Some self-harm again in this chapter. Also a bit of sex but it’s for all of one sentence.
Recap: After hearing that Draco committed suicide, Ebony took a bath and attempted to commit suicide with a “steak.” When she got out of the bath, she realized that Snape and Lupin were outside her window filming her, and a confrontation between the three ensued, with Vampire, Dumbledore, and Hagrid also showing up. Hagrid performed a gothic rendition of a 50 Cent song and then declared his love for Ebony, which is the note the chapter ended on.
AN: stop f,aing ok hargrid is a pedo 2 a lot of ppl in amerikan skoolz r lik dat I wunted 2 adres da ishu!
Your commentary on this “ishu” might make a little more sense if you didn’t make your character a legal adult in her story’s canon and if you were at all consistent about whether or not Hagrid is a student.
how du u no snap iant kristian plus hargrid isn’t really in luv wif ebony dat was sedric ok!
Cedric died when Harry was in his fourth year at Hogwarts. Harry is the same age as Ebony, so that was three years ago. Also this is the only time he gets mentioned in this story, so, no, none of this makes sense. As per usual.

I was about to slit my wrists again with the silver knife that Drago had given me in case anything happened to him. He had told me to use it valiantly against an enemy but I knew that we must both go together.
That bit must be in the deleted scenes.
“NO!” I THOUGHT IT WAS HAIRgrid but it was Vampire. He started to scream. “OMFG! NOOOOO! MY SCAR HURTS!” and then….. his eyes rolled up! You could only see his red whites.
His red whites. Got it.
Nice editing job, Raven.
I stopped. “How did u know?”
“I saw it! And my scar turned back into the lightning bolt!”
“NO!” I ran up closer. “I thought you didn’t have a scar anymore!” I shouted.
“I do but Diabolo changed it into a pentagram for me and I always cover it up with foundation.” he said back.
What was the point of changing it into a pentagram if you’re going to keep it covered up with foundation?
“Anyway my scar hurt and it turned back into the lightning bolt! Save me!
Just to clarify for anyone reading who isn’t up on their HP canon, Harry’s scar does hurt from time to time in the books, usually in response to something going on with Voldemort. The scar represents a magical link between the two of them. (Not to spoil the way the series ends, but this is because Voldemort accidentally gave Harry a piece of his own soul while attempting to kill baby Harry along with his parents.) It’s open to debate how much Harry Potter knowledge Tara has, considering the ridiculous mess of things she makes, but she at least knows that much.
then I had a vision of what was happening to Draco…………….Volfemort has him bondage!”
You know, I’d advise not phrasing it like that, personally.
Anyway I was in the school nurse’s office now recovering from my slit wrists.
I’d think it would only take a couple seconds to patch that up using magic. Remember, in this universe you can magically regrow bones overnight, so Ebony’s slit wrists shouldn’t pose too much of an issue.
It’s also not a “nurse’s office,” it’s a full-blown medical wing. Hogwarts students tend to sustain some interesting injuries, as you might expect would happen when you try and teach a bunch of teenagers magic. And let them play Quidditch, which is a ludicrously dangerous sport. And when you’re bad at keeping Dark wizards from teaching at the school. And so on.
Snap and Loopin and HAHRID were there too. They were going to St. Mango’s after they recovered cause they were pedofiles and you can’t have those fucking pervs teaching in a school with lots of hot gurlz.
St. Mungo’s is a magical hospital. I don’t know if they can treat pedophilia there. I’m also not sure any of these guys qualify since they were spying on Ebony, who, again, is an adult by Wizarding standards, and since Tara can’t seem to decide how old Hagrid is.
Dumbledore had constipated the cideo camera they took of me naked.
He had constipated the cideo camera. Wow. That’ll solve the issue, I’m sure.
I put up my middle finger at them.
Good ol’ Ebony.
Anyway Hargrid came into my hospital bed holding a bouquet of pink roses.
“Enoby I need to tell u somethnig.” he said in a v. serious voice, giving me the roses.
If he really is about to be sent away for pedophilia, why is he allowed to visit Ebony?
“Fuck off.” I told him. “You know I fucking hate the color pink anyway, and I don’t like fucked up preps like you.” I snapped.
She wears pink fairly often, so saying she hates it seems a bit suspect. Also Hagrid is in her goth band and professed to being a Satanist in the last chapter.
Hargrid had been mean to me before for being gottik.
Again, I doubt it. Has Tara forgotten he’s part of Ebony’s band?
“No Enoby.” Hargrid says. “Those are not roses.”
“What, are they goffs too you poser prep?” I asked cause I was angry that he had brought me pink roses.
I’m gonna be honest, Ebony’s comeback here is pretty funny.
“I saved your life!” He yelled angrily. “No you didn’t I replied.” “You saved me from getting a Paris Hilton p- video made from your shower scene and being vued by Snap and Loopin.” Who MASTABATED (c is dat speld rong) to it he added silently.
Yes, it is spelled wrong.
Also, it was a bath scene, not a shower scene, and I doubt there’s a huge market for “goth girl self-harms with a steak in a bathtub” porn out there.
“Whatever!” I yelled angirly.
He pointed his wand at the pink roses. “These aren’t roses.” He suddenly looked at them with an evil look in his eye and muttered Well If you wanted Honesty that’s all you haD TO SAY! .
“That’s not a spell that’s an MCR song.” I corrected him wisely.
That was a wise correction, yes.
“I know, I was just warming up my vocal cordes.” Then he screamed. “Petulus merengo mi kremicli romacio(4 all u cool goffic mcr fans out, there, that is a tribute! specially for raven I love you girl!)imo noto okayo!”
I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried.
And then the roses turned into a huge black flame floating in the middle of the air. And it was black.
It was black, and it was black? I just need to be clear on the color.
Now I knew he wasn’t a prep.
Yeah, that proves it.
“OK I believe you now wtf is Drako?”
He’s your boyfriend, and Voldemort has him bondage. We’ve been over this.
Not sure how he got captured by Voldemort, or why Dumbledore thought he committed suicide. Don’t worry, it never gets explained!
Hairgrid rolled his eyes. I looked into the balls of flame but I could c nothing.
What is she expecting to see, exactly?
“U c, Enobby,” Dumblydore said, watching the two of us watching the flame. “2 c wht iz n da flmes(HAHA U REVIEWRS FLAMES GEDDIT) u mst find urslf 1st, k?”
Leave the MSTing to me, Dumblydore. Also, great joke, Tara.
“I HAVE FOUND MYSELF OK YOU MEAN OLD MAN!” Hargrid yelled.
He wasn’t even talking to you!
dUMBLydore lookd shockd. I guess he didn’t have a headache or else he would have said something back.
Yeah, guess not.
Hairgrid stormed off back into his bed. “U r a liar, prof dumbledoree!”
No idea why he’s angry seeing as Dumbledore wasn’t talking to him and said nothing that could be construed as offensive. Or as lying.
Anyway when I got better I went upstairs and put on a black leather minidress that was all ripped on the ends with lace on it. There was some corset stuff on the front. Then I put on black fishnets and black high-heeled boots with pictures of Billie Joe Armstrong on them. I put my hair all out around me so I looked like Samara from the Ring (if u don’t know who she iz ur a prep so fuk off!) and I put on blood-red lipstick, black eyeliner and black lip gloss.
Not to knock the outfit, but I don’t know why she changed clothes. She got dressed right before the whole ordeal with Snape and Lupin.
“You look kawai, girl.” B’loody Mary said sadly.
Ahh, gratuitous Japanese. “Kawaii” is spelled with two I’s, and this misspelling makes me think Tara might not know how to pronounce it; I wouldn’t mention this except I’ve heard people mispronounce “kawaii” in real life as if it has only two syllables, which makes it sound more like “kowai” (scary) rather than the intended meaning (cute).
“Fangs (geddit) you do too.” I said sadly too, but I was still upset.
I hope she said “geddit” out loud.
I slit both of my wrists feeling totally depressed and I sucked all the blood.
What, is she out of bottled blood?
I cried again in my bathroom and put the shades on so Snap and Loopin couldn’t spy on me this time.
Don’t think she has to worry about that, seeing as they should either be waiting to go to “St. Mango’s” or already en route.
I went to some classes. Vampire was in the Hair of Magical Magic Creatures.
Wow, what a sentence! I’m assuming she means he’s attending Care of Magical Creatures class.
He looked all depressed because Draco had disappeared and he had used to be in love with Draco. He was sucking some blood from a Hufflepuff.
I guess we’ve finally figured out what Hufflepuff House is good for. Although, just a reminder, Vampire isn’t actually a vampire.
“Hi.” he said in a depressed way. “Hi back.” I said in an wqually said way.
We both looked at each other for some time. Harry had beautiful red gothic eyes so much like Dracos.
Maybe they buy their color contacts from the same place?
Then……… we jumped on each other and started screwing each other.
Look, I know they had some unresolved sexual tension, but they’re in the middle of class. The Hufflepuff is probably relieved, though.
“STOP IT NOW YOU HORNY SIMPLETONS!” shouted Professor McGoggle who was watching us and so was everyone else.
I can’t argue with her remark, but I do wonder why she’s there. Professor McGonagall teaches Transfiguration, not Care of Magical Creatures.
Also interesting that McGonagall let Vampire get away with sucking that Hufflepuff’s blood, since she’s apparently been watching the whole time.
“Vampire you fucker!” I said slapping him. “Stop trying to screw me. You know I loved Draco!” I shouted and then I ran away angrily.
Makes two of them. And phrasing implied that Ebony and Vampire initiated sex with each other at the exact same time, so I would think she’s as guilty as he is here.
Just then he started to scream. “OMFG! NOOOOO! MY SCAR HURTS!” and then….. his eyes rolled up! You could only see his red whites.
“NO!” I ran up closer.
“I thought you didn’t have a scar anymore!” I shouted.
“I do but Diabolo changed it into a pentagram for me and I always cover it up with foundation.” he said back. “Anyway my scar hurt and then I had a vision of what was happening to Draco…………….Volfemort has him bondage!”
…yeah, look familiar? So here’s my best guess: Tara wrote this scene at the beginning of the chapter, but then decided it made more sense as a cliffhanger and moved it to the end, neglecting to delete the first instance of the scene. Raven’s clearly not paying attention anymore.

It’s possible that Raven didn’t read over this chapter at all, actually, or that she gave it a very cursory glance. You’ll see why.
HEY RAVEN DO U KNOW WHERE MY SWEATER I
This marks the beginning of Tara and Raven’s fight, a (presumably) IRL drama between the two that bleeds into “My Immortal” quite a bit, in multiple ways. In my opinion, this is one of the many things about this fic that elevates it from a run-of-the-mill badfic to a true work of genius.
