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

Happy Christmas?

"But look what its doing to you! You've bit off more then you could chew. You are way to stressed out for a fifteen year old girl!" He retorted.

"Easy for you to say! You are a ghost, you don't have to do anything!" I said standing up. I wiped tears from my eyes. "Why are we fighting.." I mumbled. I threw myself on the bed and buried my face in the pillows. "Toby, I just have so many responsibilities that its literally affecting my health. I haven't eat for porbably days, and I'm dead serious." He groaned.

"I hate seeing you like this." He said. "Why don't I get you something to eat, you can change out of your dress and then sleep until tomorrow. " I nodded and he disappeared.

When Toby returned he had a large plate of food and I ate every single bite. I ended up falling asleep on Uncle Ron's bed and had a dreamless sleep.

"Wake up Bella! It's Christmas!" Rose said as she nudged me. I slowly opened my eyes and smiled. "Come on! Everyone's waiting downstairs!" She squeaked before running out the door. I slowly stood up and lazily walked downstairs. My hair was in a bun and I was in leggings and a large shirt. When I reached the bottom floor, I got quite a shock. Elliot was standing there.

"What-?" I stifled. I locked eyes with every single one of my family members before looking at Elliot again. "You foul, loathsome, evil little coachroach! What are you doing here!" I screeched. I saw Aunt Hermione, Uncle Harry and Uncle Ron smirk.

He did't say anything, but unzipped his coat and revelaed his whole torso covered in bandages.

"What on earth happened?" I asked, searching his eyes. He jerked his head towards my family and I nodded. I took his hand and dragged him upstairs. "You guys can start opening presents without me!" I called down to them. I heard a chorus of yes! before I shut the door. Elliot took a seat on the bed and I sat next to him, examinig his torso.

"So what happened?" I asked him gently. He gave me a crooked grin.

"Well after you left to get ready for the ball, some of my Slytherin friends dared me to run through the Forbidden Forest.." He pasued.

"And...?" I urged.

"I was attacked by an animal." He replied. "I don't really know what type of animal it was, all I know is that I would have been busted if McGonagall found out so I just bandaged myelf up and sat in the boat house until I could feel my side again." He finished.

"Oh Elliot.." I said, while grabbing his hand and kissing his foehead. "We should probably get you looked at. Plus your dad and mum must be wondering where you are today." I said. But he just shook his head.

"I don't want people to worry about me. I'm fine, really I am." He said. I gave him a look and he chuckled.

"Let me take a look at it. You know I'm good at healing." He sighed and started to unwrap everything. His side was badly mangled, and flesh was exposed. "I thought you said you healed yourself!" I said, completely exasperated.

"I'm not good at healing spells!" He retorted. I took out my wand and gave him a look.

"I hope I don't get in trouble for this underage magic." I mumbled as I began muttering spells. I saw Elliot tense up as he bit his lip. The flesh began to heal and soon all that was left was a scar.

"I really owe you one." He gasped as he felt up and down his side. I smirked. "Thank you so much." He said as he englufed me in a hug. "Let's go back downstairs. Your family is proabably missing you." He grabbed my hand and dragged me downstairs. We were both stopped in the doorway.

"Stop stop stop!" Rose said while running up to us. We both gave he confused looks. She pointed to the doorway. "Mistletoe!" We both looked up and sure enough, there was a mistletoe.

I heard someone gag and saw Toby, Albus and James making puking faces. I rolled my eyes. "Maybe later." I told Elliot and winked. He turned scarlet. I was about to move forward but found myself unable to. "Alright, who bewitched us?" I was surprised to see my father glaring at Uncle George and Uncle George chuckling..

"It's our latest product! It's a mistletoe that traps anyone under it. The only way to get out of it is to kiss." He said while throwing an arm around Angelina. I rolled my eyes and planted a kiss on Elliot's lips. I felt him smiling and that made me smile. This was our first real kiss, and it felt fantastic!

"Ok, that's enough.." My dad said. I pulled away and I realized we were both scarlet. Dad turned to Elliot. "Would you like to stay for breakfast?" Elliot took a while but foud his words.

"I would love to but my dad's been looking for me." He said. Elliot turned to me, handed me a small box and then walked to our fireplace. "Happy Christmas everyone!" He said before dissapearing in a puff of green flames.

"Now that that love fest is over," Uncle George said smirking at me, "open some presents!"
