Ferry Voracious (P.O.V)

Ring, Ring, Ring...

Ring, Ring, Ring...

Ring, Ring, Ring...

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the time. It was 12:00 am. I groaned. I had slept for two hours only to be woken up by a damn phone. I pulled off the blanked irritably. I got out of my warm bed and put on my now cold slippers. I then walked towards the phone in front of me, sleepily. I picked it up.

"Hello?"

No answer came. The ringing seemed to be coming from a distant place. Only then I realised that the ring was from the phone downstairs. I moaned. Steadily, I opened my bedroom's door and walked down the stairs. I advanced towards the kitchen and found the phone in my hand. I pulled it towards my ear and called out:

"Yes. Who is it?"

No answer came.

"Hello!", I said again.

Still, no answer.

I cut off the line with utter disgust. I took my feet towards the stairs when the phone started to ring again. For the second time I picked up the phone and waited for soneone to speak.

"Tick Tock, Tick Tock. Your time's running out.", a chilly voice spoke.

"What?", I said in a confused voice.

"Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Your time's running out."

"Oh shut the hell up!", I shouted and dropped the phone as if it were a poisonous snake. I thought it was just a prank call. I walked towards my bedroom. As I was about to get into bed again, the phone started to ring again. I screamed in anguish and rushed towards the phone.

"What do you want!", I thundered.

"Hey it's just me, David", he called out.

"Oh Dave", said I, "I thought it was that pranking phonecall again."

"What call?", Davie asked.

"Oh it was nothing. Just some creepy guy saying in a chilled voice;"Tick Tock your time's running out", I mean what the hell. Couldn't they find the right time to prank."

"Hello! Dave?"

It seemed as if Dave had left the phone right there and ran. I thought something was really up. Seeing these circumstances I made safety precautions. I ran around the house and bolted all the doors and windows, pulled down the curtains. I picked up the knives and turned off all the lights. Then, I waited for something to happen. It was now 12:30 am.

"Ding Dong. Ding Dong"

The doorbell rang.I stayed quiet.

"Open up! It's Dave."

I walked towards the door and peeked through the peephole. I recognized him so I opened the door. He rushed in and bolted the door. Then he hugged me being careful with the knives in my hands.

"Thank God! You're okay", he said relaxing, "Seems like you understood my leaving the phone in such a hurry. It's a wonder my sis went the same way as me."

He smiled.

"Tell me what's the rush about.", I asked.

"Well... You're in grave danger."

I snorted. I thought he was joking but judging by the look on his face I understood that something was really up.

"Tell me how", I said.

"There's this guy who keeps calling around everywhere he wants to. First we thought it was a joke but it's not"

He went all quiet then.

"What else?", I asked.

He hesitated and then said,

"Every person he calls dies within twenty four hours in some way or the other and no one can guess the cause of their death. You mustn't go alone anywhere. Call someone to be with you all the time. Someone whom we both trust."

I thought for a while and then said,

"Draco"

"Who?", Dave asked.

"Draco Malfoy"

"That wizardry bloke?", he asked.

"That's him", I said.

"Ok! Call him now", he said.

I went upstairs to get my cell phone from my side table. I picked it up and as I was about to go downstairs, the window opened with a jerk and cold air started to surround me. I shivered. All of a sudden, a shadowy figure started to float towards the window. I went forward to see what it really was. The moment I got closer my blood ran cold and I started to whiten with fear. It seemed as if all the happiness had been drained out from me. That thing was a bloody dementor! Draco once told me that in the world of magical people, their prison; 'Azkaban' was gaurded by cloaked figures who could suck the soul out of a person until they are empty like a shell. These creatures can only be seen by wizards and witches. Then WHY THE HELL WAS I ABLE TO SEE THEM!! I started to back up a little bit. I tripped and fell off my feet. I dialed Draco's number on the phone amd sent him a call. As he picked it up, I said;

"Help..."

"Ferry. Are you okay?", he asked me.

The dementor was drawing closer and closer.

"Dementor", I whispered in a scared voice.

"What? Bloody Hell! Hold on I'm coming", he called out.

The dementor lowered its hood and I saw the white skull it had as it started to snatch something out of my mouth. It was sucking my soul and I was helpless. Draco emerged from the fireplace in my room and shouted,

"EXPECTO PETRONUM!!"

A dragon emerged from Draco's wand that drove the dementor away. I collapsed on the floor and all turned black...
