Summary: Copper Tower residents are awakened by an alarm in the middle of the night
Completion: Incomplete
Parvati had been dreaming about a normal day at the hospital with a steady stream of patients. Although, to be fair-- it was a little strange to find Dumbledore knitting patiently in the lobby along with the little girl who'd had hay fever and the irritable witch who'd contracted an itchy rash in her nether regions. Not to mention Lavender and Ron sharing a single chair, snogging enthusiastically, Sirius Black sitting with a large, slobbering black dog, and Charlie Weasley cradling a dragon's egg.
Suddenly things got frantic--there was smoke in the air and bells going off. Parvati looked around at the chaos, feeling the terror welling up inside. She no longer stood within the clean, white walls of the hospital, but she was back in the field hospital, surrounded by tents. A horrifyingly familiar face started moving toward her, even as she felt an arm grab her from behind...
She sat up with a start, looking around her darkened flat.
Just another nightmare, then...
But the bells were real, muffled by the Silencing Spell she had placed around her bedroom, but still, loud enough to penetrate her dream.
She jumped out of bed and ran to her window. The view was the same as ever, though lights were going on in the surrounding buildings.
Grabbing her dressing gown from the hook on the door, she walked through her flat, looking around, wand outstretched and lit. Nothing out of place, but the bell was beginning to make her ears hurt and her head throb. She slipped on her dressing gown and grabbed a pair of trainers near the doorway, carrying them in her free hand.
Heart pounding, she opened the door and stepped into the hall outside her flat.
