Chapter 6 Ghost in the Graveyard
Draco's POV
"I am your daughter."
Hermione yelled as Nicole Kidman began to beat her daughter. Okay, so we don't know Nicole Kidman. In fact, does she even have a daughter? Oh well anyway, it was a quite night at home. Just Hermione and me. On this night, we decided to watch a movie. I know she gets scared easily, but I suddenly had the strong erg to watch the movie The Others.
I'm not sure if you've ever seen it before, but it's starring Nicole Kidman. She plays an abusive mother, and then the housekeepers come, and then the… okay so I'm rambling. It's had to explain without giving away the climax. I didn't think that this movie was scary. There were a few jumpy parts, but nothing serious. If you really want to know more, then go watch it for yourself.
You're probably wondering how I know this movie, right? If you must know, we watched it on our last trip to Chicago, which was when we revisited Hill Valley Manor. Hermione was too tired and fell asleep in our bedroom while me and the rest of the Clue crew watched the movie in Harry and Ginny's room. I always thought that Hermione had seen this movie before. Guess I was wrong.
Back to reality, Nicole had just come to the rescue of her kids and they were hiding upstairs in a closet. I could feel Hermione shaking like mad as she cuddled up closer. I wrapped my arms closer around her.
"Oh my God. That crazy old lady is going to kill the children." Said Hermione barely above a whisper. Her eyes were large and staring at the TV. We lay there on our couch, totally oblivious to the world around. We were fixed on the children in the closet. This is part of the reason that we didn't hear Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Ali apperate in.
Suddenly, the closet doors flew open and the old ladieswas there, eyes blank and scary looking. At that instant, they jumped out and yelled, scaring Hermione and I half to death.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" We screamed as we toppled over and fell to the ground. Hermione was shaking more than ever. I held her close and stood up. The idiots were rolling on the ground laughing their asses off. It made me sick.
"Oh, we got you guys good!" said Harry trying not to laugh any harder.
"That was sheer brilliance." Said Ali gaining control of herself.
"Not funny, you guys. That was the freakiest part of the movie, and you just mad it worse." Said Hermione still shaking in my arms while I got us up on our feet.
"You should have seen your faces though. It was pretty funny." Said Ron. "Besides, we brought a special present." Ron pulled Clue out from behind his back. Hermione and I groaned.
"After all that, you still want us to play that game?" I asked incredulously. They nodded.
"Why didn't you just set up the board, then roll?" asked Hermione.
"You never know what you might be interrupting." Said Ginny giving us a wink.
"Oh shut up, and let's play." Said Ali taking the game from Ron and setting it up. In no time, we were back at Hill Valley.
Ron's POV
I knew they wouldn't be mad at us. We couldn't help it! They were right there looking so innocent and it was right at the jumpiest part of the movie. Most people grab their friend's arm at a scary movie to make them jump anyway. Hermione's so easy to scare; it's not even funny. Draco's not, but he was too involved in the movie to notice us.
Well, we made it back to Hill Valley in one piece and knocked on the door. Mr. Body, opened it looking grave and sad.
"Whatever is the matter, Mr. Body?" asked Peacock in a sweet voice. He shook his head.
"We're having some issues going on here." He started. "Last week, I hired a gardener. He was a nice fellow from Boston or something. Anyway, he was out working on night when he suddenly came back to the house screaming madly. All I could get out of him was 'Ghost… ghost… ghost…' call me crazy, but I think he saw some type of a ghost, or at least some sort of supernatural being." Finished Mr. Body in a misty voice as though he wasn't there.
"What are you going to do about it?" I asked him.
"Well…" Oh no. I knew that voice. He wants something. "I was hoping that my six best friends can help me to investigate…." He said giving us the sad puppy face. We groaned.
"What kind of investigating?" Asked Mustard cautiously.
"We're going to search my family cemetery." Said Mr. Body as though this was a big treat. I looked over at Scarlet. Her face had become pale. Well, at least she matched Plum now. I knew she was deathly afraid of cemeteries. We've never figured out this mystery, but it's been decided to just leave it alone. You've never seen Scarlet at times. Besides, now she's not just Hermione Malfoy. She's also Miss Scarlet. If you remember al of the stuff she and Plum did on our first trip here, (make-out, kiss in the ballroom, stare at each other, flirt non-stop… need I say more?" then you know that the Scarlet within comes out a lot in her.
"Why would we look in the cemetery?" asked Plum noticing his wife's expression.
"Because where else would you find a ghost? On the patio?" asked Mr. Body in a sarcastic tone.
"How would you know?" asked White. Ever seen one?"
"Let's just say a little owl called Bob told me about it." Muttered Mr. Body rolling his eyes. We didn't even know who the hell Bob was anyway. I think Mr. Body has lost it.
"Well then, let's get going. No use standing around here all night." Said White. Leave it to her to jump into danger headfirst… That's why I love her! Okay, so we were off!
Mystery POV
Seven people set out from the house, but one left them at the patio.
"You guys go ahead. I have a very important meeting tomorrow." Said Mr. Body hurrying back to the house.
"That bastard!" yelled one lady in frustration.
"How could he??" asked another ghost hunter.
"Screw him! Let's get this the hell over with." Said the same lady.
"Someone's in a bad mood…" muttered someone. The lady turned on them.
"You have no idea." The person kept quiet after that. The six began to walk on until they came to the cemetery gates. The men pushed them open and a breeze came down and blew through their hair.
Body Cemetery was old. Apparently, the Body family had been living in this house for years. Some of the head stones dated back to the 1700's. All around were statues of angles and devils. The six looked around, scared at what they might face. Grass was growing here and there. Weeds covered a few small tombstones. It became clear why Mr. Body had hired a gardener. The place looked as though it had not been watered, cut, or tended to in years.
"I think we should split up." Said one guest. Some looked at them as if they were crazy, but some agreed.
"We'll get done faster. Do we even know what we're looking for anyway?" said another.
"We're looking for any signs of a ghost or possessed thing. It can be anything, so beware." Warned a person who was regretting watching a scary movie before they came.
"Which is why we SHOULD NOT split up. You never know what could be out there." Said a very pale person.
"It's decided then. Let's split up." Said a guest. Everyone except for the pale person nodded and took a separate way.
One person was walking along. They tried to hum to keep their fear down, but it was no use. Everything around them seemed to be watching them. Suddenly, from behind, a figure loomed forward and pushed the person. They tripped over their dress and fell into an unfulfilled grave. They screamed and fainted.
"You sure this is a good idea?" asked one prankster to the other.
"Of course. It's full proof. We can have fun while we're stuck in this graveyard." Said the other. They quickly hung a noose around a very large tree and hid just as another person came walking. They took one look at the noose, and fainted away. The two people came out of hiding.
"I feel pretty nasty doing this, you know."
"So what? You're the king of pranks and you feel nasty about this?"
"Well, yeah. After all, she is my-"
"Do you feel something?" asked one looking around wildly.
"Yeah… I do. Holy hell!" exclaimed the other looking down at their hands. They were becoming transparent all of the sudden.
"What are we going to do?" asked the other hoping there was an answer as their feet began to disappear as well.
"What the-" said one, but it was too late. The two people had disappeared completely from the graveyard.
Now there were two roaming the graveyard. One was slowly walking, looking in all directions, hoping to see a friend. They walked over towards a collection of aged tombstones and began to think. Then, something was heard from behind.
"I see you…" it said in an eerie voice. The person's skin began to crawl as they slowly turned around.
"You! How could you? You-" they began to ask.
"No, it's not." Said the figure coming closer. Its breath was mere inches from the person's pace. They smelt the familiar scent and became determined.
"AAAARRRRGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was their last words.
HM: I hate this story.
A: Only because you are scared of cemeteries.
HP: I never liked them either.
D: We had one on the grounds of Malfoy Manor. I thought it was creepy, but my father said it made us look rich.
R: Do we have a cemetery for our relatives?
G: We couldn't fit our entire family into one cemetery anyway, Ron.
R: True. So did you understand it?
HP: I thought it was kind of weird.
A: It was also a little confusing.
D: Not everything is made easy, you know.
HM: Can we finish this fast? I hate this topic as well.
R: Fine. Okay, so Mr. Body left us at the beginning. We got to the cemetery and split up. The person to fall into the dug grave was White. It had to have been a woman because she tripped over a dress.
HP: Humpty-Dumptiy was pushed… by Plum AGAIN! What is it with you and getting everyone?
D: It's natural.
R: Next, Mustard and I played that little prank on Peacock. She fainted and so there were only four left. Harry was the one feeling lousy because he had just made his future wife faint of fright.
G: I can't believe you, Harry!
HP: Blame it on Ron.
HM: And you're supposed to be married soon.
HP&G: Shut up!
R: Mustard and I paid for our prank though. It's a mystery on its own, but we became to disappear. We really have no idea how, but it happened.
D: What was with that anyway?
HP: No idea. Probably a ghost's idea of humor or something.
R: We were hoping that you would figure out that the last person who was scared was Scarlet. The figure behind her was Plum, except he was possessed.
G: Good job! You got yourself possessed and almost killed your wife.
D: Did not. Besides, it was worth it…
R: After that, Hermione took out her candlestick and began beating him with it until he snapped out of it. It worked eventually. They made out for the rest of the night.
A: What gave you the idea to do that?
HM: I don't know. It just kind of came because he was just… there and the moonlight was making his hair look very sexy.
D: Thanks dear.
G: We found them the next morning, sleeping peacefully. Made us mad! We hoped that they weren't doing what we thought they were doing.
D: What gave you that idea?
G: Bob the Owl's girlfriend, Betty.
HM: Ginny, you know that green stuff you're smoking? Stop.
G: Shut up!
HP: This was by far the strangest mystery that we've been through yet…
R: I agree. We'll leave it here so maybe you can get over the shock of such a weird story… Bye for now!
A/N: I didn't like this chapter as much. I planned it, but it was hard. You're probably wondering about the Bob/Betty thing, right? Well, it's an inside joke between natyslacks and myself. ::grins:: Thanks so much for reading this and please review.
Me,
Ronfan
