Summary: A serial killer is in Hogwarts… Who is it? And
who is it targeting?
Author's Rambling: This is my VERY first attempt at something
very dark.
Sowie 2 the ppl who are wating 4 dis chapter! I moved, and the computer was disconnected.
Chapter Hannah Abbot hummed to herself. Justin had finally asked
her out! Took him long enough. She thought with a smile.
There was a light tap on her shoulder.
"Yes?" She said, turning around. Nobody was there.
That was interesting…
"S'cuse me? Anybody there? K, well, I could've SWORN I
heard someone… maybe just my imagination. I don't know." She shrugged.
Another tap. This time Hannah whirled around, but still no one.
"Is there someone playing a joke on me? Because I gotta tell
ya, it's not funny at ALL." She crossed her arms popular girl way
and fumed. Hannah picked up her brush and put it in her pack, weighing
it. Just right. She smiled and opened the door, walking down
the hall to lunch.
"The 10 little witches, lived out in the woods, thinking of the time
that-" ANTOHER tap. Hannah was mad now.
"Is that you Susan? Why are you mad at me? No? Then
is it Justin? You wouldn't be so mean to me now, would you?"
She sighed and walked into the bathroom, applying some makeup.
"I know, I can't believe it!" Some 4th years were giggling about
something as they walked out of the room. Hannah smiled at them and
reapplyed her eyeshadow.
"Justin's gonna love me in this!" She giggled to herself as she
danced and opened the door,,,,,,,,,
There was someone there. Someone with a rope and wand.
Hannah gasped.
"What the-" She backed away, but suddenly found herself not able
to move. "What's going on? HELP!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!"
She screamed and screamed and the killer moved toward her in rage.
"Nice try Hannah, but you'll be dead before they come." The distored
voice came out. The killer took out the piece of rope and wound it
around Hannah's neck.
"NO! GET OFF of ME!!!" She screamed, pulling at the rope.
Hannah elbowed the killer, who yelled out, but still had a firm grip on
the rope. She elbowed again, both hands clutching the rope with all
her might. This time, the mask fell partially off. Hannah painfully
turned around,
"No,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"
"Well, yes." The figure's voice was still a little messed up.
It pulled on the rope again, and took out a knife.
"No, please, don't kill me… You wouldn't. You couldn't…"
Hannah whimpered in fear. She mistakenly turned to try to open the
door, but that gave the killer a good chance. It stabbed the knife
viciously through Hannah's stomach. Blood was everywhere, spilling
all over the killer's gloves. Hannah convulsed, her knees buckled,
and blood escaped through her mouth, stainly her new yellow robes.
She used the last of her strength to whisper,
"Please,,,,,,,," She gasped, and threw up another mouthful of
dark red liquid - it was getting in her hair, dripping on her shoes.
The killer glared from behind the half-on mask and took out the knife.
The blood exploded from Hannah's wound, like a bomb blowing up, it splattered
mercilessly on the stall doors and mirrors. She let out a strange,
strangled animal noise as the killer stabbed the knife through the upper
part of Hannah's abdomen and let go of the handle, arm still holding the
rope. It pulled one last time.

The next morning,,,,,,
Madme Pomfrey was talking to Professor Dumbledore in a very frightened
voice.
"And, just going in- saw the girl. The poor girl. Blood-
spread out everywhere. Bloody neck just like Snape. Gashes
around her body, on the mirrors, down her face, on the door, everywhere...
Oh- Albus. Never in all my 35 years working here…" The
middle-aged woman broke down into hiccuping sobs. Dumbledore patted
her arm sympathetically.
"Was there anyone else there?"
She shook her head.
"The door, it was locked, and I had to go get Filch, who was sleeping,
so I just took the key- and-"
"It's alright… Poppy, we'll need to hold a special staff meeting.
In the meanwhile, how's Josie doing?"
This seemed to cheer up the nurse.
"She's recovering nicely. Still in shock. Doesn't remember
a thing. When I told her Severus was killed, she went into a tantrum.
I had to use a sleeping potion. Some of the 7th years are taking
care of her now, including that girl that's interning, you know, Cho Chang
or something."
"Oh, yes, Ms. Chang had mentioned she wanted to work at Hogwarts.
I have a feeling she'll have to be the temporary Potions teacher for now.
It's a little early to consider that, but- it'll have to do for now."
He sighed. "It's not good. Josie needs to remember. She's-
going to be fine, though, right?"
"Oh, of course, Albus. But, the next time you see her, try not
to mention what happened. I don't think SHE really understands the
severity (get it?) of the situation. But I think it's sweet that
you care about this school so much." She bit her lip, trying not
to cry. "But poor Hannah! She was so NICE! She always
wanted to help me in the Hospital Wing after she graduated. Why should
anyone want to kill her? Who in the school would do that, hmm?
There's been," She counted, "1 Slytherin, 1 Hufflepuff, and 2 Ravenclaws
attacked. Albus, I know you were in Gryffindor, but-"
"Yes, I understand. But you must remember, they might be doing
this on purpose. No one can predict the future." He tilted
his head. "But who knows, now?"
Madame Pomfrey headed towards the door.
"I have to check on Josie. If you have any news, any news at
all about Hannah Abbott, tell me, please. The girl was going to major
in doctoring…" She walked out silently, leaving Dumbledore, again,
in his office, pondering, again, what would happen. Again.
So, what do u think? I have another gruesome tale if anyone is interested in the next chapter!
