Little Black Sheep

Prologue

By Liz S.

I never really thought it would end this way… me being the heroine for the hero. All I really ever wanted was to save my father and be a family again, but it never turned out to be that way.

"Expelliarmus!" I barely yelled my attack as the man with pale skin and red eyes circled me. His smile was amused and malicious. He knew I wouldn't win because he wasn't going to be defeated by a scrawny seventeen year old girl.

I looked around me, to see sparks of spells explode across the grounds. My friends, my beloved friends, were fighting to not only save their lives, but for the downfall of his. He was supposed to fight this with me, everyone together, but fate didn't go as planned. He died at the pale hands of the red eyed man. All of this started when I was eleven, I didn't think I would have actual friends I would want to protect, a family to save, someone I love to avenge…so maybe it wouldn't that bad to die now, surrounded by my only friends and finishing my love's work.

"Stupify!" I screamed as a green flash passed my head.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to die for something worth protecting…to die for good, for the downfall of pure evil, to die for someone's dreams…

Suddenly the evil man stopped as his glowing lava eyes averted towards a different matter and I had to look too, what was so important to him? A roar of fury rang through the air as the woman with the crooked crazy smile and black hair dropped to the stone ground, her eyes glittering with the ghost of death. I snapped my head around back to the pale man to be thrown back by an invisible force along with the rest of the teachers with me. My back brutally banged the gray stone wall, it soon turning a bright ruby red. A sharp pain rippled through my skull and a metallic liquid filled my mouth.

I couldn't go down yet though. I had to finish him off, for the boy. I just had too. I stumbled up as I heard a voice I thought I would never hear again echo off the walls.

"Protego!"

He was alive… the war was going to end… but who would it take with it?

The two wizards circled one another, their gazes sharp and their voices hidden from my ears. I could see the red eyed man scoff at what the boy said, not believing anything. The pacing stopped and two spells were exchanged, yet one was released faster.

I leaped up, ready to save him, to fulfill my destiny. I dived in front of him, the green ball hurtling towards me and the boy's attack coming for my back.

"Emily!" his perfect voice rang through my ears, it holding fear and worry.

I looked over at his shinning emerald eyes and messy black coal hair, my death only a second away. A smile slipped on my face, my last one I would give. Suddenly I felt an excruciating impact on my chest and spine. The world faded, him still screaming my name. It was worth it, dying for someone I loved dearly…

I never thought it would end this way…

{Author's Note}

I know that this isn't as nearly as good as many other stories I've seen, but I thought I would give it a try. I also don't own ANY of J.K. Rowling's characters, world, or anything in her books or the movies! The first few chapter will be VERY similar to the book and will gradually change. You'll see why. I wanted some input seeing as I only have three chapters so far. Any comments are welcome! Thank you for reading
