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!
