If that was the case, then Pam would be dreaming about Jez dead, not Nate as well. Or maybe her dreams had moved on from that? Jez shuddered.
Jez frowned. "Then I have no idea what that could have done to you, or if it's even finished." That was a scary thought - what if the poison wasn't done with Nate, and came back for another, maybe more harmful, dose? "Merlin's pants," muttered Jez, rubbing her eyes. It was way too much. "Have you check your dorm?" she asked Nate. "Is there a note yet? Was there an owl? Is it still there?" If it was, they could send it back to the sender, maybe was a way of tracking it. She could always ask the Room of Requirement for something like that. Jez was unconsciously growing to trust the creepy Room which had saved their lives last term.
Nate was about to speak up again when he felt something drop heavily onto his legs. Looking lazily back over his shoulder, and hearing her talk, proved that it was only Pam, having lagged behind. "You look tired, too," he said as he looked between the two girls. They really did. Perhaps tonight wasn't the night to have a talk.
But, Jez had asked a crucial question that Nate could only fail to answer. "No,
I haven't been to the dorms yet. So all I know is that there may or may not be a letter. If there is, I'll tell you tomorrow. I don't want to get up right now." He lay his head down on the armrest of the couch and reached over to take Jez's hand. He wasn't asleep yet, but pretty darn close. Long day...
