August 15th, 1998, Black household •

A blood chilling scream echoed through the house. The residents of the house was up the next second with their wands out. They opened their respective doors peering outside.

Ginny came downstairs and ran to her mother, her face pale, still in her nightwear. Molly pestered her, worried for her daughter.

Ginny managed to squeak out two words. "Its..Percy.." As if on cue, another scream rang threw the house.

Molly assumed the worst and rushed to their guest's room. The others were already crowding the door way to the room.

Hermione had woken up to screaming. Startled she whipped out her wand. Looking the room, she shared with Percy and Ginny, she realised that it was Percy who had screamed. She scrambled up to her bed casting a quick lightning charm. Percy's face was contorted in fear, an emotion she hadn't seen on the girl's face, along with pain. She was trashing in her bed and muttering something.

"No! Please leave her! No!"

Hermione didn't feel safe to wake her up as she was trashing around. Must be a nightmare, she decided. She searched the room for water, which was nowhere in sight. Her eyes landed on a piece of paper neatly folded and kept on the table besides Percy's bed. She snatched it and opened it.

Dear whoever is reading,
First off, I apologize for all the chaos I must be making. Please do not, I mean, DO NOT approach which would result in physical harm for you. Then take something sharp, preferably a knife and throw it at me. Don't worry, I'm trained and this is one of the only things that helps me to wake up from a nightmare. Please do it or you'll be awake for the rest of the night.

P.S If you can, please get some first aid and some water. Thank you.

By the time Hermione finished, the others were there too. She quickly ordered the twins to get the things required to which they were utterly confused but did it nevertheless. The others were able to hear the mutterings too. Hermione told Molly everything and kept everyone away from her bed.

The twins apparated back with the things required. Hermione took the knife from them and readied it to throw it. She quickly threw it inspite of the protests from others. She took her wand out to stop the knife if Percy doesn't do it. The knife just went over her stomach when she caught it. Percy shot upright on the bed and took deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Percy...you okay?"

She just nodded slowly and groaned softly when she moved and that was when the others saw the blood coating her shirt and arms. Molly rushed to her.
