Harry left with Luna and Jade through a corner, apparently the way out of the room was different every time so the Carrows wouldn't know how to get in, problem was they never knew either where they were going to end up when they left the room.
That time, they were somewhere on the fifth floor. The three of them got under the Invisibility Cloak. Harry got out the Marauder's Map and thanks to it they didn't bump into Filch. Even when Harry's mind was busy thinking about the diadem and Voldemort and trying to hurry up, for a moment his eyes couldn't look away from the little name just under his. He still hadn't gotten used to, and probably could never get used to reading Jade Malfoy instead of Jade Lias.
They soon found a circular staircase. Neither Harry nor Jade had been there before. Finally, at the top, they reached a door without a handle and no keyhole, only a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. Luna reached out, she knocked once. Then the beak of the eagle opened and it spoked.
"Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?"
"What do you think?" Luna asked them.
"Are you serious? Isn't there like just a password?" Jade asked.
"No... You've got to answer a question."
"What if you get it wrong?" Harry asked.
"Well, you have to wait for somebody who gets it right and that way you learn."
"Well, I'm glad I wasn't in Ravenclaw," Jade said and Harry nodded.
"Do you know the answer, Luna? We don't really have time to wait for somebody that could figure it out."
"I think the answer is that a circle has no beginning."
"Well reasoned," the voice said and the door swung open.
"How does that even make sense? I mean, that can't be the answer, can it?" Jade whispered to Harry, who just shrugged.
"I'm glad that she got it right, though," Harry muttered.
The Ravenclaw common room, which was now completely deserted, was circular and wide; it had arched windows and tall walls. Blue and bronze silks adorned the room. They had tables and chairs and bookcases like Gryffindor and Slytherin, except for the tall statue of white marble of Rowena Ravenclaw, that stood opposite the door.
As they got closer, both of them realised the diadem didn't look like the one Fleur had worn at her wedding, like Jade had been imagining it in her mind. There were tiny words etched into it. Harry actually stepped out from under the Cloak and got even closer to be able to read the words.
"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
"Which makes you pretty skint, witless," a voice said, making them all jump.
Before any of them could react, Alecto Carrow had pressed her fingers to the skull branded on her arm and they froze knowing what it meant. As soon as she did it, Harry's scar burnt, his hand went straight to touch it and Jade just knew what that meant. Jade put her arms around Harry to not let him fall to the ground but she didn't take her eyes off of Alecto.
"Isn't the sweet Lias back? I missed you," she said and laughed.
Jade didn't have time to answer as Luna had stunned her and she hit the glass hard. Harry was back with them then, the pain had stopped. All that noise woke up the other students. The three of them got under the Cloak again.
The students went down to the common room and they seemed pleased to see Alecto passed out on the floor but it didn't take long to hear that voice that came from the door again.
"Where do vanished objects go?"
"Open the door!" Jade recognized it as Amycus and she got her wand ready. "Alecto! If he comes and we haven't got Potter... Do you want to go the same way as the Malfyos?" At that Jade froze. "Answer me! You! Get Flitwich to open the door now!"
"But isn't your sister in there?" McGonagall asked and Harry and Jade felt a bit relieved. "He let her in earlier."
"She isn't answering! You open it! Do it!"
By her cold tone of voice, McGonagall didn't seem pleased but she knocked and the door asked the same question. Jade didn't have a clue and couldn't be bothered at the moment.
"Into non-being, which is to say, everything."
"Nicely phrased."
The Ravenclaws sprinted for the stairs as they heard the door being opened. Amycus rushed inside and at once knelt next to his sister, he yelled out of fury.
"What have they done? I'll Cruciate the lot of them!" He yelled but his eyes showed fear not fury. "We haven't got Potter... and they killed her."
"She's only Stunned, she'll be perfect."
"No, she wont! Not after the Dark Lord gets hold of her! He thinks we've got Potter."
"Got Potter?" McGonagall asked sharply.
"He told us to send for him if we caught him, that he might try to get inside Ravenclaw Tower," Amycus exclaimed as he paced the room, almost bumping into them. "We can push it off on the kids. They ambushed her, they forced her to press her Mark and it was a false alarm. We'll say that. He can punish them."
"You are not going to pass off your many ineptitudes on the students. I shall not permit it!"
Amycus walked to her, got too close but McGonagall didn't back away and instead looked at him with a disgusted expression on her face. He yelled more at her and then actually spat in her face.
Jade couldn't permit that. She pulled the Cloak off and with her wand raised, she looked directly at Amycus. He was too shocked he didn't do anything.
"Big mistake!" She exclaimed, making both of them look at her. "Crucio!"
Jade didn't think, didn't plan it. Just did it. Second time around it seemed easier and she was actually enjoying it. Amycus was moving around like a leech, screaming out in pain but Jade wasn't stopping it, it was like she was in a trance. Harry actually had to whisper in her ear that it was enough. But when she didn't respond, Harry put his hand on top of hers and lowered her hand, making the spell break.
She remembered then, her aunt's words, 'you've got to mean it.' and she did mean it, and this time unlike last time, Amycus was unable to break the curse. She sort of understood how easily it was to get a little overboard like her family had done to the Longbottoms and wondered how her father could balance it and stop and know the limits when he used it on her.
"Lias! Potter! That was so foolish!"
"But I couldn't allow that, Professor!" Jade exclaimed.
"That was a good gesture but foolish!"
"Professor," Harry interrupted, it was then when Luna also revealed herself.. "He's on the way here. I need to do something. We do. Do you know where the diadem of Ravenclaw is?"
"Of course not! It's been lost for centuries!" Then they turned to look at Amycus who was trying to get up and McGongall did something they never thought she would do. "Imperio."
Amycus got up, walked to his sister, got her wand and then handed it to McGongall along with his. Then lay down next to Alecto. Then McGongall tied them up with a spell.
"We shall secure the school while you search for this object," McGongall said to them. "We must alert the other Heads of House. But we must do something about Snape."
She then casted a Patronus. The Silver cat ran ahead while the four of them hurried back down. She casted two more on the way, one went straight down and one to the left.
Then two floors down, they heard steps. Harry was about to take out his map to check but he wasn't quick enough.
"Who's there?"
"It is me."
They could recognize that voice anywhere. Jade had to put an arm on Harry's bicep to stop him from doing anything stupid. He was full of rage, Jade, not so much. Luckily the three of them were under the Cloak and he couldn't see them.
"I was under the impression that Alecto had apprehended an intruder," Snape said.
"What gave you that impression?"
He quickly gazed to his left arm, meaning he knew because of the Dark Mark. It seemed McGongall also saw that tiny movement of his dark eyes. Then they started discussing why McGonagall was up there.
Jade felt like reading his mind at the moment but she knew that at the slightest attempt he would know she was there and suspect she was with Harry and she didn't want to give themselves away.
"Have you seen Harry Potter, Minerva? Because if you have, I must insist..."
But McGonagall didn't even let him finish the sentence. She was so quick, the three of them were astonished, Snape was quick enough though, to cast a shield Charm. But she kept at it, without break. Snape was having a hard time defending himself.
Then from the fire of a torch, McGonagall turned and solidified it into daggers. Snape barely avoided them and Jade let out a small scream but Harry covered her mouth quickly. They no longer were under the Cloak, as they actually had to get out of the way to not be hit by those fire daggers and the Cloak slipped from them during that movement.
"Minerva! No! You'll do more murder at Hogwarts!" Flitwich squealed.
Flitwich bewitched a suit of armour so it could catch Snape but he got free of it and then it went towards them. Luna and Jade dived one way and Harry the other.
When they recovered, they saw Snape running. McGonagall, Flitwich and Sprout were chasing after him and then he jumped out the window. Jade stood up quickly, horrified. Flashbacks of what happened to Dumbledore got into her mind.
"Coward!" McGonagall repeated over and over again.
"Is he dead?" Jade asked, concerned, trying to look out of the window, she didn't see a body on the ground but she did see a shadow flying away.
"No, Miss Lias. He seems to have learned a few tricks from his master."
It was then when Slughorn finally joined them. Like the other teachers, he also was wearing his pyjamas and looked like he had just woken up.
"He's at the cave," Harry whispered to Jade as he once again felt his scar burn. "He's almost reached where the locket must be."
McGonagall quickly explained to the other teachers what was going on and discussed what to do with the students. They were going to meet in the Great Hall. The four of them left to get their students and evacuate the underage ones. Harry, Luna and Jade followed McGonagall.
"He didn't fight back," Jade pointed out, loud enough for everybody to listen. "Snape."
"Because he couldn't."
"No. He could have. If he really wanted to harm any of us, he could have. He didn't shoot a single curse at any of us."
"Right... I don't have time for this, Jade. He might be good in the other reality but not here and we need to concentrate on the diadem."
As they ran back to the Room of Requirement, they heard McGonagall doing spells to protect the school, spells they had never heard before.
Once there, they walked into a very crowded room. They saw Oliver Wood, Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, Fleur, Bill, Mr. and Mrs Weasley, Kingsley. Lupin and to Jade's surprise she saw Cassius and his parents.
They heard a roar and the castle's walls trembled a bit. It was then when the crowd talked quickly and divided into groups as they planned the strategy. The people were starting to leave in groups when another guy joined.
"Am I too late?" he asked.
As surprised as Jade was to see Cassius there, every Weasley was feeling like that when they saw Percy. While they exchanged some words with him, Jade quickly approached Cass. His parents had already left with their respectives groups.
"I hoped you were okay but I'm pleased to finally know you are," he told her. "And don't worry about my dad. He was a Death Eater but after what happened with you and Lexion he's realised the damage he can do to his own family and knows it's not right. He joined the Order soon after our wedding, and so has my mother."
"I'm glad to hear," Jade choked out. For a reason she felt like crying when she was reminded of her brother and she was also overwhelmed with joy, knowing three people close to her had chosen the right path. "I'm sorry about what happened."
"You shouldn't be. They used Imperio on both of us. No one should get married that way, I'm actually relieved they rescued you. So no hard feelings."
"I didn't want things to end that way."
"I didn't want things to start that way," Cassius said and then he cracked a smile and offered a hand to Jade. "Friends?"
"Yeah..." Jade said as she took his hand and shook it. "Always."
"Good. Gotta go now but I'm happy to see you Jade. You look good and please take care of yourself. Your family is out there and you might run into them and they won't hesitate to kill you and you shouldn't either," Cass told her and Jade nodded as she slowly processed that hard truth. "Don't get killed, Jade."
Cass left with Kingsley and Angelina Johnson. That left only some of the Weasleys and Harry. Granger and Ron weren't among the crowd anymore.
"I'll go down to the Dungeons again," Jade told Harry. "You go back to Ravenclaw common room or whatever you need to do. You can find me with the Map, right?"
"Jade... I'd prefer it if we stick together."
"We'll just lose time. Let's hurry while we can and if we bump into each other, we stick together, then."
Before Harry could say something else, Jade ran out of the Room of Requirement. This time she ended up on the third floor. She knew she no longer was invisible and she was alone so she must be extra careful.
She had the advantage of being related to some of the worst Death Eaters, so if anything happened, other Death Eaters would at least hesitate to attack her and that would give her leverage and people of Hogwarts knew she was on their side so they wouldn't attack her. She had basically become their role model when she was still in school, being the first to stand against the Carrows and continued to do so and defend other students, no matter their houses or status.
She got into the Slytherin common room, a second-year boy had given her the password, and found it almost empty. Channel was there, trying to look acceptable before going out, apparently, she needed to do a special make-up for war.
"Have you seen Draco?"
"Oh, Jade! Wow! Haven't seen you around... eh, yeah, I think he left already with the rest of our house."
Jade felt relieved to know he was alive and well. She could only assume he came back to Hogwarts after what happened and the only people that were punished badly were his parents, Bellatrix and Fenrir.
Jade didn't bother to reply, she quickly ran all over the common room and dormitories, especially the boys dorms. She knew something like that couldn't be lying around so she looked on the walls, windows, every place she could have missed before, maybe she could find a secret little space in a wall or even under the floor.
There, alone, Jade heard a voice that made her jump and look everywhere around her. She was supposed to be alone.
"I know that you are preparing to fight." She heard a cold voice that seemed to come from the walls. "I do not want to spill magical blood." A long silence followed. Jade realised she was frozen in her spot. Her heart was beating fast. "Give me Harry Potter and none will be harmed. Give me Harry Potter and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter and you will be rewarded. You have until midnight."
Jade wasn't sure what time it was but she knew they didn't have long. It was around 21:00 when they left Leo behind with Aberforth. At the most they had two hours.
After making sure there was nothing in the common room and the dorms and bathrooms, and even in Slughorn's office, Jade ran all the way up to the headmaster's office, which was open, oddly enough, she didn't need a password or anything. On her way there she saw the chaos that the school had become even when Death Eaters hadn't actually gotten inside. People running everywhere, enchanted armours trying to help. Mr. Filch leading the underage students out of Hogwarts.
She opened the door of the office and ran inside. Yes, it might be stupid to hide an object in the office of the only person you feared, but that had been the only place she hadn't searched.
She looked everywhere, she came across objects that she had never seen before and had no idea what they were or what was their function and she was aware that all the paintings were looking at her and some were gossiping about her.
"It's not here."
Jade stopped and turned to look at Dumbledore's portrait. He seemed a bit concerned but he wasn't alarmed or panicked.
"I looked for it here as well," Dumbledore admitted.
"But it's in Hogwarts and I couldn't find it. I even searched in the Chamber of Secrets. There was nothing in there."
She kept it to herself but she also looked in lots of places in the Forbidden Forest in her Owl form, that way she could be a bit safer in there and at the same time, be faster and her sight while being an owl was so much better at night.
"Voldemort did discover many secrets of Hogwarts, the Chamber of Secrets being one," Dumbledore said. "But I'd doubt the Horcrux to be there. There aren't many places where it can be and my office isn't one of them. That would be extremely foolish and Tom Riddle wasn't a fool, he was actually very bright."
"I don't think this is your office anymore. Do you know that McGonagall thinks Snape is a coward?" Jade snapped as she opened a drawer from Snape's desk. It wasn't the time to discuss it but she didn't know if she would have another time to talk with Dumbledore. So while she talked, she kept looking. "He escaped after she attacked him. I don't think he deserved that or all of what you put him through. Everyone thinks he is a traitor and has always been."
"It was necessary," he said simply.
"So you aren't even sorry about that," Jade muttered. "Or anything else to be honest. You just play with people's lives as if we don't matter. Aberforth told us what you did to your family. To him. To your sister."
"There are things Aberforth doesn't know," Dumbledore said calmly.
"Of course he doesn't! You only tell people enough so they can agree to do whatever you want them to do but you leave out important details knowing very well we wouldn't accept that madness if we had been told the whole story!" Jade exclaimed angrily, she even stopped her search for a bit to glare at Dumbledore. "You don't realise you ruin people's lives or maybe you do and you just don't care."
"Snape made some wrong choices…"
"And did I? I was only a kid when you changed everything in my life. What about Ron? Or Luna? What did they do that they deserved their lives to be ruined?"
"I'm sorry, Jade, I'm a bit confused, what do you mean?"
Jade ignored Dumbledore's question as she didn't want to explode and tell him about the prophecy and Daryl, so she focused on her search again and opened the last drawer with a spell because it was locked and found a small envelope. She found it curious, as the colour and texture were different to the others and to her surprise, in the middle of it, it was written "Jade Lestrange". She took it, despite Dumbledore advising her not to.
"I've got to go now, I need to find a Horcrux."
Jade wanted to keep arguing with Dumbledore. She was angry. She had been angry for a long time but tonight wasn't the night. She walked down the steps and actually bumped into Harry and to her surprise Granger and Ron were with him. They didn't seem surprised at all to see her, Harry had the map on his hands so she realised they had been looking for her.
"I know where it is," he said simply, making her forget about the reasons why she was so angry at a dead man.
"How? Where?"
"When Tom Riddle came asking for a job, he brought the Horcrux with him and didn't have a lot of time to hide it. So, it must be either a floor up or down or on this floor. He came to talk to Dumbledore and then hid it," Harry told her as they started to walk.
They kept a steady pace as Harry briefly explained to Jade he had seen the memory of when he came to ask Dumbledore for the Dark Arts teaching position and Dumbledore didn't give it to him. That was the time when he came and hid the Horcrux in Hogwarts.
"But that leaves three entire floors to look and search," Jade said. "We don't have enough time."
"Not exactly. Last year when I cursed Malfoy, I'm sure you remember that, I knew I had to get rid of the potions book. And I had to make sure no one could easily find it. I remember that when I did it, I found a tiara, and I don't know why but I actually put it on the head of a statue of a warlock. I put a wig on its head and then the tiara on top of the wig... I guess as a joke."
"Where is that?" Jade asked but as they approached a room, she suddenly knew where but at the same time she wasn't sure where exactly.
"You'll see," he said and then talked to Tonks, who was outside the room. "Is everyone out of there?"
"I was the last one to leave, so yes," she said. "Oh, and I have a message for either of you," Tonks said looking at Jade and Harry. "Leo is with my mother and Teddy. Aberforth came to fight so he asked me to take the kid to my mum's, knowing she was already babysitting my kid."
Jade and Harry looked at each other. They didn't know if that was the best option or not, but at least he was further away from Hogwarts. They thanked her for taking him there even when she had no idea who Leo was and after a little bit of more talking, Tonks left to find Lupin. Ginny, who was also there, left with Tonks as she wasn't allowed to be alone because she was underage and she was better off with Tonks than with them.
When they left, Harry faced the wall that led into the Room of Requirement, which was the place Ginny and Tonks were guarding. He closed his eyes and after he walked past three times, a door materialised right in front of them.
Harry opened the door and the four of them walked in, after the door was closed all the noise from the battle died out instantly. Jade looked around, it wasn't the same room they had walked out of only an hour or so ago, but she knew she had been there before. The room was huge. It had very tall walls but no windows, and there were many objects piled up in different places.
"Where are we?" Ron asked.
"The room of hidden things," Jade answered as they kept walking, checking the place. Harry was confused and surprised, wondering how she knew. Jade had been there before but didn't explain anything to them and no one really asked.
"Right, let's split up. Look for a stone bust of an old man wearing a wig and a tiara. It's on top of a cupboard."
The four of them took four different paths, Jade stopped for a moment as she looked at the Vanishing Cabinet she had helped Draco to fix last year. That's why she knew where they were. She had spent weeks in that room when Draco was cursed and unable to carry out his mission.
Jade continued to walk further, trying to not forget her way back. And as she did she remembered Harry's words from only a few minutes ago. He hid the book after he cursed Draco and she had been there after that event. She had been in the same room, probably only inches away from the Horcrux and she hadn't even known. She had probably seen it before and completely ignored it, passed it as any other ordinary object.
It was incredible the amount of things that were in the room, all the things that people had wanted to get rid of throughout several centuries.
Jade had picked a crown, thinking it was the diadem, but it didn't have letters engraved on it, then she heard several objects falling not too far from her and a scream. She let go of the crown, knowing it wasn't the Horcrux and hurried back, she turned to the left and then kept walking down the path and then she heard a familiar voice that made her stop.
"No! Don't!"
"I don't take your orders no more, Draco! You and your dad are finished," Crabbe exclaimed. "Crucio!"
"Stop!" Draco shouted.
Jade started running then, Draco was there and apparently he was fine but Harry didn't seem to be doing so fine. Things got worse when Jade heard the killing curse and found that hundreds of objects were blocking her way.
"Don't kill him! Don't!"
The three of them kept speaking, for some reason Jade's brain wasn't working, she knew the spell to open a way through but she couldn't think of the right spell at that exact time.
"Where's Jade?" she heard Draco asking.
"Why would I know?"
"She left with Weasley and he is here with you," Draco muttered, almost in a pleading tone. "Just tell me if she is alright."
"Shut up! It doesn't matter. Crucio!" Crabbe shouted.
"NO!"
Jade gave up, she ran back and then turned another corner as she couldn't think of the right spell and then during that time, something had happened but she didn't know what. She heard a roaring blowing noise to her left and then saw Ron and Goyle running... If Goyle was running, it was bad.
Jade then finally saw Draco, he was on her right, she looked into his eyes and felt relieved and happy to see him. Their eye contact lasted less than a second but it seemed like hours. She didn't have time, though. She started running too, she was ahead of Ron and Goyle, so now it was the three of them running towards Harry, Draco, Hermione and Crabbe.
"Like it hot, scum?" Crabbed shouted with an evil laugh.
Jade turned and saw abnormally big flames that were actually pursuing them, as if they were alive. Crabbe apparently didn't have control of the curse and that was really bad. Only he could control his own curse.
They all ran in different ways and Jade somehow ended up with Draco and Goyle. She was glad but it wouldn't matter. They could be dead in seconds. They used every water spell they knew but it helped little, if anything at all.
Now the flames were transforming into beasts. Especifically serpents and dragons and no matter where they went, the flames followed them. A dragon struck them and Jade went to her left while Draco and Goyle went right.
At least five dragons and two serpents were following Jade. The heat was making her sweat a lot and making her really tired and out of breath and that wasn't good. Right when her pace was getting slower, she reunited with Harry, Ron and Granger.
They all did spells to stop the flames for a bit and it was then when Ron found three broomsticks. Ron got on one, Harry on the oldest broom and Jade on the last one. Granger was riding with her. She was holding on to Jade so tightly that Jade didn't know if she was going to faint from lack of oxygen or from the heat.
Jade didn't care much about the flames, about the odds of dying, she wouldn't leave without Draco and she was glad that Harry couldn't leave without at least trying to save him, his conscience wouldn't let him leave them. Harry spotted them first. They were climbing a tower of several desks piled up that looked like they were going to give in and fall with Goyle's weight at any moment.
"If we die for them, I'll kill you, Harry!" Ron shouted.
The three of them tried to help the other two but the first try was in vain. The second however, was better. Ron got Goyle on his broomstick. Harry and Jade kept trying to help Draco but his hand was so sweaty that it slipped from their grip.
At last, Harry was able to hold on to Draco and he managed to get on the broom. They turned to leave now that they had the others. Ron was first, and then Harry, so Draco kept glancing behind himself to check on Jade, who was really lacking some air and Granger wasn't loosing her hold on her.
"What are you doing?" Draco screamed.
Harry had dived towards the flames and at first Jade didn't know why but then she saw the discoloured tiara in his hand. She had completely forgotten about it. Harry had luckily just missed a huge serpent trying to swallow him. Both were okay.
Granger finally let go of Jade for a bit to open the door with a spell just in time for all of them to fly through it. They were all going so fast that they collided with the wall in front of the Room of Requirement.
Jade had smashed into the wall at a quick pace, fallen from the broom, rolled around and finally landed on her stomach, with Goyle on top of her. That was the worst part.
"Get off of her!" Draco shouted as he pushed Goyle to the side, he was unconscious. He helped Jade up and hugged her so tightly that Jade thought he had broken a few ribs but maybe the collision and the fall did that and she was just sore. Luckily, Granger had closed the door and the flames had stayed inside the room and they had managed to get out just on time.
The rest were still on the floor, whining and trying to sort of recover from the collision, when Draco kissed Jade. She instantly kissed back.
"I'm glad you are fine," she said quickly when she pulled away. "I thought You-Know-Who had tortured you or killed you."
"No, I'm fine," Draco said quickly as he embraced her and kissed the top of her head.
"Do you reckon it'll still work after that fire?" Ron asked as he stood up but no one could really answer that question.
It was then when Jade finally processed that Crabbe wasn't there. He sort of deserved it for doing something as stupid but Jade was never happy about someone's death.
"What's that?" Ron asked.
Jade, still in Draco's arm, saw the diadem in Harry's hand. It was a little blackened with soot and she could read the words 'Wit Beyond measure is man's greatest treasure'. A substance similar to blood, it was dark and tarry, was leaking from the diadem. The object broke in two and they all heard a distant scream of pain that came from the Horcrux. That apparently was too much for Goyle, who had woken up by then, he ran away as fast as he could but Draco stayed.
"Cursed fire," Jade said, walking forward to examine the diadem, breaking the embrace. "It's very dangerous and difficult to control but it's one of the few ways of destroying Horcruxes."
"So, we are done with that one then?" Ron asked and Harry nodded.
Then Harry reached inside his pocket and took out the goblet and with a deep breath handed it to Jade, who looked at him weird without taking it.
"Destroy it, Ron's got a basilisk fang."
"You do it."
"No. I feel like it must be you. You have been on this mission with us since the beginning, helped us when you shouldn't have to and this one was found in your family's vault. You have been affected by You-Know-Who too, in different ways to us though, but he has also hurt you. Get rid of it yourself. Seems right."
With hesitation, Jade nodded and took the Goblet in her hands and immediately she felt a dark presence for it. She could hear like a hissing sound coming from it and she could almost swear the Goblet was vibrating in her hands. Then she took the fang from Ron and the vibration and hissing intensified, it could sense the danger, apparently. She remembered how bad it was when Ron tried to destroy the Locket. So she didn't hesitate, she was actually scared of what this object could do or say or show her, so she quickly put it on the floor, thought about all the pain Voldemort had caused her and her family, especially when her brother joined him and with a fast, strong and accurate strike, she stabbed the object.
Jade thought it would be hard and solid but at first it felt like she was stabbing a person. She could actually feel when the fang penetrated the object, as if it was skin and muscles, and then whatever lived inside of it, pushed her backwards making her fall on her back a few feet away and a second piercing cry of pain was heard.
