Summary: Dean's been moved to general care from intensive care and gets a check-in from Terry.
Rating: Worksafe

Dean was was a very patient person, but he wasn't a very good patient. His recovery, though magically aided was not going to be an overnight process, and all he wanted to do was get back home. Though part of him knew that being home would just throw into full view the thought that he hadn't wanted to face yet. He'd been told, gently as possible, that his right hand was going to take a very long time to heal. Worse, he'd been told there was a chance he wouldn't regain the full use of it. Considering that he could hardly feel his hand at all, and his fingers didn't respond when he moved them, that fear was very very real.

His bones had grown back. It had been an excruciating process, even with the medicated potion he'd been given to sleep, and it made him wonder how Harry had borne it in fourth year. But it was all the muscle and nerve damage that was the problem. He wasn't sure if the damage to them could be repaired and from the looks of the mediwizards and witches, they weren't sure either.

Dean looked down at his carefully bandage right hand and exhaled slowly doing his best to keep back the sudden feeling of futility that overcame him. What would he do if he couldn't use his hand again? He looked up then as someone came into the room.

"They're hers?" Terry said, somewhat surprised at that thought about the memories. "Or you mean something she collects from other people since these memories aren't hers in that way? But to have made the situations in which such things were produced--she would've had to been quite mental."

"Same here. I think it would make it much easier to catch her. Well you are probably safer now in the sense that the entire wizarding world would know her face and it isn't only you and Ron that would recognize what she looks like now."

Dean rubbed his forehead trying to remember what he'd seen, what he'd gleaned from the woman. "I...I don't know for sure. I do know I watched her take a spot off Seamus's mum as she..." Dean swallowed over the word 'died' and kept going, "and put it in that box of hers. I remember her seeming reluctant to torture information out of me, screaming that she was trying to go easy on me or something...and then she just went mad. Different. The best way I could explain it is as though there was someone else in there with her. That's the one we need to worry about. That's..."

Suddenly everything fell into place at once. What Lavender had been accusing Bianca of, what the DA had mentioned about the box, about Pandora, about the nightmare memories - it all clicked. "Pandora. Pandora's in that woman's head. I don't know how, but it's her doing this.She wants her memories back. They're all memories of torture right? Pandora was probably the one doing it. She was famous for it. And somewhere her memories got free. I don't know why they attached to certain people but that's why she's hunting them down. To get them back."

Why couldn't he have figured this out sooner? And all of that didn't help because he still didn't know who the woman with the dark hair was.

Terry looked away from Dean for a moment as he spoke of Seamus' mum, knowing what he meant as he spoke, but his eyes made their way back to Dean when he mentioned the two different-seeming personalities.

"It sounds like Pandora possessed that woman. Do you think that would be possible?" He asked, as the symptoms did sound like that was the case. "As in she speaks, behaves and may even look one way at one point--and then at the next moment she becomes something else?"
