Sleepless- Nightmare Or Dreams

Shoshannah

Gryffindor Common Room

"So did you finish the Transfiguration homework?"

"We don't have any homework."

"Yes we do..."

"No we don't Ron! All the homework given last year was cancelled. We just had a war, remember?"

"Well!! Hermione! I am just getting used to the schedule."

"God! I wish I had time for your nonsense here, Ronald; but we have lectures to attend."

"I hate the schedule." said Harry.

"Stop complaining people. The year has not even started..."

The bell rings and all leave for their classes starting with Arithmancy.

Third lecture: Herbology

"So class, todays lecture I want you all to study something really beautifull but very usefull too..." said Madam Sprout...

She removes a pair of

"You really love staying alone, don't you?" "No! Not at all!!" "Then?" "I love their smell, they are adorable. They lend me a sense of serenity and peace." "Deep!" "But what are you doing here? Who are you? Hello!!!"

Listen

Listen

"Hermione!!"

"Wh... What??"

"You were telling someone to listen... "

"Ohhh... I was telling myself to listen."

"Hermione you are really wierd at times!"

"Thank you, Parwati..."

"So class, Does anyone know what is 'Shoshannah?'"

"And here Miss.Know It All has already raised her hand!!"

"Not only her. look at Looser Longbottom."

"Yes Miss. Hermione."

"'Shoshannah' means 'White Lily'. It is a very beautiful flower which smells really good and is used in many perfumes and herbological elixir but most profoundly marked for the 'Doulosifo' that is the enslavement potion."

"Very good Miss. Granger. 5 points to Gryffindor, though we are going to concentrate on the herbological elixurs and not the potion. So it is used un skin treatments against spells due to which scars remain. Now you all have a lily in front of you please start the work."

After an hour or so their elixur was prepared.

"So the lecture for today is over, If possible please visit the lakeside there is a garden full of Shoshannah."

"This was tough.. How does Madam Sprout check the elixir is perfect or not.?"

"Why do you ask Ron."

"Because Neville if my elixir touches her skin I hope her skin would not burn."

"Relax Ron She will check it by magic."

"As you say Mione."

"Guys.. Guyss... The lectures hereforth are cancelled."said Dean who literally rushed in with the good news.

The whole class rejoyed the moment and headed to their dorms.

"Hermione where do you head."

"I will just visit the garden, Harry."

The Garden was a beautiful scenery, The blue lake, sky blue sky, green trees and in the middle of this the beautiful white lilies shining in the golden sunlight waving in the soft breeze. It was a beautiful scene to watch picture perfect..

Hermione sat at the lakeside.

"They are really beautiful."
"Indeed, they are."
"What are you thinking?"
"Do you know what they depict Hermione."
"Beauty.!!"
"Yes, but with that they even depict slavery. A lily indicates a slave. One slaver would brand a lily on his slaves, so even of one would escape they would always be marked and therefore they would never truly escape the chains they were in."
"Hey are you yet talking about lilies?"
"Yes, what did you think?"
"I thought you skipped one quality.
They are also known as 'Alstroemeria - A symbol of Friendship and Devotion.' "
"You always love seeing the positive side, don't you?"
"That is the most important part."
"You are a beautiful person hermione, that is the reason you talk to me yet. People would have left me by now."
" You have mistaken, you have something good in you. I believe in you."
"You should not."
"Where are you going...
Wait....
Wait..."

"Day dreaming Granger." said Blaise...

Hermione was totally clueless and could not answer.

"Oh My God.. Hermione Granger is speechless." said Pansy Parkinson in her tipsy pathetic tone.

"Leave her alone or.."

"Or what Longbottom."

"I will complain."

"Let's go guys." Said Draco.

"Are you allright Hermione." Asked Neville

"Yes."

"What happened.?"

"Nothing."

And they left towards the school.. Where Hermione had to finally confront Ginny about her dreams which were now troubling her during the day also...
