Challenge/Prompt: May#7- Nearly Headless Nick (or another ghost of your choosing)/ kink: voyeurism
author notes: I completely made up the character of Berenice Gulch, niece of Zamira Gulch, a minor hp character I got off the lexicon, (her dad or mom a wizard/Witch, the spouse muggle or muggleborn). Berenice died in the Battle of Hogwarts and it's around the time of the rebuilding/re-opening of Hogwarts that she begins to wander around and spy on people- because she's lonely.
Myrtle quite liked the new generation of boys that had come to Hogwarts after the War. Since she hadn't seen any handsome boys become ghosts after the War, she waited patiently for Hogwarts to re-open to bring new living ones in. (Waiting hadn't been too nice thought, her bathroom had been blasted apart, and there had been a lot of debris and two of the bathroom stalls had been turned to smithereens, and people had been quite rude and insensitive in taking ages to not fix it up).
Myrtle had been gleeful to learn that handsome Harry potter have had two sons (even if myrtle didn't understood what he saw in that boring girl he married), of the two Myrtle liked the younger one best. She also quite liked the Lupin boy. He was good looking even when he wasn't transformed.
Sadly, none of them ever visited her, and they didn't got curious to try the rebuilt prefects bathroom. Myrtle moped a lot about that.
Still, she liked to catch glimpses of them through whichever watery-surface she could travel through.
On a few rare occasions she had been able to burst the sinks on the boy's bathroom, and watched with delight as the boys pulled off their shirts and to dry them out with magic, and walked out of the bathroom shirtless. This was then ruined by two of the girlfriends walking by and suggest they go somewhere private.
Myrtle hated how she couldn't reach the girl's House bathrooms for revenge.

Today Myrtle, was planning on spying on the young Al Potter, when Nearly Headless Nick stopped by her bathroom. Myrtle didn't liked him much. He was so pompous and all about protecting the Gryffindors (which meant he had a way of blocking the Boy's bathroom in the Gryffindor Tower, and myrtle really resented him for that).
"Myrtle" he said, "I been told you been acting very improperly and have been bothering many people"
Myrtle wanted to protest saying she didn't do any harm, she was just looking at them, but Nearly Headless Nick wasn't finished.
"I been told you interrupted the youngest Mr. Potter private walk with a lady friend of his, as well barging in Mr. Lupin-Tonks picnic with Miss Weasley," he said, "I have heard as well that you been bothering people of the Slytherin and Ravenclaw Houses, You know the rules Myrtle. you're intended to stay in your bathroom or roam within your assigned areas without bothering or haunting anyone else. It would not please me to have to report your behavior to headmistress McGonagall"
Myrtle looked annoyed. She hadn't been seen by anyone and all she did was looking at the boys. but then myrtle thought of something.
"I wasn't bothering anybody. I haven't bothered anyone all week" Myrtle said, "People are saying mean things about me, when I haven't done anything"
Nick frown but seeing myrtle about to pitch one of her tantrums, his features soften. "mmm... the possibility does exist that it has not been you Myrtle, I have heard of a few errant ghosts who been wandering the castle ever since the Battle. It is possible that one of them has taken to bothering the students. I'll talk to the Headmistress. I ask you to please stay here while I make such inquiries.."
with that Nearly headless nick floated out of Myrtle's bathroom. Then Myrtle's sniffling turned to realization, then to fury.
Someone was bargaining into her territory! Someone was spying on the boys She spied!!
And myrtle didn't liked it at all.
Myrtle was all too familiar with being jealous of others. She felt it all too often seeing people around the school perform magic, or enjoy delicious Christmas dinner; she was jealous when she saw Harry get a girlfriend, or when his sons did, or when the metamorphomagus lupin did. She even was jealous of the pretty girls that paraded the hallways, or occasionally stopped in her bathroom to put lipstick on, talking about one cute boy or another- as if myrtle couldn't hear them and lament that she never got that chance.
The only thing that made her ghost existence bearable was being able to watch the boys. and Now someone was tipping them off to her kind of pastime, and doing what She did.
Whoever this ghost was, Myrtle would find it and tell it to stay away and go haunt somewhere else.
enjoy!
