Ch. 13 A Night In the Dark
The next night, at exactly midnight, they all made their way down to the corridor in the dungeons to wait for the attacker. When the Gryffindors got there, there was no sign of Kiara or Patrick.
When they had waited till 12:20, Bethany said, "They're not coming. There's going to be nobody but us." But just as she said that, they tip toed into the room.
"Sorry we're late!" said Patrick. "Peeves was throwing dung bombs up outside the entrance hall."
"Oh," said Harry, "Kiara, go stand in that corner over there. We're going to hide behind these statues. Don't worry we won't leave you."
"How can you tell me not to worry! I'm going to be bait for an attacker!" she shouted but they shushed her and she went over and stood in the corner.
Around 1:30, half of them were asleep when they heard a scream from the other side of the room. The ones that were asleep woke up immediately and the ones that were awake look out from behind the side of the statue.
There was a dark hooded figure looming next to where Kiara was huddled in the corner. It pulled it's wand out and Bethany made to yell "NOOOO!" but Ruby covered her mouth and Harry pulled her back.
"I never wanted anyone to get hurt! I just wanted to catch the attacker. But we can't do it while he has his wand out!" Bethany whispered to them.
They looked back out at the figure and Kiara. The figure still had it's wand out, but instead of hurting Kiara, he whispered something and she flew into the air. The figure said something else and a hole in the wall appeared and the figure glided in, still holding Kiara up in the air with his wand and they disappeared into the hole.
"Oh lord." said Bethany. "Er... I wasn't exactly expecting this guys." she said slowly.
The hole was just starting to close up when she yelled, "We have to save her!" and she and the others sprinted right into the hole in the wall.
