A/N: Princess Jennifer, I am talking about Cleopatra the Queen only when she is still a princess. I'm kind of basing it on how Evelyn O'Connelle is Nefrititi in the Mummy Returns. And I didn't like the whole incest thing between family members which is why she's going to marry other royalty. And if you look closely the dreams have certain charachters in them. I won't tell you who because I don't want to spoil the fun. Although it is really easy to guess who they could possibly be.
Chapter 3: The Feast
The students all got out of the carriages when they came to a stop at the school, then they filed into the school. Everyone headed to the Great Hall for the sorting of the new first years, and after that they would have dinner. The second through seventh year students took their seats at their house tables. While the first year students stood in a group waiting nervously for the sorting to begin. Professor McGonagall got up and placed the sorting hat on the stool, called to the new students to come forward. Then the sorting hat placed them into their houses.
When the sorting was done Dumbledore stood up to make his start of term announcements. "First of all I have just been given a reminder by Mr. Filch, (for what I feel was the eight-hundredth and eighty-seventh time) to remind you all to keep out of the forbidden forest!" He said glancing over at Harry, Ron, and Hermione who were smirking. "Next! Quidditch will start in November, and I am pleased to inform you all that Harry Potter, is back on the Gryffindor team." At this there were shouts coming from the Gryffindor table. The Slytherins were all staring at each other in mocked surprise. "And finally we have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Please welcome Professor O'Connelle." Professor O'Connelle stood up as everyone applauded to welcome her.
That's when it happened. Hermione, stared at the new Professor in astonishment, she knew her from somewhere. Where had she seen her? Hermione screwed up her face in concentration.
"Hermione, are you ok?" Ron asked, looking at her with concern. He looked so cute when he looked at her like that. She nodded and looked back up at the staff table.
Professor O'Connelle sat back down. She was now looking at the headmaster. "Now let the feast begin!" Professor Dumbledore said sitting back down and picking up his fork. The dishes magically filled in the middle of the table right before their eyes.
Hermione leaned over the table "Do you feel there's something strange about the teacher.?" she asked both Harry and Ron in a low whisper.
"No." They both answered in unison.
Hermione was deep in her own thoughts. She definitely knew that there's something different about this women but she couldn't put her finger on exactly what it was. No matter what Harry and Ron said, she knew there was something that wasn't quite right. And what about that flash back? Now at this exact moment it was as if she were back in another time lovingly looking at Professor O' Connelle as a daughter would look at her mother.
Hermione thought What is going on here? Who in the world is that women? She looks so familiar and so did her husband Coach O'Connelle the new quidditch trainer. It was just so odd she couldn't shake the feeling that she knew them somehow or somewhere before.
Before she knew it, the feast was over. Everyone started to get up and were filing toward the exit, then Ron brought Hermione back to the present and out of her thoughts by saying, "Hello? Earth to Hermione?" as he shook his hand in front of her face.
"Huh? What?" She asked, sounding oddly clueless and distant.
"C'mon we're suppose to be showing the new first years around the place, we're Gryffindor prefects, remember? " He said extending his hand to her.
At these words Hermione jumped up. "Oh , I almost forgot." She said taking his hand and walking to the end of the table bellowing to the new students, "first years follow us please!"
Bidding a hasty goodbye to Harry they led the first years out into the Entrance Hall.
Back in Professor Evelyn O'Connelle office she started unpacking their luggage, while trying to speak with her husband. "Rick! I just don't get it! When professor Dumbledore announced me, their was this girl at the Gryffindor table who was looking at me!"
"Well honey, Everyone was looking at you." Rick O'Conelle had said in his cute American accent. "I mean how could they not look at you your so incredibly beautiful."
"Oh, C'mon Rick be reasonable," she said trying not to blush at his comment. "I mean it's like this girl and I...knew each other." She added turning to him. "Like there was a connection, the moment I saw her. I think she's the one we're looking for. She has to know her own destiny."
"How do you know she's the one? This happened three-thousand years ago." He said, now looking puzzled.
"Well Ardith Bay, said that once I saw her I would know. And I think I know. There was some kind of vibe out there." She said, as she sat on the end of the bed. "You don't think I'm crazy do you?"
"Of course not! I know that this is really important to you, and maybe this girl that your talking about has the answers."
"I really hope you're right." She said now leaning against her husbands chest.
A/N: I want lots and lots of reviews.
