....Harry?.....Are you all right?

[Estelle think she has figured out what this dream is about and if she is right, she knows the young man might need some comfort. Which she would not mind to offer]

[sonuvasnitch]

[Harry starts when the call comes through and he takes a deep albeit shaky breath before answering.]

Yeah...yeah I'm fine. I just haven't had that dream in awhile.

[He offers Estelle a smile to show he's okay but it's shaky at best.]

[not_bouncing]

[Well, that doesn't make her feel any less worried. Her eyes widen slightly]

You have that dream often? Oh Harry! That's horrible! How....how do you manage?

[sonuvasnitch]

[Harry shakes his head this time the smile he wears is a bit more reassuring.]

No...I mean, it's literally been a few years since I've had it.

[Though he doesn't bother mentioning that in one year he was having it almost every other night.]

I just deal I guess...I mean...it was a long time ago...

[1blackcat]

...What was that?

[sonuvasnitch]

It was a spell...a killing curse...

[1blackcat]

Hahh? Spell? That--

[ looks up from his spot on the couch, staring at Harry's room. He stands slowly, moving over towards the door and pausing outside of it ]

...Harry.

[ In Person ]

[sonuvasnitch]

[Harry starts again at D's voice and looks towards the door. His ears flush a little embarrased that his roommate would have heard his scream.]

I'm okay!

[Physically at least.]

[ In Person ]

[nothiskidthanks]

Are you? [ he doesn't believe it ]

...Do you need anything?

[ In Person ]

[sonuvasnitch]

[No he definitely wasn't okay and his voice shows it.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bad dream....

[albhedbnehlacc]

[Rikku feels the dream's effects and the familiar feeling of fear is like a knot in her stomach.]

...Harry? What was that?

[sonuvasnitch]

It was a killing curse...sorry. I would have preferred if that wasn't a recorded dream...

[albhedbnehlacc]

[She shakes her head.]

It's not your fault. These Dreamberries aren't exactly the most reliable things in the world.

...You gonna be okay?

[sonuvasnitch]

[Harry nods though he still looks shaken.]

Yeah, I'll be fine.

[mudbloodhater]

[Draco's never been much for tragic memory dreams. Especially ones involving the Dark Lord. He's a bit awkward, in fact, even as he delivers his standard biting remarks, it's obvious he's not all there.]

Dreaming of dear mummy and daddy, are we, Potter?

[sonuvasnitch]

[Either way Harry definitely doesn't have the patience to deal with Draco's mess right now.]

Sod off, Malfoy.

[He starts to reach for the dreamberry to hang up unless you get something in quick]

[mudbloodhater]

Just don't go blaming me for your family issues. I had nothing to do with that rot.

[hang up or not, he just felt like he needed to say something. Some part of him that needs to be recognised. Not grateful for something normal, Harry?]

[sonuvasnitch]

[Harry's teeth grit but he does pause at hanging up right away. He just glares at the phone for a moment.]

I never said it was your fault, Malfoy. You're not that special.
