"Lamia, Lamia!"

There was a commotion, and Lamia sat up from the bed as if waking up from a dream. Ginny and Hermione beside her had already gotten up, and she was the only one left in the room.

At this time, there was another knock on the door, accompanied by Hermione's voice, "Lamia, Mrs. Weasley asked me to call you for dinner."

Lamia was in a trance for a while, thinking she was still in a dream, but everything around her reminded her that this was reality and there was no Tom. After repeating this several times, Lamia came to her senses, but the tiredness in her body seemed to still exist.

After responding casually, Lamia started to get up and change her clothes, but the sticky and wet feeling seemed to be engraved into her bones. Every time she moved, she could feel nausea from the bottom of her heart. Lamia couldn't help but rush out to retch.

"Lamia, what's wrong with you?" Hermione was so scared that she quickly held Lamia's arm. It was cold to the touch and her skin was twitching, as if resisting something from getting deeper.

"I'm fine." Lamia swallowed the bitterness in her mouth, her eyes red and filled with natural tears, "I'm just too tired."

"How about you rest in your room for a while and I'll bring you breakfast?" Hermione's eyes were full of worry, and she wished she could bear the pain for Lamia.

"I don't want to eat anymore." Lamia covered her stomach. Although there was nothing wrong with her body, those dark and terrifying tentacles were like a nightmare, deeply trapping her mind. The excessive psychological pressure made Lamia retch again.

Hermione's heart was lifted again, "You don't look okay. I'll tell Mrs. Weasley to take you to St. Mungo's!" With a hurried sound of footsteps, Hermione disappeared on the stairs.

Lamia sighed, moved towards the room with the help of the wall, and after lying down, she lost consciousness almost instantly.

Tick ​​tick

The ethereal sound of dripping water came from afar. Lamia opened her eyes and felt as if she was in a thick black fog. Her vision was completely blocked by the fog. She stretched out her palm to touch, but could only feel nothingness.

The sound of dripping water became more and more frequent, as if the rain had suddenly gotten heavier. Lamia followed the sound of dripping water in her ears and walked in the black fog, going deeper and deeper until a black circle of light appeared in front of her eyes. As she got closer, the black halo around the circle of light gradually grew larger and extended, finally swallowing her completely.

"Lamia..."

A familiar voice enveloped Lamia. She tried to open her eyes, but a cold finger rested on her eyelids. "Who are you?"

"Lamia..."

The voice did not answer, but instead shouted her name over and over again, gradually increasing in speed until it turned into a shrill scream. The huge sound wave impact made Lamia cover her ears.

"what--"

The next second, the screams stopped abruptly and the surroundings returned to dead silence, as if nothing had ever happened. However, the lingering roar in Lamia's ears and the pain caused by the violent vibration of her eardrums were enough to prove that what had just happened was real.

[The host is being attacked by an unknown soul. Danger! Danger! Danger!]

[Eviction function activated, eviction progress: 1%… 5%… Failed! Failed! Failed! Eviction failed…]

[Forced extraction of the host's soul is in progress...]

The system in Lamia's mind kept broadcasting red alerts. Countless huge red exclamation marks appeared before her eyes. Her pupils contracted violently, and her palms were soaked with sweat. "System, what's going on now?"

[Extraction failed! System energy has been exhausted, host...]

The system's cold mechanical voice stopped instantly before it could finish the last sentence. Then, Lamia saw the light circle in the center expand at an extremely fast speed, covering the entire area. The black color swallowed everything, including the silver-haired girl standing in it.

In the darkness, a pair of warm, dry hands touched her cheeks, their movements devout and gentle, as if they were touching their most beloved possession. "Lamia, wake up."

Someone blew a gentle breath in Lamia's ear, and a familiar breath flashed by. Then she was gently picked up, and another white light appeared in front of her eyes. In just a moment, she was a hundred meters away.

Feeling her hands leaving her body, Lamia slowly opened her eyes. The light here was much warmer, at least she could see things. She stood in the center of the white light circle, facing a naked humanoid figure.

"Lamia..."

The humanoid figure stretched out its palm towards her, on which was placed a golden ring, the one she had in her dream.

Lamia didn't move, but the ring floated onto her ring finger and stuck tightly.

Immediately afterwards, the ring began to emit a soft green light, and all light sources illuminated by the light were swallowed up. Lamia's eyes fell on it, and her consciousness was pulled into it, and then she fell into nothingness again.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Lamia opened her eyes and found herself in a new environment. The repeated changes in environment made her unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, and her eyes were briefly confused.

"Lamia!"

Hermione came running over, accompanied by Mrs. Weasley, both of them with obvious worry on their faces, especially Hermione, whose robes were all buttoned wrong.

"It's okay, it's okay, sweetheart, you scared us to death." Mrs. Weasley pressed Lamia into her arms and kept stroking her head, as if to comfort her, and as if to comfort herself.

"What happened?" Lamia's head was still buzzing, and she couldn't help but pat it.

"You suddenly fainted and vomited a lot of strange things." Hermione gasped, as if frightened by the scene in her memory. "They even moved!"

Lamia had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't expect Tom to be able to do this. When she pressed her stomach inadvertently, Lamia found that she couldn't feel anything inside, and the cramps in the morning seemed to be just an illusion.

At this moment, the shining golden ring on her ring finger attracted her attention. It turned out that she was not dreaming.

When Lamia touched it, the ring didn't react at all, just like a normal ring, but Lamia knew it couldn't be that simple, otherwise why would Tom insist on letting her wear it, and even at all costs bring it to reality so that she could wear it.

"Lamia, are you feeling better?" Fred, who had been silent all the time, looked at the lifeless Lamia lying on the hospital bed with heartache. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had just cried.

"I am fine."

"Why are there so many people coming in? Go out and let the patient rest!" A lady in white came in with a tray. After driving everyone away, she handed Lamia a bottle of transparent potion.

After drinking, Lamia lay on the bed, thinking about the strange events that had just happened. She had now come to her senses. Although she could not see the face of the human-shaped object clearly, the outline was enough to show that it was Tom.

Dreams seem to be eroding reality step by step. Will she still have a safe environment?

Lamia didn't dare to think anymore. She needed to return to her world as soon as possible, no matter what method.

Lamia threw back the quilt, slipped out of the ward, then transformed into a bat and headed straight for the place where she had an appointment with Lupin.
