The Döppelganger Witch

🌹Nine🌹

Cold , she felt so very cold and a sorrow so deep it felt like she would never be happy again pierced her heart  .

Someone screamed .She didn't know who . She wanted to help whoever it was ,yet couldn't move a single muscle.

It was also so dark that even if she wanted to ,she wouldn't be able to see .

Then she felt someone shaking her and her cheek burnt like someone had slapped her .

She could hear voices calling to her .

Voices that she knew .

" Hermiooone ," she slurred as she pushed open her very heavy eyelids .

Blurry faces obscured her vision so she blinked rapidly until the faces came into focus .

The faces looked pale in the lights of the lamps . All wore identical expressions of worry .

Strong arms helped her up and she was placed beside a very pale and sickly looking Harry ,eating chocolate of all things .

He too looked worried as he stared at her .

" Are you alright ?", he whispers .

How could she answer that when she felt so strange  .

" It's okay if you can't answer ,Ella , I can understand , you blacked out like me when the Dementor came , it was awful ".

Memories of what happened  floods her mind and she shivers involuntarily . She remembered the train stopping and the lights going out and then a tall hooded  sniffing thing came with rotten hands and then she blacked out .

" Dementor?", she asks ," aren't they supposed to be at Azkaban ?".

" Yes , but it seems they were searching the train for Black ", an adult voice speaks up from her other side .

She looks that way at a fairly young man who looked older than his years with wrinkles and grey hair dotting his thick  light brown hair.

His brown eyes stared into her own brown eyes . It felt like he was searching for something . What it was she didn't know .

A loud snap like something breaking echoes through the compartment and the next thing she knows he's handing her a large block of chocolate .

" Eat , you'll feel better ", he says,"I'm going to speak to the driver , I'll be back in a bit ".

Ella eats her chocolate while shifting closer to Harry who wraps and arm around her . She felt better already with the warmth of his arm and the chocolate combined.

" Are you two okay ?", Hermione asks watching them anxiously .

" Yeah," Harry says wiping his brow on his T-shirt with his free hand ,the other rested on Ella's stomach ," but I still don't get it . What really happened ?".

" Well, that thing just stood there sniffing the air and then you and Ella sort of ..sort of ...", Hermione begins  but she can't seem to find the words .

" Went into fits and you fell down twitching like mad and then and then ...", Ron goes on,but he too gets stuck .

" Then Professor Lupin stepped over you two and pulled out his wand and said something to the Dementor who didn't move and then he did something that chased the Dementor away , some sort of spell that shown silver ".

" It was horrible ", Neville Longbottom speaks up and Ella frowns because she hadn't even noticed that he'd been there ,then she remembers that he and Ginny had arrived right after the lights had gone out .
