So here I am, writing another Harry Potter story. No main pairing which is a bit weird for me. But here goes, For the Greater Good.

Chapters are likely to be short so if you like long chapter stories then this really isn't the story for you. I hope you enjoy it anyway. Please review.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

My name is Ariana Dumbledore.

I had two brothers, Albus and Aberforth. My parents were Kendra and Percival. My home was in Godric's hollow. I was only very young when I died and it wasn't my brothers' fault.

Those boys who attacked me didn't mean any harm. I don't blame them for anything although they did ruin most of my life. I am very sorry that my father went to Azkaban for hurting them and I wish he had never done it but I can't change that.

Aberforth was always my favourite. He could calm me down when no one else could. I loved Albus too of course but he was always pre-occupied, doing something else. I don't blame him either, who would want to look after their mad sister? He was just doing it for the Greater Good.

And there it is; the Greater Good. These words have such an effect on the world that we know. I don't mind dying, most people are better off without me. But I was first. It was me.

I was the first person to die for the Greater Good.

Author's note: yeah, sorry about how short this is. I promise the next chapters won't be as short. I think it is only because we don't know much about Ariana. Don't worry; the next chapters will be longer. I am only doing main characters so I won't be doing ones that are only mentioned in passing like many of Voldemort's victims. I will try and put them in order of death.

Thanks for reading; I promise this story will get better. Please review, for the Greater Good :)
