Hermione heard his whisper; she felt his arms around her.
Opening her eye she saw Severus looking at her, concerned.
"I had the nightmare again, didn't I?" she whispered.
He nodded, but didn't say anything.
"I'm going back to sleep." She rolled over and tried to roll out of his arms, but Severus tightened his arms around her. "What?"
"When will you get help?"
"Help for what?"
"Damn it, Hermione. These have to be more than just nightmares."
She turned towards him. "They are just nightmares." She kissed him softly and forced a small smile.
"I don't even believe that. I don't believe you believe that they are just nightmares."
