Author's note: Hello everyone. It's me again. Thanks to everyone who even bothered reading specially to those who reviewed my story. To all of you, you know who you are, THANKS!!!! Luv you all!!! ; ) ; ) ; )

"So Herm, what's our next class again?"
"Why? Did you forget our schedule because you were transported to a world of love with Harry?"
"Hermione…! Are we gonna start this again? If we are, I'm leaving."
"No, I'm serious Cho. Didn't you even notice that only a few groups managed to gain some progress in their sprouts? Even I had a difficult time trying to make it grow."
"So… What has it got to do with me and Harry…?"
Cho was confused. The idea that the angelic sprouts are connected to the little bit of fun that she and Harry shared was so enigmatic."
"Don't you know that angelic sprouts feed on love?"
"Feeds on what?!"
"It feeds on love. Normally, the love that a gardener manifests to his/her plants is what makes it grow but it feeds on any kind of love anyway. And you, who didn't even exerted any effort in caring for the plant made the plant grow so big. Will you please explain to me What happened."
Cho was dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say. Am I in love with him? It's just that he's a little bit cuter…and nicer…Arrgh… Shivers ran down through her whole body. Trying to control the growing excitement in her heart was getting harder every second of the moment.
"Cho, I'm still waiting for your answer."
"What? Oh… I don't know Herm, maybe we just got lucky."
***
" You got lucky all right!"
"The feeling of working with her was so…"
Ron continued to tell how lucky he got when she was partnered with Hermione. He didn't reveal it to everyone but Harry knows that Ron fancies Hermione. Why, talking about her so enthusiastically every time she got close would reveal something right? But that wasn't where his mind was. Not even Snape, who unluckily, would be their next class. He was thinking of the new connection she felt with Cho. She wants to see me around. Would she still like me tomorrow, or am I a one time wonder? Uggh… I can't stand this. This is going to give me a headache.

"Yeah, If the scent here doesn't drive you nuts, there's gotta be something with your nose."
Cho and Hermione finally reached their destination. They were in the Astronomy tower. As usual, the room didn't change. If her memory serves her well, the room didn't change since she was in her 1st year in Hogwarts. It filled with stinky mist which smells like incense. The tables was still arranged in five rows with at least six columns each. Each table has at least one meter of extra space between them so that the so called "psychic waves" could pass through each one of them equally. Cho and Hermione picked a place where they can sit together. They picked the tables near the center. Close enough to hear the teacher, but hidden enough to permit chit chat if the class gets boring. They looked at the usual spot hidden by curtains. This is where Professor Trelawney will teach her class for the rest of the year. They saw at the curtains an outline of a thin woman sitting down which they presumably thought to be Professor. The mystical voice confirmed their suspicion.
"Greetings Ravenclaw. Welcome to another year here in Hogwarts. According to the positive vibrations, I feel you had a great summer. As I said yesterday, we are going to work with your crystal balls today. I would like to know if you still remember how to work it. It is very vital because we are going work with them for most of the year. Try to interpret what you see. If you have any difficulty interpreting it, bring it to e and I will help you. You may start now."
The whole class bent down and got each individual's crystal ball. Cho placed it in front of her. After almost fifteen minutes of staring, she finally distinguished something. Hmmm… this looks like a… circle? A heart? What the heck, I'll just go and ask Professor.
"Professor, could you help me with this?"
"Bring it up here my child"
She picked up her ball and walk towards Professor Trelawney. She handled her ball with extra care because she felt she was carrying her life in her hands. A hand slowly emerged between the curtains. It grabbed the crystal ball from her hand and it started moving back between the curtains.
"My, my child. What strong vibrations you have today."
There was a brief silence for a moment.
"Ummm… child. How am I going to say this? Your ball contains very personal matters. Would you like me to tell you right now or would you like to come in after class?"
"Why, What's in it?"
"Let me give you a hint. Something that has to do a century ago."
"Whoa… I'd rather talk about it later."
"After it is then my child. I will be meditating on the patterns of the moon. You should know where to find me."
"Yes ma'am."
She went back to her seat extremely confused. What does something that happened a hundred years ago got to do with my personal life? She paused for a brief moment to think about it. A memory suddenly flashed back into her memory.
***
"Danny, swear to me… Please swear to me… swear to me that after a hundred years… we will be together again… promise me."
"Yes Selena… I promise… after a hundred years… We will be together again... Forever."
***
No, this couldn't be. How could my dream connect with something a hundred years old. This thought echoed through her mind as if it was shouted over and over again.
"Criing…"
"Okay class, you did very well today. Ms. Chang, don't forget to meet me after class okay. I'll be expecting you. Okay class, you may go now."
They hurriedly went down through the trapdoor. Anything to escape the awful mist that is giving everyone a headache.
"So Cho, why did Professor Trelawney want to meet you after class?"
"I don't know Herm but she said I saw something that occurred a hundred years ago."
"Really? This is so exciting!!!"
"I'm a little bit puzzled Herm but I think, it is somewhat connected… connected to my dream."
"Your dream? That's impossible."
"I know, that's why I am going in after class."
The hours past by slowly but to Cho, it doesn't seem to matter. She was too busy thinking of the connection.
"Criing…"
At last the last bell for today goes.
" Don't forget to tell me what happens okay."
"Yeah , sure."
She went to the spiral case and started going up. She was still confused not finding the answer to her questions. At least after this, I'll know if my intuition is correct. After thirty minutes of climbing, she finally reached the trapdoor to Professor Trelawney's room. She opened it and slithered her way up.
"Ahhh… child. I've been waiting for you. You're just in time. Would you like a cup of tea?"
"No thanks Professor."
"To excited are we. Well, I'm not going to make you wait for a while longer. First, I would like to ask you something. Do you believe in past life?"
"Well… aside from it being impossible, it's extremely ridiculous and utterly unbelievable."
"Well, believe it or not, It has something to do with your past life."
"What?!"
"Yes, your past life. I saw that destiny has been cruel to your past life. Not really cruel but, it didn't give you a taste of what everlasting love really felt. A century had passed and you got another chance to change it. If you once again don't succeed, your love will suffer for another hundred years. Then it will get another chance. This process of unending pain will continue till you get a happy ending. But if you do succeed, you wil have everlasting joy and peace forever."
"Wooow…! I don't know what to say."
"Well, If you don't have anything to ask anymore, you are welcome to leave now."
"Thank you ma'am"
"May the spirits guide you child."
She left the room thinking. Instead of answers, she found more questions.
