Author's Note: Hey guys! My name is Gabby and this is my first ever fanfic, so sorry if I'm pretty crappy at first. Reviews would be awesome!

Prologue

CRASH.

"Death-eaters" I heard my mom whisper

"Grace, I need you hide in closet now!" She said all of a sudden with a loud shout.

"But mom!"

"No buts! I don't care if you hear screaming, crashes, or whatever. You need to stay in the closet."

"But I'm fifteen! I can help!"

"Grace. Please."

I was about to answer with a witty remark, But another loud CRASH stopped me.

"I love you mom." I said with tears welling up in my eyes. "Be safe"

"I love you too, Grace. Now remember, do not leave the closet unless you're completely sure that their gone. When they leave, floo to uncle Remus' place." She said while her own eyes started filling with tears.

I gave a silent nod, hugged my mom, knowing that I'll probably never see her again then ran into the secret hidden closet specifically designed just incase something like this ever happened.

Hidden safely in the closet, I could still hear every scream, every curse being yelled out by those pathetic human beings.

"Where is she?" The unfamiliar voice boomed at my mother. "She's not here! We got into a row about an hour ago and she hasn't come home since!" My mother half-pleaded, half-screamed.

I silently thanked God for my mother's wondrous acting skills.

"I know you're lying, you and your precious daughter would never fight." He spoke in a dangerously low voice, then laughed maniacally.

"Whatever, since she is not here, and since you are of no use to me, AVADA KEDAVRA!" I nearly screamed, but then held it back, realizing that if I screamed, my mother would have been killed for no reason at all.

It took a few more minutes, I guess he was looking around for something before I heard the loud pop, indicating the death-eater's departure. I decided to count to ten before leaving my hiding spot. As I walked out I nearly fainted at all of the destruction that one death eater caused.

As I was looking around, I felt my throat tighten the moment my eyes laid upon my mother's un-breathing body.

Seeing the life sucked out of my lively, outgoing, always happy mother's eyes did it for me. Now that the death-eater was gone, I could do whatever I wanted. I dropped down on to my knees with a loud thud, and let out a loud blood-curdling scream. After that, I just lost it. My sobs racked my body for a good ten minutes before I was able to pull myself together enough to crawl through all the wreckage to our large, stony, fireplace, grab some floo powder and shout out my godfather's address.

A/N: Well that's it! The prologue of my very first fanfic! Sorry the prologue is so short, I'm sure I'll get better at writing longer chapters the more I write!

Please review! It would mean the world! See you until next time, Gabby.
