SMN's POV

Sylvine woke up with shouts. She passed a hand through her face and stood up. She got out of her own bedroom and went to her fellow roommate to find him in the middle of a nightmare. Looked like they were back. She got out of their quarters to hear silence. So that's why only she had heard it...

"Miss Nott?"

Sylvine looked to find Rosier Jr doing his rounds around the labyrinthine corridors.

"Kari's locket broke yesterday. He doesn't have his nightlight anymore to hold back his nightmares."

Rosier Jr hummed.

"With Professor Riddle?" He asked and she nodded. "I'll go see if Professor has already fixed it."

"Be fast, because the more time he sleeps the more he loses control." Sylvine offered. "In beginning he would turn our quarters upside down."

"When did it stop?"

"When he started sleeping with the locket, on the night of the Bad Omen."

Rosier Jr nodded.

"I'll see what I can do." He agreed and hurried down the corridors.

Sylvine entered the quarters again only to hear silence. She went to Kari's bedroom to find the boy awake as he fast breathed, most likely having screamed himself awake like the last time.

"Did... did I wake you?"

"Don't worry about it. I was having a stupid dream that I wanted out."

Kari stared back blindly, before he nodded. He made no move to pick the glasses, he stayed in a sitting position holding himself as he fast breathed. A knock on the door behind Sylvine made her look only to find Professor Riddle running in with a nod at Sylvine before he entered the bedroom. He had actually run here...

"What was it about?" The Dark Lord demanded as he set one hand on Kari's cheek and another on his wrist to measure his pulse.

"Coach."

"He won't hurt you ever again." Dark Lord argued.

"Yes, he will!" Kari snapped and the bedroom door was closed on the girl's face.

Sylvine turned towards Rosier Jr with a raised eyebrow because the other closed the door.

"Do you know who He is?" The other asked and she nodded. "Then you should know better than to see Him like this."

Sylvine sighed and leaned against the wall as Rosier Jr leaned against the other, both protecting the door as the Dark Lord calmed down Kari.

"What did Kari mean by Coach will still hurt him?" She wondered.
