'Quick! If we hurry, we can get inside!' Ron shouted, running towards the doors. The crack of lightning echoed the valleys. He pushed the doors open, it heaved with a long... SCREECH.
Harry, Ron and Hermione rushed in. Finding the castle empty, it was so quiet you can hear their footsteps echo through the castle. They were soaking wet, they travelled up many flights of stairs, feeling cold and frosty, 'yeah... I totally regret visiting Hagrid at midnight. But - we had no choice, did we? He said he had to leave for some - Gamekeeper business or something.' Harry said, as they reached the Fat Lady. 'Bottle Tops.' Hermione said, the Fat Lady's portrait opened. They entered the Common Room.The fire was on and it was warming their skins. 'Aww! We missed the feast! I was starving! I was really looking forward to some food, after like... a few hours or so.' Ron moaned, he sat in front of the fire, Harry looked around. 'Where is everyone?- Surely the teachers would've known we entered the castle - I'm surprised Snape hasn't caught us-I mean when we were, you know- in the castle, soaking wet.Leaving puddles around.' Harry exclaimed. 'Well,' Hermione began slowly, 'it is midnight after all and besides, tomorrow's a Sunday - Nobody will miss out on Sunday. Also tomorrow is a chance to visit Hogsmeade!'
Harry felt like he was agreeing but- something didn't feel right. He got up, grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill- starting to write. 'Harry? What are you doing?' Ron and Hermione said at once. 'Writing- to Sirius, or...' Harry stopped- but it'd usually take days for Sirius to reply. Who would he write to? Definitely not the Dursleys. Obviously they don't care about him. 'I'm tired,' Hermione said, yawning walking towards the Girl's dormitories. 'Check if Ginny's in there!-Won't you, Hermione?' Ron called after her, 'Ron- I will.' Hermione replied- walking off muttering. Ron sighed with a look that says I'm-so-worried-about-what-happened-to-everyone look. 'What happened to them, Harry?'

After laying down on his bed for a while. He finally drifted off to sleep. Not noticing, Seamus, Dean and Neville were missing from Hogwarts. He rolled around, moaning 'Voldemort...He will be rising once again.' Harry felt himself, falling, tears fell from the corner of his eyes. He woke up wide awake. He felt for his glasses he can't sleep. He stood up, looked out at the window. The night sky was filled with bolts of lightning 'I'm s-sorry Cedric. I couldn't save you...' He whispered, Ron yawned and rolled over in his maroon covers. 'Worrying, about that Cedric again- are you?- Should we go up to the higher floors?-You know to check for Fred and George.' A voice said, Harry turned, Ron was awake. 'Harry. That's in the past well... It was only like, two years ago,' Ron put his hand on his shoulder, 'Cedric's parents were grateful you um... Brought him back from the graveyard- besides many students die at Hogwarts like erm... Moaning Myrtle. Yeah...' A smile spread across Harry's face- then quickly died away. 'But they were both killed by Voldemort.' Ron flinched.
'I feel so guilty. He was dead. Because an evil wizard, who was after me, killed him- anyone that stands before him. When he touched me with his white, pale finger- pain was unbearable, I felt like a hole was drilled on my side.' 'Maybe, we should um stay here and-' 'Ron! You're sounding like Hermione!-' Harry felt an urge to jump out of the window for some reason and be free... Free from Voldemort, but even if he escaped something will eventually find him whether it's Voldemort or not.
Harry sighed as he slipped himself back to bed. 'Ron- what do you think, about... about- Voldemort?' Ron flinched as he lit a candle, the dim light showing his face. 'Well- Er- He's a doofus, he er killed your parents yeah, that's for sure but- he's very dumb. To split himself into seven souls... But he is smart to hide the er Horcrux thingies.' 'Well after tomorrow, back to Privet Drive for me. Yay.' Harry moaned.

Finally. Sunday, a chance to visit Hogsmeade or do something. It was very early in the morning as snow rested itself on the pavements of the castle grounds. As Harry wrapped his maroon and canary yellow scarf around his neck, he heard distressed voices downstairs... 'c'mon Hermione!No stress, we can find them later. Besides- The Ministry will find them.' 'RON! Nobody from the Ministry will believe that the entire Hogwarts is missing!- Apart from your dad- but we need to find them! The missing-' Harry stared at the two as he came down, 'HARRY!' Hermione and Ron echoed. 'Harry! Tell Hermione,(Ron shot a nasty glare at her for a few seconds) to relax! It's Sunday!' 'Harry tell Ron, that you're going to Privet Drive tomorrow, Ron's going to The Burrow while I go back to my parents! We need to find them today!' Hermione said urgently, looking at Harry to see if he'd back her up. His eyes went to Ron the Hermione, back and forth, watching them scream their heads off at each other. Harry stopped and rolled his eyes, anger was rising in him 'I'M NOT PUTTING UP WITH THIS!- I hate when you two fight! It gets annoying!- listen Hermione's right,' Harry sighed 'Ron, Hermione, we need to... Search the castle-' Hermione smiled giving a I-knew-It look at Ron.
