Thank you, Connie
Hehe, we'll see if I can change that....
I know, but that's just Draco. She broke his heart, not the other way around... I think he sees it as getting even or something.

SORRY!

Here's the next post!

Alicia watched, gob- smacked, as Emily ran out the Hall. Jamie walked down the table and sat in the empty seat.

“Going to tell me?” He said as Alicia stared at the double doors.

“She shouted at me for having a go at Parkinson…” She said quietly. Jamie put his hand on her shoulder.

“I told you not to get involved... Is that why your hair's black?” He said and Alicia glared at him.

“I don’t want to hear anything to do with her if she wants to shout at me for trying to help… She can sort her own problems out from now on!” Alicia said harshly and Jamie looked at the table.
“Ali, that’s going a bit too far, don’t you think? You two are best friends-” He said as she shook her head.

“We were best friends… And I’m not going too far”
“Yes you are… You miss her already- I can see it on your face. You two share everything-” He glanced at her and stopped.

“FINE! IF YOU WANT TO STICK UP FOR HER, FINE!” People turned to look as Alicia stood up and glared at Jamie. She ran from the room and Jamie followed.

“Alicia! ALICIA!” He shouted and she stopped, turning round as her hair turned light blue. “I’m not sticking up for her- I’m not on anyone’s side!” He said quickly, taking her hand.

“It’s sounded like it…” She said, hugging him tightly.

“Well I’m not… Just remember that I love you, now and forever…” Jamie said, kissing the top of her head.

“I’m sorry…” She whispered and he laughed.

“Now we’ve sorted that out, do you want to see what your parents said? America’s staring at you” She looked up to where Jamie was pointing and sure enough, her snowy owl was looking straight at her through the window. She skipped forwards, opened the glass between them and took the scroll off the owl.


Hope you like it...

New post!

Emily heard the door to the dormitory open, but she didn’t flinch. She hoped beyond hope that it wasn’t Alicia. She was a bit too hard on her. She was just trying to help you, Emily thought with a sigh.

“Emily, are you in there?” Hermione asked quietly.

“Maybe,” Emily said quietly.

“Want to talk about it?” she asked.

“In a hypothetical situation, let’s say that you liked a boy. But this other girl liked him too and her parents had a lot of power, especially when they joined forces with the boy you like’s parents. And his parents were a bit dangerous if you upset them. If Ginny had said something to that other girl, butting into your business, would you get angry?” Emily asked.

Hermione opened the curtain to Emily’s bed and sat at the bottom, by her feet. “I would probably be upset, but not angry necessarily. I would understand that she didn’t mean any harm from it, she’s just being a friend. Now, what is going on? I saw what happened in the Great Hall with Alicia,” Hermione said quietly.

“Was I too hard on her?” Emily asked.

“I think so, Ems. Y’all are best friends. I’m sure she was just doing what she thought was right,” Hermione said.

“Fine, I guess I’ll apologize,” Emily sighed. “Any idea where she is?”

“I’m thinking she’s still in the Great Hall.” Hermione patted her leg and then stood up. “Come on, I’ll walk with you.”

“Okie dokie,” Emily said. They left the confines of the dormitory and headed to the Great Hall. Alicia was reading a letter, Jamie beside her.

Alicia glanced up once, her hair turning black for half a second before turning back to its light blue. “What do you want?” she asked coldly.

“I wanted to apologize, Ali,” Emily said quietly, taking a seat beside her.

“Go ahead, let’s have it,” she shrugged.

“I’m sorry, but I was upset. Lucius being in this isn’t good for anybody,” she whispered so nobody else could hear.

“Well, it’s not like I did that on purpose,” Alicia said, still not meeting Emily’s eyes.

“I know. And I know I overreacted. Please forgive me,” Emily pleaded, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“I’ll think about it,” she said, shrugging off Emily’s hand.

“Alicia, come on,” Emily said.

“Oh, fine, you’re forgiven,” she said with a smile.

“Yay! Okay, so what are we doing today?” she asked Alicia. “Oh, I have to tell you what happened after I stormed out of here! But not in here, we’ll go somewhere else!” Emily said.

Alicia nodded and the two left the table, Alicia’s letter still clutched in her hand. Jamie followed after them.

I just read this in the one go. I would have read it quicker but I haven't been on for a couple of days. Abi and Emily, best writers in the world!!!!!!!(L)

Thanks, Katie! And WELCOME to Now, Forever, and Always

Thank you!

Thanks, Sophie! I'm glad you like the double author thing... It's not confusing, is it?

In the one go? Well... It's not very long- YET! Emily's a better writer than me, that's what I think anyway...

I'll post the next chapter up soon- like, REALLY soon!

P.S- Emily, YOU MISSED!!!!!
:evillaugh

I think you're dillusional. You're the better writer in my opinion.
I will get you. Besdies, you can only stay on base for a certain amount of time, so I hope you're ready to run.

:evillaugh I got you that time!

Stop bickering!!!!
You are both very talented writers!!!!!

She's got a point, Ems...
We act like an old married couple... LOL
That's for tagging me!

“Today… Hmm, well, we are going to talk while Jamie goes and works on his Charms essay” Alicia said as she climbed the staircase. Jamie pulled a face at her back. “And I saw that” Emily laughed as they walked down a corridor, heading for a short- cut.

“So, why can’t I hear what you’re going to talk about?” He asked as they walked towards the Fat Lady. Emily glanced at Alicia’s smooth face.

“Do you really want to talk about make- up and boys with us?” She said, turning and raising an eyebrow at him. He returned the look. “We’ll talk about you if you want… You’re still not going to join us” Emily giggled as Jamie stomped over to the tables by the window. “I want to see that finished by tomorrow, Jamie… Harry and Ron are going to come by later and ask if you want to practice with them…”

Alicia walked up the stairs and into the empty dorm, Emily right behind her.
“Right, spill” Alicia said, hanging over the side of her bed and looking at the red head upside down.

“When I walked out of the Hall, Draco caught my arm and pulled me into an empty room. I asked what he was doing and he just that I looked upset. I didn’t tell him that we’d had a fight. He moved close and I went to tell him that I think I’d made a mistake but he pushed my hair back over my shoulder and said that I shouldn’t do this… That he had moved on… He suggested that I should do the same…” Emily said and Alicia fell onto the floor.

“Remember when we were outside and you asked me if he would take you back?” She asked, going to sit next to her friend.

“Yeah… You said if he was smart he would” She said, frowning as she tried to see where this was going.

“I think we just found out that Draco Malfoy is as smart as this pillow… He doesn’t know what he’s missing, Ems- you’re funny and beautiful and any boy would be an idiot to let you go” Alicia said, hugging her shoulders slightly. Emily giggled lightly and then sighed.

“Alicia… What am I going to do? He’s all I want but all that I can’t have” Emily said quietly and Alicia bit her lip.

“I know how you feel about him, Ems… You love Malfoy just as much as I love Jamie… I need him and he needs me- Malfoy will probably wake up tomorrow and realise that he needs you in his life just as much as you need him” Alicia said, standing up and walking to her trunk. She rummaged around for a second before straightening back up. “Here… I want you to have this…” Alicia threw something small at Emily, who caught it

“Aw, thanks, Ali!” Emily said as she looked at the little heart pendant, hanging on a fine gold chain, laying in her hand.

“My brother, Emmett, brought it for me when I had my first vision of Jamie… I think it helped me find him… So now it will help you find the man of your dreams- even if it is Malfoy” Alicia said, hanging over the side of her bed again as her hair turned a bright pink.

Enjoy, my lovlies...

:O Iv missed sooo much :| PAMS PAMS PAMS !!!!!!!

I liked it alot lovely Abi!!!!
I'm glad you agree with me about the bickering!!!

Ems is lovely, Draco should take her back!!! In MYUTM I like Draco when he is nice but I didn't like him in the actual books. Emily made him a gentleman.

Hello Abi! I truely loved this post. You make Alicia such a compassionate person. She always has the most wonderful comforting way of helping Emily. You make her a remarkable young woman, and I would loved to have had her be my friend when I was in school! I'll be watching for the next post.

Hehe, bickering's fun Awe man! Abi, you caught me! Here's the next post!

An owl caught Emily’s eye. It was soaring down from the sky and into the girls’ dormitory. The owl landed on Alicia’s bed. Emily stared at it with wonderment. It was Drakkon, but what would he want with Alicia?

“It has my name on it,” Alicia said, waking Emily from her reverie. The dormitory was empty except for the two. Everyone else was down in the Common Room. Emily stared at Alicia as she opened the letter. Drakkon had flown off after she detached the letter. Alicia read it aloud.

Alicia,
Hi, love; meet me on North Tower at midnight.
Now and Forever,
You Know Who

Alicia looked up with a smile on her face. Emily didn’t know what to think. Maybe Jamie couldn’t find any other owl and borrowed Draco’s, Emily thought. Emily gave Alicia a small smile.

“It’s eleven-thirty,” Alicia said, looking at her alarm clock. “I have to get ready!” she said happily. Emily let her soak in her happiness as she sulked. Emily had received many letters from that very owl.

*~*
Alicia sneaked out at 11:55 PM. She found herself on the North Tower before Jamie. Alicia leaned over the balcony as her hair swayed in the breeze. She heard footsteps behind her, but didn’t move. Arms wrapped around her waist and she closed her eyes. She twisted in his arms, eyes still closed, and kissed him passionately. But this kiss felt wrong against these lips. They were far too silky, and his breath was far too sweet. Alicia panicked. The boy she was kissing was not her Jamie.

Alicia pushed her arms against the mystery man’s chest feebly. He finally broke lose, a malicious grin on his pale face.

“Dr-Draco M-Malfoy?” Alicia stuttered.

Draco laughed quietly. “Yes, love,” he whispered.

“It—it was you?” she asked, shocked.

Draco didn’t answer. He didn’t even give her time to get angry or upset. He gave her a quick smirk and then left.

Alicia stayed rooted to the spot, in complete shock. Ten or fifteen minutes later, Alicia wasn’t quite sure, she heard more footsteps. Jamie and Emily rounded the corner and ran to Alicia.

“Alicia, are you okay? What happened?” Emily asked seriously.

Through choked whispers, Alicia told Emily and Jamie what happened. Jamie was furious, and Emily was between a mixture of fury and pain. Emily and Jamie explained how they found each other in the Common Room and how he had not sent the letter. Emily figured out the rest, and they came after Alicia. And then the accusations started.

“How would he know about Now and Forever, Alicia?” Jamie accused.

Emily looked up, feeling as if she was about to be sick. She raised her hand slightly and Jamie and Alicia just stared at her. Alicia shook her head a fraction. “That would be my fault, Jamie,” Emily whispered shakily.

“What? How would that be your fault?” Jamie asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Because, Jamie—” Emily started. Alicia stared at her in horror. But Emily knew it was time to tell the truth. “Because, Jamie, I dated Draco Malfoy, and I fell in love with him, and we had a conversation about it once.” Emily couldn’t reach his eyes. The cool air swayed around her, causing her hair to twist in her face. She neatly tucked it behind her ears.

“You—you dated—Draco Malfoy?” he asked slowly. Emily nodded, her eyes on the floor.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner, Jamie, I just—” Emily began.

“—was ashamed, no doubt,” Jamie finished.

Emily looked up, anger rising in her. “I wasn’t ashamed, Jamie Starlight! We didn’t tell anybody because of this reaction! People are so prejudice and cruel and that’s what caused us to break up! Because we knew that if we came out into the open, things would go horribly wrong!” Emily yelled at him. Alicia sat down beside her on the cold concrete steps, trying to console her.

“Well look at what he’s done, Emily! He tricked Alicia! He kissed Alicia!”

“I’m not deaf, Jamie, I heard the story,” Emily said sarcastically.

“How exactly did you tell him about Now and Forever?” Alicia asked quietly.

“Does it even matter?” Jamie asked angrily.

“I was just curious, Jamie! I never got to hear that story!” Alicia said defensively.

“What do you mean by ‘that story’?” Jamie asked, red in the face.

“Well, let’s see, it was our seventh date,” Emily started saying, interrupting Jamie and Alicia. “We were lying in an empty classroom, in each other’s arms,” she said in a daze as she remembered another time completely. “We were talking, just talking...”

“How long do you think we’ll last, Ems?” Draco asked quietly.

“Well, we could be like Alicia and Jamie and last Now and Forever,” Emily replied with a giggle. “I don’t know, how long do you think we’ll last?” Draco said nothing. “How long do you want us to last?”

“Forever,” Draco breathed into her neck. Emily giggled again.

“Forever it is,” Emily said, twisting in Draco’s arms. “Forever and Always,” she whispered as she dipped down and kissed his silky lips.

Emily looked up from her daze. A tear escaped her eyelid as she remembered Draco and the way he made her feel.

“Emily, that story...was just so...sweet,” Alicia finally said.

“Or sickening,” mumbled Jamie.

“Right, well, don’t worry about it, Jamie, Alicia, I’ll talk to him. I think I know why he’s targeting you, Alicia—he wants to make me jealous or something,” Emily sighed.


TAG, ABI!

Abi, she caught you.

Emily, you are epic!!!!!So is this story!!!! I love MYUTM so I obviously love Emily, Draco etc. but with Abi's fabulous characters along with them this story is just awesome!!!!

Beautiful!!Incredible!!!Amazing!!!Spellbinding!!!( running out of adjectives)

(FIRST TO POST)

Awe, thank you, Katie You're too sweet

As she caught me...

"Jamie- you're the most insensitive person I've ever met!" Alicia said as she and Jamie walked back up to the common room. Emily had left them earlier.

"At least I don't go around kissing other people and keeping secrets from others!" Jamie said, stopping and turning to glare at Alicia outside the Fat Lady.

"You heard what we said! He tricked me! The note made me think it was you!" Alicia shouted and the Fat Lady stared at them.

"And you didn't see that coming?" Jamie yelled as Alicia spat the password at the portrait. She clambered through the hole, Jamie following her. "Tell me honestly, do you like him now?"

Alicia slapped him round the face. Everyone turned to stare at them. "How dare you! I love you, Jamie! Malfoy doesn't even compare" Alicia snarled at him. Jamie placed a hand on the bright red hand print on the left side of his face.

"You should of found me when you got that letter!" Jamie said angrily, glaring at the girl in front of him. Her hair was a mixture between black and a silvery grey.

''I thought it was you! How was I to know that he'd found out about Now and Forever!" Alicia screamed at him, tears of fury and hurt in her eyes. "I can't believe that you think I'd go to someone like that! You're so stupid if you think I'd cheat on you with him!"

Harry and Ron saw where this was going and scrambled to their feet, grabbing Alicia as she lunged at Jamie.

"From the look on your face when we found you it seemed that way!" He shouted at her as Harry and Ron made the girl stumble backwards.

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! I HATE YOU, JAMIE STARLIGHT!" Alicia screamed as she fought against Harry and Ron.

"THAT'S SORTED IT THEN, HASN'T IT! WE'RE DONE, ALICIA! IT'S OVER!" Jamie shouted and Alicia stopped struggling. Whispers flew round the common room as Jamie vanished up the stairs. Alicia winced as the boys' dorm slammed upstairs.

D,
We need to talk. Meet me in our spot at midnight.
~E

Emily tied the letter to Bluejeans’ leg and he flew off. She watched her snowy owl soar through the night sky. She glanced up at the stars. They were bright tonight. Emily leaned against the open window, soaking in the breeze. She rested her chin on her hand and closed her eyes. She glanced behind her as she heard the door open to her dormitory.

“Oh, hello, Hermione,” Emily said quietly.

“Are you okay, Ems?” Hermione asked.

“I’ll be fine. No worries,” Emily smiled slightly. She glanced at her watch. It was eleven-thirty. “Hermione, I’m sorry, but I have to go,” she said as she made for the door.

“Where are you going?” she asked suspiciously.

“I have to go meet...somebody,” she said. Emily walked swiftly from the room before Hermione could question her anymore.

Emily walked through the portrait hole and took a left. She quietly walked down the corridors until she made it to the dungeons. She was surprised that she didn’t run into any trouble seeing as she was out past curfew. She found the abandoned dungeon that used to be occupied nightly by her and Draco.

She shut the door behind her and it echoed off the walls. It felt cold and hollow in their room. She remembered a time when it felt warm and full of love. Emily lit a few of their leftover candles with her wand and found their blankets by their corner. Emily cleaned them off with her wand and snuggled up in them. She felt the silky Slytherin sheet that Draco had given her. She breathed in its scent—it still smelled like him. She frowned slightly, wishing it smelt like mothballs or something. Everything about him, including his scent, made her long for his touch, his love.

She glanced at her watch again. It was five till midnight. He’ll be here soon, Emily thought. She fidgeted in the blankets until she heard the door creak open. There was only one person it could be and it was. Draco came into view, but instead of snuggling up beside her like he used to, he perched himself on top of one of the old, dusty desks.

“Why did you want to meet?” Draco asked with an impassive expression. Emily felt pain as she watched his distance and his coldness.

“We need to talk about your little stunt,” Emily said quietly.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.

“Oh, don’t give me that load of dragon dung! You know bloody well what I’m talking about!” Emily said, exasperated.

“It wasn’t a stunt,” he said quietly.

“Don’t even deny it, Draco! You were trying to make me jealous, and I know it!” Emily said angrily.

“Have you ever thought that maybe I like her?” Draco asked.

“Yes, the thought may have occurred to me, but then I dismissed it,” she said quietly.

“And why is that?” Draco asked quietly as he moved closer to her. Emily stood up warily, her back pressed against the wall.

“Because she’s not your type,” Emily whispered.

“Maybe I’m in the mood for something new, something that won’t turn its back on me,” he whispered.

Emily let a tear escape, but he caught it. He wiped it from her cheek. “Dray, I didn’t—what happened—I just needed—” Emily didn’t know what to say. They had always said Forever and Always, and then she left. He was right—she did turn her back on him. “I’m so sorry,” she whispered.

*~*
“Don’t say it unless you mean it,” Draco whispered. His hand dropped from her cheek and he turned his back on her. She had done it to him. So why couldn’t he do it to her?

“Draco, wait!” she yelled after him. But he didn’t wait. He kept walking. Draco made a decision then and there that he wasn’t dropping his infatuation with Alicia. Emily didn’t want to be with him—she chose that. Forever and Always was dead, no more. Draco slammed the door to the dungeon shut and stalked back to the Slytherin Common Room.

“Hey, Draco, where have you been all night?” Pansy purred as he sat down in one of the armchairs.

“Just out,” Draco snapped.

“You look stressed. How about a massage?” she asked seductively. Draco noticed that her seduction was about as seductive as a pig at mealtime.

He hated his father for this. Pansy Parkinson was destined to marry Draco Malfoy because his stupid prat of a father said so. Draco wanted nothing to do with Pansy; he would much rather somebody else be in his company. But he ruined those chances about five minutes ago.

Pansy moved to the back of the chair and started rubbing Draco’s shoulders. It wasn’t relieving or nice at all. Getting annoyed, Draco stood up quickly.

“I’m not much in the mood for a back rub, Pansy. I’m going to bed,” he said harshly as he walked past her and into his room. He closed the curtains around his bed and lay back against his pillows.

Draco thought about the look on Emily’s face when she was spluttering about how she was sorry. Her eyes held the pain she would never admit to. Draco fell asleep, imagining the warmth of her body against his as they snuggled up, the scent of her hair as he played with her red curls, and the sweet sound of her voice as she whispered in his ear. It was the good old days that he dreamt of, the good old days he missed so much. It was the Forever and Always he wished would come back.

Great chapters PAMS PAMS PAMS

PAMS! I'm loving this. You guys are awsome!
PAMS PAMS PAMS!

All right, as I have missed so much from both of you I'll comment to you both if that's alright. Both you girls are doing exceptional writing, and I'm still blown away that two people can write the same story in different points of view, and not mess up at all.
I don't understand why Jamie is so furious with Alicia, when he should be hauling himself over to Draco and breaking his nose!
Great writing the both of you, and I'll be watching for the next post.
