Chapter 1 “Can you be anymore vague?” My irritation was growing alarmingly fast at this point and fortunately Regulus knew me well enough to know how to calm me down when I become flippant with people. |

Chapter 2 It was unnerving how accurate his passionate speech was. I could actually feel how much he believed in his cause and his charisma was alluring. He was trying to rouse the same type of passion in me. Yet there is only one problem. |

Chapter 3 If this is the price that I have to pay in order to still be friends with Regulus than we were never really friends in the first place. How is it that in one moment you feel like you’re on top of the world and the next the world you know is slowly burning down and all that remains are the ashes? |

Chapter 4 Well there goes what little hope I had left for this summer. James and Sirius are going to kill me when they find out about this. Or I could beat them to the punch and take care of it myself. At least it would spare me from the ensuing brain atrophy that I was sure to become victim to. All I know is that this summer is going to be interesting now that I have this ultimatum. |

Chapter 5 This girl was something else to say the least. She made my heart flutter in a way that I had never felt before and there was something about her presence that caused me to forget about everything I was thinking about before. Then again, I can’t believe someone I don’t even know is trying to give me a lecture about how I am around my brother. |

Chapter 6 As soon as Sirius said this, his hand flew quickly to his mouth as he realized what he said. |

Chapter 7 Why is it that whenever you want time to slow down, it just seems to speed up in an attempt to further irk you? It only seems that when you want to delay the inevitable, there is some invisible force that loves to taunt you by making you face what you dread most. |

Chapter 8 “Wait a minuet…did you just say his last name was Potter?” Dorcas’ eyes were as round as Galleons at this point and she had a positively ecstatic look on her face that she wouldn’t have been able to hide even if she were paid. This can’t be boding well for me can it, I thought to myself sullenly. Just what I need them to know; I expect that I’ll just be known as James’ younger and less good looking brother. |

Chapter 9 I could still go back but I was resolute in this. I’m not about to let a bunch of other people decide how I live my life. If they wanted something to talk about then I’ll give everyone something to talk about. |

Chapter 10 “Oh Merlin, I can’t believe we’re about to do this.” It was now or never and nervously I reached over and grabbed her hand. Lily, despite her bravado, was in fact just as nervous as I was. Or at least that’s what I inferred from the way her hand was shaking as we walked over to the entrance to the Great Hall. Everyone was already in breakfast considering that it was halfway over. |

Chapter 11 “And that was just because of what happened over summer. Imagine what would happen if I tried talking him out of this now considering that Lily and I are…er…involved. He would kill me. Literally. Considering I’ve already had the Cruciatus Curse used on me…what other options is left really?” |

Chapter 12 I had already crossed the line, now I was ready to throw myself into oblivion. Nothing mattered to me anymore. Everything before this point now seemed so childish and pointless. In my own recklessness I managed to extract revenge over a wrong that was never committed in the first place. And what was left for me, a broken world with only the pieces left for salvage? |

Chapter 14 “They love me more what can I say?” He certainly was being rather smug after being reminded of his inheritance and the lack thereof in mine. Then again, I figured he would be looking for payback for what I did to him. It would be the only way he knew how to respond to me. All of his life he was better than me and above me until now. He was merely doing this to bring me down to the squalor that I usually languished in. |

Chapter 15 “You could have been in Gryffindor?” Lily seemed genuinely curious about my almost placement into her house. She did seem different than a lot of the other people here and I finally figured out why. To her, it doesn’t matter what house you’re in, rather who you are as a person. I envy her; I wish I could have grown up without all of the inter-house prejudices that were inundated on us as children. |

Chapter 16 While she wasn’t responsible for my desecrated friendship, I wasn’t going to let her obliterate the already tattered relationship I had with James. Unfortunately blood will always be thicker than water, even if we wouldn’t admit it to each other face to face. |

Chapter 17 “You’re actually trying to be nice? What’s wrong with you? Dear Merlin, don’t tell me that you’re trying to become a normal person.” His sarcasm was killing me. Literally. I would rather be mauled by a werewolf than deal with this. Of course, that would require me to find a werewolf and I somehow doubt that Hogwarts has any of those on display. |
