Prologue

Albus Dumbledore led the Aurors through the forest, with Alastor Moody opposite him. They had been given a tip-off that had lead them to these woods in Italy, hopefully they would be able to weaken Grindlewald so that his 'army' would just disperse and be captured later. They were coming up to a clearing where they could overhear men talking in strong British accents. They listened closely to the conversation.

"You are sure that we weren't followed?" Asked one man, with a Scottish lilt to his voice. The man next to him muttered something that sounded like a 'yes', but didn't seem sure about it. "The master wishes for us to go to him, he wants to give us our orders personally this time." He said bluntly. "Follow me."

Dumbledore signalled to Alastor to follow them as soon as they were a safe distance away. This was not a good plan though, for it seemed that it had been a ploy and as soon as Albus had started to follow them they turned and sent spells flying.

Albus shouted for the other men to come quickly, for he had been a pace ahead of the others. The Socttish man, however, sent an unforgivable curse flying at him and it was all Albus could do to send another back at him. "Avada Krevada!" He shouted.

The other man had long since fled, as he didn't seem to be as powerful as his companion. While the Aurors were scouting around to make sure that no other ambush would take place he stepped forward to search the man for something by which he could be identified. He bent down and rummaged through the man's pockets, with a feeling that the man reminded him of someone on closer inspection. He found something, slightly crumpled, in the breast pocket of the man's coat…a photograph…of Minerva McGonagall!

Then it dawned on him how he knew the man, and how he remembered him! He had taught Andrew McGonagall not even 6 years ago, and now he was fighting for Grindlewald! The McGonagalls must either not know, or want to keep it a secret that he was on the wrong side, and now he would have to explain to Minerva why he had killed him, and she would never forgive him!

I realise that that was quite short, but I just wanted to gauge the interest in this kind of story, so please give me a review!
