The Darkest Hour

The Sounds

* Alexandra's POV*

It was still raining when I finished my homework. The days had been long and boring. I was starting to get antsy.

" UGH!" I said finally slamming my book shut.

" What's up with you?" Emily asked trying to hold in a giggle.

" Oh go ahead laugh if you must." I mumbled while making a pencil race around the table at where I was sitting at.

" No, I won't. Tell me what's up." Emily said getting up and moving so that she's next to me.

" Remember that thing we saw the other day? I've been wondering and trying to think of what that was but it's bothering me so much." I said while tapping my fingers on my book.

" Yeah. That seemed a bit strange. I wonder if the creature is related to You-Know-who." Emily said in a spooky voice. I rolled my eyes.

What was with her? Honestly, I'm losing my mind.

Then it finally hit me.....

" WAIT!" I said while getting up quickly. " Remember when we got onto the train? When I peeked out the window..... I didn't tell you this but I saw a cloak gliding with the train. Maybe that's what it was."

" Now that you mention it......." Emily said slowly.

" Should we tell Dumbledore?"

" I'm not so su-" Emily began but got interrupted as a boy came running into the common room.

" A student has been taken! Here!" He said shoving a piece of paper into my hand. I looked down and saw a name written down this name said: Lorcan.

" Where did you get this?" I asked quickly. The name sounded oddly familiar. But how? I couldn't know him I mean I'm not sure.

" An older student said to give it to you because you know this student. But I have to go now. Bye!" He said dashing out of the common room before I could say anything.

" But I don't know this guy! Ugh." I said folding the paper neatly and placing it into the pocket of my robes.

" It's okay mate. We'll figure it out." Emily said gently.

How did I know this guy?
