Yes, I know. I'm writing several fics at the same time, I know. But this idea for this fic wouldn't leave me alone, so here it is. This is only the Prologue, if it gets popular, I will post Chapter one tomorrow. :)

                      BTW: A huge thanks to my beta, Malfoyleviosa! I love you!

                      Read and Review, please.

                      Legal notice: Harry Potter and all other characters belong to J.K. Rowling, and last time I checked; I wasn't her. I'm absolutely not using her ideas, or characters, to earn money. So, please don't sure me.

                      Prologue

                     Rowena was sleeping peacefully on her bed when soft knockings were heard. Rowena stirred but did not wake.

It knocked again, but this time, it was a bit harder. Rowena slowly woke up. She fluttered her eyes open while moaning slightly.  She just had such a wonderful dream; but now, she couldn't even remember what it was about, nor could she remember why she woke up.

                     That was until the knockings were heard again. She turned in her bed facing the door before calling out a soft "Come in."

                     Godric, her soon-to-be husband, walked in. "Rowena, my love," he said. "I'm sorry, but I have to go for a journey to London.  After that, I must head of for Glasgow. Jonah told me there was trouble and they need me in the front…"

                     Rowena sighed deeply. "Godric, in five days our wedding is to be.  Shall you be back?"

                     "Of course I will, my love. Of course I will," Godric replied as he bent down and kissed her deeply, "and if not, I will be back before our children are to be born."

                     Rowena smiled. "Then you go. The faster you go, the faster you will be back."

                     Godric smiled as well, while taking of his locket that he always wore – it was one of his most precious belonging. He had gotten it from Rowena herself.   It had been made especially for him. No one else but Godric could open it - and gave it back to Rowena. As she opened her mouth to complain, he broke her off. "So you know that I will be back. When I return, I will come back for you and to get my locket."

                     Rowena took it and pressed it against her heart. "Then I will protect it with my life until you come back."

                     Godric kissed her softy on her lips before turning to leave.

                     "Godric…?" Rowena called quietly. He stopped and turned his head to see what she wanted. "With my life I will protect it. And with my love it shall be safe."

                     Godric smiled as he turned to leave.
