Night Visitors

She was hungry. Her stomach would not let her ignore it any longer. Perhaps Timet could give her a piece of cake. That would be a wonderful way to celebrate the evening. She felt...happy? Afraid if she accepted it, it would go away or she would feel guilty about it.

It had been so long since she felt needed and useful. Helping someone, really helping someone had felt, well it had felt like she used to when she was in the ER. Did Myrtle really see Kit? If magic existed, is it so hard to believe that there was something after death. Hadn't she always believed that until after Kit had died. After that she had believed in nothing.

She got up off the bathroom floor and began the walk to the kitchens. She was going to ask for the biggest piece of carrot cake. Then she needed to send Albus Dumbledore a thank you. She finally felt like she had gotten a little piece of herself back tonight.

Thinking about the evening and the cake she didn't notice the person following her. She was utterly surprised and unprepared for the attack when it happened.
"Legilimens." That's all she heard before the pain behind her eyes exploded.

Memories were torn from her mind. Kit as a baby, no discarded. Patients at the Er, no discarded. First meeting with Albus, perused. Rewind perused. Snape teaching her Parvo Ignis, perused. Rewind, perused. The forbidden library, perused. The potion recipe, perused. The letter to the Dark Forest, perused. Rewind, perused. The wand perused. Rewind, perused. Myrtle, perused. Rewind, perused.

She fell to her knees her hands squeezing her temples trying to stop the invasion in her mind. Back to the potion recipe, perused. Rewind perused.

"Get out of my head." She tried stopping the thoughts, controlling the memories that were being forced to her mind. Soft laughter coming from the shadows.

Severus carrying her to her room, Severus kissing her ear, Severus dancing, Severus kissing her...

"No!" she pushed as hard as she could against the invasion in her mind.

Someone else screaming and then it was over.

Blood dripped from her nose and ears. Her vision was altered so she was pretty sure she had burst blood vessels in her eyes. She could barely move she was so exhausted.

"Miss Enyd Miss Enyd." Timet's voice growing closer. "Oh no, poor Miss Enyd. Timet will help you, don't try to get up." "Dare Compleo!" Timet casting a spell on her which eased her headache and revived her mind. "Episkey!" The blood clearing from her eyes. "Reparifors!" The bleeding from her nose and ears stopping.

"Miss Enyd you look a mess. Come to the great hall and Timet will get you food and drink. Need to be careful Timet saw a cloaked person running away."

"Do you know who it was Timet?" she asked.

"No I didn't see a face. Timet sorry."

She grabbed Timet's hand and held it. "Timet you saved me. You healed me. You don't need to apologize. I need to thank you. I am very grateful you came. Do you know what that was?"

Timet held her hand as they walked to the great hall. He led her over to a table near one of the hearths. "Incendio." He waved his wand and a fire appeared.

"Food first. You ask Timet what you want after you eat. I will be right back."

"Timet I would love some carrot cake if you have it and it wouldn't be much trouble."
"Of course for you Miss Enyd."
Before he left she wanted him to know how much he was appreciated. "Timet, you are truly a blessing."

She saw his little cheeks blush before he disapparated. Within moments a very large piece of carrot cake appeared on the table with a big glass of milk. She really needed to get him some more paper and pens.
