It's In The Past

It's half way through another year at Hogwarts

The formidable Bloody Baron glides down a corridor, where passing students edge away from him and give him scared glances.

He knows what they think of him.

He knows they think he's a maniac - he's dangerous - he's a psycopath. And he also knows they're quite right, even though they don't know what he's done.

The only person who know is her. And she's not the sort to go broadcasting it to everyone.

And then he passes her on the corridor.

He looks at her, and even after all this time, Helena Ravenclaw still manages to stir some feeling in the pit of his stomach.

She, however, doesn't even glance at him.
