The Darker Side of Love

Summary- Love is a powerful emotion. Some people will lie for love. Others will cheat for love. Some will even kill for love. Maybe love is too strong of an emotion. DMHGRW

The End and the Beginning

It was a bright sunny day near the end of August. On this beautiful day a young girl and boy slowly walked down the Diagon Alley. Soon it would be time for them to go back to Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lessons would start up again and homework would be piled on to prepare them for the NEWTS they would be taking this year. But, until then the rest of the summer was theirs to enjoy. And they intended to enjoy it as much as possible.

As the boy and girl walked down the lane they talked about quidditch and NEWTS and friends; anything and everything other than what was really on their minds. Finally the boy stopped and turned to the girl, unable to take it anymore.

"We have to talk about it. You know it and I know it, so why not get it over with?" he asked.

"Alright," she sighed and took the boy by the hand and led him into the Three Broomsticks. After they had gotten two butterbeers and found a seat in the back of the pub they could avoid the topic no longer.

"Why did you do it? What were you thinking? Didn't you know you would have to face the consequences for this?" They girl asked.

"I know now. But when it happened the only thing going through my head was that he had to pay for what he had done. I did it for you. I did it for us. You know that we couldn't be together while he was still around," The boy said with a sad look in his eyes.

"We may not be able to be together now either. After your trail they could send you to Azkaban and never let you out."

"I know. But at least not you know how much I love you and I know that he won't be here to hurt you ever again. That's what matters."

"But, you killed him! In cold blood you just murdered him!" The girl screeched. She broke down and sobbed.

The boy reached over and held her as she cried. He was too full of hurt to cry. How could he have done this? He did it out of love, but was the price to high? No, he told himself. No price was to high for the one he loved.

That whole year had been such a blur, such a confusion of emotion and fighting. A replay of the events of the previous year ran through his head. It was amazing how much things could change in one year.

I will now tell you all the things that had happened in that last year, in the order of which they happened. It is a long and complicated story, but well worth the time to know this story of life, love, and human emotion.

A/N- The next chapter will start the actual plot of the story. This is after the story happened, so the whole story is a flashback! PLZ REVIEW!!! Thank-you!
