I Dream in Hisses
Her body writhed against the floor as she made her way across the room, her tongue flicking out at the air as she moved. Harry watched in terror as she moved closer, her beady eyes bearing into him – following his every move.
"Stay away!" He yelled, holding his wand out in front of him for protection, though for the first time the thin stick of wood gave him none.
"Stayy… awayyy… ssss?" a horrible voice called in Harry's head. "You... cannot... esssssssssssscape meee!" Nagini hissed, moving into a strike position. Just as she pounced, everything went black.
A hasp escaped Harry's lips as he sat up, sweat dripping from every pore. Hermione stirred beside him, looking over to see his terrified face.
"What's up?" She asked, sitting up beside him. Her hand found his back and was rubbing soothing circles into the skin beneath his shirt.
"Just… just a bad dream," Harry said softly, turning away from her. Hermione frowned as she looked down at him, her worry emanating from her.
"You know you can talk to me, about anything," she whispered, her arm draped across him.
"I know," he whispered back. But as he closed his eyes again, all he saw were the red ones of the giant snake and could hear her calling for him:
"You cannot essscape meeeee!"
