One week passes as Jared continues to hear Zane in his head throughout the day. The constant taunting from within his head worsens his condition and sanity as the days progress. Hermione can only stand by and watch crying herself to sleep at night trying to figure out how she can help him. Eve worries as well talking to Draco about it during the last time they met together. Draco shrugs it off not even giving a second thought about helping his new rival. Abby and Ron grow closer as they try to help Hermione figure what is going on. Jared stands in the cross fire in a battle to keep his sanity as the dreams worsen and his body burns worse weakening his more than ever.
Hermione rushes into Potions Class only seconds away from being late. She takes her usual spot next to Jared as the Professor Snape begins to teach. Hermione smiles brushing Jared's hand staring at him with concern. Jared puts a fake smile on as Hermione sees through his mask . Jared looks at the board like a zombie out of life and hope as Hermione begins to lightly rubs his hand. So Jared, Having fun, Its so obvious you are enjoying yourself just by the way you look. Jared closes his eyes tight and reopens them trying to ignore Zane's voice that won't cease from taunting him. Hermione grasps Jared's hand tightly as he begins to cringes in pain but precedes to hide it. Jared grips Hermione's hand as well as a sharp pain begins to shoot throughout Jared's now fragile body. Don't fight it Jared, It will all be over soon enough.
Jared snaps to attention as Zane finishes his sentence. Whats that supposed to mean, Jared thinks as he pieces Zane and the pain together. Class ends as Hermione still holds onto Jared's hand " Hey are you okay for the Quidditch game" Hermione says smiling to Jared. Jared smiles "Sure I think I can survive sitting through it". Jared and Hermione walk out the Great Hall doors and towards the stadium. Jared smiles and he lifts Hermione onto his back for a piggy back ride. Hermione smiles and leans down kissing Jared as they enter the stadium and sits down. Jared smiles holding Hermione in his arms as Eve, Ron and Abby join them. The game begins as everyone begins to cheer. Well Jaredmeboy, Now it begins. Jared smiles hiding his anger and kisses Hermione long and hard "Hey I have to go to the bathroom" Jared says quickly exiting the stadium seats and entering the bathroom. Jared walks up to a mirror and stares long and hard into it while splashing water into his face. Blood filled tears begins to fall from Jared's face hitting the ground below him.
Spark fly from the tears as the room set ablaze as fire begins to burn surrounding Jared. He falls to the ground as the pain in his body shoot through him continuously. The fire continues to burn as the bathroom stall blasts open falling to the floor. Fire spins in a cyclone inside of the stall pulling Jared and the flames around him into it. He tries to fight it but can't his feet give and he flies head first into the cyclone. Like I said Jared, It begins now, Zane says laughing as Jared is surrounded inside of a ball of flame before being absorbed by the cyclone.
