Chapter 2: Face your fears

It was Thanksgiving weekend which meant that Hermione would spend the weekend with Ron. She got up from her bed, took a shower, packed and went to her car. Then she drove to Ron's house. Ron Weasley was part of a sort of rich family. They owned a big house and Ron had just two siblings. They were both boys and they were twins. Their names were Fred and George Weasley.

A couple of minutes later Hermione arrived at Ron's house. It was a big house (A/N: as I said before) and it was painted white. Hermione parked her car and got out. Ron was outside to meet her. "Hey" said Ron and he kissed Hermione. "So are you ready to meet my folks" "Yep I'm ready" said Hermione. And hand in hand they walked inside the house.

When dinner time came strolling around, everyone from Ron's family and Hermione sat at the table. Hermione was next to Ron and in front of them were Fred and George and beside Hermione was Mrs. Weasley and beside Ron was Mr. Weasley. "So what kind of job do you have Hermione" asked Mrs. Weasley. Hermione was about to reply when Ron said "Oh she's the editor the magazine I work with." Mrs. And Mr. Weasley looked impressed. Mr. Weasley then took a drink of wine (he had one to many cups) then asked Hermione "so what about your family?" Hermione paled. "Well, I uh" Hermione started but Mr. Weasley cut her off "You do have family don't you?" "Well yeah I do it's just" Then Ron cut her. "She does have a family but her relationship with them is bad. Her father walked out on her mother when she was eight and her mother didn't care about her anymore. Then she lived with her uncle in a small room under her uncles bar" The table was silent. Mrs. Weasley looked faint, Mr. Weasley had a "sorry" face on, Fred and George were so pale. "Oh dear I'm so sorry" said Mrs. Weasley. Hermione just nodded.

After dinner, Ron and Hermione were walking upstairs because Hermione was going to go to sleep. "By the way Ron, it wasn't a small room under my uncle's bar" Hermione stated. Ron chuckled, "I know, but my parents needed to be shaken up a bit, did you see the look on my brother's faces?" Hermione laughed. "Well here is the guest room, and if you want, I can come here in a bit" said Ron, Hermione blushed. "Well I'll just leave that up to you, well goodnight" said Hermione. She kissed Ron in the cheek and went into her room. She put her stuff in the room and sat on her bed. Then she sat up and noticed the closet door was slightly open. She sat there for a moment and got up and closed the door. When she was about to sit in her bed, the door opened. Frigtened she closed the door and ran back to her bed. Then she turned on the light and lay in her bed.

A few hours had passed (since the whole house was quiet) when Hermione heard someone open her door. Quickly, she turned off the light and pretended to be asleep. Then she felt someone going into her bed and realized it was just Ron. She didn't hear him say anything and then said "Are you alright" then Ron turns around but it isn't Ron. Some old creepy woman was there instead of him. Panicking Hermione turned on the light and she fell of her bed. Hermione started crawling to the wall. The old woman was following her. She walked over to her and then yelled "LOOK AT ME" and all of a sudden the woman turns into Ron. "Hermione are you alright?" asked Ron worried. Hermione wasn't listening to him. That creepy old woman looked a lot like her mother. That's when she put it together. "I got to go visit my mom" said Hermione. She started packing her things. "Hermione what is going on?" asked Ron. Hermione wasn't paying attention. Just then her phone rang. "Where's my cell phone" asked Hermione. "Are you alright Hermione" asked Ron. Hermione found her cell phone and then answered it

"Hello?" "Yeah oh hey uncle tom what's up, oh, are you sure?" "Ok, I will come, bye" Then she hanged up. "Hermione are okay, what's going on?" asked Ron once again. "Listen Ron I'm sorry but right now, I've got to go to see my mom ok?" said Hermione her voice shaking. She was also holding back tears. "I'm sorry" said Hermione. Then she grabbed her stuff and went to her car.

The next day:

The next day, Hermione arrived at the church. She seesa coffin open and walked straight to coffin. Inside the coffin was her mum. Yes, last night her uncle told her horrible news. Her mother died. It wasn't because of him, she was sick and frail. Hermione sniffed. Today they were going to burry her mother. Hermione touched the coffin and got a flashback of what happened last night. She shivered. "Bye mum" said Hermione. She looked at the coffin one last time and then went to the graveyard where they were going to bury her mum.

A couple of minutes later, the pastor was saying some good things about Hermione's mum. Many people were crying but Hermione wasn't. She never let her emotions show. After the pastor finished his prayer, they buried his mom. As everyone was throwing flowers to the burial site, Hermione noticed that there was a young girl standing by a tree looking at her. She tried to wave but couldn't because of all the emotions. Then Hermione threw a rose in her mum's burial site and started walking away, completely forgetting about the young girl. "Hermione is that you?" asked a man. Hermione turned around. "Yep it's me, hey uncle Tom long time no see!" said Hermione and she hugged her uncle. They were walking to the parking lot. "So how are you?" "I'm okay, well been better" said Hermione. Just then a figure came in between them and Hermione noticed the person had dark messy hair and green eyes. Then her eyes widened when she realized who it was. "Hey uncle, was that, I mean the person that passed us, was that Harry?" she asked. "Oh yeah, that is Harry, been helping out your mom a lot and he's also helping redecorate the house." Hermione remained silent for the moment as flashbacks from 15 years ago came to her mind. Then Hermione snapped out of it and then said "Hey, do you have any spare keys for the house, I'd like to come, you know just to get some of my parent's pictures and stuff." Her uncle looked at her for a second. Then he reached into his pocket and gave Hermione the keys. 'Let me warn you that it's a bit of a mess in there, so watch out ok?" said her uncle. "Ok" said Hermione. They stopped in front of a pick up truck. "Well this is my car, hope to see ya soon, maybe we can catch up sometime?" he said. "Yeah, well bye" said Hermione. "Bye" then her uncle turned on the engine and left. Sighing, Hermione wondered why on earth she asked for the keys. Then she decided she had to stop somewhere. She got into her car and went to her destination.

Hermione arrived at the clinic. It wasthe place where hermum and dad had brought her when they didn't believe that he was real. It was the Children's Psychiatric Center. She stepped inside. Then she saw her doctor, Albus Dumbledore. "Miss Granger, how are you? I'm deeply sorry about your mother" said the doctor. Hermione gave a sort of sad smile to him then said "Me too". They walked into the clinic and started talking. "So where are you going to stay?" asked Dumbledore. Hermione shrugged "I don't know probably at a motel or something" "Well why aren't you staying at your house?" "You know why" stated Hermione. Then Dumbledore stopped walking. He turned to Hermione. "Miss Granger, you've been coming here and visiting here for the past 15 years, you know for a fact the "boogeyman" doesn't exist." Hermione sighed, 'if only they believed me' she thought. "He does exist!" said Hermione. Dumbledore sighed. "Hermione the only way to not believe in the 'boogeynman' is to face your fears, why don't you stay at your house for one night and see what happens?" said Dumbledore. "But I-" started Hermione but Dumbledore interrupted. "Miss Granger, promise me you will stay this night in your house, trust me nothing is going to happen." Hermione sighed. "I promise" she told Dumbledore, fear etched in her voice. "Good, well I better be off, one of my patients need their medication so I'll see you around" he said and with that he turned around and walked away leaving Hermione alone in the empty hallway.

All of a sudden a scream was heard through the hallway. Hermione ran toward where the scream was coming from. She went inside the room and saw a young girl with brown hair screaming and looking at the ceiling. "Hey everything is going to be alright, don't worry" said Hermione trying to help her out. Apparently it wasn't working, so Hermione thought of the next best thing. "I NEED HELP OVER HERE!" yelled Hermione. The girl kept on screaming and looking at the ceiling. Hermione then turned toward the ceiling to see what was freaking her out. A part of the ceiling was partially open and it looked like someone was there. Then a doctor and a few of his assistants came and tried to calm her down. Hermione moved out of the way, trying to see the open ceiling. Then she was kicked out of the room. Hermione let out a breath, she did not want to go back to her house, but it was the only way to get rid of her fear. Head held high she left the clinic got into her car and started her journey back to where her nightmare began.
