Prologue : Of Lemon Drops and Swimming with the Fish

ooooo

Lemon drops; sweet and calming, with a hint of sour. There is a comforting familiarity that I've always had with lemon drops. Of sitting in a warmly lit office, letting the sweetness of the draught laced candy calm me.

Memories of small talk, topics so mundane. Like different colored socks and of which Quidditch team I'd be rooting for. This is what lemon drops tasted like.

Only once, on a late August night had a lemon drop ever tasted so bitter. One could say it was that bitter lemon drop that changed the fates of many.

I wouldn't disagree.

It changed mine. It changed the course of not only my life but that of those who would shape the future for which I called past. I'd have no say in these choices that would define who I become.

For I would be swimming with the fish.

ooooo

So, here's the prologue of my first chaptered fanfiction.
