A/N: Inspired by TVTropes. While I did not create the name of Ivory Light Innocence Dove Way, the infamous "My Immortal," or Harry Potter in general, the rest of this story is mine. And yes, the title is taken from a Hilary Duff song. No, I haven't listened to it, nor do I actually like Hilary Duff. I realize that means that I'm probably not the best person to be undertaking this project, but in my experience, real preps don't write fan fiction since they have real lives, and I was a prep for about three days in middle school, so I have done a bit of field research.

I write these words by the bedside of my poor, deluded sister Ebony, in an attempt to explain the events that led to her current condition. I know that she has tried to tell the world how it happened, but by then her mental state had regressed to the point where she was completely unintelligible. If she does remember what happened, I have seen no evidence of it.

So the story you are about to read is true. It is an account of what happened at Hogwarts in 2006, when the world went mad, the Death Eaters made a brief resurgence, and my sister lost her mind. It is the story of two lost girls and the people who tried to help them while only making things worse. It is my story as well as Ebony's.

My name is Ivory Light Innocence Dove Way. My sister is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. We were seventeen when it happened, in our final year at Hogwarts, and with no idea what horrors were going to fall upon us.

Or maybe she knew. I certainly didn't, and now I will never find out if she had seen it coming.
