Chapter 10
"Tonight's the night." Belinda sang to herself as she got ready for class that day.
Tonight was the night they were going to kill the mud blood. It had been a couple weeks since they planned it and Dumbledore was freaking out about the petrified students. He couldn't figure out what was happening and had the Minister on his ass about finding out what was going on.
Tonight would be the grand finale and then they would put the snake back to rest and Myrtle would be dead, finally.
Myrtle had been careful since that day she ask for help on potions from Tom. Belinda had warned her again and Myrtle was worried. Belinda was scary and she had a feeling she would follow through with her threat, so Myrtle spent the days looking over her shoulder for trouble.
Belinda skipped down to the common room and met Tom, who was waiting.
"You look happy today." he said to her after taking her hand and pulling her to breakfast.
"Oh I am. Tonight is going to be sweet." she said in a dreamy expression that had Tom chuckling at her excitement.
"Indeed it will be, love." he said as they sat down. Belinda looked over towards Myrtle and caught her eye and gave the girl a wink. Myrtle's eyes widen before she turned back to her plate not looking at them anymore during breakfast.
Belinda was on cloud nine all day. It was hard for her to stay still during classes and Tom was often putting a hand on her leg or around her waist to keep her from bouncing out of her seat. When there last class came around Belinda was going crazy. They were in DADA class and Professor Todd was talking about the unforgivables and Belinda was rapidly tapping her fingers on the desk.
Tom reach up and grabbed her hand and held it under the table.
"Relax, your acting like a drug addict or something." he whispered to her and she giggled.
She smirked at him before moving her hand to his leg and ran it up his inner thigh before brushing over his erection. Tom sucked in a sharp breath and silently groaned before glaring at his little minx.
"Stop it this instant." he said and she just smiled and did it again.
"Miss. Corbin." she heard the Professor say and she turned and looked at him but didn't take her hand off Tom's inner thigh.
"Yes, sir." she ask.
"Can you name the incantations for the three unforgivables." he ask and she nodded.
"Imperio, Crucio and Avada Kadavra." she said and the Professor smiled at her and nodded.
"10 Points to Slytherin." he said before going back to lecturing the class. Belinda didn't tease Tom anymore during class but kept her hand on this leg, which he didn't mind and was grateful she wasn't torturing him anymore. He didn't know how long he would have been able to sit there without ravishing her in front of the whole class.
When dinner was finally over they waited, impatiently in Belinda's opinion for nightfall.
When the time came Belinda went to the girls bathroom and waited while Tom went and persuaded Myrtle to meet him in the bathroom. She agreed and ran in quickly to meet him after curfew.
Tom then went and found the basilisk and explained what it was to do. While he was doing that Myrtle was primping in the mirror thinking her dreams were coming true. Tom had finally noticed her and she was going to get the boy she had fantasized about for a long time.
Belinda watched her from her hiding place in the bathroom for a moment letting the stupid girl hope and dream before she finally stepped out.
The clicking of heels had Myrtle spinning around with a big smile on her face, but that smile dropped and turned to fear when Belinda walked slowly around the sink and stood not feet from the mud blood.
"What's the matter, Myrtle not who you thought it would be." Belinda ask her in a cold, deadly voice.
"Where's Tom." Myrtle stuttered backing up until she hit the wall, shaking in fear.
"Oh he will be here soon. He wouldn't want to miss the show." Belinda said twirling her wand in her hand.
"What.. What show." Myrtle ask.
"You paying for trying to take my Tom from me with your life." Belinda said as if it was obvious. Myrtle gasp and tried to run but Belinda lazily flicked her wand and Myrtle found herself bound to the wall.
"Please leave me alone." Myrtle cried her glasses fogging due to her tears and heavy breathing.
Myrtle looked hopeful as the door opened and Tom walked in. He smirked at the vision of the mud blood bound to the wall by his witch. Walking over he gave Belinda a quick kiss before wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Everything is ready, love. The basilisk is waiting for my call." Tom whispered to her and she nodded.
"Tom, help me please." Myrtle begged and Tom just scowled at her.
"Why would I do that. Your nothing but a filthy mud blood who made the grave error of pissing off my beautiful snake." Tom said running a hand down Belinda's face.
"Have fun." Tom told her before stepping back, silencing and locking the door and waited to watch.
Belinda nodded and walked slowly up towards the mud blood.
"I've been waiting for your death since the moment I saw you leer at a man you could never have." Belinda purred into her ear before raising her wand.
"Crucio." Belinda said and they watched as Myrtle arched her back and screamed in pain as the curse racked her body.
Belinda held the curse for as long as she could with out it being very obvious. Just as Myrtle was starting to convulse Belinda released the spell and watched as the girl slumped against her binds, panting heavily.
"Lovely display of power my love." Tom said from his spot at the sink. He was entranced by the dark power that pulsed from her when she tortured someone.
"please…No…more." Myrtle whispered. Belinda smirked and hit her with the curse one more time before stepping away.
"Call her Tom." Belinda said as she released Myrtle and levitated her over towards one of the stalls. Belinda obliterated her mind of the torture or of them being there so Dumbledore couldn't use Legilimens to find out they had anything to do with it.
Tom hissed a command and the large snake slithered out of the pipes and over towards a panting Myrtle. The girl looked up and gasp as the snakes eyes opened and locked with Myrtle's and the mud blood died instantly.
Belinda and Tom smiled, loving the feel of killing, no matter the means.
After that Tom took the snake back down to the chamber and put her back to sleep before they made there way to bed. Belinda sleeping with Tom that night, both needing release after the torture and kill.
The next morning the school was in an uproar. Tom and Belinda walked to breakfast watching as tons of Ministry workers ran up and down the halls.
"What's going on." Belinda ask Abraxas as they sat down.
"The mud blood Myrtle was found dead this morning in the girls bathroom and from what I've heard they cant figure out how she died. Dumbledore and the ministry thinks it has something to do with the petrified students as well." Abraxas said not really caring about the dead girl. Belinda and Tom shared an amused look before eating.
"Can I have your attention." Dumbledore said as he stood at the front of the great hall with the ministry workers.
"I have the sad task to inform you that a 6th year Hufflepuff student was found dead in the girls bathroom this morning. We are investigating the death along with the petrified students. We believe it to be the work of a creature of some sort. If anyone has any information please let us know. If the culprit is not found we will be forced to close the school and send everyone back home. Classes are canceled until a decision is made. Please stay in the common room and if you do go off don't go alone." Dumbledore said and the hall was silent.
After breakfast Tom and Belinda were walking down the hall when they saw the ministry workers carrying a sheet covered body down the hall.
"Tom. Belinda. What are you two doing here." Dumbledore ask eyeing them.
"We just had to see the truth for ourselves, headmaster." Belinda said thinking quickly.
"Will they really close the school?" Tom ask and Dumbledore nodded.
"If the killer is not found yes." he told them.
"but if it was found. Would the school remain open." Tom ask and Dumbledore narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Do you have something you want to tell me, Tom." he ask and Tom shook his head.
"No. Not right now." Tom said. Dumbledore nodded and walked off leaving Tom and Belinda standing there.
"Come. It's time to frame Hagrid." Tom told her and she nodded. Tom did a spell that let them know that Hagrid was in the dungeons again. They walked down quickly until they were in front of the storage door with Hagrid inside.
"I have to get you out. A girl was killed. They'll think you did it." Hagrid told the large spider.
"Hagrid." Tom said walking into the room and pointing his wand. Hagrid whirled around and his eyes went wide.
"No. He didn't do it." Hagrid pleaded.
"Belinda. Go get the ministry workers." Tom told her and she nodded before running down the hall to get the ministry people.
"Now, step aside Hagrid." Tom said holding his wand to the large student.
"No. He's innocent." Hagrid said and Tom shook his head.
"The girls parents will be here soon to collect her body the least we could do is make sure the killer is slaughtered." Tom said and Hagrid shook his head rapidly.
"They'll have your wand for this, Hagrid." Tom said but Hagrid wouldn't move.
"Move." Tom yelled before pointing his wand at the box and sending a stunner at it. The large spider jumped and ran out of the room. Tom sent move spells at it with Hagrid yelling for him to stop but he couldn't caught the spider.
Footsteps were heard and Tom turned to see Belinda leading the ministry workers, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Professor Todd over towards them.
"It got away. Hagrid has been keeping a Acromantula in this room. When I tried to apprehend it Hagrid wouldn't move and it got away." Tom said and everyone turned to look at a sobbing Hagrid.
"Is this true boy." the Minister ask.
"I kept him as a pet sir. But he never hurt no one. He didn't do it." Hagrid pleaded. Dumbledore tried to side with Hagrid but the Ministry wasn't hearing it.
"You'll have to come with us Hagrid. Punishment must be dolled out. And Mr. Riddle and Miss. Corbin will both receive special awards to the school for there bravery on trying to catch the beast." the minister said and both teens smiled.
Dumbledore eyed them but couldn't say anything. He didn't have proof that they had anything to do with it and the evidence was against Hagrid. He sighed before following Hagrid and the Minister. He just hoped he could stop them from sending the boy to Azkaban.
When they were gone Tom pick Belinda up and spun her around before planting a big kiss on her lips.
"It worked. We did it. Got ride of the mud blood and Hagrid not to mention an award. We are brilliant." Tom told her and she nodded laughing at the smugness she could feel through there link. Everything work out just as they planned and it was just more proof that when they worked together on something nothing and no one could stop them.
