Parvati was relieved to finally be released from the hospital wing, she couldn't understand why Professor Dumbledore had kept her there for so long after the others had been released. But for some reason, he'd decided late in the afternoon that she could finally return to her dormitory.
It felt strange to be back in her own dormitory, but not, in her own bed, but not. The Gryffindor House furnishing were eerily similar to those of her own days, but somehow it all still felt not quite right.
She lay in bed for a long time that first night, unable to sleep as her mind whirled. How did they expect any of them to live this pretense of a normal life when they had so many other important things to be doing, and how were the others managing it without going mad?
She finally drifted off to sleep wondering how they expected her to manage without her sister, her twin, her other half. But strangely enough, when she woke shortly after screaming, she was screaming her own name.
