Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
-Terry Pratchett
Prologue
Darkness is a complex thing, though most people see it in black and white. Darkness means bad and is not to be trifled with. This is correct in a sense, but darkness is far more faceted than that. It can plague anybody, and it does. What's important though, is whether or not somebody chooses to emulate it or they try to be a good person that does good things in the course of their life.
Some people are so beset with it that they go mad, reveling in the power that the seductress, Darkness promises them in return for their free will and morality. The power is so tempting that they simply can't say no. Once confronted by darkness one cannot let it go and will not let it go, no matter how far it takes them.
This story will explore how someone who has high moral standards, a fierce loyalty, and is as innocent as one can be during times of war, can be so quickly tempted by darkness, because it seems that there is no other alternative.
This is the story of Hermione Granger and her entrance and return from darkness and the trials and tribulations that entail.
A/N: I hope this is well written, I've been working on my writing. The next chapter should be up by tomorrow because I am so anxious to get this story out, as it's been in my mind for almost a year now. R&R- AA
