They had been walking that dark corridor for hours now.

"What is that smell?

"How am I suppose to know?"

"You-know-who used this place. Could be anything."

"It smells like your socks, Michael!"

"Guys-"

That was Lisa's voice. She was standing farther away in an area so dark that Mandy stumbled on her friend and fell.

She screamed.

She had fallen into a pile of something wet and disgusting. A viscous liquid splashed her face, soaking her hair. It was putrid. She struggled to get away and when the boys finally focused their wands on her they saw it. Another scream.

Michael pulled the girl away from the pile of human organs. Hearts, intestines, lungs and bladders, soaked in blood and other bodily fluids. Terry held her hair as she turned to vomit. They covered their noses and stepped back as they noticed Lisa. She was still standing there staring at the vastness of corpses piling up ahead. There seemed to be something viscous over her feet.

"Oh, my God, this is creepy."

"It's disgusting, that's what it is!"

"It's just body parts, Terry."

"Lisa, come here!"

"Why are you standing there?"

"Tony?" Lisa called. "Terry?" She sounded scared "Guys, I think I can't see."

"What do you mean?"

"I can't see!"

"What's wrong with her?"

"This is so creepy."

"Lisa, I'm going to get you."

"What's this in my feet?"

"Just kick it away."

"No! Not in my direction."

"That's okay, Lisa, don't cry."

"I am not crying! I can't see! I want to get out of here!"

"Come with me. I've got you! Another step."

"What is this place?"

"I think I'm gonna be sick!"

"Guys-" It was Lisa again. Terry was holding her arms, helping her to walk. "Terry, I can't move anymore!"

"What?"

"I just can't. My legs hurt. My head hurts. Everything is burning!"

"Guys, she has a fever!"

"She's shaking!"

"Her nose is bleeding!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"We have to leave!"

"We're not leaving her behind."

"I didn't say that."

"Let me think, just let me think!"

Lisa was screaming and shaking uncontrollably now. Then, she suddenly stopped.

"Lisa, you're going to be okay. Do you hear me?" Terry was asking the questions, but he wasn't the only one. Lisa was asking the same questions at the same time.

"Lisa, are you okay?"

"What's she doing?"

She doubled all of their voices. At first she murmured then she raised her voice.

"Lisa, stop!"

"What is this place?"

"Lisa? Lisa?" Terry was shaking the girl up. She looked at him.

"Lisa? Lisa? Stop that! Let her go!" They froze. Lisa and Terry spoke exactly at the same time. It was as thought they had rehearsed it, or, better yet, as though she was reading his mind.

"I was going to say that! Are you in my head? Apples! Pumpkins! Bananas! Purple socks! Where is my Lisa? What are you?" Terry had only said the first couple of sentences at the same time as the girl. Then Lisa started to anticipate what he was going to say. It was scary to watch.

Then she was silent.

It took a minute to speak again. And this time she turned to face them, as if she had regained her vision.

"I am not Lisa."

Her body fell down.

"Oh, my God!"

"Is she dead?"

"What is this place?"

"Don't touch that thing!"

"She's dead. I think she's dead!"

"We have to get away."

"Tony, what are we going to do? Anthony?!"

"Guys,..." It was Anthony, "I think I can't see."

A/N: I wrote this last year, for The Not For The Faint of Heart Competition | Operation Horror Drabble. It's fast paced, but it was supposed to be. As such, I focused on the horror and gore, and didn't lose much time in explanations (other than what's on the summary). Sadly it was one of those competitions in which the winners were never announced and prizes were not distributed.

Now I'm including this drabble in the following challenges: Minor character Boot Camp: prompt 47 - creepy If you dare challenge: prompt 371 - dead All those characters: 203 - Lisa Turpin

Because it was a drabble, I didn't have enough words for a lot of explanation... For the record, the characters are Anthony Goldenstein, Michael Corner, Terry Boot, Lisa Turpin and Mandy Brocklehurst, all Ravenclaws sorted in Harry's year.

I've always thought that Harry, Ron and Hermione could not have been the only ones that tried to do something to save the world. I mean, if I was there I would have tried to do something... (Hence the quote at the start. And a group of Ravenclaws, convinced that they were cleverer than anyone else their age (and most of those who were older), who happened to come across a lead about a place the Dark Lord was supposed to have used in the past...? Even if they didn't know what that was all about they would have tried to investigate... This is how these... investigations can go terribly wrong
