Hermione dreams:
Dry white pages
With fine ink-black letters.
Red. The color red.
Words. Letters. The smell of grass.
Fresh snow with size 10 foot prints leading
To a castle.
A castle?
Memories whisper in the back of
Her mind like forgotten tastes.
Tastes? Her lips taste like something
She has never tasted before.
What was that word again?
That word with one gentle syllable that
Is supposed to roll out of people's mouths,
Sweet and ready to unfurl.
Sweet
And ready
To
Unfurl.
