The day had been long but uneventful, but Hermione had booked an appointment with one of the counselors for later that week, even though she felt like she was dealing with everything fairly well.  It was only at night, when she woke in the small hours from a nightmare, that she slipped downstairs and quietly cried.  Even then, more often than not, Severus sensed her distress and came to her.  She hoped talking with the counselors would help her deal with the nightmares too.  Last night with Lucius she had actually slept through the night, and it was the first time since her rescue that she had done so.  She hoped that it meant that the nightmares were beginning to pass.
