Hermione frowned. “I’m sure I’ve seen this type of scenario before…”

“It’s not in the Veriae book, I checked.”

“No, not there.” Hermione’s eyes seemed to sparkle as she started going through all the books she’d read in the past month, as it must have been in one of those…

“Oh, that’s it!” she suddenly exclaimed, earning her a disapproving look from the librarian which she completely ignored.

“What’s it?” Harry asked in a quieter voice.

Hermione didn’t reply, as she’d gotten up from the table and was hurriedly making her way to a particular shelf in the library. A few minutes later she came back and dropped a book on the table.

“Dream magic?” Harry asked, reading the title as best he could upside-down.

“Well,” Hermione looked apologetically at Harry, “I thought it might be useful if there was a repeat of last year…”

Harry chose not to comment on that, instead he opened the book. “So, how does this affect what’s going on now?”

“Well,” Hermione’s tone took on the excited tone it always had when talking about learning, “I read this around the second day of school, so I didn’t connect it to the Veriae thing—”

The second day of school? Harry shook his head. On the second day of school, he’d been putting off doing the homework assigned on that first day of classes because it wasn’t due the next day.

Hermione had flipped through the book until she found the paragraph she remembered. “You see, this says that there are some magical creatures that appear in their mate’s dreams. By doing so, the dream magic comes into play, and duplicates whatever happens in the dream in real life.”

Harry blinked. “I can honestly say I don’t get it, Hermione.”

“Well, dream magic is normally dormant magic. Its job is to balance out your magic as you sleep. Um, how do I explain this…you know how when you sleep, your body sort of resets itself for the next day?”

Harry nodded.

“Well, dream magic is a dormant form of magic that does the same thing for your body’s magic. Only a very powerful spell or magical force can tamper with dream magic.”

“So you’re saying-”

“That the bond which connects you two uses dream magic.”

“But how does it work? We had locked doors between us last Thursday and they were still locked when we woke up!”
