5 Nights of Harry Potter

Chapter 28- Fourth Night

Sorry for not updating AGAIN for ages. I've been busy with school stuff and writing my other story 'PotterLocked'. But this chapter is finally here!

DISCLAIMER: I DONT OWN HARRY POTTER OR THE GAME 5 NIGHTS AT FREDDIE'S!

Hermione felt the familiar feeling of daujavou as the three of them entered the restaurant for the fourth time that week. It was approaching midnight once again and her shift on her fourth night was about to begin. As they entered her office, Hermione thought about all they had done that day and felt a swoop of happiness in her chest. She had enjoyed every moment that she had shared with Harry and Ron at Alton Towers...well, apart from their meeting with Lucius Malfoy and the Death Eaters. Just as she thought this, the clock chimed 12; they had just got back in time from the theme park. Mr and Mrs Granger had dropped them off a few minutes ago, telling them to have a good time, which Hermione highly doubted would happen.
"Let's go" she told Harry and Ron; she didn't want to meet up with the animatronics too early in the night.
The two boys nodded and the three of them quickened their speed as they approached their familiar night guard security office. The three of them hadn't even thought about the revengeful animatronics all day; they had been having such a wonderful, exciting day that there had been no room for the dark thoughts of the robots to creep into their minds, making them dread the oncoming night ahead of them. As they reached the door, Hermione noted that, after this night, they would only have to suffer through one more night, her fifth night.
'If I survive' Hermione shuddered to herself as she pushed open the office door for the three of them to file inside.

The three of them waited for about 10 minutes (Ron having the sense to conjure up 2 extra chairs in order to avoid the usual argument over who should get to sit in the only night guard chair). Ron and Harry were still buzzing over their wonderful time at Alton Towers that day but Hermione, not wanting to be caught out again by the sneaky animatronics, payed her full attention to the security camera screens.
"That Nemesis ride was almost as good as a broomstick and it was certainly about the same speed!" Ron said for the hundredth time to a watchful Harry.
"I know, and..." Harry began but Hermione cut him off sharply.
"Shh! Bonnie AND Freddie have gone from the stage" she said quickly as she rapidly began to search for the missing robots on the cameras. Harry and Ron quickly ended their conversation about the theme park rides and joined her at the desktop. Together, the three Hogwarts students stared at the camera screens, all of them intent on spotting the bear and rabbit animatronics. None of them made a sound for a few minutes. Then Ron spotted something.
"Look at that" he said, motioning to camera screen 2B.
Harry and Hermione turned their attention to the screen Ron was pointing to. The camera screen showed a little corridor just outside their office on the left hand side. Hermione expected to see Bonnie or Freddie hiding but she couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, just a poster on the wall that was there every night.
"I don't understand" she said, very confused at why Ron had pointed it out to them in the first place; they needed to be focusing on finding the missing animatronics before THEY found them.
"Look at the poster" Ron said, pointing back to the screen.
Hermione looked again, staring hard at the poster. Then she noticed what was different and let out a gasp. The poster, which usually displayed a photo of Freddie Fazbear grinning, now displayed something completely different. A golden bear was present, his face showing pointed teeth and hollow pits or eyes. This sounded crazy but the golden bear from the poster was staring RIGHT AT THEM. They all stared at the poster on the camera screen for ages, all of them transfixed by it in horror. Then, as suddenly as they had noticed the poster change, the camera screens all went black.
"Oh my gosh" Hermione gasped, still staring at the blank screens.
"Why do you think that happened?" Harry asked, his face quite pale in the dim light.
"I don't know but I know something bad is going to happen, I can feel it" Hermione explained, fear and unease spreading through her veins.
"What do you think Ron?" Harry asked the redhead, still staring hopefully at the black screens of the security camera.
There was no reply.
"Ron?" Harry asked, the two of them turning round.
Ron was staring at something just behind them, his freckled face pulled into a silent scream that pierced his wide, haunted eyes locked on the thing just behind Harry and Hermione. Something sitting in the security office chair. The chair that Hermione and Harry always wanted the other to have. The chair that Hermione had left when she stood up to get a better look at the security camera screen.....
Hermione didn't know how it got there but she knew her eyes weren't deceiving her. Slouching in the tiny office chair sat a massive golden bear animatronic suit. It was the same one from the poster they had just previously spotted on the camera screens before they went dark. Hermione knew it was the same one because of it's hollow, blank, staring eyes that seemed to sink deep into it's robotic skull the more Hermione stared in horror at it. All three teenagers stared at it, none of them daring to move and all of them holding back screams of terror. Then, slowly, the animatronic sat up from its slouch at fixed it's black pits for eyes onto the three staring figures. Hermione felt like she had been hit with a stunning spell, Harry felt like he'd rather face another Hungarian Horntail and Ron felt like he did when he had his meeting with Aragog the Acromantula.
Golden Freddie then stepped out of the office chair and, with remarkable speed, began walking towards them, his mouth watering in hunger and a roaring shriek issuing from his wide, open mouth.
"AAAAAAHHHH" all three Hogwarts students finally screamed. Hermione didn't think, didn't remember that she had her wand and was allowed to perform magic outside school. All she thought of was getting away from the golden animatronic suit chasing after them. Harry and Ron seemed to be thinking exactly the same thing, due to the fact that they did exactly what Hermione did. The three of then ran out through the open office door, right into the restaurant itself, Golden Freddie whirring and shrieking behind them.
