Chapter One: Into the Wardrobe

It was a warm spring day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The exams were over and the students had a week to themselves before going back home for the summer.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were heading to the Gryffindor Common Room when they ran into Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle, and Millicent Bulstrode.

"Where are you goody, goody Gryffidors going?" Malfoy asked rudely.

"Why do you care?" Ron snapped.

"Weasley you—"Malfoy started. "listen do you hear that?"

Bang! "Little Gryffidors, Little Slytherins..."

"Oh no, it's Peeves." Ron said in a panic.

"Run!" Both Malfoy and Goyle said.

All of them took of running. They went up the stairs and down the hall.

"I think we lost him." Malfoy said out of breath.

"Wait a minute." Hermione said "We're on the forbidden third floor."

"Students on the third floor!" Peeves screamed unseen.

Once again, they all took off running. They saw an open door and ran inside. Harry shut the door behind him.

They could hear Peeves "You can't hide behind that door."

Ron looked around the room. It was an empty room except for a very large wardrobe. "Quick lets hide in that wardrobe, he won't find us in there." he said.

They went to the wardrobe and climbed in. Harry held the door closed, but didn't shut it all the way because everyone knows that you should never shut yourself in a wardrobe.

"Why is it so cold in here?" Hermione asked.

"I'm not sure, let's put these coats on while we're in here." Ginny suggested.

"There's something pinching my back." Goyle said confused.

"There's something not right about this wardrobe." Millicent said.

"Harry I thought you were holding the door closed." Ron said.

"I am." Harry responded.

"Look it's getting light back here." Ginny said.
