Chapter two
The world was blurring around Jack as he fell onto the hard ground, the rain hit him as he looked up to see the sky, darker than it was at his home, he pulled himself up, then took his trunk and began to walk through the station. When he arrived at the barrier, he casually leaned through and stumbled to the other side. The other students were filing into the Hogwarts Express, something bothered Jack about the darkness, the cold air, something about it was familiar, yet he couldn't remember what it was. Jack clambered into the train, as he was walking down the aisle "Jack! Over here." Someone yelled at him, it was Harry, Jack quickly walked into the compartment that Harry was in and sat down. "Oh...uh...H-Hello Hermione." Jack said as he noticed Hermione sitting across from him, his ears turned red. "Where's Ron, Harry?" Jack asked "Oh he went to get some sweets." Harry replied. The train began to slowly move through the dark air, the rain continued to hang over train as they went further, the lights kept flickering briefly, Jack figured it was just the weather. Hours later, Jack sat down his drink on the window sill "So, I wonder who will be the Quidditch captain this year, I bet it will be you Harry." Jack said "I don't know, we will need a lot of replacements this year-" Harry was cut short by the lights going completely off, Jack had a feeling this was much more permanent, the comforting sound of the engine left. Several first years were screaming in fear, the prefects ran into the aisles, Jack joined them, he was selected as Head Boy over the summer. "Any idea of what the cause of this is?" A Ravenclaw prefect whispered "You don't think that they brought the coldness here-"But the boy was interrupted by Jack "No, dementors are being contained by Aurors right now, nor could a storm do this much damage to the power. Lumos!" A light emitted out of his wand revealing his face "Lets split up and check on the other students" He said, they all nodded in agreement. Jack was checking all of the compartments thoroughly when he heard a scream from the one across the aisle, he quickly ran to it, a small second year girl was peering out the window with a horrified looking expression "What is it?" Jack asked but then he saw what she was looking at, at least two dozen cloaked figures were peering through the windows, that all wore white masks that looked much like opera style masks, they were all circled around a stout little man, apparently the conductor went to check out the problem, and they were all laughing while muttering spells at him, they were torturing him. Jack wasn't going to let it happen, he ran out into the aisle, then dashed to the door and jumped out of the train, the students watched, some gasping, others speechless. Jack pointed his wand at one of them and shouted "Stupefy!" the red jet of light hit one of the figures and knocked him onto the ground. They all turned towards him with their wands raised.
