"I curse you to die if you don't find true love by age eighteen!" My wicked demon said. I felt a jolt of pain in my head, sides, and legs, along with my wrists. He ended the spell and threw me down. I hit the ground hard and hurt my shoulder. I passed out with nothing left in me to fight the pain and dark. It just overtook me, grabbing and pulling for my life, it won.

I pulled my sleeves down as I entered "hogwarts the school of witchcraft and wizardry, where young witches and wizards alike go to fulfill their dreams and destiny." All that was crap now, I knew I'd never be like everyone else, I'm cursed, I was cursed when I was ten. Only ten. This is my sixth year, I'm one of the older kids so I am almost seventeen. One year left. I said mentally. I sighed aloud and rubbed my burning arms. My marks of my curse glowed. "Stop it!" I whispered to it. I dimmed and I exhaled. "Hey." I heard a familiar voice. I turned to see pansy and Draco. "Hey guys." I said jumping and zipping up my sweatshirt and pulling down my jean ankle cuffs."You okay Amelia?" Draco asks. I cleared my throat and fidgeted with my ring. "Yeah." I replied. "Okay." He dragged. "Umm- Draco!" I caught. "Yeah?" He asked turning back to me. "Can-can you like meet me in my room after this?" I ask nervously. "Yeah sure." He said. "Cool." I walked into my assigned non shared dorm room. I set everything down and lifted my shirt. I sighed and tilted my head as I looked at the root shaped looking curse marks on my body. The heart of all the roots that jutted out on all my limbs was placed right over my heart, it is said that when I don't find true love, the roots will fade from a skin color brown to a dark black, limbs to heart. That's going to scare me. I heard a knock and quickly covered myself.
"Come in." I said. Draco walked in. "Hey." I said. "Hey." He replied quietly. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked. "Oh!" I said hoping up from my bed and gong over to my closet. There was a box on the top shelf that I reached for. My shirt lifted and revealed my back and stomach. "Woah! What's that?" He asked walking to me. I put the box down and pulled down my shirt. "Nothing." I said. "What is it? Did you get a bunch of tattoos?" He asked. "No!" I shouted. "What is it then?" He asked. "Nothing, can we just drop it?" I ask.
I take the box and put it on my bed. He looked at my slightly exposed arms. He shook it off and payed attention to the box. "What is it?" He asked. "Open it." I smiled. He opened the box and it was a ring, in a big box. "What?" He asked confused. "Okay pick it up!" I urge him. He picked it up. He did as I said. "Okay now there is a little button on the side press it and see what happens." I said smiling. He pressed it and a little metal snake slithered around the ring, he stuck his head in a little hole on the side of the ring which activated a projection screen, it shown on the wall and it held some of our memories together.
After it stopped he turned to me. "Wow! How much did you spend on that?" He asked. "I spent all my life savings on that ring, about three hundred galleons." ($3000) I said. "No, I can't take it." He said handing it to me. "Yes you can. Take it." I said placing it back in his hand and closing his fist. My wrist marks throbbed. "Ouch." I flinched. "Oh sorry did I hurt you?" He asked. "No. It's just-" I stopped. "What is it? Does it have to do with those marks?" He asked. "Umm- I-" I looked down. Is now a good time? I asked myself. I did it anyway. "Draco I have to explain this to you." I said sitting him down. I explained everything, why they're there how they got there what they do, the story behind them. Everything.
"Wait wait wait, so you're saying, you're going to die next year if you don't find love?" He asked. "Pretty much yeah." "Well if anything, you should know, that I love you." He said. That made my heart pound, and not my actual heart, my cursed heart. I clutched my chest. "You okay?" He asked. "I don't know, this hasn't happened before." I said "that happened on my wrists to." He had an idea. He grabbed my hand and my hand pounded. He grabbed my waist and my sides spazzed. "It's like whenever I touch you in a place you have a mark it senses it." He said. "Wait, touch the back of my head." I said. He does so and my ears ring. "Woah." I said. The marks behind my ears started to glow. "Cool. But... what does it mean?" He asked.
I ran over and grabbed the informational book about me. I flipped through the pages, nothing. "I- I don't know." I said. He paused. "What if- no that's stupid." I said. "What? Tell me!" "It's just, you said you loved me, and after that you touched me, so what if my marks, when they do that, what if that means that it's true love, there's probably nothing about it cause nobody's lived to have it happen." I stated. "Wait so you're saying I'm your true love?" He asked. "It's possible." I say. "Let's just hold that in our hopes." He said hugging me. My whole body was shocked but I didn't flinch, it was like a tingle.

Months upon months later was when I turned eighteen. When I was supposed to die. I prepared myself. I woke up and spent the entire day with Draco, hoping he was my true love, and not just because I wanted to live, because I love him. "What would you say if I die today?" I ask as I hold hands with him, laying on the soft green grass looking at the clouds. "I'd say I'll never be happy again." He said looking at me. "Really?" I asked. "Really." He verified. I turned on my side and laid my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, his real heartbeat.1105 words
