His voice faded out and he drifted off, leaning over on Jez with his arm still around her shoulders. He was oblivious to everything else going on around him.
Jez woke up with a howl. She jolted upright, accidentally throwing Nate off, looking around wildly as though expecting to see a dementor or something. All she saw were her friends, the compartment, and a very startled-looking Rowena. She slumped back in her seat, lifting a hand to rub sleep out of her eyes and finding her cheeks were wet. She brushed the tears away, pretending she was pushing her fringe out of her face. "This seems to be the compartment for bad dreams," she remarked, smiling to cover the momentary lapse in her 'wall'. The colour was returning to her pale face, which helped pass over the sticky moment. She rubbed her arm, looking out of the window without really seeing the scenery. She hated how she couldn't keep up her wall when she was sleeping.
