Mark walked down the dark corridor, fumbling with his pants to go back up. Of course, the house bathrooms had to be clogged. So, he had had to go all the way down to the bathroom on the third floor. Ascending the stairs, he really hoped that Filch didn't catch him... He'd already had enough detentions this year with Umbridge. That woman scared him.
A rustling sound was made behind him, causing Mark to turn back and try to see what it was. There was nothing. Must have been my imagination. he thought. But, as soon as he thought that, two eyes appeared in one of the shadows, their pupils focusing completely on Mark. Freezing, he hoped beyond hope that it was just a ghost, or even Peeves. But no, the eyes moved forward into the moonlight, now illuminating the toad-like face framing them, wrinkly old night pink night-gown, that disgusting smile.
A loud scream resounded throughout the castle. Teachers and students alike ran through the halls towards the sound, finding Mark lying curled up in a ball on the stairs, muttering, "No, please no. Please no."
How's that?
