Confessions of a Death-eater

Chapter 1

       "I'd never done a crazy thing in my life before that night. Why is it, that when a man kills another man in battle it's called heroic but when a man kills another man in the heat of passion it's called murder?"

-Wayne's World

       Sergeant Dan Caldwell was shaking with sweat. Today was the day that Lord Voldemort had asked him to kill one of the Bones-Madam Bone (pronounced like you're saying Bad to the Bone). He had loved Madam Sestina Bone like a sister when he had gone to Hogwarts himself. He didn't want to kill her. But, he had no choice. It was either that or the fiery hell that was Lord Voldemort's very own slammer.

       Yes, HE had his own prison for the Death-eaters that disobeyed him but were valuable Death eaters that could not be killed (A/N: Wow, what a run-on sentence!) Dan definitely didn't want to go there. He had visited one of his friends there. There were fire-spitting demons everywhere; screams filled the room as the monsters burned them…but not enough to kill them. The Dark Lord visited those that had been in there quite some time, and tortured them until they had learned their lesson. Then they were free to come back.

       No, sir, Dan definitely did NOT want to go there as a prisoner. But he had to make one stop before the journey to torture the Bones for information.

       He went into Godric's Hollow to visit his third cousin, Lily. She was married to James Potter and they recently had had a son named Harry. Harry was a very cute baby, and when Dan held Harry in his arms and watched him smile at him, he wished for a fleeting instant that he had his own child.

       He knocked on the door. He waited for a little while, but no one answered. The tried to open the door, but he had barely touched it when it inched open.

       He went inside and found nothing but ruins. Bits of parchment here and there, and some baby toys left on the ground. It looked like they had fled.

       But why did they need to run off? thought Dan to himself as he entered Harry's bedroom. The crib was still there. He heard a little bit of soft baby laughter and a mother singing a lullaby.

       OK, this is getting sort of freaky!!! he thought, scratching his head and exiting. The whispers echoed around the room as he headed for the door, and he stopped dead in his tracks as he listened to James.

       "Remus, I assure you, Voldemort will not find us," said James voice. But where was James? Dan entered the dining room and saw Remus Lupin facing a blank space. Lupin saw him and poked the air. James' voice hissed "Get out, Dan! I know what you're up to and you all want to kill us! GET OUT AND LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE!!!!" He felt something invisible push him out the door.

       "B-but…" he stuttered, "I didn't know…I swear I didn't know…"

       But James was evidently not listening, because the door slammed in Caldwell's face.

       Dan, taken aback, headed off to the Bones house.

       Dan slouched back home. When the Bones didn't tell him information, even under the Imperius Curse, he was forced to kill them. He never felt worse in his life, feeling bad about killing them. He was a Death-Eater, for crying out loud! He shouldn't feel sympathy toward anyone!!!!!

       He sighed as fell facedown on his bed. Nothing was going right.
