The Test Of Friendship
Chapter 8-
Don't Scream

Hermione and Ron just stood there, mouths open, staring at what just appeared in front of them. Harry and Ginny rushed downstairs and stood paralyzed, staring as well. Standing in front of them was the biggest disaster they had ever seen. Something had forced them to walk outside. The sky was black, no stars, no moon. This would have been normal, if it wasn't 8:00 a.m. The trees were dead and branches fell every minute, this might have been normal too, if it wasn't the middle of summer. The grass wasn't green, but it was a dark brownish color, the flowers were no longer standing, and the streets were deserted. All around, the world looked abandoned. Just this morning there was a bright blue sky with puffy clouds, a shining sun, a rainbow assortment of flowers, trees were filled with healthy leaves, grass was green, and everything. Something weird was going on, it's just none of them knew what it was. "What happened?" Hermione asked, breaking the silence. "I have no idea." Harry replied. Harry clutched his scar tightly and twisted in agony. "Harry!" Hermione rushed over, Ron and Ginny followed. "It's hurting?" Ron asked, nervously. "Yes! But I-" Harry fainted before he could say anymore. Ron, Ginny, and Hermione managed to carry him and place him on the couch. They sat on the opposite couch and waited. "What is happening?" Ginny asked, shivering. It was freezing in the house. "I don't know, but it's awfully c-cold in h-he-her." Ron said, shivering. He went into the kitchen and came out with four cups of trusty butterbeer. Everyone gulped it down, except Harry, who hadn't woken up yet. When all three finished their fourth butterbeer, Harry's eyes opened. He sat up. "Harry!" Hermione cried and ran over to him. Ron and Ginny did the same. "W-what happened?" Harry asked. "You fainted." Ron said. Harry suddenly remembered the days events. "Oh, right! Wait was that a dream, the skies and the-" Harry stopped and looked at the three heads nodding no. "It wasn't a dream, Harry." Ginny said softly. "You were going to tell us something before you fainted, do you remember?" Hermione asked. Ron rolled his eyes at her. "How is he supposed to rem-" Ron was cut off by Harry. "I remember. My scar was hurting, but not like usual. It was different. It was sort of like a stinging, like an alarm. To warn me of something." Harry said. Everyone was silent. The cold came back, even stronger now. "This is like a horror movie." Ginny said before she fainted. "Ginny!" Ron said. Before he could go to her he saw it, a dementor was standing right in front of him. Hermione opened her mouth to scream, Ron put his hand over it. "Don't scream." Ron whispered. "Don't scream."
