A/N: It's an update! Woo!

Please enjoy. :)

Noah was lying in a bed in the hospital wing, his head pounding and his body feeling like it went through a water wheel. Professor Hatchet was serving as the nurse, complete with the outfit of a dress-robe and apron.

"Wow, didn't think your big hands could heal, Hatchet." Noah commented at one point.

"No good little Gryffindors… Always causing trouble for me." Hatchet muttered.

"I'm not a Gryffindor, I'm-"

"DID I SAY YOU COULD TALK BACK TO ME, MAGGOT? NO!"

"Woah, sorry. No need to give me an even bigger headache."

"You better not, after all that stuff happenin' last night. I barely kept my head on."

"Well, it's not my fault."

"IIII SAY WHO'S FAULT IT IS!"

"It's my brain producing images that pertain meaning and connection to real-life events or feelings. I can't control my brain shows me when I'm sleeping," Noah explained.

"I know how dreams work, son. And I'm not gonna sit here and dilly dally until you are out of this hospital wing! You understaaand me?"

"Yes sir."

"Oh, sorry if I'm interrupting something, but can I talk to Noah please, sir?" Cody had walked in during their conversation.

"I can't stand it around him no more. He's all yours," Hatchet said, and he left to check on some other patients lying around.

Cody sat on the edge of the bed. "So, I take it your dream wasn't the most wondrous experience."

Noah sighed and felt his head, still throbbing. "It was horrible. I fell off my bed and hit the floor twice. Then when I tried to go back to sleep, it all started again. I couldn't escape it." He pulled out a notebook from...somewhere. "I wrote down some of the major things I noticed about the dream, as well as the one from the night previous." He opened it to a page covered in small, neat handwriting and passed it to Cody.

Cody began to read the description of the dream. I won't put it here, it's just a tad bit too insane and terrifying to again put down words that were already written.

He was left wide-eyed, his hand over his mouth in shock. Shocked Noah had to see these images.

Hs closed the notebook and handed it back to Noah. "That's...horrific."

Noah just nodded and put his head back against the pillow propped against the wall.

"I can't imagine having to see that stuff. Again. I'm sorry, dude." Cody looked at Noah. He looked tired.

"It's not your fault, Cody. There's no need to apologize," Noah replied.

"I know, but you can't expect me not to react to this kind of thing."

"I don't expect that from you."

"Good." Cody gave him a small smile.

Noah turned the corners of his mouth up just a smidge, so he wasn't frowning, but not really smiling either.

It was enough for Cody. He stood up and went to sit in the chair next to the head of the bed. "I don't have to go to class if you don't want to sit here all day with Hatchet as your only company."

"Cody, you're a Ravenclaw, for Merlin's sake. You're going to class," Noah said definitely.

"You sure you'll be fine?"

"I'm awake. I'm not dreaming. That should be enough consolation, don't you think?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Cody stood up and began to walk out. "Don't throw too many parties. I'll come see you later if you're still in here."

"Whatever. Now get out!" Noah shooed him away.

Cody laughed a bit before walking out and hurrying off to class.

I'm not going to bother asking for reviews... See you next time.
