Chapter 4

Severus studied Hermione as she worked on her potion. Draco had served his month of suspension under the strict watch of his parents and returned to Hogwarts changed. The day her returned, he walked to Hermione and apologized. It was now November. Severus’ dreams were coming more and more frequently.

‘I need to find out just how much Miss Granger knows about this,’ he thought as the class began cleaning up.

“I want a two foot essay on the purpose of this potion and the origins of the four main ingredients. The essay is due at the start of next class,” Severus instructed. As the class began to leave, he spoke up again. “Miss Granger, may I have a word,”

Hermione grabbed her bookbag and approached Severus’ desk. Once the classroom was empty, Severus sat at his desk and motioned for Hermione to take the seat at the desk in front of his.

“Tell me Miss Granger, have you been having weird dreams lately?”

“How…how did you know?”

“Because I have been having them too. Tell me about your dreams and when they started,”

Hermione proceeded to do just that. As she explained her dreams, Severus listened. A lot of the dreams she talked about, he too had dreamt of them. Once she was finished speaking, he pulled something out of his desk drawer.

“Does this look familiar?” he asked.

“Oh my god. That’s Salazar’s signet ring,” she gasped.

“Yes. According to our dreams, Salazar gave this ring to Rowena the morning he left. She then in turn hid it in the Chamber of Secrets,” he nodded.

“Sir, what are these dreams telling us?” she questioned.

“I don’t know. All I do know is that you and I play a key role in all this,” he answered.

“I found a bunch of Rowena’s journals. In one of them, she wrote about a soothsayer. The soothsayer told Rowena that she and her soul mate, Salazar, would be reunited in the future. If these dreams really are memories, then the soothsayer’s vision may very well be coming true,” she explained.

“I think the Headmaster may know something about this,” he said thoughtfully.

“What should we do?” she inquired.

“I say we keep this between us for the moment. Let us get together Saturday evening and compare journals,” he replied.

“Sounds like a plan,” she smiled.

Rowena couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Godric sat across from her at his desk. After breakfast, he had asked Rowena to join him for a quick word.

“Godric how could you say this?” Rowena asked.

“Rowena, you know I love you like a sister and Salazar like a brother. However, you and him being together isn’t a good idea,” Godric replied.

“How can you say that! He and I love each other! There is nothing wrong with he and I being in love!” she cried.

“Yes there is! You and him will be unable to remain unbiased when dealing with the students!” he yelled.

“Yes we can. You’re just jealous because you haven’t found love like the kind Salazar and I have. This conversation is over,” she stated.

Godric watched as his best friend stormed out of his office. He sighed heavily as he leaned back in his chair.

“That went well,” Helga said.

“They can’t be together. The students and staff are already talking. Not to mention that neither realize just how powerful they are. Could you imagine how powerful any offspring between them would be?” Godric sighed.

“So what do we do?” Helga asked.

“Whatever it takes to keep them apart,” Godric answered.


************************************************************************

Harry lay in bed, wide awake. He couldn’t believe what he had just dreamed. Let alone that he saw himself, Hermione and Susan as three of the four founders. He had his suspicions about who the fourth founder would be.

‘Is that what Hermione and Susan have been dreaming about?’ he thought.

“It’s happened Minerva,” Albus said with a smile.

“How do you know?” Minerva asked.

“I overheard Severus and Hermione talking. I was right. She is Rowena Ravenclaw reincarnated. It appreas Rowena’s soul mate is none other than Salazar Slytherin. Severus is Salazar reincarnated,” Albus explained.

“But this can’t be! She’s his student. Not to mention he’s a Slytherin and she’s a Gryffindor,” Minerva exclaimed.

“According to Rowena’s journal, a soothsayer saw her and Salazar being reunited in a time when Hogwarts would need to be united once more. I consulted a soothsayer of my own and he has confirmed this. Hermione and Severus will bring unity back to Hogwarts,” Albus replied.

“This is impossible. Salazar and Rowena weren’t in love. He left because of his beliefs,” Minerva stated confidently.

“We were led to believe that. I don’t know the whole story yet, but I bet Hermione, Severus, and whoever the reincarnations of Godric and Helga are, do,” Albus said.

“We can’t allow this,” Minerva sighed.

“We must and we will. If we don’t, Hogwarts will fall,” Albus said with determination.
