Occasionally, as it rounded the corners that led it away from the sixth floor and further into the alternate Hogwarts, it would glance down at its prey. The fact that they were screaming incited it, causing saliva to fall from its mouth and perhaps even rain on the human's faces.
The creature continued to drag them through its own castle, deeper and deeper, where it had taken the older human many months ago. Its tongue licked its lips. The feast would be starting soon...
