allison. It was just a game. He was using you. Don't continue to be fooled by his plan. It wasn't real," Voldemort pressed. Silent tears streamed down Alli's cheeks.

"I want to say goodbye to him."

"Aww," Voldemort cooed. "Well then, go on, Allison. Say goodbye to him." Voldemort helped her stand up and pushed against her back towards Draco. She ran over to him kneeling by his side.

"Draco," she whispered urgently. "Draco, wake up!" Alli shook him. Draco stirred and opened his eyes. "Please! Please tell him it's not true! Draco, please!" Alli slung her arms around his neck. Draco hugged her.

"What's not true?" Draco whispered.

"Please, tell me you love me!" Alli cried.

"Nobody loves you," Voldemort said.

"Please, tell me you love me!"

"Alli…" Draco whispered.

"TELL ME!!"

"Grab the portkey!" Draco yelled pushing Alli off him.

"What portkey?!"

Draco clambered over to the flowers and took hold of a glowing bright purple flower.

"Alli!!"

"Avada Kedavra!"
