Dislaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, it belongs to J.K. Rowling, the literary genius.

Searching for Serenity

I draw my knees up to my chest, and peer around the enormous garden.

It is my escape, my little haven.
My father does not come outside often. He prefers to hole himself up in his private chambers when he is not serving You-Know-Who.
Yes, I do call him that. He is no Lord. He is just a murderer. A manipulater. I joined to protect my mother, and now that she is dead, I do not want to return.
Muggle-baiting used to be fun, but now it seems pointless. I cannot enjoy it any more, and I see no point in torturing them if it is not going to do me any good.
My father has been getting very angry. I come out here to get away from him, to think.
Think freely.

Think how I think, not how father thinks.
How Voldemort thinks.

The garden is beautiful in the summer. The flowers have bloomed, and the animals are lurking in and by the pond.
The garden is free, how I want to be.
The garden has found it's point and purpose in life.
I am still searching.
Searching for peace, quiet, tranquility.
Searching for serenity.

Please review if you have time, it would make my day.
