"We have so much homework! How will we possibly get done before midnight?" Marissa complained.

"I'm already done." Responded Ursedonah in a bored voice. "Hey Kristie, let's go take care of that Ravenclaw girl."

"Umm… you go. I have a lot of work left to do."

"I'll do it for you."

"Its okay. I'll do it."

"Don't tell me you're chickening out!"

"I won't"

"What a wuss! Oh well… I'll go by myself, but I'm gonna take the torture route if you don't come."

"Okay, okay! I'll come"

"Wait, I want to change into more suitable and intimidating attire." Ursedonah said slyly.

"Okay…"

Ursedonah went up and when she came back to the common room, she was wearing something that made Kristie gasp.

"Holy shit! That's a death eater uniform!"

"Yeah, and look." She rolled up her sleeve revealing the image of a skull with a snake coming out of its month. It was the dark mark. "Don't worry. Its not really burnt on. I just drew it to freak you out." Ursedonah explained.

"Then you did a pretty good job." Kristie replied breathing heavily.

"Lets go." Ursedonah commanded.

They approached the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room.

"How did you know where the entrance was?" Kristie asked when they came to a halt.

"I asked"

"And they told you!?" Kristie asked with much surprise.

"No, I read their mind." Ursedonah responded with impatience. "Okay, the password is 'knowledgeable frog,' I'm gonna turn into a snake, you say the password, and wait here."

"Okay." Kristie said as Ursedonah transformed, "Umm. Knowledgeable frog."

The portrait of the birds flew open. Ursedonah slithered in. It didn't take too long to find Becky. She was reading in her room.

"Imperio." Ursedonah whispered, having changed back to normal form. Quickly, she turned back to snake form. Becky followed with a blank expression. They left the common room and entered an empty classroom. Kristie followed cautiously. "Obliviate!" Ursedonah whispered with a lazy wave of her wand. She lifted the Imperious Curse and asked, "What is my name?"

Becky narrowed her eyes and then widened them. "Ursedonah," she responded. Ursedonah didn't know that she too could read minds. She laughed her evil laugh so full of cruel intent that Kristie's stomach churned. "Mua ha ha ha ha!"

"No." Kristie said for she knew why Ursedonah laughed.

Ursedonah raised her wand slowly and pointed it at Becky. "Imperio!" she said with great delight. They all walked into the Chamber.

"Why are we here?" Kristie asked nervously.

"So nobody will hear her scream." Ursedonah responded simply.

"Don't go through with this!" Kristie pleaded.

"I guess I miss judged you."

"What?"

"You aren't as evil as I thought. Well actually… make that hoped. Maybe you can learn. Here's your first lesson: NEVER talk back to your superiors! Crucio!"

It was pain beyond anything Kristie had ever felt. It seemed as if every bone in her body was burning. She screamed so loudly that she wouldn't be surprised if the whole world heard. In a few seconds that seemed like hours, it was over.

"That was just a taster. It was a weak one at that. Get in my way again, and I won't be as merciful."

"I have a solution." Kristie said trying to stop shaking and catch her breath, "put her under the Imperious Curse."

"That's crazy. So crazy that it just might work." Ursedonah replied with a smirk.

"You made a funny." Kristie said in a joking voice.

"Crucio! Lesson two. I don't 'make funnies' and never joke around me."
