Bellatrix wouldn’t be able to hold this
  position for very long. Even if it had
  been as secure as she would have
  liked (and a doorway at the end of an
  empty hallway was hardly what she
  would consider secure), the scattering
  of corpses around her would bring the
  monsters crawling towards her within
  minutes.
  She had to keep going.
    She had to rest.
  She had been lucky that she had been
  in the restroom when everything had
  begun, lucky that the construction
  project on the girls’ toilets meant that
  there were stray pieces of pipe left
lying about. Lucky that, when the
  monsters had begun to make their
  shuffling way towards her, she had
  been able to fend them up.
  She was lucky to be alive. Alive, and,
  but for the gash running up her left
  arm, reasonably well.
  She could take a moment to rest. Just
  so long as she ––––
    –––– footsteps.
  She raised the length of pipe slightly,
  trying to hold it steady despite her
throbbing arm.
    “Who’s there?”

  Her words echoed through the hallway,
  voice steady despite her pounding
  heart.
    “Show yourself.”

It had been supposed to be a quick escape.

Why he would have considered himself capable
of being so lucky was anybody’s guess, most of
it his own. Nobody could be lucky when the
floors he was walking were stained with blood,
and vomit, when he had seen more dead bodies
in one day than his entire life, when he was
holding a rusty trash picked he had taken from
the injured janitor, when his own body was
splattered with stranger’s blood from the bottom
to the top.

There was an emergency exit somewhere
near, he just knew it, he had to know.

The sound of their inhumane groans, the image
of arms and teeth sinking into fresh, red flesh
was still bright and vivid, in the forefront of his
mind. Yet, he lost none of his composure, or so
it seemed.

He was like a ghost outside of himself, outside
of his own body, his perception completely
disconnected from the pounding of his heart, the
rush of adrenaline flooding his brain, his aching
muscles, tensing with every step.

His mind, yet, was calmly, clinically observing
his surroundings, trying to think of a way to reach
the nearest exit, without bringing more attention
to himself.

If only he could—

A voice interrupted his plans, and violently jerked
his mind back to reality again. Barty recognized it
immediately as belonging to his math teacher,
Mrs. Lestrange. The only thing more stupid than
to think of her presence as a relief, would have
been to stay silent.

He could feel his hands shaking as he
tightened his grip around the janitors stick.

“Keep your voice down”, he whispered, as he took
a step forward, and into her line of sight, ”I’m right
here”
