"Forget it," Cassiyd said briskly, turning on her heel and leaving. "From what I just heard, you aren't worth it."

She left him, feeling no remorse. For all she had tried to let him back in, he would not meet her halfway. And that was fine with her. She would never ask Karli to choose. She would step out of the picture before she asked Karli to do such a horrible thing.

Making her way back to the dance, her ambition to return to the Great Hall left her. She was not in a comfortable state of mind at the moment, and did not want to ruin her friends' good time by being miserable. Besides, her emotions did not matter. They were simple, worldly things, things she would leave behind her when her time came to pass. In the grand scheme, her thoughts, her body, her mind was small. She was not signifficant, and at the time she thought that, she knew it was not true.

Together with the people she loved, combining her great, strong love with those around her who loved her back made her life signifficant, because she could affect the lives of others. She had tried to offer that kind of exchange with Johann just now, but she could see that he was too emotional, and too negatively emotional at that, to accept her offer.

"I should probably tell Tim that I am not coming back to the dance," she told herself quietly, and entered the Great Hall. She found Tim quickly, and told him she had to go.

"Did Johann mess with you again?" he asked, concerned. "When will he learn?"

"No...it's not that," she told him, trying to smile, but failing miserably. "I've just got...some stuff to work out. I hope you understand..."

She turned to leave, feeling badly for leaving Tim like this, but she had to think, to sit down somehwere quiet and sort things out. Her face stioc, and devoid of emotion once more, Cassidy made her way up to Gryffindor Tower to change out of her dress, and go somewhere to meditate.

***

Andrew caught Berii as she drifted off to sleep. Suprised, his eyes grew wide. He swept her up gently in his arms, carrying her like a baby, and making sure to cradle her head carefully on his shoulder. He carried her upstairs to Gryiifindor Tower, and set her on a couch, looking at her worriedly.

"Berii?" he said softly, his voice shaking. "Berii...can you hear me?"

Once I got back to the Great Hall, I transformed. I sat down, and drifted into thought....

That wasn't you was that Johann? Flame asked worried.

"No it wasn't, that was my other half, I call him my middle name, Sebastian. He just came out the first sign of her voice. I was too busy with Christmas I for got about the potion." I said sarrowful.

A hiss came from my mouth and then a dark voice spoke, "Cassidy isn't worth our time, she doesn't deserve even what she has now, if it was me."

Flame bared his teeth and growled, TAKE THAT BACK! IF YOU DON'T I WILL MAKE YOU!

"Why should I dragon? I'm stronger than you." Sebastian said confidently.

I wouldn't be too sure if I were you! Flame said.

I yelled out, trying to gain back control. When I finally felt in control I started to cry, "I'm sorry Flame! What have I done!" I said sobbing.

It's okay, I knew that wasn't you, I'm not mad at you. But you should go get things straighten out with Cassidy now. Flame said softly.

I dryed my eyes and nodded. Good. Flame replied to my nod.

"I'll go now." I said picking myself up off the floor and headed back into the castle.

Time quickly passed, and the dance was nearly over. I got up, and went slowly up to the Common Room. Once I got there, I went up to the dorm, changed, and went to bed.

The cold air against her bare neck was refreshing, instead of biting. Cassidy closed her eyes tightly, unafraid of the freezing weather that taunted her skin. She sat on a wide, stone railing that looked out over a courtyard on the east side of the castle. She breathed deeply, relaxing her thoughts, and drifted into a strange state of conciousness. She could feel everything around her, and nothing at the same time. Devoid completely of emotion here, through meditation, she could achieve what her human mind and body could not.

Something rippled the stillness around her, as if a leaf had landed in a still pond. Some snow drifted about her face, blown by the bitter wind that she did not feel. Clad in only her karate uniform, her bare feet tucked safely under her legs, she kept her eyes closed, but focused ont he ripple...

She knew that feeling, but it was somehow different. Changed by some kind of darkness she could not shape with her mind. The darkness had no face, it had no form, no feeling, except a deep and piercing hatred. This great darkness within a boy...someone the same age as herself, and he had no control over it...no idea of the power it held. For the first time since her meditation began, she shuddered, but not from the cold. The scar on her side became a ripping sensation.

"Johann??" she spun around, snapping out of her meditative position, and turning to look at him as he passed. She was not sure if he had heard her, so she stepped off the railing and returned inside the school. "Johann?" she called again.

"I'm right here." I said, my voice coming from behind her, it wasn't the nasty tone I had used back in the courtyard., it was a soft and gentle voice. "What do you need?" I asked curiously.

"I was looking for you. I just wanted to say that I didn't mean to snap at you back there. That wasn't me at all, that was my other half. I call him by my middle name, Sebastian. He's a very powerful and hateful person. I was taking a potion made by snape, but I forgot to take it today. That's why I have sudden mood swings. I'm sorry if you took anything I said offensive." I said walking up to her.

I read her mind, without her knowing, and then I said, "Yes I know I have a great power inside of me, and I know exactly how powerful it is. I also know he is one of the greatest evils and that's why I've been burden with him. It's a very long story about how Sebastian came to be."

Cassidy looked at him, a little disturbed that he had invaded her thoughts, but in order to make ammends, she let it slide. She looked at him, her face without emotion, her body between relaxed and tense.

"There is a way to control that other half," she told him softly, the crinkle of her gi could be heard softly echoing in the hall as she walked closer to him, no longer afraid. "My darkness, which I believe to be associated with the Chimeara scrape on my side-" seh lifted her gi slightly to show him the long, deep scar that ran from just above her bottom left rip and past the waist of her pants. She dropped the fabric back down to cover her side. "-and was inflicted by a dark wizzard, though I do not know who. That's besides the point. There is a way to keep it in cheque, no matter if it is a separate 'half' or not. If you want, I can show you, but it comes with a great price, one I didn't know I would have to pay. You have the right to know before you accept or decline..."

She trailed off, reading his expression as best she could. Cassidy's face was pale in the moonlight, and she was even more emotionless since she had been meditating only a few moments ago. She waited to hear what he would have to say before she told him the rest.

Berii was dreaming again, about the little incident. She hated it, she didn't even knew the kids, or did she?

"Berii...can you hear me?" A voice said.

Berii tried to open her eyes but it was too painful. "I'm okay, A-Andy. I'll just rest, okay?" she said weakly and smiled a forced smile, her eyes still closed. "Don't worry, it's...just...a fever. When I wake up after this nap, I'll be full of energy." she laughed softly.

She didn't want to go to sleep, she didn't want to see the man again, she was too scared. Scared? No, it wasn't the word.

Andrew wasn't sure what to do, but something in the way Berii tried to assure him that she was alright didn't feel right at all. He went upstairs to the boys' bathroom, and woaked a washcloth in cold water, filling a pitcher with cold water as well. He returned downstairs to the Common Room to find Berii still there, sound asleep.

She looked incredibly feverish, and Andrew did not hesitate to put the cold cloth on her forehead. He sat by her side on the floor by the couch, holding her hand reassuringly.

"It's alright, Berii," he told her, and dipped the cloth in cold water once again. He placed it on her forehead gingerly. "You'll be okay."

She's trying to make you control your power! How dare she! Sabastian hissed in my mind. He kept repeating this. I fought to hold my control over my own body. After I was certain I subdued Sebastian I said softly smiling, "I'm not one to take help. I can handle him by myself, since I was entrusted to with the keeper of his soul. He is not my darkness. Sebastian was a real evil and demented wizard ages apon ages ago, his stories lost in history. And since the ministry caught his spirit they gave it to me. So now I'm in posession of him now. And I meditate everyday to keep a stone wall and box him in as much as possible. But I forgot about it today, being christmas and all. But I guess in order to become friends, I must reach out for help with this. So before I agree to anything, tell me what I must do and tell me the price." I said this still with kindness in my voice and a soft expression on my face.

Cassidy felt her mask crumbling for a moment, but it built up again without much difficulty. She thought of the price she had paid, the price she was still paying, and the price she would continue to pay for the rest of her life.

"My father trained Andrew and I in martial arts when I was younger," she told him slowly. "I was really eager to learn, and in the beginning, Andrew was also. My father, being the harsh man with high expectations that he is, demanded a lot of physical strength out of both of us. But the worst was mental discipline. He could be quite effective when he spoke to us. He told us of the dangers life would hand to us, especially since we also possessed magic. He pushed us very hard, beyond the breaking point. He broke Andrew when Andy was five years old. He went up one side of him and down the other, yelling at him, telling him how badly he had done, and why couldn't he be more like me."

Cassidy paused, and looked down for a moment. When her face rose to meet Johann's gaze once more, her expression was unchanged, but her eyes held something that could not be defined. It was such an extreme emotion, something so far beyond human reach, that no one could define it.

"I overcame my father's brutal nature by ridding myself of emotion, completely," she told Johann. "I have always been able to do what Andrew could not. Whether it was physical, like sparring, magical, like spell casting and potion making, or emotional, like what I have done to myself."

She looked at him coldly.

"Being here, where I am exposed to the emotions of others more than I was when I lived in Japan, it has been really hard to keep my emotions away. Getting along with so many people, and getting involved in their lives has allowed me to experience positive emotions, but the negative are returning as well. I have been working hard to maintain control," she told him coldly, her lips set in a grim line. "Because if you want to rid yourself completely of darkness, completely of hate, completely of everything that constitutes anger, you have to abandon the good emotions also."

Her face softened slightly, her face and hair white in the moonlight, and she could have sworn she felt a part of her die.

"It has been hard," she admitted. "Especially with Tim. I can't allow myself to get attatched. I will do anything for my friends, but I cannot let my emotions interfere. If they do, I am subject to outbursts of anger that I have also tried to control. I'm sure you've seen them..."

She trailed off once again, not sure of what to say. She decided to just sum it up.

"The price is your emotions, all of them, good as well as bad, to keep the evil spirit inside of you at bay," she told him, and awaited his response with a great gloom leering over her.

As soon as Berii felt the cold cloth on her forehead, her breathing slowly returned to normal. She opened her eyes slightly and saw half of Andy's face.

"You'll be okay." she heard him reassure.

"I...know. I told you that, 'member?" she said, her voice sounded like the voice of a child.

She felt his hand holding hers so she tightned her grip. "Your hand is cold...It feels good." she said, putting his hand on her cheek. "I'll just sleep again, okay?"

She wanted to be healed, never before had she felt so helpless. She didn't want to bother anyone anymore.

"O-okay...." Andrew said, nervously. He cooled the cloth onve more in the pitcher, and replaced it on her head.

Feeling rather sleepy, Andrew closed his eyes. He shifted his weight a little from his sitting position on the floor, and leaned his head back against the red, worn-out couch, and was soon fast asleep. With his hand still pressed to Berii's cheek, he let out a deep sigh, feeling a deep slumber overcome him...

OOC: Okay, I SO have to draw a picture of that! It's so cute!!! ^^

Once I had fallen asleep, I started to dream. But it wasnt a bad dream it was a good dream.

I dreamed that I was flying over a meadow (as a falcon) and my friends were all running below me. Johann was riding on Flame. Everybody was happy, it was weird....

I then woke with a start. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Cassidy still hadnt arrived for bed. I quickly transformed, and flew around the castle. I soon found Cassidy and Johann talking. I perched on a light, so that they couldnt see me. I claws hit the light and made a large "click" sound.

My eyes darkened but my face was in a smirk. I took a few more steps toward her. And stopped, my face lightened and I smiled gently, it was obvious I was still struggling with Sebastian. "How about a deal?" I said with a little laugh. "You help me with wiping my thoughts from emotions. And I help you control your emotions. Cause you seem to be at the extreme, your thoughts and mind should be filled with emotions. You shouldn't have to get rid of them to become strong mentally and physically. Controlling your emotions is a better ethnic than getting rid of them."

I paused to sigh and said even more friendly, "Now let me tell you about my father, afterall it's only fair." I continued, "My father, being a dragonrider, has to have whatever personality his dragon has, so dragonriders have random personalities, often they become a mirror image of their dragons personality. Cherry, my fathers dragon, is a very ficious and dangerous dragon. She holds nothing back, everything she does it's for the safety of all of her family, including me and my father and a few other humans. Cherry is also a very stubborn and very mean dragon, although once you get to know her and she trust you more she'll lighten up. As you can tell my father isn't exactly like that, but he's getting there." I paused to take in the clear night, then I said, "Well, in my dragon fighting training this year, he pushed me harder, and each time I met the challenge. And when I couldn't I let Sebastian help, which was a big mistake, cause I adventually started to depend on him to win my fights. So we ended the training to do mental training, of course school came around and it interupted my training. So I continue it independantly. Which you can tell isn't going too well."

I just realized that I lead both of us outside and back to the courtyard. I took a deep breath of cool fresh air, and looked around. "I'll take you up on your offer but we keep it up until I see fit. Then I'm done." I then looked up at the sky and said, "IT'S MORNING!" I laughed hard and fell down in laughter, "We've been talking almost the whole night!" I said. "Well I'm going to go get myself breakfast. It's funny I don't feel tired." I shrugged and went into the great hall.

"Sounds like a deal," Skye agreed. She was still barefoot, her feet now on the snow in the coutyard, but of course she did not feel it. She looked at Johann. "I wish we had spoken sooner. We probably could have avoided the whole fight we had."

She yawned and stretched, watching the sun as it peeked over the horizon.

"Have fun at breakfast," she said, her voice as cold as the air and snow around her. There was no bitterness, no anger, only a lack of feeling. "I'm going to go to bed, I think. Good bye."

She turned and left, bringing herself to the Gryffindor Tower, and practically passing out on her bed. She fell into a deep sleep, and did not awaken until mid-afternoon.

At the Great Hall I met Jane and Will, who were still enjoying their new found love. I sat beside them and found that I felt like I could run around the castle 500 times and still have plenty of energy to fight off 1000 dragons, although that was way beyond my reaches that's how I felt. "You two make a great couple!" I said laughing at their dazed faces as they looked at one another.

Will was the first to shake out of the daze, "You think so?" He said blushing.

"I nodded shoving a peice of frrench toast into my mouth.

I woke up the next morning in a great mood. I got ready, and went down to the Great Hall. I went over to thr Gryffindor Table, and sat down. I started eating my toast, and pulled out my new quill and parchment. I began to do my essay on Boggarts for DADA.

"I see your in a great mood. Did you get a good nights sleep?" Jane asked.

"No, I stayed up all night. But I'm in a great mood." I said smiling.

"really? Your not tired?" Will said alittle concerned.

"Actually I feel great, never felt better although I've been up for 24 hours." I said laughing. I then got out a peice of parchment and a quil and started on my essay on Dragons for Defense against the dark arts.

Will and Jane exchanged worried looks and Will was the first to say, "Are you feeling okay?"

"Why?" I said as I began writing, and taking out the book on dragons Batesy gave me.

"Your doing you essay! And it's not even due until next week. You normally do it the last day." Jane said supprised.

"That does seem strange, strange things have been happening ever since the dance." I said shrugging. I finished my essay in under 10 minutes and didn't give a second thought to it. While Jane and Will took the paper quickly and read through it carefully, trying to find mistakes.

When they put it down their faces were priceless, I laughed loudly and said, "What is it that awful?"

"IT'S BRILLANT!" Jane said alittle too loudly. "You did this in all of 10 minutes!"

"9 minutes, 47 seconds, and 5 milli-seconds to be percise." I corrected her. Wait! How did I know that.....I wasn't even counting the time, and it felt like hours flew by before I was done with that essay. I thought as I caught on to what they were talking about, although I was equally surprised.

"Are you sure your okay?" Jane said.

"OH!" I said, but it wasn't me, it was Flame. I forgot about the bet. I felt my hair it was spiked with red hightlights through it signalling that our spirits had molded. I laughed and they both looked at me with a confused expression. I explained the whole bet to them. "Well see you two later, Flame has my body for today." I said smiling.

They both laughed and shook their heads, "See ya tomorrow." Will finally said.

In a blink of an eye my hair was completely spiked and was a flaming red color. My eyebrows grew pitch black, and my fingernails turned black, and my muscles buldged more than they normally did. My green eyes, turned to a red color and my smile turned more gentle and more forgiving than I could ever make it.

Jane threw her hand out in front of her and said, "You must be Flame, I only met you as a dragon, so I've never talked to you."

Flame shook her hand and said, "I have never talked to you either, you must be the loyal Jane." He kissed the back of her hand and then turned to Will. "Ah! You must be his best friend Will." Flame said happily.

"Yes I am. I'm glad to finally meet you in person." Will said chuckling at the irony of the dragon being human and meeting him in person. Flame got the joke and laughed too. Flame smiled showing two fanged teeth like a vampires.

"If I didn't know you were a dragon I would have thought you a vampirre with those fangs." Jane added for added humor.

Although Flame took that as an insult he just kept the same gentle and forgiving expression on his face. "I see you like my report." Flame said smiling still.

"Yeah it's very good. Well it would be with your wisdom. I've heard that dragons are the wisest of all animals, including humans." Jane said interested.

"That we are." Flame said glad that she complimented him after the insult.

Flame then noticed Karli, he walked over to her and said, "Hey, we met once before this year, wasn't a very good one though. I'm sorry for any trouble I might have caused." He then looked at the parchment and without reading it Flame said to Karli, "You need help on your essay on Boggarts?"

Cassidy woke, rubbing her eyes tiredly. The sun was setting, and the room was a little chilly as she put her feet on the stone floor. Her hair a mess, she walked to the bathroom, and took a hot shower. She scrubbed and scrubbed at her body, snd somehow, just didn't feel clean. She was not at peace with herself at all, especially after last night. The things she had said, about giving up emotions, not being able to feel, they frightened her, but the cut on her side seared with pain, and she was reminded once again why she had to keep herself in check.

She wrapped a fluffy, white towel around her, and stepped out of the shower. Normally, she didn't bother with looking at herself in the mirror, but for some reason, she felt compelled to. Wiping the condensed steam from the mirror over the sink, she looked at her face, which stared back blankly.

What had she become? In order to conquer this evil that had come to live within herself, she had given up everything that made her human. She crinkled her nose, remembering the words the strange man had said to her:

"You're only human, after all."

She could not allow herself to give in to his ideals. More than anything, she wanted to be beyond human, to vanquish evil without worry. More than anything, she wanted to be at peace with who she was.

So many of the students in Japan called her cold, distant, anti-social. She was all these things, despite her best efforts to change here at Hogwarts. She wanted the best of both worlds, wanted to feel everything positive, and push the negative aside.

Tearing herself away from the fogged-up mirror, she returned to her room and got dressed. She pulled on a pair of dark blue jean flares, and a black shirt. She put her wand into her pocket, feeling uneasy, and walked downstairs. She had a bunch of homework to do over the holiday break, but she did not feel like doing it today.

Instead, she sat down by the fire, in her favorite chair. Fixing her eyes on the flames in the hearth, she felt warmth wash over her face.

But it could not penetrate past that.

She curled up in the chair, hugging her knees. She knew this battle with the darkness around her and within her was far from over, despite how dormant it was lying for the time being. She continued to watch the flames for a little longer, half-wishing she could feel the same warmth within her soul.

OOC: Wow....I guess that was kind of dark....O_o
Sometimes you are tired.
Sometimes you are hungry.
Sometimes you are angry.
Sometimes you just don't think you have it in you.
Those are the days.
Those are the most important days.
Those are the days when you need it most.
Those are the days that you want it most.
Those are the days you have the most.

Meanwhile, I was in Flames body. I soared freely and then for the first time noticed different voices whispering inside my head. They were the thoughts of all the people in Hogwarts, it took me awhile to comprehend this fact but if I focused I could tell which voice belonged to who. I wonder... I said, of course each time I spoke it was through thought. I focused and tryed to block them, but I found a weakness in dragons, they couldn't block their minds. I then focused in on Cassidy's thoughts, all I felt was sarrow from her mind, deep in sarrow and a hidden darkness locked in her mind. I was also very cold like she was trapped inside her own mind and locked herself away. Poor Cassidy... I said to myself. I tear escaped my eye, which was the dragons eyes. I have all the powers dragons have! That means my tears heal, and bring mental strength back and happiness.

I then focused harder on her mind until I was linked to it so I could talk to her. Cassidy it's me Johann! I said to her, I explained the bet I made with Flame and then said, Now that I'm a dragon for a day, I found a way to cure your emptiness! Dragon tears heal the soul and make it strong and happy. So your mind will be strong enough to block the darkness, but you'll be happy and be able to show all emotion.

Then it came to me, they're was a price, but not as pricey as locking away your emotions, There is a condition for this to take effect on a human. I must feel strongly about the person, that means love, and the other person must feel the same way about me. So I don't think it would work on you... unless your willing to love. But I'm not asking you to love me...that that's the only way to cure you... I explained. The choice is yours. YOu could focus on loving me for a short time while I cure you, then get rid of the thought, that would work. But you must choose... I added to Cassidy. Then I waited for her choice.

Berii slowly opened her eyes. She still had a fever but it will be healed in no time. She just noticed that Andy's hand was still in her cheek, she smiled softly then carefully removed his hand. She stood up and walked to the bathroom as quietly as she can so she can take a bath.

Once she was done, she dressed up and brushed her hair. She looked at the mirror, satisfied. She walked down the stairs and sat on the couch she had slept in. She looked at Andy, she couldn't be anymore grateful.

After the dance, it was...... Boring. Nothing to do, just sitting around, reading....
I had just opened up the rest of my presents, and now was bored to DEATH.

OOC: Oh, sorry, lost track. ^^;
That was sort of to make up for me not being here yesterday, I guess...

BIC: The next day, at brekfast, I found myself equally bored, like the other afternoon, and was now stiring my cereal around with a spoon, watching the magical Alphabet cereal form random words, like BLUG BLUG and CHICKEN FEET.
The dye had now washed out, so I was just plain dirty-blonde now.
Wait.
Correction: Silvery-blonde. And I DO NOT LIKE IT AT ALL!!
I look like a freak.
I mean, I already have DARK LAVENDER eyes, now SILVERY-BLONDE hair.
Great...
I'll have to ask Prof. Flitwick about this....
