Disclaimer- i dont own Harry Potter- but i do own Elena.

"And Mister Weasley," Professor Dumbledore said, before I left.

"Yes?"

"You have one chance."

The words echoed in my head, even now, a week after they had been spoken. As promised, I have spoken nothing of our conversation, not even to Fred. It hurt me emotionally each time he asked me if I was keeping something from him, and I'd reply with a 'no', but I had promised Dumbledore. It was a promise I had to keep- for my future now depended on my will power to be dependent of my twin- my other half- and rely on myself. I walked through the near empty halls- everyone was outside- enjoying the last bits of autumn. As I walked, I felt as though I was being followed, but I wasn't sure, because each time I turned around- no one would be there.

"Mister Weasley? Shouldn't you be outside with the rest of the students?" I turned and saw Professor McGonagall.

"I actually needed some quiet," I told her," I needed to be alone for a little while as well."

"That's odd for you," Professor McGonagall says, walking towards me," Usually you're always with Fred." I sighed, and nodded; it did feel weird, to be without Fred's company, but like I already said- I needed to rely on myself.

"I'll let you be though," Professor McGonagall told me," Since you don't seem to be causing and ruckus." Nodding, I continued walking slowly, and she disappeared around a corner going the opposite way. As I rounded a corner, I heard somewhat distant voices, and recognized them; it got me wondering, because they were also very excited voices.

"Look at what I found!" Pansy Parkinson was saying, and she held out something in her hand I couldn't see that well from where I was. The Slytherin girls around her all clapped and gasped in delight. 'Obviously some girly item,' I thought, and was about to turn away, when I saw Draco Malfoy take it from her.

"Let me see that," he snapped, and she nodded although he had already taken it from her. He held it up in the air, and it dangled from the chain it was on. 'A locket' I thought.

"Interesting," Draco said thoughtfully, and then began to toss it up in the air and catch it, repeatedly doing this," I'll hold onto this."

"But I found it!" Pansy argued.

"And I don't care," Draco argued.

"Hey- whats on the front?" one of the Slytherin boys asked, looking at it as it was tossed into the air. Draco stopped tossing it and looked at it, and then resumed the tossing.

"A blue engraved E- who cares?" he replied, smirking," It's mine now." 'Elena's!' I gasped, and found myself becoming angered. Before I knew it- oh what am I saying- I knew exactly what I was doing- I walked straight at Draco and grabbed him by the collar, and hoisted him in the air-just a little- with one hand.

"Give Me The Locket- Now," I seethed through my teeth. I must have looked more angered then I felt, because he handed over the locket instantly, and I dropped him on the floor. With that I marched off, leaving the Slytherins their, wondering and watching my retreating back. I held the locket firmly in my hand. Once I was far enough away, I stopped, and breathed deeply. Then, I looked down at my fist; unclenching it, I stared at the locket. I realized I never tried to open it; and curiosity was getting to me. 'They say curiosity kills the cat,' I thought,' well- I'm not a cat, so it won't matter.' My fingers worked at the side of the locket, and finally, it opened. I looked at the inside, and found two things: a picture and an inscription. The picture was of one of the prettiest girls I had ever saw- and it was most definitely Elena as a child. The inscription said: A Daughter is a Precious Jewel to Treasure Forever. Softly, smiling to myself, I closed the locket, and put it inside one of my pockets. 'I'll find a way to give this to you, Elena,' I thought,' To you in person- not through Dumbledore.' I stood there, lost in thoughts, and I didn't hear him until he said something.

"Is there something on your mind that you'd like to discuss, ?" I blinked, and turned around; behind me, standing a few feet back, was Professor Lupin.

"Um..." I said," No- it's alright Professor…Thanks for asking though."

"Very well," Professor Lupin nods," If you change your mind, you know where to find me." He walked back the other way, and again, I was alone.

{The Next Morning}

"Are you coming?" Fred asks, and I look up from my resting spot- I was comfortably lying on my bed, looking at the ceiling. I wanted to say no, but I knew I had to go to class anyway.

"Yea," I nodded, and reluctantly got up; I stretched, and then grabbed my book bag. We walked down stairs, and I realized I had forgotten something.

"I'll be right back!" I called over my shoulder, as I turned and ran back to the room where we slept. Quickly without trying to make a mess, I practically tore through my stuff, and finally remembered the safe place I had put the locket. Rolling my eyes at my foolishness, I touched my neck, and felt the chain. Taking it off, I placed it into my pocket, and headed back downstairs. Fred was waiting at the door, and I joined him; together, we climbed out, and I couldn't believe who was on the outside, waiting- just standing there. 'Elena,' I thought, a smile crossing across my face. She stood there, staring at the floor, avoiding everyone's eyes; I walked up to her without hesitation, and knew people where watching me curiously.

"I believe this belongs to you," I said, reaching into my pocket and pulling out the locket. I could have sworn I heard her say thank you, but I wasn't sure. Slowly, I reached around behind her, turning the locket the right way- with the locket facing out- and clipped it. Then, I softly pulled her hair out, and let it flow over the chain.

"Your welcome," I smiled, and I took her hand softly, and kissed it," Until we meet again- my princess." I gently laid her hand down near her side, and walked away with Fred beside me. 'I can't deny it anymore,' I thought,' I'm irrevocably in love with you, Elena.'

{Elena's POV}

I stood there, the part of my hand where he had kissed, warmer than anywhere. I felt the other students staring at me, but I kept my head down, my eyes on the floor. I couldn't believe it… he actually kissed my hand… I gulped softly, and waited for the halls to clear. Then, I made my way to my safe-room, where I crawled in, and shut the small door behind me. I curled up, my legs against my chest, and my arms around my legs. I lay my head on my knees, and stared off into the pitch black, thinking of him. Then I closed my eyes, and sleep soon found me.
