Screech – Horror at Hogwarts

Okay, I had an idea to combine Scream and Harry Potter, and so here it is. I'm not sure if someone else has already tried this, but I hope this is an original idea! This is the first real shot I've ever had at doing anything even remotely down the horror track, I usually stick to Fantasy Stuff, anyways, R/R this, and if I get a few reviews, I'll do chapter 2.

Chapter 1:

Potions class, not exactly the best way to finish the school week. Harry, Ron, Hermione and all of the other 5th year Gryffindors and Slytherins sat in the dark dungeon, trying to avoid the glaring gaze of Snape as they furiously prepared their ingredients and threw them into the cauldron. They were trying to make a potion that could give someone the cold, the opposite of ones they had made to cure it in previous years. Of course, the problem with the potion was that it needed a ridiculous amount of time to boil, so long in fact that they had only 10 minutes to prepare all of their ingredients, and there were so many of them, meaning there were badly chopped roots and uneven amounts of other strange liquids.

There was a sudden knock on the door, as Filch walked in, he didn't say anything, he just walked up to Snape and said something to him quietly, so none of the students could hear. Harry was sitting up the very front of the class, and so "accidentally" listened in to what they were saying.

'…… needed outside, ……… fire……..are needed to help…..the students here…..want them to worry.'

Seconds later, Snape and Filch had left the room, leaving the students alone. It was only a few seconds later when there was a loud bang from above them, and a group of fourth year students, led by Colin Creevy, stepped into the dungeon.

'What are you doing here?' Draco demanded. 'We're trying to have a class here.'

'Yeah,' Muttered Ron next to Harry 'A class with absolutely no teacher.'

'But..but..' Colin stuttered. 'Our teacher told us we had to go find all the students in the dungeons, all the students are evacuating the castle, we need to get out of here now.'

'Well.' Ron said, picking up his books. 'If it's an excuse to get out of potions, why should we stay?'

'Hmph.' Malfoy snorted. 'Or maybe we should stay here, why would they evacuate the castle, it's not as though we're being attacked or something, are we?'

There was another explosion, this time closer, most of the class jumped.

'We ARE being attacked.' Colin stressed. 'There are all these explosions around the castle, and the Quidditch Pitch is burning down. So we should leave now!!'

It took only a couple of seconds for the whole class to have left, with Malfoy leaving only a short time later……
