Prologue

There are some things that we do in life that we can never take back; no matter how much we regret them. There are some people in life that we can never get back, despite how many times we apologize or how many times we beg. There are mistakes in life that we can never correct.

Love, being one of the strongest emotions a person can possess, is one of those things. If you love someone more than life itself and you let them go, you can never get them back. Love can cause you to do the craziest things. Love may very well become the source of your biggest mistakes.

This is a story of how a girl found true love and then threw it away. This is a story of how she came to understand the true meaning of love and its importance and why so many people believe in it. It's a story of heartbreak and of unrequited love but above all, a romance tinged with missed opportunities and regretful mistakes.

I am Narcissa Malfoy.

And this is my story.
