Chapter One: The End

A small war torn figure stood on the edge of the Astronomy Tower watching the ground below. The tower was the only erect building left of Hogwarts. The once great school of witchcraft and wizardry now resembling ruin. A cruel voice spoke clearly into the night. At once everywhere and nowhere. "My dear dear followers. Tonight we celebrate for a new age has begun. A golden age!" Within the wreckage war calling and celebration wreaked havoc. Toxic smoke emitted in dark shapes as cruel laughter echoed manically, travelling through the vast forbidden forest and beyond. Harry Potters bleeding head stood on a pike outside the steps of the entrance hall.

The weary girl nudged her feet and some debris of the worn rock collapsed. She watched the downfall and as she heard the collision below she brought that foot forward, letting it balance mid-air before diving head first in an elegant somersault in the cold November night. No scream escaped her smiling lips. Her eyes fluttered close looking as if she was falling into a deep sleep.

A.N. Welcome new readers. I am hoping this will be a nice long fanfic filled with adventure, angst and of course a blooming romance. I warn you now there will be adult themes and some distressing images. Please do review with feedback. Enjoy.
