Hermione's POV

"Oh! Professor Dumbledore! You scared me!" I said, "Is anything the matter?"

"No, not at all Miss Granger!" he said. "I just wanted to talk to you and Mr.Malfoy."

"Okay."

Professor Dumbledore had that twinkle in his eyes, which meant he had something up his sleeves. 'I wonder what he's going to have us do,' I thought.

"I have come here to tell you both that there is a ball coming up. It will be held on the night before the last night here before everyone leaves for Christmas break. I am going to leave you and two prefects to set up the whole thing. You, being heads, will lead the whole thing. Have fun! Oh, and congratulations on becoming friends!" Professor Dumbledore said.

"Um…thank you?" Draco said.

"Uh…Professor Dumbledore? Can I ask you something?"

"Yes, Miss Granger?"

"Well…Draco and I…we…um…do you believe in reincarnated souls?"

"Why, yes. Reincarnation is a very magical thing!"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"What I mean is…Reincarnation is when an unfinished soul moves on. Most likely when the soul needs forgiveness or to hear apologies, or love. You never know with reincarnation. Is there something the matter?"

"Well, no, we'll tell you later. Do…or have you heard of the Goddess?" I asked.

"Yes, she and Merlin were brought together under dire circumstances to save New Earth, which is the Earth we live in now. They never loved each other, or so they thought until Merlin tried to do something for the Goddess and failed resulting in his death later on. He confessed his love the day he failed her, she denied him because her heart had turned cold after a long while of Merlin desecrating her day after day. She still loved him but did not want to show it. She only showed her love for him the day he died. I do believe they could be reincarnated if that is what you wanted to know?" he said.

"No, that's all right, thank you," I said.

"Well if there's anything else you know where to find me. Good luck with the Christmas Ball!" Dumbledore said. He turned and walked through the entrance of the big wizard.

"Well, I wonder how he knew so much about us? That and he knew of us becoming friends…oh, well. Shall we head down for breakfast?" Draco said.

"Okay. Oh, and Draco? Thank you…for staying with me." I said, and turned to go to my room to change into the day's clothes.
