Prologue
Flashes of spells illuminated a tall dark silhouette stalking a battlefield in northern Scotland. The moon reflected off a sprawling lake to the figures left and screams filtered through the air. A mop of red hair was missing its body, some one who had once been considered a friend against all odds. Piercing, emerald eyes hid behind a drawn hood. He wasn't supposed to be here, none of this would have happened if he hadn't been here. Killing his adoptive father probably hadn't been the smartest idea but it was done now.
Behind the figure a small woman with long hair was creeping close to the ground, hoping to escape notice. No one had yet gotten this close to the new Dark Lord and she was hopeful that she would be able to kill the monster she had blindly and unknowingly once loved. Ginny Weasley raised a sharpened knife as she got closer, she was wishing two feet now. To her time seemed to slow as the Dark Lord turned around to face her with a sneer on his face, his eyes bright with hatred and loathing. Ginny Weasley froze in place, unable to comprehend what was in front of her. The Dark Lord seemed to pause at the sight of her face as if lost in a memory from long ago.
