This story is dedicated to my cousin, Kayla, for she did ALL of the research for me. This wouldn't be possible without her. She also came up with the title.
Authors Note: I don't know what exactly I have planned for this story, but there is a chance it will be really dark. It will probably turn into a Snarry, really later one when Harry is older and everything.
Warnings that this story might contain: Non con, slash, possible extreme chan, torture, strong language. That's all I can think of off the top of my head; warnings will be posted in each chapter, according to what it contains.
Clipped Wings: Prologue
"There isn't much to say about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, also known as You-Know-Who, The Dark Lord, and Lord Voldemort. Nobody really knows what he went through as a child, or how he grew up; it is rumored that he grew up in an orphanage. Nobody can be sure though, as anybody who knows too much is killed on the spot.
The Dark Lord was born December 31st, 1926 and started his first year of Hogwarts in 1938 where he was sorted into Slytherin. Lord Voldemort was a model student; he became Prefect and Head Boy later and had fantastic grades all through Hogwarts. Lord Voldemort gained himself a bunch of thuggish Slytherins that would later become the early Death Eaters. He graduated from Hogwarts in 1945.
Lord Voldemort started officially recruiting Death Eaters in 1970. Sometime during 1981 a Death Eater overheard of a prophesy leading him to attempt to kill the Potter family. Lily and James Potter were killed by the killing curse, but the baby, Harry Potter, was unable to be killed. Instead of being killed, the baby somehow rebounded the killing curse, sending the Dark Lord into a much weaker being.
Nobody is sure what exactly had happened during that time, but it is said that the Dark Lord attached himself to snakes to stay alive, until he came across Quirnius Quirrell. After attaching himself to Quirrell they broke into Gringotts and stole the philosopher's stone. Lord Voldemort then used it to resurrect himself, killing Quirrell in the process.
In 1983 The Dark Lord and his Death Eaters went to the Ministry and killed everybody there, except his spies, and took over power. Since then the times have been dark. Muggles and mudbloods are executed on the spot, or sold into slavery. Slaves consist of men, women, and sometimes even small children; however, if the slave is too small or two weak to do slave's work, they are executed in front of other slaves.
Anybody who opposes The Dark Lord openly is taken into the middle of a busy street and tortured to death in front of everybody, as a warning to civilians. Sometimes, not even the purebloods are safe.
Yes folks, dark times are upon us…"
