Author Diddy: Well, here it is, the prologue to my fic set during Severus's time as a Hogwarts student. Before you correct me, yes, I do realize that this part takes place after HBP - and follows cannon with it too, as far as we can tell - however, the first chapter will be taking place during the year 1969.
Any mistakes made are purely my own, as the amazing Linthilde has worked her magic on this bit - without her this wouldn't have been quite so pretty sounding. She also helped me christen this fic after a roundabout conversation of possible titles.
Disclaimer: I only claim ownership to the idea, as I'm not certain I've seen this done yet; Harry Potter and all things related belong first and foremost to JK Rowling.
Warning: I'm not sure what this will contain - but consider yourselves warned!
Prologue
- 1997, summer
"Bloody
bird..."
Absentmindedly
snaking a tattered quill through my fingers, I stalk up to what I
imagine used to be a window and gaze out at the graveyard where the
Dark Lord’s resurrection took place. I find that my tired eyes
barely take in the details of Little Hangleton that I know so well
already. They’ve followed the seemingly haphazard placement of the
houses and shops in the distance too many times to even merit
attention. My searching eyes merely serve as a tool to distract my
wandering mind … but it doesn’t work. It never does.
What
have I done to bring myself to this point? An Unbreakable Vow that
left Albus Dumbledore, the solitary protector I had even to this day,
dead by my wand. The boy, who can no longer be treated or nurtured as
such, that I have always thought of as family now bears the same fate
and mark as I. And all this time the Order, including its Savior,
hunt for me almost as viciously as they hunted for my Master.
Would my life have turned out any different if my father had been a pureblood wizard rather than a loathsome muggle? Would a life of luxury, surrounded by the wealth and power of a name, even serve a purpose? Would a mere modification in circumstance have altered my direction? Would it have led me out of the Darkness or would I have found myself bred on the Darkness and voicing the same ideals with an even greater conviction?
A series of hesitant whimpers interrupts my errant mind as I find the current object of my thoughts stirring. Whirling away from the decrepit window and the 'view' beyond it, I scowl over at the pale haired young man who suddenly decided that he needed to awaken from sleep at a most inopportune moment. “Foolish child, you knew you would suffer the Dark Lord’s wrath if you failed in your task! Now if you would be so kind as to cease your quest to sit up, you might find that this simple feat would actually allow the potions that He has graciously given me leave to use to help you heal.”
He drops his gaze from mine as his cheeks flame. Defeat dampening the remaining glimmer of spirit in his mercurial eyes, he cautiously lowers himself back onto the mattress. “How are you up Godfather?” His voice still hoarse from the screams, he coughs harshly. “You suffered the same as I.”
With
nary an answer for my charge, my gaze left those curious and pained
eyes as I stared sightlessly past him, my mind turning inwards. “I
am used to our Master’s retribution, child. I have had twenty
years to...” A bitter sneer twisted my lips as I drawled that final
word with disdain, “adapt.”
