"Wah!" Hermione awoke with a start; a few beads of cold sweat on glistening on her face. She suddenly remembered her dream, and gave a shiver at the thought of it. She tried to think of the voices' owner, but she couldn't place it. Hermione sat up, and realized she was lying on a bed; the most comfortable bed she had ever felt. And for the first time since she had awakened, she looked around her, noticing the beautiful room for the first time. Almost everything made of fabric in it was baby blue; her favorite color. The curtains on the one window, the carpeting, the bedspread, and even the walls were the beautiful color. Across the room from the bed sat an oak dresser with seashells for handles. Hermione slowly got up and noticed what she was wearing for the first time; a beautiful sapphire blue, velvet, knee length, strapless dress, and over that, a very short, very light blue knit mini coat. Hermione also had that feeling that the dress was familiar too. She knew she had seen it before, but again couldn't remember where. She sighed and looked on the bedside table to her left. There, in the most beautiful silver picture frame she had ever seen, stood herself and Harry Potter. It wasn't a magical picture though, because it wasn't moving. A plain old muggle camera had clearly taken it. Harry and herself were holding hands, smiling, on what seemed to be their wedding day. Hermione was wearing a sparkling white dress with a pearl necklace, and the matching bracelet an earrings. Harry was wearing the traditional black tuxedo, and of course his glasses. Hermione looked into Harry's emerald green eyes for a moment, smiling, and carefully set the picture back down. She walked slowly towards the oak dresser. She noticed a small, but very delicate looking wooden box on top of it. She picked it up. It was fairly heavy. On the top of it, her initials were carved neatly into the wood in very slanted, very curvy writing. She carefully opened the box and gasped. Inside were the most beautiful jewels she had ever seen. Ruby rings, a sapphire necklace, two diamond bracelets, and an emerald brooch. She noticed a little bump sticking out of the wood and ran her finger over it. And almost instantly, a small secret compartment opened on the right side of the box. Hermione set the box down gently, and took out a dazzling pearl necklace, and the matching earrings and bracelet. She recognized them almost at once as the ones she had been wearing in her wedding picture. She carefully put them back into their compartment, and closed it. All of a sudden, a thought occurred to her. Where was Harry? Surely he would be with her, wherever she was. Hermione looked at the door, thinking about what might lie beyond it. And finally, after a full minute of thinking, she walked over, turned the knob slowly, and pulled the door open.
