Who: Harry & Ginny
Where: Their house (yay)
When: May 2, morning
Harry did everything right the night of May 1st. He drank calming tea, he didn't eat past six, he kept his mind as calm and empty as he possibly could, and he went to bed early. He knew none of it would work, but he couldn't take Dreamless Sleep anymore on Healer's orders, and it was always worth a try, right?
Of course, it didn't work. He always had nightmares the night before May 2nd. Even eight years later.
He woke in a cold sweat at four AM and lay there for the next two hours, trying to get back to sleep. Ginny tossed and turned a little beside him, but he made soothing noises and put his arm around her and she seemed to calm, at least outwardly.
At six he gave up, got carefully out of the bed, pulled on some socks and went downstairs. He took his time making tea, and took a tray back up to the bedroom, laying it down quietly on the bedside table before crawling back under the warm covers and curling up close to his wife.
