Night stalker.

[lupercusna]

Good lord, I hope it hasn't always been this bad for him, when this happens. I'm still shaking. Sirius is in with him now, as Padfoot, I think that's the only reason Harry was able to go back to sleep in the end. I've never seen someone so terrified or so ill - he's going to be ravenous in the morning. I'll have to make certain the house-elves make an extra-large breakfast for him.

I'm certainly not going back to sleep any time soon, not after hearing that in the dead of the night, and I've certainly no interest in going back to an empty bed. I can sleep on the train tomorrow. For now I am just going to sit by his bed with all the lights on and watch him sleep, and hope to God the infernal thing doesn't flare up again. I hope I never have to hear him scream like that again.

I wish, Sirius, that we could follow him into his dreams, and protect him there.

What's happened to Potter now?

[lupercusna]

Nothing a good night's sleep and the long-overdue and increasingly difficult to come by demise of the infernal Dark Lord wouldn't cure, Draco.

He's all right now, though. Thank you for asking. Enjoying your holidays?

[potterstinks.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, that explains everything. Though in case you were wondering, it doesn't, actually.

Currently my holidays are being spent asking you about Potter in the middle of the night, so I imagine that rather nicely sums up their quality.

[lupercusna]

Well, I'm sorry to hear you are not having a good time at home, Draco. That is unfortunate.

It would seem Harry had another, rather violent nightmare, and he woke up really quite ill from it. He'll be all right, though I think he might have a very bad headache in the morning, if his scar's anything to go by.

Give your mother my best, if you would.

I am certain the entire world will now be unable to sleep with worry of Potter's bad dreams. Do let him know, as I feel sure that will help.

My Mother is asleep, but I've no doubt she'll see this when she wakes.

[lupercusna]

I will tell him you were asking after him in the morning, Draco. I'm sure that will help.

You ought to be asleep yourself, it's really rather late isn't it?

[potterstinks.livejournal.com]

I'm going to bed now, so you'll have to do without my small talk.

[lupercusna]

I will get by somehow.

Goodnight, Draco.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[lupercusna]

You're welcome, love.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

But thanks for asking.

[potterstinks.livejournal.com]

I am rather giving.

[wehaveseven.livejournal.com]

Oh no oh no

Do you have soup???

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

I'm okay, Mrs Weasley.

[lupercusna]

No soup, but plenty of chocolate.

He's all right now, Molly. No worries.
