In the Shadows of Insanity

Chapter 1

Oh yes, they would regret it. His so called friends, they would die. Did they really believe that he would fall for their stupid plan? Ha! Never would he fall for it. No, no, no... never, never, never. Fools, he would get them. Soon, they would be dead and he would be free!

Tears, they will be crying, begging for it to end before he grants the sweet mercy of death. Ron... Hermione... I'm going to get you. There's no use in running, I'll find you no matter where you go. There's no escaping. This is what you get for trying to fool me, for tricking me into believing that you cared so I would defeat some dark lord for you. Fools the lot of you!

I watch you at breakfast. You smile and laugh and talk. You're so happy. So happy. It almost saddens me to know that I'll soon rip that smile off your face. Almost. But then I think of revenge and the screams that will sound so sweetly from your throat Hermione. Enjoy your last day alive. Put away that book. Enjoy your last day.

And Ron. You really do need to stop talking with your mouth packed with food. I don't need you choking before I get to you. Yes, you and Hermione are together. I nearly forgot. Will you like watching her die before your eyes? No? Well then, I'll make that bastard child she carries die first then. You both can watch me break it's neck. Yes, I know of that spawn you created together. Though you never show any affection other then kisses on the cheek, I know you can be very affectionate in private.

Breakfast is over and we're walking to our first class. I'm abnormally quiet, I know, but I have a lot on my mind; so many plans I want to carry out. You wouldn't want to be in my mind right now, you don't want to know my thoughts so stop asking what I'm thinking of! You will see shortly so stop pestering me!

Oh, just wait. Just wait Ron, Hermione. You'll find out everything you want to know tonight. I can't wait! Can you? I doubt it. But I won't tell you anything of it. I just tell you that I have a surprise for you up in the Astronomy tower tonight at midnight. I'm delighted that you agree to meet me there.

For now, we have work to do and I have a "Golden Boy" persona to keep up. Let's forget about this momentarily shall we? Yes. But it will be soon. So, so soon.

I can't wait to taste your blood tonight.

A/N: I scare myself sometimes. I don't know why I wrote this, I just did. I think it turned out pretty well. This will be a two or three-shot so don't think this is the end.

How do you like it? Please review!!

P.S. No, I don't have issues!!
