A/N: Thanks for the review Jade. I'm really glad you like it.
Chapter 5: Finding Out
"Miss Granger! I must tell you that you really showed some action when you were trying to beat up that death eater." Hermione stayed silent and waited for her to continue. "You really are the one to whom the prophecy was speaking of."
"But there are no prophecies about me." She said, now feeling a little terrified.
"Oh, that's right. You don't know what I'm talking about yet do you? Well, you went to the department of Mysteries last year didn't you?" asked professor O'Connelle.
"That's right!" Hermione said trying to look modest but still confused about how Professor O'Connele knew about that, especially since she was brand new at Hogwarts and this was her first day.
Professor O'Connelle motioned for Hermione to sit down. Hermione sat. "you've been having dreams haven't you?"
Hermione was stunned. How did she know about the dreams? She couldn't possibly be getting inside her head or could she. Finally she admitted it and told the whole story to Professor O'Connelle, although seemed to already know what Hermoine was saying even before she said anything it was as if the professor was able to read her mind.
When Hermoine was finished, Professor O'Connelle said, "I've had the same dreams you've you've been having." She paused for a moment and got out of her chair and came aroung from behind her desk. She walked forward a little bit, not looking at Hermione, then she resumed talking. "I have been looking for you for quite sometime." She paused for a moment turned toward Hermione and looked her straight in the eyes and said, "I am Nefrititi...Cleopatra's mother!"
Hermione didn't speak right away, "but that can't be, Nefrititi lived over three-hundred years ago!"
"I'm aware of that! But I was reincarnated and was sent back here protect the bracelet of Anubis." She sat back down on the desk still staring at Hermione as though she had never seen anything quite like her. "And you were sent here to protect me and my husband, who by the way just happens to be King Tut."
All of a sudden everything became crystal clear. It all made so much sense. It explained so much to Hermione. The dreams, the familiar faces of the O'Connelle's, Ron and Viktor's past selves, everything. Evelyn continued to speak. (A/N: That's the Professor's name.)
"You're the chosen one, the Princess Cleopatra. You were in love with two men. Ramsses and Sabala! You couldn't decide which one you wanted to marry. Since our law forbid you to have them both, you felt you shouldn't have either. You did the most foolish thing above all others...you killed yourself...you put snakes in your bed. You were dead the next morning." Evelyn now had tears rolling down her delicate cheeks.
At these words Hermione felt her world tumble. Why would she do something so idiotic as to kill herself? She killed herself over two guys. Maybe the past Hermione would have done that. But now Hermione would never dream of doing that. This hit her really hard.
Apparently the professor was reading her mind, because she said, "You know I'm right don't you Hermione? I can see that the truth is in your eyes. But I'm afraid there's more to this than meets the eye?"
This got Hermione's full undivided attention.. "Since you never picked either of the men who desired your heart, you were given another chance. Don't you see...one of them was your soul mate?"
Hermione's jaw dropped. When she noticed it gapping open she quickly closed it. "Look I'm really flattered but that's not possible since they should be dead by now." She said a little too quickly.
"Actually, since you were given another chance, they also received another chance. You've already had two people battling over your heart. You've just never realized it...until now."
Hermione was so shocked. Why hadn't she ever noticed? She would certainly remember that. "Then why don't I know who that one special guy is?" She asked, sounding a bit apprehensive.
Professor O'Connelle took a long sigh and started up again. "You do know who they are. Just think Ramsses is tall, has freckles, and is a little lanky. But on the other hand, Sabala has big thick bushy eyebrows, and is taller than Ramsses and he slouches."
She did remember! Those two guys that were fighting over her were Ron and Viktor. How could she not have noticed? I mean Viktor was always so nice to her just like he was three-thousand years ago. And Ron was always so jealous back then, just like he was now. But the more Hermione thought about it the closer she got to finally knowing which one she preferred.
Whenever Ron was around, she would always tell him that Viktor was just a friend. Which is true. And yet whenever Ron was checking out another girl, she got jealous. Hermione now knew which guy she desired. And now she knew which one was her soul mate...it was Ronald Weasley.
A/N: Do read and review.
