Hey everyone! Here's my chapter 4 of my story! I would like to thank everyone for reading my story, as I've got over 300 views!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or the game 5 Nights at Freddie's!

As the clock chimed 11:30pm, Hermione walked through the restaurant doors. She had gone home and told her parents about her success ( they had been thrilled) and had received an owl from Harry asking if she could possibly pick him up from Number 4, Privet Drive the next day because his Aunt and Uncle had refused to drive him to her house ( Hermione had instantly assured him that she would pick him up at around 11am the next morning). As the restaurant door slammed shut behind her with a bang, a familiar chill ran up her spine. This place looked a lot less welcoming in the dark. Taking a deep breath and mentally taking herself that she was just getting scared about nothing, Hermione stride forward into the building. She instantly caught sight of the young man Mark she had spoken to that morning. He was waiting by the front desk looking bored.
"Hello" Hermione greeted him.
Mark briefly nodded and handed her a pizza uniform, which was identical to the one he was wearing, except her's had the words: SECURITY printed on the back. Hermione quickly went to the loo to change and came out wearing her new uniform, her long, brown hair tied up in a bushy ponytail behind her. Her faithful wand was discretely hidden in her jeans pocket; she had taken it with her because it made her feel safer, even though she knew she wasn't allowed to do magic outside of Hogwarts.
"This way" Mark said and the two of them began the tour of the restaurant.
"Ok, meet Bonnie the bunny, Freddie the bear and Chica the duck" Mark said, gesturing to the motionless animatronics that were sitting on the stage they had previously been dancing on that morning. Hermione glanced at the robots, not wanting to be in their presence for too long. She didn't know why but she felt wary when she looked into those expressionless, robotic faces that were illuminated by the dim light coming from the restaurant window.
" Now, these animatronics here have a little habit of walking around at night but that's nothing to worry about" Mark said briskly.
"Walk around?!?" Hermione repeated, shock etched in her surprised voice.
"Nothing to worry about" Mark repeated. "They just need their space so if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone"
Hermione sincerely hoped that he was right. Not that she believed him in the 1st place; his story was probably just a little joke he liked to play on newcomers to scare them on their first night. Well, SHE wasn't going to fall for that stupid trick!
Mark continued to show Hermione round the restaurant, showing her where the kitchens, kid's playroom and offices were. Eventually they reached a little office with the words: SECURITY written on the door. Inside the office, posters ( including the one Hermione had seen outside) were pinned to the wall above 11 security camera screens, which showed the different rooms and hallways around the pizza restaurant, including the stage where the motionless robotic animals were still sitting.
"Ok, this is where you'll be working each night" Mark said, gesturing to the tiny, cramped room.
"Ok...." Hermione said as she took in everything in the room from the small, plastic chair stationed at the desk to the miniature pink cupcake with eyes and a candle sticking out it's head that stared at her from the desktop.
"All you have to do here is watch these 11 security cameras until 6am, making sure nothing gets broken or stolen" Mark explained casually.
"Ok" Hermione said again. This job did seen pretty easy and simple.
"If you need to, close the two doors onto your left and right" he continued briskly. "But only close them in an emergency because you need to save power, because if all your power runs out, you won't be able to turn on any lights or check the cameras" Mark said quickly.
"Have a good night and lock the front door with the keys that are in your uniform pocket at 6:am tomorrow" he said, turning to the door to leave.
"Wait, why would there be an emergency which would make me want to shut myself in this office?" Hermione asked but the man had already left the room. Hermione sighed and sat down slowly into the plastic chair. She heard a faint slam of the front door and then silence. The only noise she could hear was the faint tick,tock of the ancient clock on the wall. Hermione edged forward on her chair, thinking how odd it was that Mark seemed to want to be out the restaurant as soon as possible, just as the clock struck midnight. Her night shift had officially begun!

End of chapter 4! I'll publish the next chapter as soon as possible! Thank you so much for reading and I hope you are enjoying the story so far!
