Chapter 8 - In the Past the truth will lie hidden

"Wait up Harry" Hermione called out as she ran down the stairs in to the Gryffindor common room.

"Hey, what's the rush?" Harry grinned at Hermione.

"Oh, I wanted to ask you about the dreams you'd been having, Ron told me a bit about them and I was wondering if you'd had anymore?'

"Well, umm funny you should ask Mione, but I had another one last night." Harry shuffled slightly.

"Oh really, that's great Harry, what was it about, was it like your last one at Ron's place?" Hermione dug in to her book bag and pulled out a notebook and quill. She looked up at Harry and smiled waiting for him to explain the dream.

"Well I don't want to talk about it here Mione, could I at least have breakfast first?"

Hermione huffed slightly then placed the notebook back in her book bag, she looked around the common room. " Where's Ron?"

"Dunno, he wasn't in the room when I left before."

"Must have gone to breakfast early, c'mon we might be able to catch him in the halls." Hermione sped up as she exited the portrait doorway

"Careful Hermione, you don't want to loose points for running." Harry called out as Hermione slowed down.

Hermione turned the corner and barrelled head on in to something firm.

"Hey watch it!" Hermione wobbled slightly, the person she ran in to grabbed hold of her waist making she didn't fall.

"What's the rush Hermione?" She looked up to see Ron's smiling face.

"Oh just the person we were looking for." Harry handed Hermione a book that had fallen out of her bag in the collision.

"Looking for me, what have I done?" Ron let go of Hermione and looked straight at Harry, he gave his best friend a complex look, not really sure what could be up.

"Harry had another dream last night, and he was about to tell me about it in the common room, but the unreal need to eat got in the way."

"Was it a good one or a -you know who one?" Ron whispered the last bit as he gave a very quick look around to see if it was safe.

"It was about My Auntie, I was in this strange place, a garden out side a house that I've never seen before in my life."

Hermione quickly scribbled down this small bit of information, while the trio waited for the stair case to right it self

"So what happened, who did you see?"

Ron bounced down the stairs, the thought of breakfast was making him very excited, and the sounds of Harry's dream was about as interesting.

Harry stopped, should he tell them who he had seen, these dreams where weird enough as it was, he had no idea where they had come from and why on earth they had started now.

He shrugged the doubt off and opened his mouth.

"I saw my Dad, and Aunt arguing in what looked like a sitting room."

Hermione gasped, Ron stopped dead in his tracks.

"Harry, are you totally sure that was who you saw?" Hermione scratched her quill tip over her notepad.

"I'm positive Hermione; He looked the same as the picture in my photo album."

Hermione flicked her nose with the end of her quill. "Interesting"

She started quickly writing notes down not looking up at either of the boys.

"So Harry what were they talking about, anything that can explain why you're seeing this stuff in your dreams?"

Ron tilted his head to the side like a playful dog, which made Harry chuckle, the two boys' kept walking, completely ignoring Hermione, until she called out and ran after them.

While this was taking place, a dark figure stood in the shadows watching the Golden trio, Professor Snape was ready to take points off of them for loitering, but stopped when he hear Harry mention seeing his Father and Aunt.

"Aunt, what in Merlin's name is that boy talking about. He has no aunt." Severus frowned, having gone to Hogwarts with James Potter and the rest of the group; he had no memory of there being a Female Potter Sibling.

Severus stood still listening to the two boy's talking, Harry made mention that James and this Fictional Aunt had been arguing in his dream.

Keeping his cover, Severus strained to hear what else was being said, he caught what sounded like James was not happy that this Aunt was not able to attend his and Lily's wedding due to ministry work.

Having had enough of this fan sable bit of story telling, Severus brought himself up to his usual impressive hight and started out of his hiding spot, as he opened his mouth to take 20 points from Miss Granger for running in the halls, A flash of Purple caught his eye.

"Oh great that annoying women" Severus sneered. He forgot all about the trio and stalked up behind Raven Star.

"Good Morning Professor Star, I see you've made the effort to dress yourself for company." Snape's voice dripped with venom.

"Oh Good Morning Professor Snape."

Star spun around to face the Severus, she smiled at him noticing straight away that he was looking tired and a little put out by something.

Severus grunted at her cheerfulness, hating how perky she was compared to last night.

"What ever do you mean by your statement Professor Snape, I always wear clothes to Breakfast."

Star probed him slightly; she had a fair idea what he was on about, but wanted to be completely sure.

"I'm sure you do Professor Star" Severus pronounced her title more forcefully to push his intended point.

"But, from what I have seen this very morning I could beg to differ. Need I not remind you that you're at a school now, your display this morning at dawn was a disgrace."

Star grinned at him, she was right it was about her morning Yoga, thinking to herself, this could be some fun, she had known he had watched the images of it where fresh in his mind.

"I am sure the Headmaster would be interested to hear about this." Severus sneered again, he would be having a chat with Albus about her again, she was turning out to be a very bad choice for a Professor and this little tid bit would for sure be a mark against her name.

"Oh Albus knows about this morning Severus, I caught up with him after I had finished. His only comment was to make sure none of the students saw me."

Star grinned, the anger was radiating off Severus now, and you didn't have to be a telepath to know he was pissed.

"Well if you'll excuse me I would like to get some breakfast."

Star turned and headed in the direction of the Great Hall. Severus was fuming; the little witch stole his thunder again.

He watched as she walked off, internally staring daggers at her, when she stopped and turned again.

"Oh by the way Severus, if my display this morning was such a disgrace, why did you keep watching?"

She winked at him, and then walked through the open door.
