Kiss a snake.

The whole school was buzzing the next morning, younger students caught in a mixture of fear and excitement. As everyone came down for breakfast their curiosity was increased when Professor Dippet made an announcement that the girl Annie Cook was still in the medical wing and they had no leads on what could have attacked her. He warned them to be on their guard but not to worry as they were sure the culprit would be caught. This had made Anya have to hide a smile, like they were going to work out who really was behind the attacks. They had been dismissed to their classes as normal.

More attacks followed over the next couples of weeks, however none were fatal and the victims were described as being "petrified", the Herbology teacher was working on a small group of mandrakes, much to Anya's annoyance. Suspicions were flying everywhere, and suspects seemed to change daily, no one knew what was happening...

It was on the 13th June 1942 that Anya finally got her chance to get her revenge on the muggleborn that had insulted her. The girl she discovered was a girl named Myrtle, she wasn't popular and as Anya soon discovered was mostly bullied by a girl named Olive Hornby, and thankfully she was a Slytherin in Anya's year so it wasn't hard to get to talk to her.

It was in potions when Anya managed to talk to her. "Hey Olive, don't you think your being unfair to that Myrtle girl." She asked trying to make her voice seem sincere and concerned for the ever bullied misfit. It was all an act of course, her plan was being set up and it couldn't possibly fail.

"No, the little weed deserves it, she's a disgrace." She replied nastily, adding more ingredients to her potion, "anyway what's it to you, she's a Ravenclaw."

"Nothing, but I just figured people should let her. I mean I'm sure it's not her fault that she hasn't the money to buy proper glasses...and you're not meant to add the peppermint yet..." she walked off, as Olive hastily checked her now ruined potion. She soon was smiling to herself however when she saw the effect her words had had on the bully, Olive was smirking. This was something new that she could torment Myrtle about, she laughed to herself before going to seek her intended victim at the end of her lesson. Seeing the il-fitting girl coming down the hall she called out "Oi Myrtle, what are those things on your face?..."

Myrtle had had a horrible day, and ended up running into the girl's bathroom on the second floor after her own personal bully, Olive Hornby had humiliated her in front of her class because of her glasses. She sat down on the toilet sobbing loudly as she cursed the girl and the world to herself. So caught up in her sorrow she didn't even notice that she had been followed into the bathroom, and who was now standing a little way from her cubicle listening to the loud sobs she was emitting. She had locked the door and made sure she wouldn't be disturbed but now Anya stood deliberating, could she do this...yes of course she could what was getting into her this plan couldn't fail after all; the girl was a mudblood...vermin.

Checking that Myrtle was still sobbing loudly, Anya walked up to the sink "open" she hissed quietly. The chamber opened the noise was loud but the crying girl wouldn't have been aware of it, the girl could sure cry. Anya hissed to summon the large serpent, before moving to the side out of sight. Myrtle had realised there was someone in the bathroom with her and stood up of the toilet seat "Who's there?" she demanded "Go Away". When she didn't get a reply she assumed the person had left even though she hadn't heard any retreating footsteps.

Opening the cubicle door she stepped out, she turned the corner only to be met with two large eyes.

."Kill her" Anya hissed quickly as the girl walked closer to where the serpent lurked waiting.

Myrtle heard the hiss but couldn't turn away from the eyes in front of her, pain was shooting through her body, and she felt cold. She collapsed to the ground as her legs could not hold her weight any longer, every nerve in her body was on fire and felt like it was dying, which is what it was doing. Her eyes didn't want to remain open any longer and she couldn't fight it her breathing was shallow and her heart that at first had been beating too fast was now slowing down and she couldn't stay focused on anything. Myrtles last thought was of Olive Hornby and how she was going to get her revenge...

Anya had watched Myrtle dying until the girls breathing had stopped. She couldn't take her eyes from the corpse that lay before her, the girl dead because of her...she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The basilisk was still staring at its victim. "Go, my pet, Go" Anya hissed quietly, still not able to take her eyes from the girl before her. After what seemed hours but was only really minutes Anya realised that she needed to get away before anyone noticed she was missing. Closing the chamber and unlocking the bathroom door she left Myrtle lying on the floor, she left the bathroom and walked swiftly back to her common room. She went into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water, looking into the mirror she saw her own reflection, nothing had changed physically but Anya knew that she had been changed forever, she had caused someones death, yet she couldn't feel any remorse for what she had done and that scared her.

An – I like the way this chapter has gone. Please tell me your thoughts however...xx
