Hermione sighed.
Uncharacteristically, Severus reached over and grabbed her hand. In surprise, Hermione let herself look over at him quizzically.
His dark eyes were softened and his voice was soft, "Please Hermione, let her see if she can help you. I can't stand to have you keep waking up like you do. So afraid, so powerless. I'm so afraid for you; I'm so powerless. Please, it hurts me to see you so... lost."
Hermione sighed and turned to Minerva. "Fine. Where do you want me to start?"
"From the beginning of the dream straight to the end. Then we will go from there."
