A/N:This is the second chapter. Thanks to all my reviewers, and sorry for the mistakes, I'm still learning English you see.
So, on with the story. « Happy Birthday ! »

On a huge cake made with chocolate, there were 17 candles, and you could read 'Happy Birthday Hermione'. She blowed the candles, which exploded and covered her of wax. You should be careful when your friend who organised a surprise party at 6 of the morning is the sister of two of the greatest pranksters ever of Hogwarts. Half-glaring hlaf-giggling, she went to the bathroom while the other girls took away the cake in the common room('I wondered why they didn't want to wait that we were there to let me blow my candles') where the boys were waiting. In honour of Hermione's birthday, they were having breakfast in the common room of Griffyndor, something that Dumbledore had authorised since last year, because 'students need a bit of entertainment in this period of darkness'. Hermione put on her uniform, then a bit of make-up, not that it was an habit, but people would like to see her a bit different (and shoul Isay prettier), than the other days, so she also staighten her hair. When she appeared in the common room, everyone cheered 'Happy Birthday Hermione', and before you know, her lips was captured in a long and loving kiss by her boyfriend's ones, who apparently really appreciated her look. After a few minutes, when the need for air became urgent, they broke the kiss, and smiled at each-other.

"Hermione, open your presents!"said Harry with a broad smile. He handed her something wich revealed to be 'Potions and Spells: The Complete Guide for the Interpretation of Dreams'.

"Thanks Harry I was looking for it for so long! said Hermione, smiling broadly.

Hey, that's what friends are for!"

Harry said that with a genuine smile, which made him look like almost his real age. Almost. All he went through had stolen him his childhood and his adolescence, and he looked like a grown up man. So seeing him like the teenager he should be was her best persent he could offer Hermione, even if it was the fact to offer her something she was longing for that make him so happy.

After, Hermione was surrounded by people offering her their presents. She received some books, some clothes, a box from Fred and George's shop, and chocolates from Honeydukes.

Then, there was only one person remaining.

"Ron, don't you think that you should offer your present to your girlfriend? asked Ginny with a sly smile.

Hem, actually, I, huh, forgot!

What!" Hermione had a look of hurt on her face. She didn't want presents at all cost, but her boyfriend!

"Yeah,huh, you see, I was planning something else, so, huh, well...

And what is important enough to make you forget my birthday?

Come here, I'll tell you."

While Hermione walked to Ron who was grinning, Harry, slightly confused, asked silently Ginny what was going on, but she just winked, keeping her sly smile.

Then Ron took Hermione's hand, looking suddently doubtful, and slightly ...scared?

"Well, you see, I ..."

Then, he kneeled down, and "Hermione Granger, would you marry me?"

A fly could have gone into Her mouth, Hermione would have felt nothing. She was, how to say, shocked? Yes, but...

"Of course, I want to !"

Shocked, but happy, yes. She launched herself into Ron's arms, crying, then they started a snogging session, while everybody was clapping. Then Ron passed a beautiful engagement ring on her finger, and they started snogging again.

Then, everyone had breakfast, then they went to class, Advanced Transfiguration first.

That's how Hermione Granger started the eighteenh year of her life uncredibly happy and engaged.

That was a nice morning, that is to say, with classes they enjoyed: after Advanced Transfiguration, they had Advanced Charms and Advanced Defense against the dark Arts. Then they had lunch, and Hermione thanked Ron several times (by kissing I mean). Then they go to their afternoon classes, Harry and Ron to Advanced Divination (with Firenze ), and Hermione to High Potions. That was a new class that was created for extremely talented students in potions, and only Hermione and Draco had been accepted in it. Talking of the devil...

"Hey Granger.

Hey Malfoy.

Happy birthday.

Thanks."

They were not exactly what you could call friends, but, since his father had been put in Azkaban, Draco became more tolerant and, hem, polite, and even friendly.

"Nice ring you have here.

Well, hum, I'm engaged! said Hermione, blushing.

Ho! Weasley finally showed his griffyndor courage!"

Hermione eyed him to see if it was an insult to her loving boyfriend, but the twinkling in Draco's eyes showed that he was quite pleased, actually. She smiled at him , and he did something between a smile and a smirk to her. He had a reputation to keep, after all!

"Mr Malfoy, Miss Granger, quiet. Today, we are brewing the wolfsbane potion, I'm waiting you two to do it perfectly." Snape entered the class with a sneer,seeing Both his best students jumping, even if they should be accostumated to their very silent teacher by the time.

"And, Miss Granger, you better remove this ring, if you don't want to spoil it."

A few hours later, after the potion just needed to simmer for two days, a very tired Hermione entered the Great Hall, sat next to her boyfriend, and start to eat with saying nothing.

"Hey love, you're alright?"

Hermione smiled to Ron "I'm just tired", and went on eating.

"I see, Snape was in a bad-mood, accused Ron, glaring to the staff table, where said professor was eating too.

No, it's just the wolfsbane potion is awfully hard to brew, you have to stay concentrated for four hours if you don't want to mess it."

Ron didn't answer but kiss her lightly on the temple, and Harry said, winking

"I'm sure Remus will find it have a better taste if he know you did it.

I'm sure he won't, but thanks for the compliment!

You're welcome, Mione."

They finish they meal in silence, then went back to Griffyndor Tower. Harry took a book of defense against the dark arts (you never what could be useful against Voldemort), Ron a book about Quidditch, and Hermione, too tired to work, just laid her head against Ron's shoulder. She felt her eyes become very heavy, then all went dark.

She was in a completly white room, with giants above her; they were talking very quickly, but she could understand it

"Two! No that's impossible, I don't want two children, give this one away!

No! They are both ours, please, let me kept them, please, please!

Shut up woman.I told you I want only one. Get rid of that thing!

No, no...

I said shut up!" Then he hit her. "Get rid of it, or I'm afraid none of them will have a mother!" The anger in his voice frightened Hermione, he could really do it, so she said 'do it please, do it'. Actually, she tried to do it.Why couldn't she talk? That scared her for a while,until she realised that she was taken away from her brother. And the worst, she couldn't make a movement to find him back. That tore her heart apart, she knew in this instant that she would never be able to see him again, and nobody cared? So she cried. But who cares of a one month-old baby's cries. Apparently, not her parents. The pain who so hard she could feel it in all her body, particularly in her heart, and she screamed in agony...which woke her up.

"Hermione, darling, what's up? Mione please, answer me. Love, love..."

Hermione found herself crying and clunging to Ron, who was rocking her like a baby, and whispering worried questions toi her.

"She is awoken now. Hermione, can we do something, what's up? What did you dreamt about?" Harry, of course. Count on him to recognize someone who had a nightmare which looks like reality...and if it was reality?

Hermione, not able to talked from the pain she felt, just kept on clunging to Ron, while him and Harry were saying soothing words. For the time, she just wanted to feel desired, unless her younger self in her dream, and her friends were helping calming her pain.

However, in an other part of the castle, a young man who awoke in the same way didn't have this chance, and his pain was killing him. And he knew that it could disappear only when he would find his sister back... If she actually was real.

A/N: Thanks for reading.I hope you liked it, and if you don't, well, in both cases, review, please. I won't torture Hermione and ... during all the story, don't worry.
