#6 A close encounter (continued)

Hanna smiled to herself as she watered her plants, the sun shined through the glass windows of the green and her humming filled the area as she moved around the area. The young Slytherin tended to one of the smaller plants before pausing as she stared at its beautiful leaves, she couldn't say for sure but in that moment she felt what she thought was true happiness and peace.

Seconds passed by as she continued to happily hum her head tilted as something shined against the leaves of the plants in front of her, confusion covering her features before she reached out and touched the plant; whatever it was that caused the shine it definitely wasn't the plant. Hanna swallowed before standing to her full height, the hair on the back of her neck standing on end as she slowly turned around to see what had caused the mysterious shining; there it was, the large daymoth that had attacked her the previous day.

Fear replaced the confusion as it lunged for, a scream tearing from her throat as she sat up in her hospital bed; sweat dripped down her face as her eyes frantically moved around the room only to land on Madam Pomfrey. "Sorry..." Her voice small and fragile as she took a deep breath in, hoping it would calm her down before continuing "Bad dream", forcing a smile before wiping away the sweat with back of her hand and moving up on the bed so she could lay against her headboard.

Hanna sighed and looked down at her hands as she played with her fingers, her shoulders slumping slightly as what had happened yesterday hit her like a ton of bricks; she had almost died, if it wasn't for Amara just happening upon them then she wouldn't be here today.

"Physically, I feel a lot better than I did yesterday" She gave a sad laugh as she looked up at Madam Pomfrey before looking to a nearby window "Mentally? I think that might take a little longer to heal but I'll be okay, I always am". The Slytherins voice was quiet before she took a deep breath and moved to sit on the edge of the bed.

"So when can I leave Doc?" A cheeky smile pulled at her lips as she looked up, her hair falling in front of her face as she kicked her legs back and forth.
