Note: Oooh wow. It's been a while since I made an entry hasn't it. Almost forgot about this thing. Hehe. Oh and those of you wondering why I killed Harry, just read and you'll find out. At first it was just out of spite since my friend, who was OBSESSED with Harry Potter, got me hating it. Though it actually led to a pretty interesting plot twist that will come towards the end. Dun dun dun.

Jade had never been to this side of the school, so she was slightly lost. Somehow she managed to wind up in the rotating stairways, and that only confused her more. Every time she was close to getting off them, they'd move on her again.

Jade was getting extremely irritated going around in circles on the stairs. Finally she saw a hallway at the end of the staircase she was currently climbing. The moment she was almost on the stable platform, the stairs beneath her began to move once more.

"Shit!" Jade shouted and hopped onto the railing of the stairs as they pulled away from the hallway. She pushed off the railing hard with her left leg and stretched out her arms, reaching for the ledge. She just barely made it, but she didn't have much to hold onto. The polished floor was slippery, and the fact that her hands were clammy didn't make matters any better.

Jade looked down and arched her eyebrow. "Well, that's a nasty drop," she said hesitantly to herself. She turned back to the ledge and swung her body to the right and hauled her leg over the edge. From there it only took a few seconds to pull herself to safety. She dusted herself off lightly and muttered under her breath, "What kind of school is this any way. How on earth do students get to class on time?"

Jade took a step forward and lifted her head. She was started to see a woman in front of her, grinning at her maliciously. Jade's heart rate spiked up and she jumped back, though unfortunately tripped over her own feet. She fell hard on her back, and yelped lowly when her upper back hit the very edge of the hall, which she just recently climbed up onto. She groaned and leaned her head back, so she was laying half over the ledge.

"Ouch," she struggled to say. She then heard something, and it was moving towards her. She looked to her left and turned pale when she saw the gigantic staircase merely feet away from her head. She couldn't move at the moment, but only visualize her head being crushed between the hallway ledge and the stairway.

When the stairs were inches from Jade's face she snapped back into reality and thrust herself up right. Her hand then immediately grabbed the back of her head. A small patch of hair was caught between the colliding ledges.

Jade then remembered the woman she saw only briefly. From what she saw, the woman looked just like her, aside from her malice expression. She looked up to see where she went, but only laughed when she saw the mirror that hung on the wall. "Jade, your loosing it," she said to herself as she stood up once more.

Jade walked to the mirror and put her hand on it, inspecting it for a moment and sighed. "You'd think mirrors would be one of the last things to startle me like that." She chuckled again and turned to the right where the hall turned and followed it all the way down.

"I am so late," Jade muttered and walked with her hands behind her head. She came to the end of the wall way and stopped. There were two ways to go. Jade heard shouting coming from the left, so left was her choice. "Finally," she said, relieved to see Dumbledore's room. He had described it to her before she left the library earlier.

Jade couldn't understand what every one was saying, but she could hear the tension in the sound of their voices. Jade decided to wait and see what every one was saying before she went in. She opened the door only slightly and peeked in. No one was there. She blinked. She heard voices, but there wasn't anyone there. "Oh yeah, I have to take that statue staircase thingy to get up to his office…" She entered the room and stopped right in front of the statue and looked up, and listened intently.

"Why are we still sitting here, waiting for her to show up?" Snape demanded. The teachers obviously were fed up with waiting on Jade. She wondered exactly just now late she really was.

"She'll be here," Dumbledore said calmly. Jade smirked and shook her head. "At least some on sort of trusts me," Jade said quietly as she continued to listen. She knew Dumbledore trusted her, at least to a certain degree, or else he wouldn't have been so calm about her being so late.

"But she could be getting away right now! She probably had this planned out from the start, and now she's making her grade escape," Snape stated, trying to persuade Dumbledore otherwise.

At that moment, Jade thought it was the right time to come in. She sighed and stepped next to the statue and let it take her up to Dumbledore's office. As she entered into the office, all the teachers craned their heads around to look at Jade.

Jade scanned the room and locked her eyes on Snape, then said sarcastically, "No, I'm not making a get away. Just killing more innocent children." She turned to Dumbledore and noticed the relived expression he had. For a moment, then exchanged understanding glances, then Jade turned and leaned against the wall behind her.

"Somehow, I wouldn't doubt that," Snape scornfully responded.

Jade opened her mouth to make a comment, but held her tongue. She folded her arms and stared at Snape for a moment, then looked to the ground and waited for Dumbledore to start the meeting.

Once all was quiet Dumbledore began, "As every one knows, there has been a tragic murder here today. This second death within two years, and the ministry of magic is becoming very concerned. They are even more concerned because both deaths have occurred during the time Voldemort has come back. They fear that since both students attended Hogwarts, that Voldemort is specifically targeting this school, and for the childrens safety they may close it down.

No one stared at Jade anymore, and weren't concerned with giving her disgusted looks anymore. "Close Hogwarts? For how long?" Professor McGonnall asked softly.

"Until Voldemort is captured, or killed," Dumbledore regretted to say. "However," he continued, "They said we can decide whether we keep it open for not, but if anything else goes wrong we must close down."
