AN: I was listening to the soundtrack to the movie Garden State while writing this part.
Beta Note: Sorry about the last chapter. Hermione's part was when she mentioned she and Harry moved into another house. I am doing my best to reload that chapter if anyone was confused. Thnx Jenna.
Part 6-Horror
For Three years and three months I have been blissfully unaware of Harry's nightly terrors.
Tonight I am no longer.
Did Ron know?
If he did, then why didn't he tell me?
Why didn't Harry?
He confided in both of us during Hogwarts.. Okay through part of fifth year.
But since then he has not... Have I been so naive as to think he would no longer have nightmares?
Have I been thinking, I have terrible dreams and not looked past myself?
It seems I have.
Our general lack of communication for the past six years has sent all three of us on paths of despair.. paths of inner turmoil.
No longer sharing with the others.. Keeping it all inside.
Letting the horrors overcome us, letting it drag us down to our present states of sorrow.
How can we overcome this? How can we move forward?
There is only one way to go forward.. And that is to take action, to make yourself go, to confront the demons, to confront each other.
To no longer sit and wait, to take action.
To throw caution to the wind and move forward.
We have been silent for far too long, I have been silent for far too long.
Now I must make myself heard and move on from the tragedy.. And hopefully, take another with me.
Ron has taken action and moved onto a new life.
It is time I did the same, though remaining in the same location as the old.
It is time to confront the demons.
It is time to march, to march into Harry's room and start confronting both of our horrors and fears.
