"Ah... you haven't moved much." The young man said, stepping into the room. Then he laughed... she was still tied to her bed. "I hope you don't mind, I cooked myself some breakfast. I would have made you some too but I thought you might try to bite my hand off." He smirked and looked at his arm. There was a scar there that looked like someone scratched him very hard. Jade did that in the struggle the night before.

Jade glared at the man; he was only in his boxers and she noticed a funny tattoo on his forearm of a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth. The man noticed her staring at it.

What? Its called a tattoo, you have one on your back anyhow, of a dragon." He looked around her room.

"Oh, a Gryffindor, how unfortunate." He said, looking at her Gryffindor tie, which was over her closet door. "They always were a weak lot."

Jade kicked the man hard; he was finally standing in her range. He yelled in pain and Jade smiled. Wandless, with no hands, she still managed to not be completely useless.

Sneering the man took off his boxers and climbed on top of her again. Jade struggled harder than before. 'Not again, oh God please, not again!'

"Oh, don't pretend you don't want me to do this to you. I know you enjoyed every minute of it last time.'

Jade shook the horrible memory from her and concentrated on the lecture McGonagal was giving everyone. Jade held her head high with pride; she had gone through a horrible experience and survived. And now that she knew who did it to her, she was going to get even. She rubbed her left shoulder. Jade made a promise to herself, and she kept in there as a reminder.

Sirius rolled out of bed. Who ever made James Potter captain of the Quidditch team was mad! He was having them practice every single morning before classes and had imposed a 9:00 p.m. curfew on the team so that they would be well rested and not get sick. He was also forcing them to take vitamins every day.

This simple task turned out to be very unpleasant for Jade as she had always had trouble with swallowing pills. So every morning, Jade was found with six vitamins in a glass of water, stirring it with a spoon until they dissolved.

Though the workload was now ridiculously high, the Seventh year Gryffindors found time to go to Hogsmede in late October. Everyone was in the Three Broomsticks drinking Butterbeer and Sherry, laughing as they recalled a few of their best pranks.

Later on Sirius and Jade walked around alone, hand in hand. The weather was, for once, beautiful and Jade started to take off her zip-up sweater when she remembered something, and put it back on.

Sirius got a glimpse of something odd looking on Jade's left arm. She had started taking off her sweater and she had a t-shirt on underneath.

He thought it looked like a tattoo but he didn't get a good look at it because she quickly changed her mind, and put her sweater back on.

What's on your arm?" he asked.

"Hmm... oh- nothing. Just a new tattoo, nothing exciting." Jade looked the other way, fiddling with one of her earrings.

"Well let's see it." Sirius said. He always thought Jade was so cool for liking piercing and tattoos but you have to stop somewhere.

Looking uneasy, Jade took off her sweater and pushed back her short sleeve onto her shoulder. There, in black ink, said:

I'm going to watch him suffer

I'm going to watch him scream in pain

I'm going to take away everything he has

I'm going to smile as he dies and then

I'm going to laugh when I see his grave

"What's this?" Sirius asked.

"A promise I made to myself." Jade answered, pulling down her sleeve and throwing her sweater back on.

"Look," Sirius said, looking into her eyes. "I know the bastard deserves to die but you don't need to go parading the fact that you're out to kill him around on your arm!"

Jade took a step back from him, feeling confronted.

"I wanted to parade it!" she shoot back. Then she turned around and ran quickly away.

Jade turned a corner, ran into a store and went to the back. Then, she closed her eyes and transformed herself into an old woman with a cane. She cane out of the store a second later, hobbling.

'Sirius you're such an ass! What have you done?' Sirius thought as Jade turned a corner. He ran after her but when he turned the corner she had disappeared. He couldn't believe it! How'd she get away so fast? Out of the corner of his eye he saw an old woman with a cane come out of an antique shop. There were hardly any people around here. Then he realized that one of these people was Jade in disguise. He cursed under his breath and headed back to the main street. He would have to wait until later to apologize to Jade.

Jade went to the edge of Hogsmede as the old woman and then transformed back to herself. She went to her dormitory and put her things on her bed, feeling exhausted.

For once Sirius didn't understand her. She needed to remind herself everyday to be strong, and that she was going to make Luscious Malfoy pay. He was going to pay if it took her whole life to do it.
