Daughter of Dark Magic

by Gabriel Tannin

Cadence never knew her Father After her Mother's sudden murder she learns of her true heritage and moves to London for safety from the Death Eaters that hunt her. She finds few to trust at Hogwarts, and is unsure if she can trust those that claim to love.

1. Flashes

The title of this installment (the first) of Cadence's story has changed. The next installment (the second) will be called Daughter of Dark Magic and Pure Blood, sorry if there is any confusion.

There is a light that I often see in my dreams. I wonder, is it the flashing light that is said to be seen before death comes, is it the light that brings back the memories of my life and how I lived it, or is it simply a flash—a realization of something that has been troubling me for a long time, something like my Father or my Mother?

I never knew my Father. Sometimes, when I was very young, I often wondered how I ever came to be on this Earth. My Mother never spoke of him, but from what I understood he was not a good man. He left her when she was young and pregnant with me. She couldn't take the heart ache and moved to America to escape him.

Sometimes, I wish I didn't have that flash in my dreams. If I didn't see the blinding light, I wouldn't wonder what it meant. I wouldn't think about my life and wonder what I could have done better, what I could have found out and what I could have seen. I wouldn't think about my Father and how much I wanted to forget about him the moment I found out who he was…I just wish that I didn't know. I wish for some many things to have been different.
