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

Mixed Feelings

"You get to take electives this year!" He squeaked.

"Hooray, more classes." I said sarcastically.

"Told you she would be thrilled." A new yet familiar voice said. My eyes opened so fast and I was face to face with someone. Freaking out about how close we were I raised my right hand and slapped him across the cheek. "Geez Bells!" He whined in pain.

"Elliot! I'm so sorry!" I said breathlessly while throwing my arms around his waist. He hugged me back and it felt comfortable. "I didn't mean too! You kinda surprised me." I said while burrowing into his chest. He laughed and I felt the vibrations on his chest.

"It's fine. And it's nice to see you again." He replied while sitting down across from me. I smiled at him. Teddy sat right next to him and gave him a look.

"Is there anyway you can get that Logan kid in Slytherin to stop picking on me because I'm a metamorphmagus?" He asked. Elliot pondered this for a while before grinning.

"No problem Teddy." He smiled. Teddy beamed at him and then nodded triumphantly.

"I swear the food gets better each year." I groaned as I rubbed my tummy. Madeline, Teddy and Victiore laughed at me. We were in the Great Hall, enjoying the delicious food that Hogwarts has to offer.

"I wish I could eat some of that." A voice said behind me. I whipped out of my chair as fast as I could and smiled madly.

"Toby! I missed you so much!" I grinned. It finally felt like the hole in my heart was complete. He hugged me gently and smiled.

"Look at you! My twin sister, growing up to become a beautiful flower!" He announced, causing most of Gryffindor to giggle. I turned red in the face.

"Toby! Keep it down!" I mumbled. He laughed at me.

"Oh Sir Nicholas!" He called. Nearly Headless Nick came over and floated by Toby. "Sir Nicholas, don't you agree that my beautiful twin sister has blossomed into this elegant flower?" He questioned. My face turned redder and redder.

"Oh she sure has Mr. Weasley!" Sir Nicholas replied heartily.

"Ok, ok! I get it, I'm a freaking flower! Now keep your voices down!" I hissed while sliding into my seat. The two ghosts laughed and disappeared through the ceiling.

Later that night I crawled into my familiar four-poster bed and closed my eyes. "It's good to be home." I mumbled before drifting off into a deep slumber.

I was walking in what looked like the courtyard at Hogwarts but it was in ruins. People were dueling viciously and some were bleeding heavily. Giants stood towering in the middle of the courtyard swinging there long staffs side to side. Dementors were sucking souls of innocent people around me.

"Please don't kill me!" A women said to my right. A younger women, maybe around twenty years old was on the ground, a rather hairy figure standing over her. I didn't exactly hear what the hairy man said but he took his sharp claws and plunged them into her throat.

"Stop! Please!" I screamed when I realized that the women on the ground was my mother. "Someone help me!" I screamed again, trying to reach her but my feet were not moving. Then everything went white. And it was just me and my mum. But she was back in her ghost form. "Mum? Is that really you? Are you alright?" I asked, wiping the tears from my eyes. She nodded and held her arms out.  I ran to her eagerly.

"It really is me sweetie." She whispered while stroking my hair. "I came to talk to you." I sniffled.

"What have you come to talk to me about?" I mumbled. She smiled and looked to her right. I followed her gaze and I saw Elliot in the distance, he was waving to me and my mum. "Elliot? You came to talk to me about him?" I asked and she nodded.

"Sweetie, Elliot will always be with you no matter what and I want you to know that I'll be there too." She said mischievously. She stood up straight and smiled.

"You'll be there? What is 'there?' What do you mean?" I asked genuinely confused. She hugged me tightly again.

"What I mean is I will be at your wedding of course!" She winked and then disappeared. What? Wedding?!

"Mum! Mum! What the-"

"ARABELLA! WAKE UP!" My eyes shot open and I felt extremely light headed. "Arabella? Are you alright?" Madeline asked from my left. To my surprise McGongall was to my right.

"I think I just talked to my mum.." I whispered.

"What do you mean? And what happened to your hair and eyes?" McGonagall asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"What do you mean? What's happened to my hair?" I grabbed a lock of my hair and saw that it was changing from my normal ginger to a dark brown. I picked up a mirror from my nightstand and my eyes were changing from light blue to brown. "What's happening?" I asked them.

"Come on, let's bring you to the Hospital Wing." McGongall suggested. I was really light headed and I really needed to use both of them as support.

"Bells, when you were asleep.. you started screaming." Madelinl exclaimed. "I tried to wake you up but it felt as though there was a forcefield around you. I couldn't reach you! And then you went still and then your hair started changing color.." Her voice trailed off.

McGonagall and Madame Pomfrey laid me in a bed and gave me a potion. I was immediately drowsy. What on earth did my mum mean with Elliot and a wedding?!
