A/N: Will – if I can manage it – be a one-of-a-kind unique story with elements I – and many others – have never come across in Harry Potter fandom before. I'm posting this now despite Family Trait and unfinished planning. I will take it down temporarily if no interest for it arises. I will add warnings here as they come along. Read them! /Iiv


Prologue:


His life was supposed to change, dramatically, that year. He had finally gotten what he'd wished for since years back. However, fate had a nasty way of playing with his life slightly more than with others. And surely it would continue to do so. What had him so mysterious, however, was the so disgustingly simple answer of fate's games.

As fate went by the name of Albus Dumbledore.

The grandfatherly looking wizard with the kind blue eyes had in a matter of a few seconds erased that dream of his coming true, and there was nothing he or his friends could do to stop it. They could merely watch on in suppressed silence as the very happiness was sucked out of him, so very similar like a Dementor. Both metaphorically and literally.

He despised the cold creatures like the middle ages' plague.

But no matter how much white searing hate and anger he felt towards them, his Headmaster and the rest of the disgustingly cheery world had the power to stop the events he was now, once more, a first hand witness of. He himself couldn't stop his world from crumbling beneath his feet.

So, as it was, Harry Potter could merely watch as his godfather received the Dementor's Kiss.


A/N: Don't worry, chapter one will be posted right after this one. You'll probably understand a little more about the story within the coming chapters. If not, ask! Read&Review /Iiv
