A Hogwarts Adventure Book 2: River of the Spirit
Chapter 1: Boggarts on a Train!
"This is it," Sydney smiled as she sat with her friends on the Hogwarts Express. "Our second year! Think our DADA teacher will be better this year?"
Sakura shrugged, "If they're anything like him, I'll set off a hoard of Kuribohs on them."
"Why Kuribohs?" Kura asked.
Sakura shrugged, "Killed them by cuteness. I'm taking a page out of your book."
Kura pouted.
Mason chuckled.
He felt out of place as the only guy in the compartment, but then again...
"Hey," he said, "Sakura..."
Sakura looked up at him. "What?"
"Are you ever-"
He stopped his question, when he noticed Sydney shivering.
"Here," he put his coat over her shoulders, blushing slightly as he did, "anyone else feel cold."
The others nodded.
"I think we stopped..." Estrella whispered. She and Tsu weren't shivering as much, being used to the cold, but something was off.
"Is Jack pranking us?!" Madison hissed as frost began to cover the window.
The others shrugged.
"But why stop the train for a prank?" Kura asked.
There was a shrug of silence before-
WHAM!
the door slid open.
Rapunzel looked at them, panting, "Something's wrong...Jack and Merida passed out...AGAIN!"
This caught the others attention. Rapunzel was pulled in.
The poor girl was shivering.
"Merida kept saying something about a bear, and Jack kept saying something about drowning..." she muttered.
Kura then let out a shriek.
The others turned towards her and saw her pointing at the door.
The others screamed as well as what looked like your typical Grim Reaper without a scythe appeared.*
Kura let out a whimper as it got closer.
"Kura?" Sakura looked at her twin in concern.
"Don't leave me alone...please...don't leave me alone..."
"KURA?!"
The Grim Reaper like creature crept closer.
The compartment felt like it was freezing.
Rapunzel flinched as it went closer to her, seeing as to how she was the closest, only to have it shriek as a silvery blue...wolf? appeared.
It flew off and the room lost its chill.
Mason had Madison and Sydney wrapped around his arms.
Estrella was hiding her face in Tsu's shoulder.
And Kura was crying to Sakura's chest, muttering under her breath, as Sakura stroked the top of her hair.
A man walked in.
While he looked...well...not in the best shape, but as if he just got the best job in the world and found his best suit for it.
Yeah...that works.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
Tsu nodded, "We will be...what was that?"
"A dementor. They make you relive your worst memories...before they take your soul with a kiss."
"So..." Estrella said, "kinda like a reverse fairy tale? Ya know, you kiss the princess and she wakes up. They kiss you and they take your soul..."
The man chuckled, "An...interesting way to put it, but yes. Something like that. Here. Chocolate helps."
He handed over a bar of chocolate.
Sakura took it and cut off a piece.
She handed it over to Rapunzel, who took a piece and handed the rest to Mason.
Mason took it and split into three parts. He handed one to Sydney and one to Madison.
"Thanks...uh..." Rapunzel blushed, not knowing the strange man's name.
He smiled gently, "Remus Lupin. Glad to help."
With that, he left.
Kura clutched Sakura's shirt, their eyes pulsing with the package that Sakura had gotten last year.
The others frowned at it.
As soon as they reached Hogwarts, they would find out what it was.
Review!
*I can't be the only one who sees Dementors like this...can I?
