3rd Person POV

The affect on the group of eighth years was instantaneous. Harry jumped up and ran toward the door, Ron, Hermione, and Neville on his heels. Draco and Blaise ran after them in an attempt to stop them from doing something that would get them killed and Pansy followed Draco and Blaise.

The only person who didn't move was Joshua King.

Joshua's POV

That scream... it was so familiar. As though I had heard it before...

I stayed rooted to my spot while all the other people in the Room Of Requirement jumped to their feet and ran towards the door. I couldn't place where I'd heard the scream before. I knew it was important. I knew that I needed to find out. But I just couldn't remember.

"Joshua, come on!" Ernie Macmillan said, yanking on my arm. The memory of our kiss made my ears turn slightly red. I didn't have feeling for Ernie though. Not like I did Harry.

"That scream..." I started. "It sounds familiar..."

Ernie looked at me the way someone might look at a person who just said the earth was flat.

"What are you talking about?" Ernie said.

"Huh?"

"What scream?" Ernie clarified.

I stared at him. Then it hit me. Of course he hadn't been able to hear it. I knew why it was familiar. It was supposed to be a myth, but I knew it was true.

The Nightmare's Calling.

Don't ask, it was the best I could come up with. Next chapter you'll find out what it is.

Anyway, hope you liked this chapter and I'll see you when I update again, fellow Drarry shippers!
