WHO Hermione Granger & Oz Osbourne WHAT Nightmares are No Fun WHEN Late Thursday night WHERE Their place WARNINGS TBD; likely references/discussion of Hermione's time with Bellatrix STATUS Closed | Incomplete
Hermione had been tossing and turning the past few nights, but it wasn't until tonight that she woke up in the middle of the night. She'd been trapped to the floor as Bellatrix tortured her and after a painfully long bout of the Cruciatus curse, her tormentor had gone to cast the killing curse. In between that moment and the next, Hermione shot up in bed and released some of her magic in an attempt to blast her attacker back. It meant the bookshelf got attacked instead and there was quite the clatter as the shelves broke and books spilled out onto the floor.
It took her longer than she cared to admit to realize that she was safely at home in Madison Valley and not stuck in Malfoy Manor. Once she did, she turned to Oz, eyes wide and her hair a bit wild. "Sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't-" Hermione was trembling still, terrified and exhausted all at once. Tears gathered in the corner of her eyes and she just reached for her boyfriend. She wanted to fix the bookshelf but she didn't trust herself at the moment.
