Harry didn’t remember much, and he was pretty sure all he was remembering was a dream: he remembered Queens, and he remembered looking at his old school, the grass beneath his feet. Bare feet? He wasn’t sure, but he remembered the moisture of the dew on the blades.
There were a few other things: a flash of green. Someone – a guy, a young guy – crying out. In fear? In pain? Harry wasn’t sure; he just remembered the sound and how it seemed so far away and so close at the same time.
He remembered his reflection in a puddle; twisted and greenish and wrong, completely uncrecognizable, but somehow so utterly himself that he couldn’t question it. He remembered plans. He remembered a snapping sound, a leap, a bunch of things that didn’t really add up, didn’t paint any picture that made sense.
But that was because it was a nightmare, Harry reminded himself.
Until he got out of bed and saw and dark blades of grass clinging to his feet.
