Prologue
The day was bright and full of opportunity. But not for the boy in front of me. His platinum blond hair fell across his deathly pale skin- hiding his cold grey eyes.
"You know you have to do this."
"I know." His voice was devoid of any emotion. I wished to comfort him and tell him everything would be alright but it wasn't. His failure to complete the task resulted in punishment. The punishment would be carried out by The Dark Lord. I feared for my little boy and his life.
"Enter!" A cold voice demanded. His clammy palm encased mine for a second before he let go. We stepped into the main room. He stepped into his unforgiving future.
Chapter 1
I looked up at the structure before me. The familiar feeling of belonging swept over me. I was home at last. The summer had been unbearably lonely for me; my parents...were gone and Harry had been distant ever since the death of Mad-eye. Ron and I had barely just convinced Harry to come back to Hogwarts with us. Well that was what I thought: That night Harry and Ron left to search for Horcruxes without me. I am truly alone now. So, I came back to Hogwarts by myself. Knowing it was the only place I had left to go.
The Sorting Ceremony and The Feast passed uneventfully. Ginny had sat by me, but it wasn't the same without my two best friends stuffing their faces beside me. I think Ginny felt that way too as she was unusually quiet. After a while of uncomfortable silence I bade her goodnight and headed to the Head Dormitories following the directions on my Hogwarts letter.
"There you are, Mudblood." The insult hit me like a knife. I refused to let him see me care so I bit back my retort and politely replied.
"Hello Malfoy."
"We have to decide on a password together."
"How about Bowtruckle? I read about them over the holidays. They really are a fascinating creature."
"Ok, Bowtruckle." He said to the mirror. He approached the mirror apprehensively before stepping into him. The surface rippled and then stilled as he disappeared. I copied his actions and stepped into the mirror. A coolness washed over me and before I knew it I was on the other side of the mirror. The room I entered had sky blue walls with clouds magically moving- creating the illusion of being outside. In the middle of the room was two dark blue couches with a white coffee table in the middle. A majestic white fireplace with intricate blue detailing and silver ornaments was to my right. On the left side of the room was 3 doors. One white, one blue and one silver. The silver door had Malfoys name on and the blue door was the bathroom. That made the room behind the white door mine. I opened the door and entered the room.
The walls were a red crimson color with gold vines painted up them. The bed was to the left of me and it was a king-size. I had never owned a bed that big before, let alone slept in one. The sheets were a lighter ruby shade of red with the same gold pattern embroidered on them. The wood of the desk, chair, shelves, wardrobe and bed were all engraved with the same pattern. It reminded me of my wand. I pulled out my wand and the pattern on it matched the ones in the room perfectly. This room was truly wonderful. I unpacked all of my robes into the wardrobe and my many schoolbooks onto the shelves. I got ready for bed to tired to inspect the bathroom. I pulled on my favorite green nightgown before slipping in between the soft silky sheets. I fell asleep almost immediately.
