{Dementors on the train}

The train journey to hogwarts started like any other, Fred, George, Lee and Anertha sat together chattering away about the year to come. 'I can not wait for Hogsmeade again, apparently Zonkos has some new stock.' George beamed to them all. Fred smirked in agreement. Anertha found herself nodding off into a book until Fred tapped her leg. 'What?' She looked at him tiredly. He just smiled at her and returned to the game of exploding snap the boys had started playing. The train began to come to a close. Fred looked up from his cards and frowned. 'We can't be there yet.' He stated. Anertha checked her watch. Nope they shouldn't have been slowing yet. 'Maybe there is an issue with the train?' George wondered. Fred shook his head. 'There has never been issues with the train in the past.' The four of them sat in silence as darkness swallowed the train and a crisp coldness began to form. The windows began to frost over. Fred took hold of Anertha's hand in the black train, squeezing it tight. All that could be heard was ragged breathing from all. Out of the silence came a squeal as Draco Malloy came bustling into their compartment, pale and scared. 'Have you seen the things out there?' He stammered in fear. Fred's insides began to feel cold and he felt his mood running low and all happiness disappearing. A skeletal being in a black cloak floated past their compartment and further down the train. After it had passed, the coldness of Fred's body began to recede and he held on tighter to Anertha's hand, that was not a feeling he wanted to feel again. Eventually the coldness went and the darkness lightened again. Draco straightened himself and smirked at them. 'Scared were you? Surely you Weasleys have faced worse in that wreck of a house?' He didn't stay to hear the answer, he swept from the compartment hastily. George frowned after him. 'The slimy little-' 'George, he's not worth our breath.' Fred said quietly. Anertha sat up straight and smirked. 'Did you see his face though? Think he wanted his mummy.' The twins and Lee laughed with her.
