Living the Dream: Realising the Truth

As Professor Severus Snape entered the dungeon classroom, the class of Gryffindors and Slytherins fell silent.

'Today, class, we will be concocting the Oltre Futuro Potion. Who can tell us what this potion will do to the drinker if concocted correctly?' Professor Severus Snape droned.

Hermione's hand shot in the air as Draco drawled out the answer. (A/N: Read about the potion, it's very important!)

"Oltre Futuro Potion allows the drinker to see premonitions of the past and the future, of their loved ones or even themselves, they my even see their own death. These premonitions are true and nothing will stop them from happening." Draco's voice echoed off the walls of the dungeon.

Hermione shot a scowl in Draco's direction as Draco smirked at her triumphantly.

'Ha, beat you to it!' He thought. He knew this was rather childish but he couldn't resist an opportunity to make her angry. It was just the tip of the iceberg of his revenge.

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, 10 points to Slytherin."

"Now who can tell me the origins of the potion and the result of a seer drinking this potion?" Snape asked, passing a steely glance over the cohort of Slytherin Gryffindor seventh years.

Learning from Draco, Hermione started answering without raising her hand.

A VERY bad move.

"Please sir, no one really knows the exact origin of the potion, thought it was said to have originated form Italy, thus its Italian name which directly translates into 'past future', during the 1600s.

During the time, a witch had appeared in a little known part of Italy and used this potion to see the future of her most hated enemy, a wizard living the same vicinity who had appeared at the same time as her.

Unknown to her, she herself was a seer, and thus the potion had 10 times the effect on her. She had fell into some sort of coma and when she had awoken 10 days later, she had suddenly disappeared just as she had mysteriously appeared. At the same time, a wizard living in the same vicinity had also disappeared.

Until this day no one knows who they were or where they but rumour has it that they had 'set aside their differences' after that and actually loved each other, that was the good ending however other endings also concluded that they had killed each other so you can never know which is true or more reliable unless you were an actual witness." Hermione finished.

"Ms Granger, I don't recall asking you to answer the question and I did not ask of a historical account of the potion, I simply asked what would happen to a seer if they would have taken the potion. So that's 20 points from Gyffindor for speaking out of turn and another 10 points for being such a know-it-all." Snape glared at her.

This made the Slytherins snigger at Hermione and the Gryffindors glower at Snape.

"But—" Hermione started, however Ron grabbed her arm and shook his head, trying to save his best friend from further embarrassment.

Snape continued, "Okay I've paired you up and your partner will be your partner for the rest of the term, there will be no changing of partners whatsoever. You and your partner will be working together on every project and I suggest that you cooperate with your partners as you'll both be receiving the same grade, if one of you pulls the other down, you are supposed to tutor each other."

Draco's voice once again rang in the classroom, "I pity whoever gets Longbottom as their partner."

The Slytherins laughed as Neville's face turn the colour of Ron's hair.

Snape's mouth twitched before he waved his wand and half the students disappeared and reappeared beside their partners.

Hermione closed her eyes and prayed to God that if there were any good left in the world she would not be partnered with Malfoy.

'Please, please, PLEASE… not Malfoy, anybody but Malfoy, I'll take Neville or even Goyle, just please not MALFOY!' Hermione prayed with all her heart.

Draco however was having opposing thoughts; he could not miss another chance of torturing her. As he blinked, he found himself seated beside Hermione.

'YES! Oh sweet revenge, sweet revenge is on the way!' Draco thought.

Hermione felt another presence beside her and slowly opened her eyes.

'NOOOOO! Damn it! Today is just not my day, is it?' Hermione thought as she recognised the white-blonde hair of the Head Boy.

"Granger, you'd better not mess this up for me, I need this grade." Draco snarled at her.

"Me? Mess this up? Malfoy I'm the smartest witch of this year if anyone should be getting the warning, it should be you!" Hermione snapped at him.

"One of you will now come up and collect the ingredients of the potion, with the quantities listed on the board. The instructions are in your textbook, this potion must be done by the end of the period, and we will test them on Friday. Begin."

"Go on mudblood, you heard him go collect the ingredients." Draco told Hermione, causally as if he did this everyday.

Hermione was shocked. "What the heck do you think I am? What am I, your house elf? Go get it yourself."

"Miss Granger, is there a problem?" Snape asked sharply.

"No professor," Hermione said through gritted teeth and walked over to the ingredient cabinet to find the ingredients, all the while shooting a death glare at Draco.

'Strike one! Oh I'm going to have so much fun!' Draco thought as he smirked at Hermione's infuriated face.

Hermione came back and poured the ingredients on the table top.

The lesson passed without any other disturbance unless you count Neville's cauldron exploding a disturbance.

"Okay, Malfoy, you bottle the potion up and give it to Snape, I've got to go somewhere else right now." Hermione said as the bell rang, she quickly got up and joined the rest of the Gryffindors squeezing out the door, not waiting for a reply.

Fury gathered inside Draco as she walked away. 'How dare she? That's the second time today she did that! I've got to plan revenge a more effective way.'

Outside, Hermione said goodbye to Ron and Harry as she set off to her Arithmacy Class as Harry and Ron started towards their Divination Class.

The rest of the day passed uneventfully for the Golden Trio, until after Dinner.

During dinner, Harry and Ron kept pestering Hermione to see Dumbledore about the dream. Hermione had forgotten and agreed that she would go after dinner.

Satisfied at this answer, Harry and Ron occupied themselves with their food and their girlfriends.

'Boys!" Hermione thought as she returned to her food.

After dinner, however, Hermione did not directly go to the Headmaster's office; she headed towards her own quiet sanctuary, the library.

Once there, she went to research on the dream that she had shared with Malfoy. Questions chorused in her head as she piled up with books that might contain the answer.

After an hour of tedious searching she finally found it.

'Aha! Found it!' Hermione thought gleefully; however her happiness was short lived and soon turned to horror. (A/N: Read the following, I promise it's very important!)

Seers and Their Soul Mates

Seers like all other wizarding creatures have soul mates. Their soul mates can be either wizarding or non. When it is time for the two souls to be joined, both the seer and the soul mate will have dreams of their past lifetimes starting with when their souls were first joined in a sacred ritual.

This ritual only works for seers; it has the same effect as the wizarding binding ritual in marriages only for seers. The seers' ritual is everlasting and will bypass time itself.

The seer and his or her soul mate will be connected and if they were to be reborn, they would be reborn on one of their past ritual dates and both will be born within the same year.

The Ritual

The ritual is very simple, all the soul mates have to do is let their love for one another pour out of them as they repeat the chant written below and when the ritual is completed, they will know, it comes to them like instinct, from then on, their souls will be forever intertwined.

Hermione's eyes widened and her face paled as she read the chant.

The Chant

'I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life and if God choose, I shall love thee better after death'

If Not Completed

If the ritual is not performed by either is 18 years old, the non-seer will die a horrible death and a curse will befall on the seer. This curse is non-irreversible and it will haunt the seer until the seer's death day. The curse will make the seer have a flash of her soul mate's death every 5 minutes. This will thus result in depression and in most cases suicide.

We managed to see first hand what happened to the seer. This case happened about 50 years ago, the seer wanted to remain anonymous. The seer had not known her soul mate at the appointed time and was left to suffer the consequences. When she was talking to us, every 5 minutes, her eyes would roll and she would scream. Soon after recovering, she would go through this process over and over throughout the conversation, which was not long as the doctor chased us out.

We would like to warn the seers out there of the consequences of not completing the ritual.

The book went on to another subject and Hermione panicky re-read the passage over and over again, trying to find a loophole, anyway of getting out of this… horror.

She was about to look into another book when a voice interrupted her research.

"Miss Granger, I'm sorry but I can't allow you to stay in here any longer, its already after hours and I need to go to bed soon." Said Madam Pince.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just so caught up in my research, guess I'll be going now." Hermione said, flustered, her brain still agonizing over the puzzle she had just figure out.

Hermione grabbed her books and was about to head back to the Head's dormitory when she remembered her promise to the boys and started towards the Headmaster's office.

When she reached the office, she realized that she had no idea what the password was so she started naming any candy that came to mind and got it with 'Life Saving Limes' (my sister came up with that).

"Ah, Miss Granger, what may I do for you?" Dumbledore asked in a grandfatherly voice.

"Professor, this is going to sound stupid, but I had a dream of Harry dying last night and I know that it's usually Harry that gets these dreams but I was just wondering…" she trailed off not knowing how to explain anymore.

Dumbledore looked concerned and slowly nodded his head. "I may as well tell you this now. You are not a muggleborn like you think, you are actually related to a long line of pureblood seers."
