What is Gregory Goyle afraid of?
It was a 'peaceful' night in the Slytherin dorm all the occupants were asleep that was until screaming awoke them. They all looked frantically around and then they saw Gregory twisting and turning upon his cot, hand clenching and unclenching his green blanket lying on the floor. "Gregory?" Vincent asked hesitantly. "Wake up." He did not however go near not wanting to tangle with those fists.
"Perhaps if we shout he will wake." Blaise said and Draco shook his head.
"Have you ever tried to wake either Crabbe or Goyle? It is impossible, sometimes they can wake each other up, no he is screaming and not waking himself up, I think he's too deeply asleep."
"NO, NO." Gregory said his head going from side to side. "NOT THE KILLER FUZZY BUNNIES." Malfoy raised an eyebrow.
"Fuzzy bunnies?" He asked. "He's afraid of fuzzy bunnies."
"NOT THE HAT ANYTHING BUT THE HAT."
"Yes and of top hats, he had a rabbit once and well he tried that muggle trick with his father's top hat not knowing that it was a criminal cap turning any creature into a monster. The bunny went into the hat but came out as a carnivorous beast, Hoppy the bunny was also quite hungry and promptly started to chew upon Gregory eating him alive. Greg doesn't respond well to being eaten it makes him a bit irritable and so bunny flew across the room and was quite frankly a bloody mass of something that was a bunny once but more resembled a bloody feather duster than a bunny. Gregory was five at the time and never forgot it, nether did I, I have never again had the opportunity to see rabbits fly."
"But fear of killer bunnies?"
"He's afraid of rabbits in general, its called Leporiphobia." Vincent said. "Its a pretty uncommon fear but he can never go out during Easter for fear of the killer Easter bunny."
"Killer Easter bunny?"
"Yes he thinks all rabbits are out to get him, hence the nightmare, remember he made himself sick the day we faced the boggart he was too afraid to even come to class."
"THEY ARE MULTIPLYING, NO ANYTHING BUT THAT."
"Rabbits breed very fast." Vincent explained.
"I know that." Draco said, "Maybe we could douse him in water." He was finally starting to wake up.
"There is that Malfoy brain." Blaise said grinning.
"No, spell." Vincent said and the other two looked at him shocked.
"Have you been playing stupid Vincent?" Blaise asked and then took out his wand. "Rennervate." He said pointing at Gregory who jumped out of bed fists clenched eyes blazing.
"Looking for the bunnies?" Draco asked mildly and Gregory blushed.
"I am sorry you heard that." He said and Draco nodded.
"It was most entertaining." Draco said. "Although also disconcerting, killer bunnies?"
"I have explained about that." Vincent said loyally. "A childhood experience could scar even the bravest of men, I am also somewhat afraid of rabbits."
"Must all my servants be milksops?" Draco asked the ceiling which made both of them quite angry.
"Milksops?" Vincent asked. "Did you just call me a milksop?"
"Yes." Draco said and Vincent promptly hit him, he turned around and fell flat on his behind.
"First of all we are not your servants, we consider you to be our friend. Secondly we do not like being called cowardly, we simply have Leporiphobia." Vincent said. "Understand?" Draco nodded and everyone returned to bed. The night was never mentioned of, by any of the four boys as it was a matter of considerable embracement.
