Summary: The arrival of the Dementors
"Something had happened to the night. The star-strewn indigo sky was suddenly pitch-black and lightless - the stars, the moon, the misty streeptamps at either end of the alley had vanished. The distant grumble of cars and the whisper of the trees had gone. The balmy evening was suddenly piercingly, bitingly cod. They were surrounded by total, impenertrable, silent darkness, as though some giant hand had dropped a thick, icy mantle oer the entire alleyway, blinding them."
