This chapter contains discussion of self-harm and suicide, and Tara uses the F-slur in the author’s notes.
Recap: Ebony was crying in the Forbidden Forest when Voldemort showed up and told her she has to kill Vampire, and if she doesn’t he’ll kill Draco. She protested, but he gave her a gun and left. Draco then showed up and the two of them made up. And also made out.
AN: stup it u gay fags if u donot lik ma story den fukk off!
“Gay fags” seems a bit redundant, also needlessly offensive and kind of weird considering everyone appears to be bi in this story. Or, at least, all the goth boys are. And Ebony, allegedly.
In any case, I’m sure I’m not the only gay fag who thinks this story is pretty great.
ps it turnz out b’loody mary isn’t a muggle afert al n she n vampire r evil datz y dey movd houses ok!
Again, you can’t switch Hogwarts house after being sorted. Even if it turns out you’re not a Muggle (or Muggle-born, since that’s what she actually meant) and you’re evil.

I was really scared about Vlodemort all day. I was even upset went to rehearsals with my gothic metal band Bloody Gothic Rose 666.
She was upset went to rehearsals. Got it.
Nice band name, incidentally.
I am the lead singer of it and I play guitar. People say that we sound like a cross between GC, Slipknot and MCR.
Of course they do!
The other people in the band are B’loody Mary, Vampire, Draco, Ron (although we call him Diabolo now. He has black hair now with blue streaks in it.) and Hargrid.
I assume she meant Diablo, because Diabolo is that game you play with two sticks and a double-headed wooden top. Although she’s consistent with the spelling of Ron’s nickname, so who knows?
Tara doesn’t know how to spell Hagrid’s name, and I can’t recall that she ever gets it right. She also can’t seem to keep it straight whether Hagrid is an adult or a student and whether he’s a goth or not. We’ll see this shortly.
Only today Draco and Vampire were depressed so they weren’t coming and we wrote songs instead.
I get the feeling this happens a lot.
Actually, when was this band formed? Draco and Ebony only started hanging out recently, and she only met Vampire a few chapters ago. Not to mention it seems improbable that she’d know Ron and Hermione (sorry, Diabolo and B’loody Mary) without knowing Harry (sorry, Vampire).
I knew Draco was probably slitting his wrists (he wouldn’t die because he was a vampire too and the only way you can kill a vampire is with a c-r-o-s-s (there’s no way I’m writing that) or a steak) and Vampire was probably watching a depressing movie like The Corpse Bride.
This is why I told you to take note when Ebony was wearing crosses in her ears a few chapters back; apparently, when it comes to suffering for your fashion, this girl is super hardcore.
Note the typo — “steak” instead of “stake” — because this is not the only time Tara does that.
The Corpse Bride (if you haven’t seen it and know nothing about it, it’s a stop-motion Tim Burton film about a dead girl who falls for a young husband-to-be) isn’t particularly depressing, either. And what is he watching it on? Electronics don’t work in or around Hogwarts because of magical interference.
I put on a black leather shirt that showed off my boobs and tiny matching miniskirt that said Simple Plan on the butt. You might think I’m a slut but I’m really not.
Well, okay then.
We were singing a cover of ‘Helena’ and at the end of the song I suddenly bust into tears.
I thought they were writing songs instead of practicing today.
“Ebony! Are you OK?” B’loody Mary asked in a concerted voice.
A “concerted” voice. Sure.
“What the fuck do you think?” I asked angrily. And then I said. “Well, Voldemort came and the fucking bastard told me to fucking kill Harry! But I don’t want to kill him, because, he’s really nice, even if he did go out with Draco. But if I don’t kill Harry, then Voldemort, will fucking kill Draco!” I burst into tears.
Thought she was already crying.
Also, seeing Voldemort at all should probably be considered way more alarming than his trying to blackmail Ebony.
Suddenly Draco jumped out from behind a wall.
…has he just been hanging out there the whole time?
“Why didn’t you fucking tell me!” he shouted. “How could you- you- you fucking poser muggle bitch!” (c is dat out of character?)
Well, kinda, now that we’ve established that Draco is a completely different person in this story.
I started to cry and cry. Draco started to cry too all sensitive. Then he ran out crying.
That’s more like it, I guess.
We practiced for one more hour. Then suddenly Dumbeldore walked in angrily! His eyes were all fiery and I knew this time it wasn’t cause he had a headache.
Tara’s really set on the “headache” thing, huh?
“What have you done!” He started to cry wisely. (c dats basically nut swering and dis time he wuz relly upset n u wil c y)
I can’t argue with that; crying is, indeed, basically not swearing. Not positive how you do it “wisely” but I won’t argue with that either.
“Ebony Draco has been found in his room. He committed suicide by slitting his wrists.”
Normally I’d comment on how they found him awfully quick (it’s only been an hour since he ran off), but remember at the beginning of this chapter when Ebony explained that Draco is also a vampire and can’t be killed except with a cross or a stake? Is Tara reading what she writes?
