An American Year
Hell broke loose at Hogwarts. The time was 12 noon. Voldemort stormed down the Great Hall, silently and effectively. Death Eaters, dementors, werewolves, and loyal followers and his hideous creatures fed on students. With each step, his snake-like eyes darted to each student, glaring them down. With each step he killed a mudblood. With each step he killed professors. With each step he killed all that opposed. With his last step he faced a cold hearted, trembling, scowling boy. A point of his long bony fingers reached the gray eyed youth.
"You," said Voldemort.
"You can join me…join me and my power. My creations will follow you faithfully. Take a look around, all this can be yours…" said Voldemort with a wave of his hand. So many hideous creatures filled the Great Hall. Blood dripped from their gapping mouths. Some were still viciously eating students away.
And Lucius Malfoy held the neck of Dumbledore. Close to death. White. Crippled. His bright blue eyes, pleading. Pleading not to go over. Over to the Dark. His eyes seemed to be saying, "Take a look around. Do you wish o be responsible for this? Do you wish to be responsible for the new horrors?"
The boy stood and looked around. The Boy Who Lived is dead. So many heads torn off. So much blood. There was even blood on his hand. He realized something. Something that sparked his mind. Something snapped. He bowed his head. Two awful words could be heard.
"Forgive me."
Those two words changed history.
In an instant, Dumbledore was killed. The magical world will be no longer what everyone remebers it to be.
With that apology to Dumbledore, he joined the Dark Side, bringing Voldemort and his creations to power once again.
This time, Voldemort had an heir.

Athanasia slumped over in her hospital bed after her sharpening scream. Her head was in pain. Nurses and doctors rushed over, wiping sweat off of her back. Faces cloud her view of the light. The gruesome scene that played out was just another premonition.
"Just another premonition…ha. When is any thing JUST a premonition?" whispered Athanasia.
"What did you say? Are you okay? What happened? Are you hurt?" The questions went on and on.
"Yeah…I'm fine. I don't know what happened. I'm fine. Leave me alone," muttered Athanasia.
Yeah, fine my ass. Would YOU muggles feel fine after you saw the future? The future of the beginning of how our world is going to crumble? Would you be okay? God…I wish…I wish I stayed. Why did I have to come back? Just w-
"HONEY!"
My pathetic parents. Again.
"Are you all right? Are you? Oh, hon-"
"I'm fine. Just tired. Can you leave me alone? Mom? Dad?" interrupted Athanasia.
How about leaving me forever?
"Sure. We understand. Why were you screaming? Was it about you-know-who?
"I'll explain later."
How about in 10 years?
"Sure. Sure. I'll be at your side, don't you worry."
WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE? I NEED TO THINK. I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM EVERYONE! GO!
"I'd rather be alone."
Be alone and try to figure these things out.
"Of course…I'll get a bite to eat. Are you sure you are fine?"
"Yeah, bad dream, nightmare, daymare, er whatever."
"Okay, I'll be back."
"Mmmmhmmm…"
The nurse quietly closed the door, her parents following her.
Athanasia sighed with a breath of relief as she put her raven head back on the pillows. As she close her eyes, one can see that her blue eyes were clouded with concern. Thoughts swarmed around her head. It was too confusing to figure out. To confusing to think.
Was that an actual premonition? It felt so much like one and yet not at all. Am I evil? Why did it come now? God. Why must I endure these spells? Am I an actual diviner? Will I ever be accepted? Or will I end up like an old bat like Professor Griolati?
Soft classical music started up and broke her thoughts.
She sat up and smiled. The music actually calmed her. Until a snake like voice can be heard.
"Concino exsuperabilise alicunde olim…"
Over and over again it said these phrases. Beckoning her.
Athanasia strained to hear the voice. Then she figured it out.
The future can be prevented by the past.
Now what does that mean?
