HP Relationship Counseling

[Amy Z]

I had by far my most vivid HP dream yet the other night, right after 
having seen the new stills and reading the quotes from Chris Columbus 
about how into their roles the kids were.  It was very weird.

~~~~~screen goes wiggly, fade to...~~~~~~

I was having some kind of huge fight with my husband.  I finally gave 
up on getting him to see reason (<g>...but really, in the dream he was 
being utterly nasty) and wandered into an enormous, dark hall with 
about 2 dozen long rectangular tables, and knew I was at Hogwarts.  It 
looked like Wizard Study Hall--everyone was bent over their books and 
papers.  Each table had someone whom I knew was called a prefect 
(except they weren't students, but adults) whose job seemed to be to 
direct questioners like myself to particular advisers.  

I headed over to the table where I saw Ron and Hermione working, and 
when the prefect asked me who I wanted to talk to I said "Rupert."  
The prefect put my name down and somehow signaled to me that I should 
sit down, that 100 students were in line for advice, and that the 
student I wanted as an adviser had to okay my request, otherwise I 
might be assigned to someone else.  But Ron, who sure enough looked 
exactly like Rupert Grint (see?  it's insidious.  I think he looks SO 
WRONG, but there he is showing up in my dreams as Ron anyway), nodded 
at me so I knew I just had to wait.  I sat down across from him--the 
chair was so small that I felt very outsized and out of place, as if 
the chairs were made for kindergarteners, though the kids all seemed 
comfortable enough--and looked around very uncomfortably.

It became clear that Ron, and Hermione, who was right next to him, 
were putting aside their homework to write out advice to various 
people.  It was also very clear to me that these weren't actually Ron 
and Hermione, but Rupert and Emma, who were so totally into their 
parts that they were continuing to respond in character (if you can 
say that writing relationship advice is in character for either of 
them, lol!).  I could see that Emma had headed up a new piece of 
parchment with my & my husband's names and was starting to write out 
her advice, even though I hadn't asked for her to, which gave me the 
feeling that they thought my situation was so dire that they'd better 
put two people on the case.  Rupert seemed to be starting to respond 
to mine too (I guess the 100 students weren't all waiting for =him=). 
 I got more embarrassed and kept making little jokes like "you sure 
there isn't just some magical solution?" but they kept writing very 
seriously.  Then my husband suddenly showed up looking apologetic and 
I woke up.

Just wanted to share that with you.  Amateur psychologists, feel free 
to chime in!
