Forever And Always **Sequel to From Two Different Worlds**

Something's Different..

"Let me go Bellatrix!" I shrieked. That just made her push harder. Slowly I was being inched towards the door. I was halfway through the door, my legs already through. I looked up and saw Lily and James and Remus  in the distance, looking down on me with worried expression.

"Just give in already!" Bellatrix shrieked. With a hard push with my arms, Bellatrix and I tumbled backwards, hitting the floor, the doorway a few feet away. I pulled out my wand and shot a curse at Bellatrix. She disintegrated and the remains of blue haze flew through the Hell door. I walked through the Back To Earth door and appeared in the hospital wing, where I collapsed on the floor.

"Good Heavens! Are you alright Maddie?" Madame Pomfrey cried. Never in my undead life, have I actually felt physically tired.

"I'm just. a little.. tired." I mumbled. I layed on the floor and felt a hand on my back.

"Arabella's ok." Toby whispered. I nodded and closed my eyes. I layed there for a while, when I snapped my eyes open.

"Fred.. Shit.. shit.. Fred!" I mumbled, I picked up my wand and locked eyes with McGonagall.

"I insist you lay down." She commented.

"I will.. I need to check something first." I replied hastily. I orbed from the castle all the way to the Burrow.. which let me tell you.. drained what remaining energy I had left. Molly was in the kitchen, cleaning a large pan. "Molly, where's Fred?"

"Maddie! You gave me a fright! Anyway, Fred's at your house-" And with that, I orbed to our house. I flew threw the front door and searched around.

"Fred? Fred! Where are you!" I shouted. I listened to the still and quiet house for any sound. "Fred!" I shouted again. This time I heard something, a very small groan as if someone was in pain. I glided up the stairs and checked the rooms. I let out a strangled cry when I entered the master bedroom. Fred was laying on the ground, a blood stains splotched here and there along his legs, his jeans ripped and clawed as if an animal attacked it.

"Help me.." He moaned. I raced towards him and took out my wand. I muttered spells and incantations, hoping to save Fred. He cried out in pain many times, clutching the rug he was laying on. After what felt like hours, I used every spell I knew to fix Fred up. After the first ten minutes of being in pain, he sort of fainted, so he layed there motionless.

"I'm sorry Fred. I didn't mean for this to happen.." I cried.  I gripped his coat he was wearing and buried my head into his chest, longing to feel the warmth of life instead of the everlasting chill of death.

For the first time in a decade, I fell asleep.

I woke up to the soft humming emitting from Fred. "Good morning Maddie." He chuckled when he realized I was awake. I scrambled up from the floor, allowing him to sit up. "Do you know what happened last night?" He asked seriously.

"Well I'll tell you what happened to me when you tell me what happened to you." I replied. He scratched his head and took a deep breath.

"Well I finished closing up the shop and I headed home. I made myself some dinner, practiced some magic, cause I'm a little rusty, and then walked upstairs to go to bed. I remember I just brushed my teeth when my legs felt like they were on fire! I felt invisible forces clawing at me and I just fell to the floor, helpless. It felt like Hell was trying to pull me in. But then it all stopped. And then you showed up." He exclaimed.

"Oh no. No no no!" I mumbled. He looked up at me with concern.

"Maddie, what's wrong?" He asked.

"I nearly killed you!" I shouted. He cocked his head to the side and I ran my fingers down my face. "Last night Bellatrix showed up and nearly pushed me through the door to Heaven-"

"That's good isn't it?" He interjected. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"No! Remember when I told you that nor Toby and I could go to Heaven? It's because we are attached to you and Arabella's soul! If I go through that door than you will die instantaneously!" That shut him up.

"O-Oh."

"Yea. Now get up! Our daughter is in the infirmary."

After that whole traumatizing experience, it was Christmas eve! Time really flies by when you're living the high road in life. Everyone came over to our house to celebrate my birthday. They all even got me presents, which I thought was very kind. George and Angelina brought over a cake too.

"George, you do know that I don't eat." I commented. Toby giggle madly and I smiled at him. I looked over to George who was grinning wickedly.

"You can't, but I can!" Everyone laughed at this as I watched them indulge into my birthday cake. I don't know why it was so hard to believe that this is my family, I guess I just couldn't get over the thought.

"I hope you are having a right good time Maddie." A voice whispered in my ear. I smiled and looked up at Fred.

"Honey, it's kind of hard to celebrate your day of birth when you're dead." I commented. The whole statement was entirely true.

"Well-" He started, but was soon cut off.

"Maddie, can I talk to you?" Harry asked. I looked at Fred, then to Harry, and then back to Fred. He shrugged and walked out of the room, leaving me and Harry alone.

"What's up Harry?" I asked. He gave me a stern look at sat next to me.

"You're unhappy." He commented. Damn this boy was good.

"I don't-"

"Don't try to deny it. Was it the presents-" I let out a giggle and smiled.

"No Harry, it wasn't the presents. I really appreciate the party you guys threw. It's just- Wait, promise you won't tell Fred?" He nodded. "It's just, you were right in saying that I was unhappy. I love Fred, and Arabella, and you and everyone. It's just that I don't belong here. I belong with Lily and James and Tonks and Remus. I belong with the dead Harry. My time on earth is over, and yet I'm cursed to live this life. Don't get me wrong, I love them with all my heart, but I fell like everything would have been easier if I never received my Hogwarts letter many years ago." I stated.

Harry looked at me reassuringly, and I was grateful for the fact that Fred didn't hear this. Little did I know there was a certain red head listening intently on the other side of the door.
