It was probably around 7 when I woke up. I wake up when the sun comes up, usually around 7. Also because with my old muggle school schedule, I had to wake up at seven pretty much every day for 6 years. Yeah.

I always wake up early, and stay up late. I've gone to sleep at 1am before and still woke up at 7, no alarms or anything. I've found that I don't need much sleep.

I turned to see Hermione waking up as well. Our sleep schedules were pretty much identical.

"Any strange dreams last night?" I asked her. At Hogwarts, we were pretty well-known for our dreams-especially since ours sometimes predicted the future...

"Just about this bird" she replied. "You?"

I shrugged. "Nothing. What kind of bird?"

"A kinda silver-white one, looked a bit like a type of phoenix but it wasn't a phoenix... It was really pretty though" she answered.

"Interesting..." Silver-white phoenix-y bird... Never seen anything like it.

Hermione's eyes suddenly grew wide. I directed my attention to where she was looking, and saw it-

A feather. A silver-white feather.

"That's from the bird!" she exclaimed. I picked it up, and put it in my herb bag. I'd inspect it when we got home... if we got home.

"What else happened in the dream?" I asked. I needed to know more.

"The bird just flew by me, coming back and resting on my shoulder. It looked me in the eye, its eyes were brown, like ours... then it flew off." She told me. "Call it crazy, but it reminded me of Arwen..." She laughed. "I think I'm finally going crazy"

"And you weren't crazy already?" I asked, earning me a slight whack on the shoulder.

"Carolyn? Hermione?" a voice called from outside. Arwen.

"Yes?" replied Hermione.

"Come on outside, my father would like to meet you" she said. "I left something in there for you two"

I noticed that two dresses had been laid out, one light green and the other a dark blue. The green one looked a bit smaller, probably mine.

Soon, we were outside with Arwen. The dresses fit perfectly. I'm usually not one for dresses, and neither is Hermione, but I loved these. They seemed very elegant and flowing-the way I liked.

Arwen smiled. "Ready?"

Hermione and I nodded. Ready for what? A part of me thought, but I didn't care. This place seemed to have new surprises every minute, and this had to be one of them.

However, I didn't think that things could get even more unusual than they already were..
