This just came out of no where, honestly. I just started to type, but I like it, so I'm posting it. Hope you like it
He had always thought that it was all in his head. That was what his dad had told him when he was little. That was what the bigger kids at school had said when they teased him.
They had all said that there was no such thing as monsters under your bed. They had all told him that the boogie man didn't exist. It was all in his head. He was being a big baby.
No matter how much he tried to listen to them, to believe them, he couldn't. He would lie in his bed, with his blanket pulled to his chin. His eyes would be wide open, watching the room, until sleep took him.
Only one person never made fun of him. Only one person had tried to protect him.
Colin, his older brother.
Colin had spent countless nights in his room, with the promise that he would stay up until he fell asleep. Not once had he broken that promise.
He had been forced to face his fear when Colin went to school. For the first few months, he managed to keep the monsters at bay himself. But once Colin stopped writing, and they get the news that something had happened to his big brother, they came back full strength. He spent night after night with a flashlight, and his toy lightsaber. If they could get Colin in his new school, what would stop them from getting him at home?
He had made Colin stay with him the entire break.
Another year passed, and he soon joined his brother at Hogwarts. They were as close as ever.
He had been amazed at this perfect world, where anything could happen. Where people could fly, and dragons were real.
However, he had soon found the dark in his bright new world. The Slytherins often teased him, and his classes were harder than he thought. Sometimes he had wished he could go back to the world where his biggest problem had been the monsters under his bed.
Years later, he wished that was the worse he had found in the wizarding world.
After all, how could he tell his parents that his big brother, his protector, his best friend, had been killed by the boogie man?
Is it any good? Like I said, I like it, although it is sad. I just see Dennis standing over his brothers body, not sure of what to do. I don't own the characters.
