A/N: Hi, so this is a new story that has been sitting unpublished for a while now. It's a lot different then what I normally write so bear with me. I know what you're thinking if you've read any of my other fics. 'But Val, you suck at updating three stories, how on earth are you going to juggle four? Does this mean Laugh it Off is discontinued?' The answer is I have no idea, and no. But I need to change things up a bit.

Into the Night

Summary: "I hadn't planned on killing anyone, not yet at least." Pxyis has been waiting to join the Dark Lord since she could wave a wand, but with the oncoming war, impending wedding and possible change of heart will she choose what's right over what's loyal?

Prologue

I stared at my reflection in the mirror on the opposite wall of my bedroom, searching for imperfections. My hair was neatly done, my makeup was nearly flawless and my dress had been pressed and tailored earlier just for today. I twisted the ring on my finger and rubbed the modestly sized emerald in the middle, hoping it would go away.

Finding nothing of great importance, I took my handbag and went downstairs to find him waiting for me. He wore black robes and hid his eyes behind a curtain of hair. I nodded in his direction and reluctantly took his arm.

As we apparated, I was sure I could hear church bells clanging in the distance. It was nearly noon, though the sun was hidden behind a mass of clouds and a thin stream of snow. It would have been an ideal day if I were ready for any of this. My seventeenth year was suiting up to be the worst nightmare ever created. I'd always had my money to fall back on, but even that wouldn't relieve me of this engagement.

I stepped in front of him and closed my hand around the bag, feeling for my wand.

"It's terrible luck to see the bride before the wedding."
