Draco, Pansy and Blaise stopped in their tracks in the Dungeons when hearing the blood-curdling scream. Who screamed and why?

"What was that?" Pansy asked in a terrified voice. She was seconds away from crying because anything that screamed bloody murder must be something terrible.

"A scream," said Blaise clearly, and Pansy glared at him for his feistiness. He smirked and crossed his arms, feeling a little proud but all he hoped was if Neville was okay. He has never heard Neville scream, but the thought was oddly nice, if he had him in bed with him.

"We know that, you idiot!" spat Pansy at once, and when Draco continued to walk ahead, they follow him. She was stopping herself from hitting him on the arm from how he was reacting. "What I mean is who's is it?"

"How would I know?" Blaise asks and shrugged at her, then turned to Draco, who had worry expressed all over his face. He doesn't know what it is like to have a boyfriend, but he wants one. He wants Neville and a couple of his friends know that already. He adores Draco and Harry's relationship, because they're just so cute together. He's caught Draco feeding Harry strawberries, and booping him on the nose. It's just adorable.

"Forget it," said Pansy, looking down at the floor blankly when walking through the Dungeon. "But what did that woman mean?" She furrowed her eyebrows. "That any and all crime including murder is legal for...hours?"

"Guys..." Draco's lip trembled when staring ahead. Something large was lying on the floor with Slytherin robes. He felt curious but also a little scared. "Does something seem...off to you?"

"How so?" asked Pansy, who ignored Blaise completely. She'll deal with him later. All she cares about is finding out what's going on at Hogwarts and where this lady is. She wants to question this lady about what she means.

"Do you feel that vibe when you know something or someone's watching you?" asked Draco, who continued to scan the corridors. His horror at what danger Harry could be in increased, and now he just wanted to find him already. He wanted to find Harry, hug and kiss him, give love to him. All he wants is Harry now. "And do you see that..." He swallowed hard. "Body over there...?"

Pansy shuddered as a wave of coldness hit her. She swears the weather isn't supposed to get windy during this night. "Body?" She looked to where Draco was staring at and frowned in horror. It couldn't be... "What do-"

Suddenly, Blaise screamed and was pointing down a corridor to their right at a small doll riding a tricycle towards him. The doll had spirals for eyes, was laughing hysterically in a creepy voice, and was wearing a suit. "THE SODDING HELL IS THAT!"

Pansy and Draco looked at what Blaise had spotted. Is this what the lady meant by 'Purge'? Creepy doll-like things? Either way, it was horrifying! They wanted nothing to do with weird and creepy dolls. They wanted to get away, back into the Slytherin dungeons where it was nice, warm, and safe.

The doll began to near them. Then, in a chilly, cold voice, it said, "Do you want to play a game?"

Behind the doll, coming around a corner, was a tall figure wearing black clothes, wielding a large knife, and wearing what looked like a pig face. What a creepy thing it was!

Draco swallowed and his mouth fell open; this was the most horrifying thing he's ever seen in his life. "W-Who are you." He doesn't know if that was a stupid thing to do, asking who that person is.

The pigman (Kurt) tilted his head to the side a little, still staring at the three. He didn't speak, though. It'd just give away who he was. He raised his knife up at the teenagers and under his mask, he smirked.

But then Rebecca, a Gryffindor muggle-born third-year student, watching Harry's Slytherin boyfriend from the side of a corridor, came into view but ran away from Kurt. Time for some acting. She screamed. "HELP ME!"

The pigman looked her way and quickly ran after her. The Jigsaw doll just continued to cycle up to Draco, Pansy, and Blaise.

"HELP!"

The pigman grabbed her and turned to face the three Slytherin's who had clear as day fear on their faces. He smirked from underneath his mask. He held Rebecca by the stomach, raised his knife and slit Rebecca's throat.

Rebecca gagged as her throat was slit with blood gushing out of her neck. Obviously, she was acting this out but making it seem as real as she could. She fell to the floor, clutching her throat.

Pansy screamed at the sight of her fellow student and ducked behind Blaise. She didn't know how to react to these kinds of situations. Never in her life did she ever think that her death would be murder.

Blaise was practically close to hyperventilating, his eyes wide and staring ahead at the horrifying scene. He clutched at his own throat, wondering how long that ... dude was watching them for and when he could have come out of the dark and did that to himself.

Draco was backing away, grabbing Blaise and Pansy by the arm, and slowly walking backwards with them. "Guys... I think it's best to-"

The pigman scraped his bloody knife on the stone wall of the corridor as he walked towards the three Slytherin's.

"RUN!" Draco yelled. He hoped Harry was okay, someplace safe, and alone. He wished that he could have spent the entire day with Harry. They could be up in the Slytherin boy's dormitory, naked, in his bed, and having the time of their lives instead of running away from psychos.

Pansy and Blaise began running away from the pigman but looked behind them every minute. The worse thing was the pigman was following them. But that's not all, there were bodies of their fellow Slytherin's everywhere! Younger Slytherin's, older, a couple of Gryffindor's too. The sodding hell was happening at Hogwarts on Halloween.

-

"The bloody hell was that!" asked Ron in a shaky but loud tone when hearing that loud scream. He, Neville, and Seamus were still up in the dormitory. They just weren't planning on going anywhere. It seems that being up in the dormitory was much safer now than anywhere else. The bloody hell he would be going anywhere when someone screamed that loud like they were being chased.

"I don't know," said Seamus, shaking his head slowly in disbelief at what they heard. A scream? In Hogwarts? That hasn't happened in so long. Not since their second year. "Where's Dean...?" he then asked. He began to worry about his boyfriend's life.

"And Harry," Ron added, looking blankly at his best mates' empty bed. He hoped his best mate was all right. He hasn't seen him in a couple of hours. "Should we go find them?"

"They could just be down in the common room," said Neville simply, staring down at his hands which linked together. He ran his hands through his hair slowly, his elbows positioned on his knees and he sighed.

There was another scream, but it sounded closer to them. It was a woman's scream. It actually sounded like it was coming from downstairs. That was the worst part, hearing screams from only meters away.

"I'm going to go find him," said Ron, gulping from the scream which sounds so familiar to him. But he hesitated, hoping his little sister was okay. If anything happened to her he wouldn't forgive himself. "Just in case..."

Seamus stood up, holding his wand in front of him and flipping it up in the air. He caught it with his other hand and threw it up in the air again. "I'll come too." He caught his wand in his casting hand and gripped it tight. "I need to make sure Dean's okay."

"Neville?" Ron said softly but urgently. He needed to find Harry, and Hermione. Especially, Hermione, his girlfriend. He had to make sure she was okay. "Are you coming with us or not?"

Neville looked up at them, fear in his eyes but nodded. "I'll come with you."

They all hesitantly went downstairs but paused when finding Parvati Patil and a couple of younger girls, including Ginny, frozen to the spot in their pyjamas in the common room. It appears that they were all staring at something, but what?

"Gin, what's the matter?" Ron froze at the sight of a woman dressed in all black, the hood of her robe white and she wore a cross around her neck. She was just standing in the shadows of a corner of the room, her deathly pale face almost as white as a sheet and closed eyes which had black circles around them.

"S-She's j-just standing there," Ginny whispered with a few stutters. She clearly was frightened of this woman, as the woman in the corner really did look horrifying. "H-Has been for a few minutes."

"What is she?" Seamus asked them but was a little too loud because the woman opened her eyes, which were white just like her face and glared at him. Seamus took a step back, Goosebumps appearing on his arm which he rubbed at them.

"I am Nun," said a cold dead monotoned voice which came from in front of everybody. It was the Nun who spoke. But that's all she said. Then she raised her hand, her palm facing her best friend, Cecelia Seagreene, a muggle-born just like her. Like in the Nun movies, the target, Cecelia rose from the ground until she couldn't touch the ground.

All the girls surrounding Cecelia shrieked and moved away from her, not knowing what's happening. Seamus, Neville, and Ron stood in front of the girls. They weren't the only boys in the common room, as a few of them were all hiding behind the couches and staring at the nun, and the others were in front of the girls with Ron, Seamus, and Neville. But Neville was slowly backing away, joining the girls.

Seamus tried helping Cecelia, but the Nun threw Seamus across the room without even touching him. She made him land in a chair, just so she doesn't actually hurt him. She didn't want to hurt anybody, but she will just to make everything look real.

The Nun pulled Cecelia towards her, and Cecelia screamed for someone to help her, but nobody did. When the Nun had Cecelia in her arms, she flared her teeth at everyone in the room and dug her teeth into Cecelia's shoulder blades.

Blood ran down Cecelia's neck slowly as the nun kept eating at her neck. Cecelia rolled her eyes to the back of her head, moaning in pain as her blood dripped down to her feet.

Ginny, Parvati, the younger girls, and a few younger boys, and Neville screamed at the sight of one of their own dying right in front of themselves and backed away as far as they could go.

The Nun gave a terrifying smile with bloody teeth and mouth, still kept hold of Cecelia, and walked backwards into the shadows and right through the wall which was charmed to just look like a wall.

Seamus and Neville's faces were pale, and they nearly threw up as Cecelia's blood still remained on the floor. Never in their life would they ever think this would happen to one of their Gryffindor students. Nobody in the room ever thought the impossible, but it just came true.

"We need to get the professors!" hollered Ron, who's eyes still remained staring at the blood puddle on the floor. If that were Ginny that the Nun took, he wouldn't ever forgive himself. Or even Hermione, wherever she was.

"I've tried," said Ginny, her voice breaking in fear when she turned her head to look at her brother. She didn't want to look away in case the Nun came back and crept up at her from behind, but she had to be brave. "But she wasn't anywhere in her office and we tried knocking on her portrait but there was no response."

"Oh," said Ron in a quiet voice. He only started to panic even more at the thought of Hermione being kidnapped. "Have you seen Hermione then?"

Ginny shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She wished she could have saved that younger girl. If only Hermione was here to help her, or Luna, then she would be able to help her and give her the strength to try and save her fellow Gryffindor's.

"She wasn't in her dorm when I woke up," said Parvati, tears streaming down her face and her eyes not leaving the space where the Nun disappeared to. "She was earlier, though. She just read, even when I fell asleep." She then glanced at the boys and around them, not seeing the two other sixth year boys. "But where's Harry and Dean if they're not with you?"

"We haven't a clue," responded Seamus with a shaky shrug. "They just...vanished."

Neville regained his Gryffindor bravery from who knows where and looked at everyone. "We should go search for them and find the professors. They will know what to do and how to get the students back."

Everyone nodded in agreement, even if it was hard to move their necks to the side as they felt stiff from shock. They all mainly were staring at the blood on the floor from Cecelia which still sent shivers down their spines at what the thing did to her.
