Hermione Granger stood on the deck of her parents house looking out over the ocean contemplating her seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hermione decided to clear her head and turned on her CD player and heard a pulsating latin beat coming from the speakers. Hermione wrapped her arms around an imaginary dancing partner and began practicing her salsa steps. Then all of a sudden the music changed to jazz and she began practicing the steps to the Charleston. Then the music changed again into classic ballroom music. She went back to dancing with an imaginary partner. The music changed once again to an urban hip-hop beat. She decided she was through changing music every five minutes, so she put on her pointe shoes and started practicing ballet. Her mother stuck her head out the back door about three hours after Hermione started her dance practice.

"Hermione, dear, are you going to come in soon so your father and I can actually spend time with you while you're home?"

Hermione finished her last few steps of her ballet routine and turned to her mother. "Mum, I'll come inside in twenty minutes. I promise."

Jane Granger looked at her seventeen year old daughter and just smiled. Jane went back in the house as Hermione turned her ballet music back on. Hermione continued with her freestyle ballet for fifteen more minutes. She liked to work extra hard on ballet. It's the only dance style she has trouble with. She headed inside for a quick shower. When she came downstairs she saw her mum in the kitchen preparing dinner so she went into the living room to talk to her dad.

"Hi, daddy," beamed Hermione as she leaned over and kissed his cheek. Hermione is and always be a daddy's girl, so her father didn't mind it when he heard her call him "daddy." Actually, it made him feel like she was a still his little girl.

"Hello, pumpkin," replied her father, calling her his pet name from when she was a little girl. Hermione usually loved it when her father would treat her like his little girl, but there are times when she hated it. Like, when she had a guy come to the door to take her on a date. That was a really nasty incident the first time it happened. Hermione's father went overboard and scared the hell out of Eric. He never did speak to her again after that happened.

"What are you reading, daddy?"

"Oh, just some American novel. Have you ever heard of a book called Twilight by novelist Stephenie Meyer?" asked Daniel.

Hermione thought through all the books she read, then responded, "No, I don't believe I have. What's it about?"

"It's about a bunch of vampire's who live peacefully among humans and a girl who falls in love with one of them."

"It sounds interesting. Can I borrow it when you're done?"

"Sure sweetie," replied her father.

"Supper's ready," yelled her mum from the kitchen.

Hermione and Daniel went to the dining room for dinner.

After dinner, Hermione and her parents went to the living room to watch a little television. While Hermione was laying on the couch, she dozed off.

Hermione's Dream

"Mia, will you marry me?" asked a blonde haired boy about five years old.

"Jacob, why do you want to be married to me?" replied a brown eyed girl about five years old.

"So, I can kiss you anytime I want," replied Jacob. "you still haven't answered my question, Mia."

Mia thought about his question for a moment and replied, "Yes, Jacob. I will marry you, but only if you promise me we will be friends no matter what."

"I promise. No matter what, we will be friends forever, Mia."

Hermione awoke suddenly from her dream to find her parents gone and the lights out. Hermione decided to go to her room to get more comfortable. She swung by her parents' room to make sure they were okay and saw they were both safe and sound asleep. Hermione made it to her room and changed into some sweats and went to lay down in her bed. After a half hour of tossing and turning, Hermione sat up in her bed and turned on her bedside lamp. Hermione reached into the drawer of her bedside table and got out her journal.

I had the dream about Jacob again. This time he asked me to marry him. I told him I would, but only if he promised we would be friends no matter what. I wish I could remember who Jacob is. The only thing I can remember about Jacob is that we were inseparable that summer. I also remember he gave me a blue sapphire ring with a dragon as the band wrapping around the stone. I wish I could remember what he looked like. The only thing I can see in my dreams is platinum blonde hair. I do know that I miss Jacob even if i can't remember much about him. I wish i knew where he was right at this moment.

Jacob's Room....

August 18th 11:30pm

I had the dream about Mia again. This time, I had asked her to marry me and I gave her my blue sapphire dragon ring. Although, I didn't walk away empty handed. Mia gave me a purple amethyst ring that has a serpent wrapped around the stone and the rest of the serpent body is the band of the ring. I wish I could see Mia again. Actually, I could have seen Mia and not even known it. All I remember about her is her honey brown eyes. Even though I can't remember much about Mia, I do know that I miss her so much. I wish I knew where she was right at this moment.
