Chapter One
The grounds of Hogwarts were cold and icy. Kind of reminds me of him. His eyes filled with mystery, intrigued me to no end. But I would never tell him that. I'm a Slytherin; we hide our feelings behind our icy glares and hateful words. It's not our fault, we're programmed this way.
I walk out onto the snowy bank of the lake. I think about all the twists and turns my life has taken in order to get where I am. I guess the coldness of my family got me this far. My family never cared for my magic. They said it was Satan's work. Typical muggles. I finally broke ties with them. He helped. He helped my find somewhere to stay.
I owe a lot to him. That is why I have to make this decision. Should I follow his lead and become the typical Death Eater Slytherin, or should I make my own path?
I look at the pristine snow. So beautiful, so pure. I can almost picture battles taken place on it, blood spilling on the snow.
Innocent lives will be taken in this war. And I know I will do everything in my power to save lives.
I walk back into the castle, determined to write Severus a letter. I have chosen what side. Now, all I have to do is stick to it.
