Harry could not remember waking. One moment he was asleep, the next he was engaged in a duel, three against one. The Dark Lord's eyes were a fiery red, as he shot spell after spell at him and his friends. Hermione took up shielding, Ron was manoeuvring them, looking for a tactical advantage. Harry was meeting the parsel-spells head-on. He spotted Snape on the bed, choked by a wooden snake-bannister that had come to life. Harry wanted to help but knew that Tom would use every opening. So, he resorted to shielding his follower and then engaged in the fight. When a few Lumos were stacked on top of each other, blinding them, he floundered. But the assault never ceased. Harry needed a few moments to feel for Snape's magic through the mark before he could Nox the light.
