Chapter Seven
OH MY GOD!
Ginny's POV
I looked at Draco, wondering what the hell he was getting at.
"Draco, of course she was in the Dungeons last night. She had detention," I explained slowly as if he were a child.
Draco smiled at me. "Gin, she spent the night in the dungeons."
"Spent? As in, no sleeping spent?" I asked, fearing the answer.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Alright, fine, I spent the night in the dungeons but nothing happened!"
"Oh my god!" I cried.
"Nothing happened!" Hermione protested again.
"Oh my GOD!"
"It's not that big a deal!"
"OH my God!"
"Ginny, will you stop it?"
"Oh MY god!"
"Ginny," Hermione snapped. "Stop this immediately or I will be forced to take points."
I swallowed down another oh-my-god and took in the situation as a whole.
The facts stood as such: Hermione obviously like Snape. I could live with that. Hell, I was dating my mortal enemy. Didn't get much more shameful than that.
Well, I'm sure it did, but I decided not to bother with that. There were other things that were bothering me. Like why Hermione was after the same books I was.
"Okay, putting all that aside for now, why do you need these books?"
Hermione sat down, leaning across the table at me.
"You remember those dreams we've been having?"
I nodded to show I was following.
"Well last night something happened. I was cleaning and I looked up to see Snape sleeping at his desk. But he looked in pain."
Hermione quickly sketched the rest of the night's incidents as I sat listening.Though I was still having a bit of trouble wrapping my mind around Hermione and Snape, I politely put that aside for the time being.
I looked at Draco. "Does that sound like anything you've dealt with?"
Draco shook his head. "There are spells to keep lovers apart but this is a little advanced. Those spells deal-"
"-Psychologically," Hermione finished. At my blank look, she continued, "They instigate the idea that you don't want to see that person again and keep the two from meeting accidentally. This was a lot more malignant."
"This doesn't sound like it was terribly malignant," I offered. "I mean, it just sounds some sort of test or something. You know, to see if you really liked each other."
Hermione mulled it over for a second or so.
"To what purpose, though? I mean, who could know I liked Snape when I didn't even know it yet myself."
"I might have an answer to that."
Hermione and I both turned to look at my boyfriend. He had a book open and was looking at it.
"According to this, it could be a test to determine your soul mate."
Hermione and I walked over to read over his shoulder.
Of the four primary Riders, there will be two couples. The red dragon and the white dragon will ride together as will the black and the silver. Each Rider must first have the dreams. Upon receiving the dreams, the Riders will then be tested to see the couples that will follow. With the completion of the tests, the Riders will engage in the race for the dragons.
What the hell did that mean?
(A/N: dun dun DUNNNNNN! Okay, I'm totally evil I know it. But you still love me right? (puppy eyes)
