Hi there, if there's anyone reading, then this is for you. First this chapter is an excerpt from the story, I haven't finished it yet, but I know this chapter has to happen at some point, many things can change, so that's what your reviews would help me with, it is a kind of twisted story with an OC character and is slightly AU. About the rating, you should know that I'm not familiar with it, if you think this belongs to any other rating, please let me know

'Dad! Please don't go. Please don't leave me alone' I looked at him, begged him to stay safe, a couple of tears streaming down my face, but I could see in his eyes that this I would not win, I couldn't win against the chosen one. I couldn't win against the raging war outside. A single tear rolled down my cheek at last and dad went to get his wand, then I knew this was not a nightmare and I knew right then that my battle was lost, whether it was a dream or not, I wouldn't let my father get caught or worse just because of a grudge against the boy-who-wouldn't-die. Dad came downstairs and was just ready to leave with Moody, I quickly smiled apologetically to Remus and Kingsley, who ere right behind, I wasn't planning on waiting for Dumbledore, so I delegated my task to Kreacher, who would now explain everything to old Dumbles

We went straight to the Ministry, I knew I wasn't supposed to go along, but they messed up with the wrong broken-family. The bright side was that Dumbledore would know. Kreacher would make sure he knew. We catched up with Harry and one of his friends in the death chamber, a creepy place with a creepy name.

Protecting Harry was Sirius' task, Moody was up to duel any death eater and I was up to fight along dad, right now I knew if everything came falling down, at least I would've done my best, and at the end of the day, it was all I could hope for. Remus was now trying to find the other kids, I followed dad and found him caught on a duel, he was fighting alongside Harry, just when I was about to join dad, a sicken voice called my name.

'Amanda Zabini, a little late to be out of bed isn't it little cousin?' She looked at dad mockingly, but he didn't look away from his opponent, which was probably her goal. It was impossible, the bitch knew, and she was now aiming her wand, at first I was able to block and avoid her jinxes and curses, but she was getting rougher and who was I kidding, I wasn't made for fighting, and this psycho obviously liked to play, if it weren't for that, I know I would be death by now, but it makes little difference given the fact that her curses became harder to avoid, everyone was busy by now, the only chance I had, was using my surroundings but by the time I summon a friggin rock to protect myself, I'll surely be death.

'What will little Blaise say when sis Mandy turns out death?' Her eyes were teasing and her hysterical laughs were so not helping my case, Blaise was still dealing with mom's husbands and each time they turned worse and worse, what if Mrs. Harrison stopped dropping by and taking Blaise out of that hellhole... Am I such a bad big sister? Please don't let him be hurt again.

'what will Blaise say about his only sister being a blood traitor? A shame to the family... How many punishments will he have to stand because of your pathetic heroical stunt in here' I saw now the fire in her eyes, the same fire that had never been inside mine and somehow I was glad that this war hadn't turned me into a murderer, because I knew now that there was no good done in fighting her cruelty with violence, that would only eat me later on, then, a smile crept through my face. I knew this could be the end, and the only thing I regret so far in my life is spending so many galleons in candy, I quickly looked through the room, dad was smiling and having a good time, Remus was dueling along Dora and both looked happy as hell, Moody was now bringing three death eaters down and my clothes still smelt slightly like dad's.

'Bring it on, bitch'
