Disclaimer; blah, blah, blah. You know by now I don't own Harry Potter.

A/N Two more shorter chapters, but dont worry. I have some longer ones coming up soon. Happy Reading.

Secrets of the North Tower…

We all walked back together to the castle, laughing and talking like old friends. I had never been happier. Draco's eyes sparkled now as he laughed and joked with me. And I think Ron and Harry saw this in him, and accepted it from then on. As we got closer to the castle, I looked up to the tower where our dorms were. Something caught my eye; it was white and could be seen from all the way back here.

"How could I have been so stupid?" I yelled, making all three of them jump slightly and stare at me as if I was stark raving mad.
"I will catch up with you all later" I yelled as I ran off towards the castle at top speed.

"She's mental" Ron said flatly. "You'll get used to it."

I sprinted up the stairs towards the library. I had been so caught up in my own dilemmas that I forgot about something I had learned at the beginning of the year. I sat down at a table and gathered some large books and began to read.

It was late when I arrived back in the common room, and to my surprise Draco, Ron and Harry were all sitting waiting for me, talking about, what else, Quidditch.

"Hermione," Draco said "what got into you?"

"I can't believe I overlooked this the whole year" I said as I flopped a huge book onto the table.

"What did you overlook?" asked Harry. They were all looking at me as if I had a bird on my head.

"The common room, the tower, it all makes sense now." I stood there rambling to myself for a minute or two.

"Hermione, snap out of it" Ron yelled breaking my concentration. "What is this all about?"

"The dreams, the dreams we shared." I yelled, out of breath.

Draco suddenly perked up and was listening intently.

"What about those dreams?" He said, leaning in to grab me around my waist.

"I think I figured out what was happening." I had all of their undivided attention.

"Well, enlighten us before we die of curiosity." Harry said.

"The dreams started in September, and grew most intense in December, right Draco?"

"I think that's right."

"We started studying Moonflowers about that time in Herbology."

The three of them looked at her in a state of confusion.

"Moonflowers…they are the main ingredient in dream potions, but I didn't read everything there is to know about them, there is much, much more. They thrive from late August, into late December. But bloom year round, even in the snow. The flowers are fragrant, and smell like several different varieties all rolled into one. Ground up, they are used in dream and some love potions. The greater the quantity, the more intense the dream. For instance, if you mix it with mug wart and chicory root, you get a nightmare dream potion, like the one Snape made us take earlier in the year. If you mix more moonflower, with shamrocks and ground newt eyes, you will dream of riches."

"Hey, that's what Harry and I brewed, and I did dream of being rich." Ron said startled.

"Now if you mix it with rose petals and lilac buds you will have dreams of love and romance…"

"Hermione" Draco interrupted, "neither of us has taken any of these potions, except for the one Snape made us take, and I started dreaming of you long before that." He smiled at me and I beamed back at him.
"I know, let me finish. Now, during the growing season, the vines climb up any available stone walls as long as they face north. And heavy breathing of the pollen will cause the person to have prophetic dreams, of their deepest desires. Too much of this pollen and sleepwalking occurs, causing the dreamer to seek out these desires." I looked at the three of them satisfied that they understood what I was trying to tell them. They all looked at me with a confused look on their faces.

"Uh…maybe it's just me but, what does that all mean?" Harry said to the other's relief.

"Boys," I sighed. "Don't you see, the vine climbing up the north tower, the tower that we are in right now, is a moonflower vine! The pollen came into our windows, and we had dreams. And I suspect that some of them were real."

"The bite marks on your shoulder" I whispered to a blushing Draco.

"Oh" he said with a feeling of recognition. Then he smiled as if recalling that night in his head. Giving his eyes that dreamy, sexy look.

"When we were walking back from Hogsmead, the color of bright glowing white caught my eye, and as I got closer, I noticed the huge vine growing right underneath both of our terraces." I ran to the library and found out all of that information.

"Our little Sherlock Holmes solved it again." Ron said. "Well done Hermione."

"Now," I said "we have more important matters to discuss"

"What would that be, my dear?" Draco said, wrapping his arms around my neck from behind and nipping my ear lightly.

"N.E.W.T.S. of course. How could we think of anything else?" I practically screamed.

"Also we have to plan the graduation ball, and post announcements before N.E.W.T.S. are over." he said.

"We have so much to do" I exclaimed. "We will never get it all done."

"We can help Hermione, I'll ask Ginny, and Ron can get Hannah to help." Harry said, standing up to leave.

"All right, let's meet soon to talk it over." I hugged them both as they left.
