Sacred of My Closet
Sometimes I wonder why I have to be the queer one in the Golden Trio. Why couldn't Ron have been the super weird one who has this particular… fear? Why was I the one cursed with it?
That's all I really had thought about while I stared into the darkness. Well, not really into the darkness, more like staring at my closet that was cracked open that had darkness practically seeping out of it.
My heart was pounding and there was definitely a lump in my throat. My lungs were definitely not working properly; I should probably get that checked out as soon as possible. My legs were growing painfully numb, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from my closet to do anything about it. If I did, who knows what would happen? It certainly wouldn't be good.
After an hour or so, nothing had happened. I thought I was definitely in the clear, but then I saw my worse nightmare, his eye. I let out a silent scream.

"Bloody hell, Granger, is that you?!"
"That would be an accurate assumption."
"And would you like to tell me why you just jumped into my bed?"
"The boogeyman is in my closet."
"That is the most ridiculous thing that has ever come out of your mouth."
"It's the truth, Malfoy! Can I please stay with you? Please?"
"If you must." He sighed, "Stupid arse… the boogeyman? That's how you answer my prayers? The freaking boogeyman; unbelievable."
"What was that, Malfoy? I didn't catch the last part."
"Just go to sleep, Hermione."
