Thank you all for the votes, reviews on what you think and what you would change are also helpful. But please be nice when you say these. I would like to thank Bluedecor for pointing out a spelling error. I have fixed it. I am trying this without a beta, but if anyone is game for this task let me know. I feel as if I have been doing ok thus far, but could always use a second set of eyes. So without futher adu for your reading pleasure we shall continue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione had finished her classes for the day and was curled up in the library. From the outside she appeared to be studying her Transfiguration homework for the day. But transfigured inside the cover was an ancient book from the restricted section. It was called “In Mythologia Somniorum,” which was a book that was about the ancient magic of dreams and visions presenting themselves in dreams. It was written over 300 years ago by a Romanian wizard but no one knew who he was so the book was credited to an unknown author. Hermione was so enthralled with all the new information that she didn’t hear him walk up behind her. Granted he had been sneaky once he realized it was her. But what had made him stop was the charmed book. When he had used a revealing spell, it showed him what she was really reading so he approached. “Ms. Granger, if you would be as kind as to hand over the book you stole from the restricted section and make your way out of the library I would so greatly appreciate it.” She jumped in fear at being startled and spun around only to find him less than a foot away from her leaning over her shoulder. She was frozen, staring into his eyes.
He grabbed the book from her clutches and transfigured the cover back to its original look. “You daft girl, don’t you realize that transfiguring a book as old as this can cause damage?” He realized that she had just continued to stare at him without responding. “Ms. Granger” he snapped at her without response. “Hermione” he said just a little softer. She snapped to attention and a blush adorned her cheeks. “I’m sorry sir, I am not sure what came over me.” I apologize for transfiguring the book.” She looked down ashamed at her behavior. “Ms. Granger, you will leave the library now, and report to my classroom tonight for detention as you acquired a book from the restricted section without prior approval. Now gather your things and take your leave.” “Yes sir,” she replied as she scrambled to gather her things and make a hasty retreat out of the library.
Severus looked at the book in his hand, it signified too much to him. It verified that she indeed had been having the same dreams as him, and that there was some kind of magic at work here. Maybe she was onto something with this book. It was not one he was familiar with, but had studied enough Latin to gather that this was about magical dreams. He had never had a reason to study this subject, knowing it was out there but never having a case pertaining to anything he was studying he had skirted the matter. He tucked the book into his robes for later study. He needed to get to the bottom of this so he could act normal around her. He groaned then, remembering that he had just assigned her a detention with him that evening. “I need to discuss this with Minerva, maybe she would think talking to Hermione about researching this would be a good idea.” Severus made his way out of the library and up to the Headmistress office. He didn’t want to bring all his personal life to Minerva’s attention but he also didn’t want to end up in a predicament with Ms. Granger that could harm his teaching position. He seemed to be drawn to her, to the point where he could pick her out in a crowd no matter where she stood. He could feel where she was, it was like a schoolboy crush. He was going to go crazy trying to keep these thoughts out of his head. His dreams were telling him that he loved her, his heart felt that way also. But he didn’t know her as anything other than a student. She would want nothing to do with him since he was so much older than her and her teacher.
Severus, caught up in his thoughts did not realize that he had already gotten to McGonagall’s office. “Where is my head these days?” he thought. There should be no reason he can’t control his thoughts and expressions. He said the password and the gargoyle guarding the office sprung to life. Severus was about to knock on the office door when it opened and Minerva bid him to enter. “Have a seat Severus, I was wondering if you were going to stop by. Can I get you anything to drink?” She motioned to her variety of teas and scotch on the shelf behind her desk. “No thank you, I just wanted to run something by you that is of pressing matter to me.” She motioned for him to continue. “Ok well it all started about 4 weeks ago, I began having a dream about once a week about a woman I was in love with. Well then this past week when we arrived at school for the semester they began to happen more frequently and were with the same woman, but depicted us rushing to save the school from a danger that was causing the students to die. It was the most realistic dream I have ever experienced and I can remember every detail. In the dream I had last night the woman and I were in my personal lab and were doing some research and the castle began to shake violently. There was a place where the students and staff that died were deposited. They were engulfed in a force field and were untouchable for 24 hours. These dreams showed me exactly what students and staff died. The only thing I have not known was who the woman was.”
Severus paused to allow Minerva time to take this in. She replied “Severus, I know these dreams may seem like they are real, however you know how active your mind is. It is probably just left over anxiety from your years of spy work. You should go talk to Poppy about medical options.” He began shaking his head “No, this time it’s different. I figured out who the person in my dream is, and she knows about them also, you could see it in her eyes when she looked at me. The only problem is that she is a student.” Minerva looked at his face, stress was now evident with the creases that appeared above the bridge of her nose. “Which student is it Severus?” She seemed strained as she said this, he could feel the tension just radiate off of her. “Before I tell you who, I want to let you know the only reason I would consider talking to her about it would be to get ideas about research.” Minerva nodded her head for him to go ahead. “It’s Hermione Granger, I caught her eye at lunch today and she froze. It’s her eyes, I recognized them from my dreams.” “Severus,” she replied “I want to see these dreams before I give the go ahead or not to talk to her.” Severus pulled out a vial and placed the memories into them. Handing it over to Minerva he moved towards the door. “Once you are done viewing them, please let me know as I have detention with her tonight due to her reading a book on magic dreams from the restricted section.” Minerva nodded her head and Severus left. Minerva made her way over to the pensive placing his dreams into the pool. She leaned into it and began viewing. Twenty minutes later she pulled out looking pale and frail. “This is not good,” she said. If this was right, the world they knew was about to start changing.
