Disclaimer: I dont own Harry Potter or the song at the end- but I do own Elena.
I sat in class, smiling softly. 'I actually kissed her hand,' I thought, remembering what seemed like just minutes ago. It had actually been almost an hour, but when I thought of her, it didn't seem like that long ago.
"Mister Weasley?" I focused back in on the class, and Professor Lupin was looking at me.
"Huh?" Several girls in the back giggled, and I wondered what I missed. Professor Lupin shook his head, softly grinning, and continued teaching. No matter how hard I tried to pay attention, my mind kept drifting off on its own. Finally, the bell rang, and I almost flew out of the room. I was desperate to find her- I don't know where I would start, but I would start somewhere.
{That Night}
"Where are you?!" I called out, looking around desperately, trying to find someone. I began running again, looking around, the panic rising in my chest.
"Hello!" I called out, "Please- I just want to help you!" I ran till I came to the end of the trail. Below me was nothing- a cliff with what seemed to have no bottom. I clung to a tree, to keep from falling; and then I backtracked, and ran the opposite way. Finally, I came to a clearing. There was the object of my running- I knew the instant I saw her- my heart began to calm down.
"Elena!" I exclaimed happily, and ran to her side. Though, the instant I got to her, I knew something was wrong. She slowly lifted her head to mine, and kissed me softly on the lips. When she drew back, I was speechless, and didn't know what to do. Before I could speak, though, she did.
"Help me." Just like that, she began to fade away.
"No!" I yelled," Don't leave me! Please don't go!!"
I woke up in a cold sweat and sat up straight.
"It was just a nightmare," I said softly, wiping my forehead, and then I thought, 'Then why did it seem so life-like?' Sitting there, my left leg bent up, and my arm resting on it, I thought about it. Nothing seemed to fit, so I lay back down, and fell back asleep. Morning came slowly, and I woke up easier than ever- and as I was getting dressed, the nightmare I had that night seemed to pop into place. In record time, I finished getting dressed, grabbed my bag, wand, brushed my hair quickly, and ran down the stairs.
"Hey Geo-"Harry began, but I cut him off.
"Harry- I need the Maruaders Map," I said in a rush.
"Ok," he said, and brought it out of his bag.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," I chanted in a soft rush. The map began to form, and I unfolded it, looking for the one dot. 'I don't see her anywhere on here,' I thought in a panic,' then I'll just go to the one person who knows more about her than anyone could.' I found the second dot, and then muttered the reverse incantation.
"Mischief managed," I glanced up at harry, and said," Thanks." With that, I took off through the door, and toward Dumbledore.
"Professor!" I called out, and saw him turn around. I ran up to him, my hand holding my side- which hurt a lot from the running I had done to get here.
"Yes Mister Weasley?"
"Elena…is in…trouble..." I breathed, trying to catch my breath.
"What do you mean?" he asked softly and politely, taking me off to one side of the hallway. I explained my nightmare last night, and he chuckled.
"It was merely a nightmare, Mister Weasley," he told me.
"No- It wasn't," I argued softly," It felt so life-like. Unlike any nightmare I ever had before. Plus- she said those two words again before she faded away 'Help me'." I was starting to get to him, I saw it. Professor Dumbledore began thinking, and in doing so, he began pacing. Finally, he stopped, and looked at me through his spectacles.
"I haven't been able to find her- is she here?" I ask, and he walks toward me, and places his hand on my shoulder.
"No- she leaves from time to time," he answered truthfully," But if what you saw is her trying to tell you that she needs your help- soon- then you must be prepared. Are you?"
I stood there, thinking. 'Am I prepared?' I thought,' I mean, sure- I want to help her- but I don't know the first thing to do.'
"I don't know Professor," I answered," I don't know where to begin or what to do when I find her or –"
"If you can do this?" he asked, guessing; I nodded sadly. Deep in my heart, I wanted to help Elena, but beneath it all, I didn't know where to start.
"I can't have you leave school- but Winter Break is right around the corner," Professor Dumbledore said," Use your break wisely, Mister Weasley. My only piece of advice: Listen to your heart."
--
I stood on the edge of the clearing, and looked back at the school. '…' I thought, and started to walk away. 'This fight…is to strong for me…I cant do it anymore.' I came into another clearing, and soon, my whole body started shaking. The inner power started to build up, and my knees buckled; I fell to the ground instantly. I clenched my hands, dirt getting under my nails, and I found it hard to breath. 'Need…your…help…' With one last effort, I opened my mouth, but no words came. It felt as though my heart was about to rip into two. I through my head back and silently screamed in pain; then blacked out.
--
I sat at the table, eating breakfast and I heard it. A scream of agony and despair filled my ears, and it sounded like it was coming from right beside me. I quickly looked at Professor Dumbledore, and his eyes told me everything. 'I have to make a decision now, or it'll be too late.'
Here's a song that I think fits with the things going on right now between Elena and George. If you agree- Great! If you dont- thats your opinion.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
you've built a love but that love falls apart
your little piece of heaven turns too dark
listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
the precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
they're swept away and nothing is what is seems
the feeling of belonging to your dreams
listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
and there are voices
that want to be heard
so much to mention
but you can't find the words
the scent of magic
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind
listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
Listen to your heart....mm..mmm
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
Song: Listen to your Heart
