(Author' Note – Sorry for the delay, I've been busing on another story that was going very well. Now, with the series, That may not be coming out until later in the year. Now, as before, I don't own Harry Potter. Enjoy!)

Last time on The Horror Within – Hermione is scared by a boggart, which morph into a vampire. Hermione and her friends left the classroom to get some fresh air. Little did Hermione know, today was about to get a whole lot worse.

"Take a seat there, ok, there we go." Thomas said as they sat Hermione down on a seat in the courtyard. Hermione is still in shock, after what happened, and on top of that, Malfoy had to have his say. Ducky gave her the chocolate, but not even that was settling Hermione down.

"If she doesn't settle down in about ten minutes, we will take her to Madam Promfrey." Ducky said. They all nodded but Hermione started speaking.

"Why did the boggart had to do that? It had to show my worst fear." Hermione said.

"Well, we were facing a boggart." Ron said. Harry shot him a look like he had two heads.

"Well said, mate." Harry said. Well, looking at it, her fear of vampires can be as strong as a basilisk.

"So she's really has a fear of vampires?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, had it since she was a little girl." Ducky said.

"Well, I didn't she was scared if something like that, they are known to exist in the wizardry world." Ron said. Hermione gasped and started to panic even more. They are real, she thought. No, no, no. Her head was starting to hurt so much that she was starting to get dizzy.

"Oh well said, Ron." Thomas said. "Come on, we're taking her to the hospital wing." Harry and Ron pick Hermione up so she can stand and walk. Eventually, they reached the hospital wing with Madam Promfrey already treating some students.

"Oh, not another one. What's wrong with her?" Promfrey asked

"She copped a fright. She not recovering very well." Ducky said

"All right, put her over there" She ordered. They take Hermione over to the spare bed and sit her down. Madam Promfrey walked over to them with a calming draught. "Alright, take this." She said. She handed the calming draught over to Hermione. She took a slip and at first She just wanted to spit it out. Eventually, the potion was starting to take effect and Hermione started to calm down.

"Now, that is the Hermione we would like to see." Harry said which makes Hermione smile.

"Alright, to make sure that you are alright, Miss Granger will have to stay here until dinner." Madam Promfrey said.

"WHAT?!" Hermione protested. "But what about my classes?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell your teachers where you are and I'll get any work that needs to be done." Ducky said. "We better go." She gestured to everyone and they left the room but Ron lingered behind.

"You sure you're okay?" Ron said in a low whisper.

"I'm fine, Ron. What's there to be worry about?" Hermione said.

"It's just..." Ron trailed off. "You looked very scared." Hermione just smiles at him before holding his hand which made him go red.

"I'll be fine." She said. Ron just smiled at her before leaving the room. He rounded the corner and met up Harry.

"I saw what happened there." Harry said. Ron's face as dark red as you can ever get.

(#BREAK)

Come to me. Let me find your worst fears. Let it kill you. Kill. Kill. Kill

Hermione woke up with a start. Where did that voice come from? She thought to herself. Then Madam Promfrey walked around to her bed.

"Oh, You're awake. Good, you can head off to dinner now." She said. Hermione smiled and jumped out of the bed before grabbing her bag and walked off to the great hall nut her only focus was that voice inside her head. Where did it come from? That is a question that was best suited for the Library before a loud rumble entered her stomach.

"As much as I hate to admit it, but Library can wait." She muttered to herself. She reached the great hall a few minutes later. Unfortunately, she just had to bumped into Malfoy, of all people.

"Lookie here, it's the mudblood." Draco Sneered. Hermione wanted to cry but she had to remain strong. So she decided to ignore him. "Look out, it's an Vampire!" he shrieked out. Hermione and a few others turned to where he was pointing but nothing was there. When she turned back around, she saw Draco and his mates put in fake vampire teeth and show them off while walking towards her. Hermione is then pulled away by Ginny before Ginny gave them a raised fist. She took Hermione to the Gryffindor table.

"Hermione, are you alright? I heard what happened." Ginny said.

"I'm alright." She said. She took a sit next to her red-haired female friend and started eating. Eventually, Hermione got full and Dumbledore ushered them to bed. They reached the common room and Hermione just decided to head to bed before then she saw that book. That damn book. She saw Lavender and Parvati fall asleep and decided that she will read it. She picked up the book and open the first page. That was black writing.

What is fear?

Fear is a feeling induced by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behaviour, such as fleeing, hiding or freezing from perceived traumatic events. Fear in human beings may occur in response to a specific stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to body or life. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis.

Phobias are a form of extreme fear

Why would it described fear? She thought.

My job is not to tell you about fear, I show you it. Eventually, I'll break you with that fear. Then I will kill you.

Oh, Hermione was starting to hate this book. Tomorrow, she was going to returned this book. But before she can shut the book, another sentence appeared.

Let's find yours.

Then a bright light surrounds Hermione, engulfing her in its showering brightness. In the silent of the night. Hermione screamed as she was dragged into the book. Eventually, it stopped. The book was shut. Hermione was no longer in the room. She was now inside the book.

(Author's Note – There we go. Hope it was good and you can understand. Next time, It will transfer views between Hermione being inside the book while Harry, Ron, and Ginny are looking around for her. Probably won't be updating for a while. Like and review if you have any questions. Until Next Time, Kizzard245 out!)
