Do I Regret it?
Disclaimer: No, I am not J.. I do not own Harry Potter or any part of the series. I also do not own American Dragon: Jake Long from which I got the idea of a person being able to tranform into a dragon. Other than that idea, this story is in no way related to American Dragon: Jake Long. Thank You.
AN: This story will contain little to no romance (if this story does contain some romance it will not be slash either).
Prologue:
One year.
Its amazing how much can change in such a short amount of time.
A mere year ago, I would never have imagined I would be where I am now. Standing here. On the stone rail of the astronomy tower. Ready to end it all.
The past before all this madness came to be feels more like a dream than anything.
Simplicity and the ability to be carefree have become foreign concepts to me.
True, my life had never been normal or necessarily easy.
My parents died when I was a little over the age of one, I grew up with relatives that despised me, and at age eleven I discovered I was a wizard and famous in a world I had never heard of. Soon after, I was whisked off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn magic. There I saved the sorcerer's stone, slayed a basilisk, helped a falsely-accused escaped convict evade the authorities, participated in a lethal school tournament, watched the rebirth of the greatest dark wizard of the age, survived, and, as of two weeks ago, fought off dark wizards at the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries.
Still though, in spite of everything, normal things such as school work and girls (Cho Chang particularly) had still been the greatest of my worries most of the time.
I still had been able to sit back and laugh a genuine lighthearted laugh back then too.
It's been awhile since I've laugh such a laugh; July 3, 1995 to be exact.
That day changed the life of me and my friends as we knew it. In those short 24hrs, black and white mixed into gray, moral codes began to scramble, what normality I had vanished, my humanity became lost for good, and, above all, a friendship began to turn into a lifeline. A lifeline that, throughout the year gave me hope, and now, tugs on my mind, preventing me from taking the leap into eternity.
Yes, that day, through many cause and effects, has brought me to where I am today. There is no questioning that. However, the real question though is: Do I regret it?
AN: This prologue and the next few chapters that follow are subjected to change (and lengthening) and, if feedback is poor, deletion. I'm sorry but I often find myself busy and I dont want to keep up with posting a story regularly, if no one cares for it. Thank You and sorry again.
Happy Holidays! :)
