Here's the new chapter:) I apologize if it doesn't sound too great of a chapter...I tried to make it sound good as I could.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!
"So, Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban…To come after you?" Ron was the first to speak out after Harry finished explaining each of us about Sirius Black on the loose while the train continued to roll through the tracks heading towards our destination to Hogwarts.
"Yeah..." Harry softly let out looking a bit unease as this wasn't really a great subject to feel proud about.
"Hardly anyone escapes from Azkaban…How did could he…?" I wondered out loud while looking at him and hearing his response.
"I don't know." Harry answered as he looked at me and I felt a strange feeling brewing inside my stomach but this was not time to let my internal feelings let loose.
"But they'll catch Black won't they? I mean everyone's looking for him." Hermione remarked and that was true, everyone in the magical community was on the lookout for the mass murderer and hopefully he will be caught before he begins to claim more lives.
"Sure. Except no one's ever broken out of there before, he's a murderous, raving lunatic." Ron looked at Hermione for a few seconds before glancing at me and then at Harry and hearing his statement really didn't brighten the mood.
"Thanks Ron." Harry sarcastically let out to his best friend as Hermione and I both gave a Ron a quick glare while he gave us an apologetic look before we suddenly felt the train coming to a complete stop.
"Why are we stopping? We can't be there yet." Hermione started to panic and I felt a bit concern too but there had to be some unexplained reason to why we suddenly came to a halt.
"Maybe something happened." I let out trying to sound calm about the situation as Harry stood up from his seat only to be pushed back down from the jolt of the train and nearly knocking me over in the process.
"Sorry, Amelia…" He spoke out as he sat up and helped me soon afterwards while I smiled at him knowing I was okay.
"It's alright, Harry." He looked at me with a smirk appearing on his lips as Ron's voice panicked in the air.
"What's going on?"
"Don't know. Maybe we've broken down." Once the words came out of Harry's mouth, the lights within the train completely blacked out as we were now sitting in a dark compartment creating a suspenseful atmosphere.
"Ow, Ron that was my foot!" I heard Hermione shouting for being stepped on as the only light came from outside the window where I was able to spot out Ron's outline peering through the glass.
"There's something moving out there." Ronald let out sounding afraid as the lights flickered back on and the sounds of the pouring rain continued to pound against the top of the Hogwarts Express as Harry and I exchanged curious glances before looking over at Hermione before all of us now looked outside the water stained window.
As the lights began to disappear again, they remained dead and we were now shrouded in complete darkness and the train was still unable to move along the tracks. Something definitely wasn't right.
"I think someone's coming aboard." Ron whispered out softly as the train began to jolt a second time causing me to gasp out from the surprise movement.
The air started to lower the temperature on the train as it was becoming frigid and I was able to see my own breath escaping from my mouth while my eyes noticed the ice forming within the window to the bottle of clear liquid sitting by the sleeping professor. Everywhere was cold and icy as the train shook a few more times.
"BLOODY HELL…! What's happening?" Ron shouted out while being pushed back in his seat and it was clear that none of us knew what was going on while I suddenly had this feeling of sadness wrapping all over my body and the freezing temperatures in the compartment didn't help either and only made it worse.
In the corner of my eye I caught the glimpse of the large dark hooded figure floating inches away from the door that separated us from the ghastly creature. I couldn't see its face by the black tattered cloak it wore as I could only see its grey skeletal hands reaching towards the handle of the compartment. In one swift motion of its hand, the locked door opened to let the creature inside and hovered in the entrance. It was looking around the compartment, looking for something as Crookshanks violently hissed in defense and Ron's rat scurried within his coat pocket while Atticus and Hedwig were stationed with the rest of the owls in one of the stock cars hoping they were alright.
The dark cloaked figure studied its attention towards Harry and me and in response I gripped Harry's arm out of fear as suddenly the hooded figure started to create an indescribable vortex sucking the life out of my friend. Harry is in danger and I felt I couldn't do anything, I felt utterly defenseless against this creature as Harry needed help.
As he heard my thoughts, Professor Lupin was fully awake and pushed himself up from his seat with his wand out and aimed at the horrid creature casting a blinding soft white luminous light at the tip of his wand. The creature made a hissing cry before vanishing from the compartment and ultimately the train as it disappeared with my attention fully focused on my attacked friend.
"Harry!" He was unresponsive to my voice as he fell on my lap and blacked out.
"He's alright. Let him rest for a while and I'll explain what happened once he wakes up." My brown eyes glanced up at the professor who studied my face for a few seconds before letting a small smile realizing the presence of his Goddaughter sitting in the same room with him. Professor R.J. Lupin is indeed my godfather.
"Thank you, Professor…" I spoke to him feeling relieved that Harry was going to be fine and after several minutes ticked by, he began to open up his eyes.
"Harry?" I softly spoke out to him as he lifted himself off my lap and stared at me with his deep blue eyes while I handed his glasses back to him. "Here, are your glasses." He cracked up a small smirk and took them.
"Thank you."
"Here, eat this. It'll help." Lupin's voice let out as in his hand was a large piece of chocolate for Harry to eat and Harry gratefully accepted it.
"What was that thing that came?" Harry wanted to know the answer about the mysterious cloaked creature that nearly attacked him while Professor Lupin soon answered him.
"It was a Dementor. They are known to be one of the guards of Azkaban. It's gone now. It was searching the train for Sirius Black. Now if you excuse me, I need to have a little word with the driver. Eat. You'll feel better." My godfather later stepped out of the compartment and left us to take care of our friend who began to eat the chocolate slowly.
"What happened to me…?" Harry suddenly let out with all our eyes focused on him filled with concern.
"Well, you sort of went rigid. We thought maybe you were having a fit or something." Ron was the first to explain to him what happened as Harry's blue eyes shifted to look at the three of us.
"And did either of you three…you know…pass out?" I slowly shook my head in response as Ron answered again.
"No, I felt weird though. Like I'd never be cheerful again…." He told us as Harry had something else bothering him and wanted to know the answer.
"But someone was screaming…A woman." His eyes fell to me and Hermione seeing we were the only females in the room but the problem was that neither one of us screamed for him.
"Harry, none of us was screaming." The words fell out of my mouth, wondering where he heard a woman screaming at him.
"Amelia's right, there was no woman screaming, Harry." Hermione added while we were worried about him as he looked at the window seeing the rain continuing to pour.
The next chapter is when the characters will arrive to Hogwarts :)
