Of course Hermione knew that several people, if not everyone, had experienced some horrible dreams. She just wasn't in the habit of stating the obvious to people. For all she knew, the other woman could want to find a way to ensure the dreams continued. It wouldn't be the first time that Hermione had met up with someone seeming innocent enough only to learn that they were part of some overarching sinister plot.
Hermione noticed the woman looking at the book she was planning on delving into next. She did not take kindly to the idea of sharing the books she had painstakingly chosen from the shelves. Especially when the other woman had used a spell rather than her own abilities to discern where she should look for answers.
The woman had mentioned, at least in part, that she had indeed dreamt something unpleasant the night before. She wondered if everyone's dreams were specific or more general. The book she was currently working through had mentioned a bit of both. "Something specific or more generic?"
