Checkmate G I do not own this.

I'm tired of being a pawn. I'm tired of Dumbledore's manipulations. But most of all I'm tired of being alone.
Sirius is dead. Remus, dead. Neville, dead.
Ron and Hermoine got together. I'm happy for them, but now they ignore me.

Sometimes I think the only one who doesn't ignore me is Malfoy. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I took his hand so long ago.
No matter. I'm taking his hand now.
Voldemort may be evil, but he won't ignore me. He won't use me as a pawn.
Or even if he does, he'll tell me.
He won't use my friends against me.
