Harry woke up screaming only a few short hours after getting into bed. The pain was terrible, his head hurt and so did his body. The vision held him tight – refusing to let him go, he could see his dorm and his friends trying to calm him, panicking. He saw the torture of a muggle as if it were on the floor of his dorm.
"Everyone will please leave this dormitory, not a word about this will be spoken of to anyone. Do you understand?" The look the Headmaster gave to the boys was penetrating. No one wanted to incur the wrath of Albus Dumbledore.
As the boys were leaving their dormitory, they heard a whispered silencing spell and suddenly the screams vanished.
"Harry, can you here me?" There was no response from the Boy-Who-Lived, only the blood curdling screams. The Headmaster placed one hand on Harry's heart and the other on his forehead. He began to chant an ancient spell in the hopes of drawing Harry out of his vision.
The sudden ceasing of the screams assaulted his ears. He did not think the muggle could scream for so long or so loud. Voldemort was looking at the child in disgust and hatred.
"Get rid of it!"

The Headmaster slowly removed his hands as Harry stopped his screaming and opened his eyes. His body was covered in sweat that was rapidly drying.
"Headmaster." His voice was hoarse from all the screaming and his eyes glassy from the pain.
"Sssshhh Harry. You're safe now. Can you tell me what you saw?"
Harry began to retell his vision, then a thought struck him and he paused as if perplexed.
"Headmaster? Voldermort was asking the m…person if he knew where Snape was, but he said she?"
Dumbledore looked at Harry with a grave expression, almost as if he were angry at the question.
"Harry, you must have misheard – Professor Snape is a he. Now you should get some rest, if you remember anything else about this dream then you must come straight to me."
"Of course Headmaster. Thank you sir." Harry smiled a little before closing his eyes as if he were sleeping. He watched out of slitted eyes as the Headmaster regarded him as a threat and then just as quickly left the dorm.
