Evil Within The Walls
The stone walls of the old and battered corridors were pleasantly peaceful at this hour of night. One thing I always did notice though was this constant feeling of being watched, I swear I once found myself staring into the eyes of a predator from the corner of my vision. It felt as though someone or something was lurking in the shadows, stalking it's prey. I caught flashes of blood-red orbs in the peripheries of my vision and could sense them watching my every move, ready to pounce at the proper moment.
"I'm Hermione Granger!" I tell myself when ever I get scared or think I can't do anything. I may be brave but nothing stops the nightmares of my torture by that "bitch!" she was bloody insane, her evil cackles still ring in my ears.
She's the reason I've found myself wandering these corridors at night, this is my third night back and already I feel damaged and out of place.
A loud bang rang through the corridor causing me to become petrified, I turned behind me slightly and tried to locate the source, my vision settled upon one of the rotting classroom doors which was moving slowly in and out. I turned to fully face the door and watched terrified as the door started to swing back and forwards quickly.
I walked quickly trying to keep my feet moving, shadows forming around me as I passed the moonlit windows of the old castle. Heavy foot steps sounded dangerously close behind me, I didn't dare to look inside I was shaking with fear. A sudden blood- curdling scream shattered my last remaining confidence, I dragged myself to follow, till I found my feet on the edge of the stairway.
"It's a trap!" The thought suddenly hit me as I stood perfectly still on the edge as if tempting fate. I looked across from me, my mind focussing on a paralyzing feeling of uneasiness, the stairs were pitch-black, I began to tremble with sickening thoughts of being pulled into the depths of darkness.
I finally gave myself enough courage to turn back to the head dorm, but before I could run away a crippling pain began working it's way through me as if it was a deadly toxin coursing through my veins.
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, not caring whether I got caught by Filch. "Hmm strange, why didn't Filch hear that scream?" I thought worriedly. I finally reached my safe haven of Hogwarts, I pushed through the giant portrait faintly whispering the password, I was not staying around to chat to the occupier.
I raced up the stairs two steps at a time, slamming my door loudly. I sank to my bedroom floor, tired and confused but most of all terrified. I began to undress when a sudden burning sensation sent shivers through me, I looked to my arm to find it bleeding badly with three deep gashes near my wrist. "How the hell?" Hermione panicked.
I cleaned my wound as best as I could and tried to get some sleep. I was sure the nightmares would follow! Would I see that insane bitch once more? Would she fracture the peaceful release of slumber?
Hope You Enjoy :)
