This is probably the next to last chapter!



Ron dropped his notebook on the floor and scrambled from his bed, tripping a little from his still relatively weak legs.

"Professor?" He yelled. Josie was screaming and hitting something. He leaned over and saw a masked figure trying to pin her down.

"STOP IT!" She tried hitting it. "STOP! STOP TRYING TO-"

"SHUT UP!" The killer struck Josie on the face with a sharp glove. Ron gasped as the spikes cut into Josie's face and the flesh and skin shredded right off onto the glove and other bits flew onto the window with a sickening plop. The blood was gushing down her throat as Josie started choking.

Ron didn't know what to do. There was nobody he could call, so he scrambled over and pushed the killer back, feeling the spikes in the gloves lightly scratching his arm.

"Ugh." The killer got up and faced Ron. Ron breathed heavily as he prepared.

"W-w-hy, you-you, why are you-" But the killer cut him off.

"You think you're so smart."

Ron gasped. There was actually no voice change. It was a female's voice. Exactly the voice of the person he KNEW it was.

"You think that you can figure out who I am? Well let me tell you something."

She lunged toward Ron with her glove held out and stuck the spikes and newly gained blades right into his stomach. Ron groaned and looked up. The blood was already seeping out through the corners of the blades.

"What do you think would've happened if you did figure out who I was? Hmm? How do you think you even knew it was me?"

"Iguh." Ron's mouth filled with blood and he tried to spit it out, but the immense pain in his gut was filling his brain with a flashback of his life.

"It was a LUCKY GUESS" She plungled deeper with the glove. "You think the reason that I wrote those stupid notes was REALLY the reason why I killed all those people? NO. Guess what? You're wrong. Like you're always wrong. I've watched you so long. I know EVERYTHING about you. You're so predictable…"

The killer smirked under her mask and took it off with her other hand. Sure enough, it was exactly who Ron thought it was.

"Wrrngg.." He murmured.

"Whasat? Can't hear you!" The killer rolled her eyes. "Any last words."

"Knwwww Prrssorr Snnnnnattrr."

The killer gasped and released her hold on Ron. His eyes suddenly got VERY big. The blades and spikes went deeper and higher into his stomach. The blades became fingers and curled slowly out of his skin. The loose bits of skin flecked the killer's robe as she sank to the floor in shock. How did he know?

Ron tried coughing for someone, anyone, but he knew that no one would ever come. Is this how it ends? He thought.

"AURUUUGHHHHH!!!" Someone screamed as loudly as she could and flung the killer against the wall of the infirminary. Ron tried to move his eyes to see who it was, and the blood cascading down her cheek told him enough. In his mind, Ron cheered her on. But he also wondered why she never told anyone. Was she that scared? But it really didn't make any sense. Josie was staying in the most dangerous place, and she didn't even care. Could it be…

"Josie! Stop!" The killer pushed her off in tears.

"OH! Look who's saying stop NOW!" Josie was also crying as she punched the killer. "You know, all you had to do was ASK!" She screamed.

The killer didn't even defend herself, just cried.

"And you know what? I'm so SICK of pretending! You say, 'here, it's safe here!' but then you kill people that just might figure out about us. FOR NO REASON! How many people suffered because of you?"

The killer's face was a bruised mess.

"But here, every night , we could've, we DID…" She whimpered. "And I know you enjoyed it. Why else did you keep pretending?"

Josie ignored this.

"Why don't you just stop it then? Hmm? Everyone who might've found out, you just KILLED!!! You think NO ONE would've noticed?"

"The stupid boy… it wasn't my fault! We could've been so happy!"

Here, Josie stopped punching and look hard at the killer.

"No. I could've been happy with Severus. And Hannah could've been happy with Justin. And Cho could've had a happy life. Sybill didn't even talk to you! And Anna, she knew, didn't she?"

"Y-yes." Her face was a bruised mess. And then she heaved a big sob. "I HAD to Josie! You know she would've told my husband! And he would've gone and killed me anyway! Oh please Josie…"

"No." Josie got up from her position and looked carefully at Ron. She walked over to him and took a knife from under her matress.

"Gihg." Ron had a look of fear in his eyes.

"And you. You think you're so smart. You just ruined EVERYTHING!" She thrust the knife into his eye as Ron cried about in absolute horror.

Josie dug in as deep as she could and carved out, piece by piece, his left eye. Ron's retina fell softly to the floor as the other parts of his eye looked like a bloodied egg mess scattered across his lap.

Ron heaved on last breath and fell limp. Josie looked at him in disgust, picked up the pieces of his eye and smeared them back in.

"Now you see." She whispered. "But no one else ever will."

She then took the same knife and walked over to the killer.

"You ate Malfoy to be stronger for me. You killed everyone just so we could be together. But you know what you also did?"

The killer whimpered again and tried to back away. Josie pinned her against the wall in anger.

"You broke my heart. Twice. And now, I will do the same to yours." She stabbed the knife deep into the killer's heart. And then, the next second, pulled it out. An explosion of blood filled the room. Staining Josie's hospital gown.

The Astronomy teacher sat down and looked at her handiwork. No one would come by for hours. So she took a look at the killer and took off the black robe. Behind that was a white one partially reeking of soaked blood. A name pin was on it. Josie took it off and gazed at the calligraphy. Finally, she got up, kissed it, and let it drop. The name Chloe Pomfrey fell just like all of her dreams, down down down onto the lush Hogwarts grass.

Josie looked down at it and cried for her lover. Then she looked at the poor boy she had killed out of spite. And then she looked at herself. She was damp with redness, and the knife was still in her hand.

And then, with no warning, she sliced it down with horror at her own wrist. The red volcanoe of blood spurted all around her. Josie felt dizzy and sick as she watched the fluids of her body pour out like a fountain from her. Except this fountain wasn't a cycle. It was a flood.

In a few minutes, Josie leaned her head back against the wall and thought of Severus. The river of cascading blood ran it's way onto Ron's thumb, entangling them all.

Yes I know I have a lot to explain, but I will do all of that in the next chapter! And thank you PigwidgeonChick for reviewing a lot! I will make the final chapter worth everyone's while!
