Bargaining With Evil

July 31st: Melanie sat on the large windowsill in the Slytherin common room and looked out the foggy window as droplets of rain poured down the glass. Today was Harry's birthday and from what Melanie remembered she and her family used to gather around the kitchen table with a huge birthday cake and sing happy birthday to Harry. After cake, the Potter family would give Harry his presents and after everyone went to bed Melanie always snuck down to see Harry and her mother enjoying a glass of wine and each others company.

But now things were different: Melanie's mom, dad, and two sisters were now dead and from now on Harry's birthdays were only memories.

"Maybe we can celebrate together," Kyle said handling Melanie a plate that had an enormous piece of chocolate cake.

"Thanks," Melanie said taking a fork from Kyle, "I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembered."

"How could we?" Kyle said as other students came into the Slytherin common room carrying a large rectangular chocolate cake that had thirty-five lit candles.

"Make a wish dad," Melanie said as a gust of wind came through the window and blew the candles out. Everyone cheered and had a mini birthday party. Once midnight struck, everyone left.

"Did you have fun?" Kyle asked hugging her.

"Yes, thank you," Melanie said smiling, "I'm glad you remembered. You're very sweet."

"And you're adorable," Kyle said bending down and kissing her. He pulled her close and deepened his kiss, but as Kyle started to unbutton her blouse a cold chill ran up Melanie's spine and she heard a deep errie voice near her ear.

She broke her kiss with Kyle and said, "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Kyle asked bending down and kissing her neck.

"I heard a voice," Melanie said as Kyle continued to kiss her neck and unbutton her blouse.

"I didn't hear anything," Kyle said opening her blouse and feeling her right breast.

Melanie!

Melanie broke from Kyle completely and stood in the middle of the room and yelled. "WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHO ARE YOU?"

"I'm your worst nightmare!" said the voice.

Melanie was suddenly on her back, stuck to the floor. Her arms were at a forty-five degree angle and so were her feet.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Melanie yelled frightened as Kyle tried to free her.

"Go away!" Kyle yelled, but the entity picked Kyle up by his neck and threw him out the window.

"Kyle!" Melanie yelled as tears rolled down her pale face, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

"I want your heart," the entity said creating three deep claw marks on her chest right above her purple laced bra.

"SOMEONE HELP ME!" Melanie yelled, but the entity merely laughed as it started to pull the skin off where the three claw marks were. Melanie screamed at the top of her lungs, but the entity just kept peeling Melanie's skin off.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" someone yelled.

The entity suddenly stopped and said, "Who interrupts me when I'm feeding?"

"Avada Kedavra!" the person yelled and the entity finally came into view. It was a forest green, tall, had large wings, his claws were about eighteen inches long, its elbow had rough skin around the bone, its teeth were sharp and jagged, and its head was very large possibly the size of a large cantalope.

"Who saved me?" Melanie asked as she held her skin on her chest with her right hand.

An olive skinned man wearing ripped jeans, a black long sleeved shirt and sneakers appeared to Melanie, "I did."

The man looked about seventeen with brown shaggy hair, blue eyes, broad shoulders, lean and tall, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Jared Schmidt," the boy said kissing Melanie's left hand, "And you're Melanie Potter right?"

"Yea," she said surprised, "How did you know?"

"Nevermind that," Jared said as he conjured a first aid kit and started to patch up Melanie's wound. He put a large white bandage on her cut and magically sealed it to her skin.

"Where's Kyle?" Melanie asked as she looked the window and saw him on the ground, "Take me down to him!"

"Alright," Jared said as he took Melanie's hand and materialized from the Slytherin common room to outside about a thousand below the common room. Kyle's body was broken; both his arms and legs, his neck, and his sternum. She out his hand over Kyle's heart, but her golden light did not come of her hands and she began to cry. She picked up his head and body and hugged him tightly and cried.

"Please come back!" Melanie said crying very hard, "KYLE!" She cried so hard blood started to come from her face and leak from her pores. Jared transported her and Kyle back to the common room, but not long after Kyle started to disappear in Melanie's arms.

"What's happening?"

"He's disappearing," Jared said amazed, "When an innocent person has a horrible death or is murdered they die by materializing. it's better than being buried."

When Melanie looked back at Kyle, his eyes were open and he said, "It's Katrina. Kill her. Don't forget about me! I love you!" And he disappeared.

"DEATH!" Melanie yelled and Sam appeared folding his arms and scowling at Melanie.

"Why have you summoned me?" Sam asked. Sam Parker was once a Hogwarts student who took a dealing with the Devil and when Sam died Satan made him the Angle of Death.

"BRING HIM BACK!" Melanie yelled pointing at the pile of blood on the floor, "Make him alive again!"

"I can't," Sam said conjuring his list, "You would have to sacrifice someone in order to get trade their souls."

"Who do you want?" Melanie asked as Jared pulled her aside.

"You're seriously considering this?"

"I loved Kyle," Melanie said.

"I loved my girlfriend too, but I moved on," Jared said trying to reason with her, "You need to accept his death."

"No," Melanie said crying, "I'm going to bring him back whether you like it or not!" She turned towards Sam and said, "Who do you want?"

"Your brother."
