GOF/OOTF/HBP/DH spoilers

The world lays quiet, "The Dark Lord" has been gone for nearly fifteen years. Then the appearance of the child that he tried to kill that night returns. He is the same age as Draco, Harry Potter. Innocence incarnate, what I lost over the years to survive. I know looking at him that day in the Quidditch cup, he would be the best and worst thing that could happen to the Blacks and Malfoys

I still remember the world

From the eyes of a child

Slowly those feelings

Were clouded by what I know now

My sister Bella returns to me, beautiful but not as beautiful as she once was. Her eyes are haunted, her face gaunt, her hair dull and graying. I give her robes and she leaves for her "love" without much conversation. That night she returns eyes shining basking in his praise. She asks me what became of our family, and I tell her. Mother and Father died shortly after her being sent to Azkaban, Our cousin who was sent to Azkaban escaped

Andromeda remains married to Ted Tonks, the baby was a girl named Nymphadora, and I tell her of Draco "I will have to prune our tree when I have a chance" she replies a mad gleam in her makes me shiver inside. The amazon warrior has returned time for war is upon us.

Where has my heart gone

An uneven trade for the real world

I want to go back to

Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

My husband has been arrested for his part in a mission, I am alone now with our son. I worry desperately for him. Growing up mother had taught me how to gather information, and learn what it means. Every indication that I have received in casual conversation indicated the"Dark Lord" is angry and wishes to harm my husband through our son. I have been silent too long, I must act now, and I must seek help.

I still remember the sun

Always warm on my back

Somehow it seems colder now

I finally break in the small home of my friend Severus Snape. I beg him to protect my son when my worst fears were confirmed. I bound him to an unbreakable vow. Bella who came with me bound us together. I silently pray forgiveness for putting my friend in such a position, but my son's safety was the only thing that mattered.

Where has my heart gone

Trapped in the eyes of a stranger

I want to go back to

Believing in everything

My worst fear has come true. "The Dark Lord" has become the worst thing that happed to my family. He takes our home, threatens my husband with our son, and forces our son to deal punishments and keeps his hands clean. He ordered the crucio on our sister Andromeda for the whereabouts of the other side, and murders her husband. He also taunts Bella into promising to end our niece's life for marring a werewolf and bearing him a son. I silently weep for what I know will come. I cannot help, I chose to protect my own family over them a long time ago.

He singled us out for taunting and humiliation, at our table no less. I act uncaring, but I vow he will not be the end of my family. I get my chance at the end of a long battle at the Hogworts School. He appears to have killed the boy Harry. I take this chance to know where my son is and if he stills lives. He promises he does live and he was in the school, in return I claim him dead. The first change given Lucius and I run to the school shouting his name and do not stop until he is found. My heart silently breaks when I see Bella has lost her life in her cause. I also see our niece and her husband on the floor in the great hall still and cold.

My family survives persecution and thrives through it all. My sister Andromeda survives she and her grandson are the last ones of her family. Merlin help us both to rebuilt our lives
