Severus' surroundings flickered.
Suddenly, the darkness was absolute. He was surrounded by tall trees, and he realized he was in the middle of Hermione's haunting nightmare.
This is it, he told himself.
He heard rustling from his left and turned to see what was the source. Hermione pushed through some tall scrubs and came into a very minuscule clearing that Severus himself was standing in. She looked angry. It was clear she was still fresh off the argument with Ron and Harry.
As she came closer, Severus saw her eyes were red rimmed and her face was tear stained.
His heart twisted. She'd been crying.

Severus watched as Hermione's lips moved as she silently argued with herself. Occasionally, a tear slipped out of her eye. Her walk was slightly off center and lopsided a bit. She was clearly not thinking of where she was going.
Severus followed closely behind her as she pushed deeper into the woods. The darkness made it hard to see, even a few feet in front of her, yet she continued to stumble in the darkness instead of lighting the tip of her wand.
Finally, she gasped at something Severus couldn't see yet and ducked behind a tree, watching something just beyond it.

That's when he could hear it. The chanting.
"Kill them. Kill them all."
Severus ran up behind her so he could watch the scene unfold.
The scene was frightening. Death Eaters stood in a circle decked out in their black robes and skull masks. He couldn't see their faces behind the masks, and he couldn't distinguish the voices.
The Death Eaters moved so that there was space and he could see the center of the circle.
A captive was tied up and turned away from Severus. He watched as a Death Eater brought a knife up.
Why no wand? Severus asked himself again as he watched.

Why are they saying 'them'? Severus suddenly woundered. There is only one captive. He scanned the surroundings. No one else around.
The Death Eaters moved and the light crept with them. For the first time Severus noticed the light source that illuminated the scene was the Death Eater's own wands with the tips lit. They have wands, Severus told himself, so why the knife?
Questions and uncertianity clawed at Severus' mind.
Hermione stood beside him, as if suspended. The knife sliced through the air slowly, unnaturally slowly. Severus saw her mouth open in a silent scream out of the corner of his eye.

Ignoring his urge to comfort Hermione, Severus watched the scene. The knife cut through the captive's chest.
The captive's blood created shadows as it slid down the chest and unto the ground. The captive had to dead. It was pointblank in the heart, yet he was still on his knees. The knife cut through the air again and into the captive's chest.
Again and again.
Why wasn't the captive falling?
Suddenly, the capitive turned to look toward Severus.
The captive was Severus. Then he was Ron. Then Ron was Ginny. The people Hermione cared about flashed over and over.
She was watching her loved ones die.
