For a man who's never been to Hell, Harry Potter's got his share of demons.

The wand he keeps locked away is broken, but things happen around him. Doors lock and unlock by themselves. A demon John hauls out of a little boy goes for Harry and burns screaming in green fire even as Harry, unarmed, throws up his arms to protect his head.

When he wakes screaming, John pulls him back down and untangles him from the sheets, then tangles both of them back up in them, and doesn't ask what Harry's afraid the holy water won't keep out.
