Welcome to my story. Harry Potter does not belong to me I just made up this situation. Enjoy!

After Voldemort's return times have been tough for us all but no one expected an attack to Hogwarts so soon. My second home was ambushed in the night and there was no way to protect ourselves. Professor Dumbledore has been leaving the castle a lot lately and tonight was one of those nights. No one, not even Harry knows where he has been going off to but he is no help to us now.

We tried to stay safe in the common room as long as we could but the Fat Lady wasn't a great defense against the attackers. Some of us, mostly the first and second years, are captured and taken out of sight right away, we have no idea what is to happen to them. The rest of us, myself included are dragged out of the common room, down to the Great Hall to be taunted and mocked before our fate is decided.

The teachers try to protect us the best they can but they are no match for the small army of Death Eaters that are prowling around the school. When we reach the Great Hall we all stand in awe as Snape changes from our morbid professor to a ruthless assassin within seconds. We all saw this betrayal coming but it still stung to see the way he switched sides without a bit of remorse.

I stand by Hermione, Ginny, Seamus, Dean, and Ron on the outskirts of the hall. I can not see Harry from where I am standing but I'm sure someone has found him. When the whole school is gathered I have a better view of the situation. The teachers are lined up against one wall, the Death Eaters on another with the students as a whole gathered in the middle. It is repulsive to watch the Slytherins deciding whether to leave us or not. I was never close to any of them but I always hoped that they were decent people even if it was miles under their skin.

The hall has gone from a loud frenzy to nervous chatting as the minutes have passed. Times goes on like this where neither side knows what to do. Neither of our leaders are here to speak for the group. This problem is unfortunately solved when Voldemort apparates directly into the hall, right in front of the staff table. The hall in entirely silent now.

"Welcome, my fellow witches and wizards. Today I stand before you to offer you a choice, a choice that will determine your fate from here on out. I am a merciful lord, one that offers life to so many of you that deserve death. You will now sort into two groups, those who will serve me will move to the my right and those who will continue to oppose my rule may move to the left. This encludes my current followers and the staff here as well."

There is a pause before he moves his hand in a way that shows he wants us to go. There is no doubt in my mind what side I will choose whether it will lead to my death or not. When I glance at my friends and nod in agreement we all make our way to the right, his left hand side. We are watched by many people, the teachers who mourn our decision and some of the Death Eaters that laugh at us from across the room.

As expected, most of the Slytherins move to Voldemort's side including Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. Their parents are there as well but I do not pay them much attention since my gaze is focused on Bellatrix Lestrange. Even without looking I could tell that her voice was one of the ones that was mocking me moments ago. I would like to take this chance to rebel against this treatment but I know that I can be of use to no one if I'm dead.

Before long the crowds have settled on their sides and Voldemort gives himself a second to analyze his results.

"Well, well, this is a nice gathering," he says, addressing his right hand side. Many have changed alliances which is understandable. If I had a full family at stake I would probably be over there as well.

"Half of my previously marked followers will take this lot into an adjacent room to be categorized by name and blood status. The other half will remain here with me to determine this unruly lot's fate."

The orders are followed leaving me a little but less secure. One positive aspect is that Bellatrix has left the room. It's not much, but it helps.

"You are the lot that are ignorant enough to continue to fight me even though there is no hope left for you," he says, gazing off into a room we can not see. Moments pass before the whole room gasps as Harry is brought into the room, covered in chains and blood.

"You see? There is no hope left, your warrior has been captured and beaten, he is mine now."

So many questions race through my head but I know I can not dwell on them for long, I will be in the same condition as Harry soon.

"What has passed has passed but I do not wish to spill any more magical blood tonight. That being said, we must find a place for all of you. You will all be working members of this new world but you will all need guidance since clearly you aren't intelligent enough to make correct decisions on your own. Whether it be a business or an individual you will from this point on be owned by someone. Someone who will rule over you for the rest of your lives."

This is cruel, but how could I expect anything less from him.

"You were all so easily caught tonight, I think my followers deserve to have a treat for their service. There is an invisible boundary around the castle which will not allow you to leave it. You all will have a five minute head start to run or hide as you see fit before my precious Death Eaters have their way with you. Whoever they catch they can keep, a little treasure hunt as it were."

There is a round of laughter at the sound of this which ends in Voldemort's scary cackle.

"Your time starts now. I'd best get a move on. My Death Eaters won't be able to wait much longer."

At this our binds are released and we run. I don't know where I'm running to, I have no plan at all. Hermione and Seamus are beside me but we are soon cut off my the mob of terrified people. I dart to the left to run out the front door. I can see Hagrid's hut, I'll make it there, I'll make it...
