Colin woke up, feeling the glare of a light hanging on top of him. He saw a picture of Romilda Vane and Matilda Whyte smiling back at him and his stomach churned, seeing their faces. He looked down, seeing that his he was stark naked and his hands and feet were immovable, as if an invisible rope tied them down. He moved, wriggled, anything to try and escape but failed.
"Hello?! HELLO?!" he yelled.
"Looks like your beauty rest wore off quite well. You're especially glowing today." Jade said, walking towards him.
She was wearing her simple Hogwarts uniform but had plastic wrapped around her feet, legs and arms. Her hair was tied into a bun and she was wearing a soft blue plastic shower cap over her head.
"Jade? Jade, what the fuck is going on? Why do you have me here like this?" Colin asked.
Jade smirked, reaching for her dragon hide gloves.
"What do you think is going on Colin? Think carefully…the right answer might set you free." Jade said, wiggling her fingers into her gloves.
"You didn't think I killed Romilda or Matilda? That's crazy Jade." Colin said, laughing nervously.
Jade smiled, seeing him laugh. She laughed along with him and Colin grinned.
"Come on love. Break me out of this will you? I'm getting kind of cold." He said, seeing her grin even more.
"Then get used to it love. You're going to be rotting between these cold walls for the rest of your life." Jade said, taking out a rather large and jagged rock. She turned it in her hand, looking at it keenly and slid her eyes slowly to Colin who gaped.
"It's my first time. I think I'm nervous." Jade said, wondering where she should start.
It was like a small child being set loose in a toy store. Where to hit first?
"Nervous? NERVOUS?! You've got to be fucking kidding me. You can't kill me and leave me here. Stop joking around and being a bitch and let me the fuck go!" Colin yelled.
"You're not winning me over here, Colin. Hold still." Jade said raising her arm to strike.
"ARRRRRRRGHHHHHH!" Colin screamed from the top of his lungs. "YOU CRAZY BITCH! SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME! SOMEONE STOP HER! HELP ME! HELP! HELP!" He screamed.
"There's no use. You're a few miles under the school." Jade said.
"Why are you doing this to me? Please let me go. I never tried to hurt you Jade. Please don't kill me." He begged, crying.
"Tell me Colin…did Romilda and Matilda say the same thing before you killed them?" Jade asked.
Colin sobbed, not being able to answer Jade.
"Why did you kill them anyways?"
"Why do you think I killed them?" Colin asked.
"See, now you're getting on my nerves." Jade said, poking his forehead firmly.
"I did it because I wanted you to come back to me Jade." Colin said.
Jade furrowed her eyebrows and leaned against the table. "I'm sorry. I can't think of why any girl would find you murdering two innocent people to be charming." Jade said.
"I wanted you to be afraid. I wanted you to scare you into thinking that you needed me to protect you from a murderer. Why are you smiling?" Colin asked, starting to cry.
Jade watched him, smiling eerily.
"I'm just gobsmacked at the irony…that's all." She said, flipping the rock in her hand.
"You're not a killer. You're not like this." Colin said.
"I'm exactly what you think I am. I'm a monster…not the monster like you are, no." Jade said.
"Fuck you. Those bitches deserved it." Colin spat.
Jade lifted the rock and struck as hard as she could into his chest. Colin choked and jolted while Jade pulled the rock out again and beat him until he was surely dead.
"So did you." Jade said, seeing the blood pour from his body, onto the table and finally on the plastic wrapped floor.
"You don't remember anything else except for Colin and the knife he was holding?" Jade asked Hermione who shook her head, rubbing her forehead.
"Did they at least catch the bastard?" Hermione asked, seeing Jade, Harry, Ron and Ginny shrug.
"The Professors and Aurors said he just disappeared. He could be anywhere by now." Ginny said.
'Or in a secret chamber a few miles below Hogwarts.' Jade thought.
"Hoping that he's dead, torn into pieces and becoming maggot food is wishful thinking at best." Hermione said.
"You never know. Wishes do come true." Jade said.
"I'm so glad you aren't hurt." Ron said. Hermione's face softened and she felt his hand.
"Who else would have done my homework?" Ron asked.
Everyone burst into laughter and Hermione threw his hand slapping it hand away.
