"Tom?" Petunia called out, looking around her at the empty hallways. A muffled shout sounded behind her, sending Petunia twisting around. Petunia hurriedly ran around the corner to where she thought she heard the shouting come from.

"Hello?" She called out, walking slowly down the echoing hallway. As she rounded another corner she came upon a horrific sight. A boy with wide eyes staring at her, seeming to be completely frozen.

"Hello?" She tried to say, but barely a whisper escaped her lips. "Are, are you okay?" She started to creep closer to the figure when an older boy came whipping around the corner, a tall lad with wild curly hair and tight-fitting robes.

Petunia followed his eyes and had to clap her hands across her face to keep her from screaming as her eyes scanned the words scrawled in blood against the wall.
