Dream
Chapter Two: The Book

"Hermione..." the hoarse voice repeated. Hermione slowly turned around, afraid her dream had come true.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ron. "Ron, what's the matter with your voice?" Hermione said, relieved he wasn't the purple mist she expected him to be.
"I woke up with my voice like this and went to the hospital wing. I have 'acute laryngitis' in the words of Madam Pompey. My throat hurts really bad, but she sent me off anyway," he answered.
"Oh, well that's too bad," Hermione said. "We should get to the Great Hall before we miss breakfast." Ron agreed, and the two friends headed to the large room. When they reached it, breakfast was almost over.
"Ron! Hermione!" Harry called as they entered. They went over to the Gryffindor table and sat on either side of him. "It's about time! Dumbledore has an announcement, he says it's really important."
Hermione and Ron each grabbed a piece of buttered toast, and waited for the headmaster's announcement. They saw him stepping up to the center of the stage. "Students of Hogwarts, I have a very important announcement to make. Please pay very close attention, as there was an important event that took place last night. Someone, whom we are unclear as if it was a student, or in fact someone who had broken in, has stolen a book from the library. This was no common book, this was a very, very, and I emphasize the very, important book. It was not on a shelf, nor in the Restricted Area. It was kept in a charmed cabinet in Madam Pince's office. This book's contents will not be revealed to you, because of it's power. If anyone has any information on this, please notify Professors Mcgonagall or Snape, or myself. Thank you, that is all."
The room was sort of quiet for a moment, then filled back up with converstion, and by lunchtime, most students had forgotten about the whole incident. But Hermione hadn't forgotten about her dream.
She didn't want to tell Harry or Ron, because she didn't want to make a big deal out of nothing, because she couldn't base fact on a dream. Plus, she was almost positive that Ron would make some stupid joke about it that would make her feel even more stupid. So she decided to keep her mouth shut about it. She figured she wouldn't have any more of these dreams anyway.
The rest of the day went by normally, and Hermione was glad to be back in her room, surprisingly, she didn't enjoy classes that day. She went to her room and pulled off her robe, and smoothed her blue blouse down. She got into her four-poster bed, planning to finish her 'Witchcraft in the 1400s' book. But the book that lay on her bed was not hers, it was an old, battered, dark green book. She sat down and opened it.
Inside the front cover, above the table of contents, it read: 'Property of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. If found please report to the current headmaster at once.'
Hermione was never one to break the rules, so she was going to bring it to Professor Dumbledore's office immediately. But something, in the table of contents, caught her eye.
It said: 'Dreams containing Fog, Mist, Smoke, or Dust...Chapter 2, Section 1, Page 129'
This greatly intrigued Hermione, so she opened the book to that page, and she started reading it aloud in a soft whisper.
"Dreams containing the effects of fog, mist, smoke, dust, or other foggish elements are an indication of upcoming tradgedy, downfall, or even death. If you have a dream containing one of these themes, you are in for a terrible experience."
Hermione closed the book, she could not handle to read any further.

A/N: The part about what a dream containing fog, mist, smoke, or dust means was just my imagination working, it doesn't really mean that! So don't get freaked out if you have a dream with one of those in your dream! Thanks.
