Tears of Time

by Rara-Binks

It's 17 years later, the war is over and everything is at peace. The Next Generation are living strong and nonviolent lives. The Potter clan is sending off the oldest child, James Sirius to his first year of Hogwarts. Now in comes his new (best) friend Katarina who is also starting her first year. She hasn't had such a peaceful and caring life, an unfortunate fact. Follow her life.

There were times like these, peace and calm, where you couldn't understand the mistakes of the past. How so much violence could occur and destroy so many lives. That one man could be the cause and fall of something so entirely good and interwoven with the world. Then you feel awe because even though that could have destroyed this magical part of the universe, it didn't. The light prevailed thanks to a few well known witches and wizards that decided they wouldn't take it lying down.

They did something, and it worked. Now people live in peace knowing You-Know-Who is gone and unlike last time, will NEVER come back. The two sides of Dark and Light, the latter winning and now the shadows have been pushed farther back and away from most eyes. This next generation will have no idea of what tragedy and violence is like. They can be care-free. Some families having direct association with the war through their brave parents and relatives, others don't have a clue.

Unless you're Katarina Camry. She definitely has a clue. Unfortunately her clue is from the shadows. Her relatives didn't fight for peace and love, they fought for violence and hate. Maybe it's a show of character that she realizes that and wishes to never be like them. Maybe not. Maybe you can never correct the sins of your parents and farther relations. You'll only ever be known for what the ancestry stood for.

The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black has only ever stood for two things. Themselves and - Voldemort.

Could that change?
