When War is the Only Thing I've Got

Prologue

Throughout the years, centuries, millenniums perhaps, people have always said that good will always win over evil, that the good will always overcome all. You may call me a pessimist or emo or whatever you want, but I don't believe in that anymore. Not after everything that has happened in my life.

Maybe you'll think it impossible, but I used to be that kid, the oblivious to death, pain and everything hard that other people had in life; everything seemed to always go perfect in mine. The only downfall in my life was sister, well, her name's Petunia, and let's make clear first that she is not a witch, in the magic sense of the word, in the common muggle sense of her being horrible, well then she would be a witch. Have you ever realized in your life that a moment is too perfect to be true? Like really I'm not one of those bubbly girls that when their boyfriend kisses them, they're all like "oh my good GOD! It was so perfect!" no I'm not pathetic. At first, I thought well what's the problem with having a good life? But then I began to realize, that it was just too perfect, everyone else's families were dying or had to be in hiding along with them, and I, a muggle-born witch, the best in her year at Hogwarts, didn't need to hide her MUGGLE parents from Voldemort? And no, I was not scared of saying or writing his name.

You have to understand that little by little I began realizing, that someone was behind this, and I had to find out who and WHY he or she were doing it. That's how I came to find out, that Lord Voldemort wanted me in his ranks, on his right hand if possible, and he had thought it unwise to kill my family if he wanted me to join him. That's how he ended up killing my mom and my dad the night alter my refusal and then sent me a bouquet of flowers, which had a card saying "I will not stop until you say yes my Darling" –TMR. , TMR were his real initials, Tom Marvolo Riddle, the Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort, You-Know-Who, as many had adapted by now, fearing his name already. But I would not bow down to his will, I never would.
