"I have to; otherwise my nightmares would overwhelm me!" At her look, he continues; "They didn't start until after the second one; but, immediately after having to... do it, I dream I'm walking through the halls of Hogwarts, being followed by the people I've killed. I have to try and hide from them; otherwise they will try to hurt me. I've always woken up before they did anything to me, but its" nerve wracking at times. This latest nightmare was different though. It started same as always, but as I went to hide from my... victims, I went into a room I hadn't seen before. Inside, there was a mirror that showed my parents. I ended up inside the mirror with them, and we talked for a couple of minutes. I don't think they were simply part of the dream; they felt a little too real, if you know what I mean. And they were saying things about my plans, and that our goals were laudable. My dad also warned me that you might have a hard time dealing with what happened, and I swore I would do whatever I could to help you through it. And I will, Hermione. No matter what."
