Notes: The background information in this fic is in these notes / letters / flashbacks / thoughts. Any information of this type will be labeled in the chapter names. Anything without a small, one words description is most likely a long 'real' chapter. Anything with this description will be short. The whole fic is not made up of these small pieces of information. The 'real' chapters should far outnumber the small tidbits on aside information. The first, full-length chapter is chapter 4 (in progress as of 25 jan. 08).

Journal Entries


3 October. 7th year

I can't believe how warped everything is. Voldemort attacked
Hogsmead and I wasn't even aloud to fight. I half expect that
Dumbledore wants me to go into the war unprepared. How
does he expect me to kill Voldemort? While I'm take ordinary
classes, Voldemort is gaining power!

I give up! I'm going to do this my way. Fuck what Dumbledore
wants, I cannot just sit back and watch the world die. I'm no
longer going to deal with all the deception and half-truths of
the head master.

I'm giving up my position as head boy.

I'm going to concentrate on what really matters.

5 October. 7th year

Ron is pissed.

Forget him.

I can do this on my own.

6 October. 7th year

Hermione is siding with Ron! I can't believe her. I'm not being
unreasonable. I'm going to the head master and demanding my
own study / training / living space. The tower isn't adequate anymore.

28 November. 7th year

I stopped going to classes last week because after weeks of
nothing my study and practice, I met Hogwarts' graduation
requirements. Ron is still being an ass and Hermione isn't
speaking to me because I get to graduate early.

Snape is teaching me more… dark… fighting methods. I'm
studying only what I need to win this war.

The dreams have gone away… I think they'll be back though.
Dumbledore insists that it is only stress but I don't believe him.

I've decided that I will leave Hogwarts after Yule. I've been to

London and I have found a place there. I'll be ready for whatever happens.

1 September 1st year

I've enrolled at university. Voldemort is planning something,
I can feel it. The dreams have been back for a while now.
Every night now. I'm ready.

8 June 2nd year.

New flat. No one knows where I am. It's perfect. Hedwig is
the only one who can find my new home. I'm so hidden even
Hermione wouldn't be able to find me.

Speaking of Mione, she's married to Ron. Big surprise, right?
They probably will have lots of red haired babies. Good for
them I guess.

Thinking of them reminds me that before I can have a loving
person to come home to, I have to kill a certain dark lord. It's
just too dangerous to be around me.

Hedwig has already brought home an message or two from The
Order. Voldemort is still planning something, no one knows what.
He has been quiet for far too long.

Classes have ended for now. I will have to spend time finding new
things to occupy my time. I've developed new interests since my
Hogwarts days. Free time in the summer might be fun for once.

The world cup is incredibly early this year. Maybe I'll go… just to be
an ass I'll try to intentionally piss Ron off if I see him there. Maybe the
twins will help. They were still nice to me. I haven't seen them in a long time.
