Going to bed that night after she had snapped at Tonks, Evalina had a terrible night terror. The worst thing about her night terrors was that they would all come to pass in the future. That made Evalina terrified.

The inhabitants of 12 Grimmauld Place were woken up by a unsettling, chilling scream. 

The adults of the household scrambled into dressing gowns, hastily grabbing their wands, thinking that one of the children had been attacked.

However, they soon discovered the screaming was coming from the room were Evalina was staying, and when they opened the door, they were met with a horrifying sight.

Evalina was convulsing on her bed, her eyes glazed over, her hair black with pain, words carved on the back off her hand and arms scratched.

She was screaming like she had the Cruciatus curse put on her. 

Molly immediately rushed over, muttering 'Ferula.' on both of Evalina's arms. Bandages wrapped themselves around her arms, the scratches turning less red. She tried healing spells on the words on the back of Evalina's hands, but to no avail. She turned helplessly to the rest saying, ''I need potions. Calming Draught, Fatiguing Infusion, Revive Potion and Murtlap Essence. Get Snape now, tell him it's urgent. I don't care how you contact him, Patronus, Floo Network, whatever. I need it quick! And, get Dumbledore if you can.''

Remus hurried out of the room with Tonks. By now, the children of the house had been woken up by Evalina's relentless screaming, who Molly had forgotten to put a silencing charm on, and were strating to come to the door.

''Mum? Who's screaming?'' said Fred, trying to peek through the people in the room.

''Silencio!'' said Sirius, pointing at Evalina, who's screaming ceased immediately.

 Molly nodded gratefully at him, before yelling at the children, ''Go to bed! I do not want to tell you twice.''

''Someone was just screaming-'' said George indignantly.

''Boys, to bed! All of you, I mean it.'' screamed Molly, frustrated.

''To bed.'' said Arthur seriously, which unsettled the twins, Ron and Ginny. They had never seen their dad be so serious, so they left and Harry and Hermione reluctantly followed after them.

Molly returned to calming Evalina down, to no success, but her eyes were no longer glazed, now closed. Her mouth was open in a silent scream.

They waited about 4 minutes until Snape came rushing in, carrying the correct potions.

''Oh, thank God.'' breathed Molly, snatching the Revive Potion out of his hands and carefully pouring it down Evalina's throat.

Evalina breathed heavily, then shot up, gasping.

Molly spoke softly, ''You're okay.''

Evalina said nothing, still breathing frantically, then looked at her hand, wincing.

''Oh, you poor dear. Does it hurt badly?'' Molly said concerned, before summoning a small bowl, taking the Murtlap Essence bottle and emptying it into there. 

She took both of Evalina's hands, which were slightly shaking and put them in the bowl. 

Evalina felt a wave of relief pour over her, her hair slowly fading back to its original ash brown colour. The Essence was helping.

Dumbledore rushed in the door, followed by Remus and Tonks.

He went straight to Evalina, and didn't bother with beating around the bush.

''I know this may be painful to recall, but what did you see, Evalina?'' he said, but he was cut off by an angry Molly Weasley who, in her annoyance must've forgotten she was basically speaking to her boss, said ''Albus! Do you think that's important right now? The poor girl is traumatised!''

''I find it necessary for us to know what Evalina saw, in case it concerns anyone's safety-''

''Dumbledore. It might be better to wait until the morning. Just a suggestion, as.. well, Evalina is clearly terrified right now.'' Lupin interrupted, saying the last bit in a whisper. 

They looked around at Evalina, who's hair was white and was shaking more than before.

Dumbledore almost looked taken aback at people questioning his authority, but did not question it, his face staying impassive, his stupid eyes twinkling. 

''Okay, Evalina, I'm going to give you a potion. It's going to make you very sleepy.'' said Molly.

''St Mungo's.'' Evalina said quietly, her eyes widening in recognition.

She picked up the bottle and swallowed it down. She felt very tired suddenly and collapsed onto the bed.

Molly picked up the empty bottles and started to get out of the room, indicating the others to do so as well, and shooting Dumbledore a dirty look.
