Prologue
I sit cowering in a dark corner. I should feel safe but I can still hear fighting. The battle isn't won yet. Sneaking back into Hogwarts was a bad idea- possibly one of my worst but there is no point regretting it now.
I should start by describing myself- I am a small first year with knee length black hair and grey-blue eyes. I am in Ravenclaw but I am not particularly smart as you can probably tell. I am a pureblood so I could already do some magic before I came to Hogwarts. I knew too much for a first year anyway, I was moved up a year within a few weeks even though professor Carrow strongly advised me to stay.
I don't know how I got into this mess or why I snuck back into the castle. Maybe I thought that I could fight but thinking about fighting seems stupid- even to me.
I can hear someone in the corridor near me but it is too late to find a better hiding place. If they see me, it doesn't matter, I am only a first year. Hopefully they wont attack me.
Nobody seems to be here though so I might go and have a quick peek around the corner…
