The horros that I face

[courageous_wit]

Who: Hermione Granger and YOU!!
What: Having nightmares
When: during the nightmare plot
Where: in her mind~~
Rating: PG-13 to R just to be safe, because reasons

[Hermione can feel her mind taking her to dark places. She can feel herself traveling somewhere she doesn't want to go. These are things she hasn't thought of but are always in the back of her mind.

When her mind settles she stands in front of a house. There are tears in her eyes because of what she had to do. The road is empty: she is alone. There are paths to take but none of them look inviting. Of course she could go back into the house, but when she turns around it's already gone. She has no choice now but to face whatever the dream will show her]

[Ow. Hello floor. The Once-ler hits it with a thud, then gingerly pulls himself to his feet]

What do I do? How do I get rid of it?

[courageous_wit]

Th..the sword... [what it's a dream it does what it wants]

Be quiet, you filty Mudblood! Or do you want me to carve into your pretty little skin again?

[whichwayyoulean]

There's a sword? Where? [He'll start looking for it frantically]

[courageous_wit]

[Bellatrix cackles, twirling Hermione helplessly around in the air]

Only a true Gryffindor can call it. And where is it? Nowhere! No true Gryffindors here!

[whichwayyoulean]

[This is where definitely NOT being a Gryffindor even if he was born into Hermione's world works against the Once-ler]

Okay, hey, crazy lady? It's time to quit she's not done a thing to you, okay? So just let her go. [He's glancing around for something he can smack this nutjob on the head with. Oh, that candelabra will do nicely, he leans carefully over to grab it from the table]

[courageous_wit]

Once-ler!! [she struggles and manages to get free. Ouch, that was not a pleasant fall]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He turns to look at her, his concern enough to distract him for a moment] You okay?

[courageous_wit]

Yes, I'm fine, now please... don't. [luckily dream!Bellatrix seems to really like that knife] I don't want you to get hurt.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He'll move to stand somewhat protectively beside her] So who's the nutjob? Can we get past her and out of here?

[courageous_wit]

Bellatrix Lestrange. She's a Dark Wizard. I'll have to duel her... I think.

[whichwayyoulean]

...When you say 'duel' you don't mean with a sword do you?

[courageous_wit]

[Hermione holds up her wand, which seems to amuse Bellatrix]

The little Mudblood wants to play.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Nope. Not a sword. Okay, it's all you.


Good luck?

[courageous_wit]

[she's usually very good at getting out a spell before the other person. But in this nightmare, Bellatrix beats her to it]

Crucio!! [Hermione screams and falls to the floor]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Okay he has no idea what that spell is but it does NOT sound good. He races to Hermione's side]

Hey, Hermione? Hermione you okay?

[courageous_wit]

[she breathes heavily, trying not to pass out. Her wand drops out of her hands]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Yeah no way is he even going to touch that thing]

Just stay with me, okay?

[courageous_wit]

[she breathes slowly and manages to nod. She's still conscious, but just barely. Meanwhile, dream!Bellatrix is cackling with the smoke snake by her side]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Oh good, he'll stay by her side, not quite sure what to do. Rushing the crazy woman didn't really do anything, and he doesn't fancy his chances with the wand]

[courageous_wit]

[if Once-ler thought Bellatrix was bad, she is changing into someone even more terrifying: Dolores Umbridge]

Now, dear, if you just admit you're not a witch this can all stop.

[whichwayyoulean]

[WHAT IS WITH ALL THE PINK? OH GOD D:]

Okay new person, wonderful, great.

[courageous_wit]

[don't forget the bow on her head]

Perhaps you would like to join in? You can write "I am an insignificant Muggle" over and over again.

No... [Hermione stirs, struggling to fight back] Muggles aren't... insignificant.

Very well, dear. Just write "I am not a witch" and you can both go home.

[whichwayyoulean]

...Wow I think that lady took lessons from my mother.

[Anyway, trying to help Hermione up] You have the crazies people in your life, just thought you should know that.

[courageous_wit]

[sorry, Once, but Hermione has to lean on you a little. The blood loss and magical attacks made her very weak]

Yes... I know. That one was a teacher at my school once.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He's cool with that, he's of a handy height for it]

...Seriously? Who spit in her cereal?
