Chapter 5
Killing was a hard task when a poltergeist was constantly around. Jason figured he might as well give Peeves something interesting to talk about. Sometime during the night, when Jason was stalking the halls with Peeves close behind, Jason spotted Professor McGonagall who was the head of Gryffindor house. This would surely give Peeves something fun to talk about. The Professor had just finished assigning detentions to students who were out past curfew.
Peeves may not have been tangible, but the chains he had been dangling around in an attempt to annoy Jason sure were. When Peeves had finished doing his floating laps around Jason and stopped right in front of him, Jason snatched one of the chains from Peeves and began making his way to McGonagall.
"Hey you fucker those are mine! Give them back!" howled Peeves.
Professor McGonagall turned to see what Peeves was screaming about just in time to see a fist wrapped in chain collide into her jaw. Blood and teeth spattered across the castle wall. McGonagall twisted at the impact and slammed face first into the brick floor with a bone crushing thud. There wasn't anytime for the Professor to react, by the time she hit the floor Jason was straddling her back tying her neck and feet at opposite ends with the chain. Jason grabbed the chain and began to drag it up into the Gryffindor common room.
McGonagall's arms flailed trying to get to her wand. Her arm's finally reached the place where she kept it but the wand was missing. Peeves appeared in front of her face holding the wand in his hand smiling with utter delight. McGonagall would have screamed or scolded Peeves for this but she couldn't talk with the chains so tightly around her neck.
The fat lady in the portrait was sleeping when Jason had finally finished dragging McGonagall to the Gryffindor commons. Jason knew that the entrance was password protected, that's one thing he learned since coming here along with the layout of the castle. Jason heaved the Professor up by the chain and threw her at the painting with all his might. Professor McGonagall simply smacked into the painting and fell to the ground.
"Hahahahahahaha you gotta be smarter than that ol' buddy" said Peeves as he flew through the wall and pushed the painting open from the other side.
A dog brushed past Jason as he bent over to collect the Professor.
Jason had just finished tying the Professor in the fire place when screams erupted from the boy's sleeping quarters. He didn't want to be interrupted, so Jason made his way where the screams had come from at full pace. Jason saw a man standing over a red-headed boy with a knife. The man noticed Jason enter and quickly transformed into a dog, the dog ran at Jason in an attempt to get by. Jason kicked the mutt in the face as it drew nearer. The dog yipped and flew back. The dog regained its balance and began growling while it assumed an attack position. The dog pounced at Jason's chest but he caught the dog by the neck and let it dangle in the air as it writhed for air. Jason made his way to the window with dog in hand, and tossed the mutt out of the 30 something story room.
All of the boys were awake now with the exception of one who had a scar on his forehead. They were standing around Jason in awe and amazement. The red-headed boy had picked up the knife the dog dropped and his gaze was shifting between Jason and the knife. Jason made his way over to the boy and extended his arm, the boy placed the knife into Jason's hand...
