The beast crept slowly into the dark room. It could hear the deep breathing that betrayed the presence of two sleepers in the bedroom. It stopped its advance abruptly when the woman moved and moaned in her sleep. False alarm. It resumed moving, and nested among the dust bunnies under the bed.
Suddenly, the woman sat up and screamed. The man beside her spoke sleepily.
“Hermione, what’s the matter?”
“I dreamt there was a monster under our bed,” she said, panting.
Severus snorted. “Only children believe such non-sense. Go back to sleep.”
If the Lethifold could sneer, it would have.
