Hermione… Hermione… Hermione.
"Who's there?" mumbled Hermione peaking through the curtains that surrounded her bed. For Harry, Ron and Hermione sixth year had just started, however at the precise moment it was midnight and she had just been woken by a mysterious voice calling her name.
Hermione… Hermione… Hermione.
"Who are you?" she asked in shock, standing in front of her was a ghost however it wasn't transparent like the ghost that inhabit Hogwarts she was a solid figure with a cream glow radiating off her. She wore a simple dress like the one Cinderella wore when she was a maid. Her hair was up in a high ponytail that reached her mid-back
"My name is Julietta the ghost of future." She said that mysterious voice
"Whatdo you want?" whispered Hermione who was uncertain of what she wanted with her.
" Come to me and you will find out"
She was in two minds should she go to her as she had been asked and let her lead her where she wanted her to go or stay here roll over and go back to sleep. Looking at the ghost one more time and she decided that she would go, as it was unlikely the ghost had come for no apparent reason. Stepping out her bed she put her feet into her pink slippers and wrapped her also pink dressing gown around her body.
"Take my hand my dear," she whispered extending her arm towards Hermione.
Looking into Julietta's eyes she saw honesty and something else but wasn't quite sure what it was. Slowly and cautiously she lifted her arm and placed her hand in hers. An ice cold wind blew as she disappeared the sensation was similar to apparation but the only difference was the pictures around her she felt like she was in a vortex as circular blue and green lights whizzed past showing her images of Draco Malfoy, Sirius Black, Ron and Harry and some others. As the last image passed by she noticed they had stopped looking around she saw a large cream room with ten large shaped objects that looked remarkably like the prophecies in the ministry of magic, just bigger. There were no windows and no doors just an almost empty room; the only other object was a chocolate brown leather sofa.
"Where are we Julietta?" asked Hermione with a look of confusion etched on her face.
"You my dear are in la stanza del futuro here you will witness the ten futures in the future balls that are set for you in each one will show a different husband, job and lifestyle at the end you will pick two possible future and one of those will be set and so you will not know I will change your memory when we arrive back at your dorm you will climb back into your bed and you wont remember any of this it will just be a dream. Do you understand Hermione my dear?" said Julietta
" Let me get this straight them ten prophecy looking things over there are in fact ten possible futures for me and I have to pick two and then one is picked by random, then my memory will be changed when we arrive back at hogwarts. We aren't at Hogwarts are we?" replied Hermione.
"Correct however you are wrong about Hogwarts we are underneath Hogwarts. Only my kind can come here." Said Julietta
" Your kind, I don't understand." Said Hermione
" Your questions will be answered soon my dear, however I believe it is time to move onto more important matters, don't you."
Nodding her head she walked over to the future balls that Julietta called them and she couldn't get any more obvious as the looked like balls with yellow mist inside.
"Does it matter what order I go in?" asked Hermione to Julietta.
" No my dear you pick any one and place both of your hands palms faced down onto the ball and you will enter the chosen future. I will be accompanying you in the journey to the future."
"Ok I'll start from the beginning and work my way along the row," she voiced. Stepping to the first she place both hands down doing exactly as she had been told and a pulling sensation dragged her in.
The room is called la stanza del futuro which is italian for The room of future
