Cold Touch
This is chapter one. Enjoy It. If you don't the boogeyman will catch you then he will cut off your arms and gently suck the blood pouring from your gaping wounds until you pass out from pain, then he will splash you with cold water and begin digging into your wounds until he tears out your bloody heart and finishes it with one great bite.
(Feel free to review or else I'll make an even more disgusting threat)
Chapter One
His hands felt heavy and he was out of breath as he trudged through the heavy snow. The snow was falling steadily and the man's vision was growing weak; slowly he lost his touch and fell to the ground. He quietly whimpered and his mouth grew dry as the snow continued to pile up, within a few minutes there was no sign he had ever been here.
The Hogwarts Express sped down the tracks, but not fast enough for the passengers inside. Their parents waited at the station and for three weeks they could avoid the terrifying essays and horrible exams. Then much to their dismay the train stopped quite suddenly in the middle of a field with a herd of cows looking at them quite strangely.
Our two heroes and there friend, who we will simply be calling the heroine for the moment, looked out the window and opened the compartment door trying to find out what was going on.
"Do you think it's You-Know-Who?" Ron said fearfully
Suddenly a deep voice sounded out as if from no where.
"We have received word from the Department of Magical Diseases and Epidemics that the train station has been declared contaminated and until further notice is closed. We are being rerouted to another station where your families can pick you up."
Everyone immediately broke into chatter arguing over what was happening at the station.
"You don't think it's an out break of Rouant Fever do you?" Ron questioned
"No, DMDE eradicated Rouant fever in 1984, don't you read Ron?" said Hermione.
"I read," he replied defensively
"Comic books and signs don't count,"
Ron sat back in his chair, obviously defeated.
After another 15 minutes of waiting the train slowly moved forward again and the passengers sounded out a cheer. In an hour the train slowly pulled into Bridge Town Station. As they gathered their belongings Hermione gave Ron a hug and handed him a small wrapped box.
"Hermione, you didn't have to get me anything,"
"Your welcome," she said with smiling.
He opened the box and pulled out a picture of the entire Chudley Cannon's team. As he looked it over he said "How did you...? Wow... I mean, umm... this is...?" On the picture were the autographs of everyone.
"I wrote to them and asked, and they sent me this back."
He smiled and kissed her on the cheek as they walked off the train. Mrs. Weasley rushed to them and gave them each a bone crushing hug, commenting that Harry was losing weight and should really eat more in the process.
"Harry, you know you were welcome to stay with us again," she said cheerfully.
"I know that and I appreciate the offer."
Ron and the entire redheaded flock, that some call the Weasley family, left the station. Hermione's parents came over to them and her mother hugged Hermione briefly before smiling at Harry. Mrs. Granger had short brown hair and was tall and Mr. Granger had graying hair and was slightly on the plump slide.
"You must be Harry" he said and held out his hand. Harry shook his hand in return.
Mrs. Granger turned to him and said, "It's simply wonderful that your staying with us because little Hermit has never once brought any of her school friends home!"
Harry snickered at the nickname and made a mental note to tell Ron.
As they gathered their luggage, they noticed a group of men wearing white robes were waiting at the exit and examining people leaving the station, and every once so often held their wands to them. As Harry reached the front he saw a tag on the front of the man's robes that read "DMDE."
The man ran his hand across Harry's face and looked closely into his eyes before okaying him to go through. As he passed he turned and he heard one man yell out, "we've got one" with fear as two armed men rushed to him and grabbed the man he was checking, and despite the man's protest, drug him off. His wife was screaming for them to tell her what was wrong with her husband, until they looked her over and slowly along the line each DMDE worker yelled out.
Suddenly about fifteen men burst into the station and yelled, "Everyone that has already passed please leave the train station now!"
The Granger family rushed out of the station to the sounds of people screaming and when they reached the outside, Mr. Granger turned and said fearfully to Hermione "Sweety... what was that about?"
"I don't know..." she said darkly.
Reviewing is Fun! Repeat after me!
R-E-V-I-E-W-I-N-G- I-S F-U-N!
Farewell!
