Authors note: I do not own any characters created by J.K. Rowling. Full credit goes to her for all situations and information mentioned in any of the 7 books or interviews, etc. as well. However, the storyline of this fanfic is all me and the little voice in my head.
*year 4 - age 15*
"He's back"
And then my whole world changed.
What had, until then, been nothing but an unpleasant memory of the entire wizarding world, was now suddenly turning into an actual, all-to-real threat.
Eventhough for me it wasn't such a distant memory (Harry had fought him in our first ànd second year after all), it was stil a treath I hadn't actually encountered yet.
And I had been hoping to keep it that way.
The names I had been called from time to time during the last four years, had always been just that: names.
But now they had become something like a mark, setting me apart from my friends.
Showing to the whole world that I was one of those most likely to be-
But no.
I wasn't to think like that.
After all, we would have time to prepare, we would fight, we would-
But how - and why - did he come back? Why now?
And what would his return mean exactly?
For Hogwarts?
For my friends?
For my parents?
For me?
Would this really, truly be the end of our 'normal life'? (if you could even call our lifes up to now normal)
I realised I knew close to nothing about what had happened the last time.
I had no idea how bad things might get, or how many people we might loose.
I didn't know how frightened I should be, because I didn't know anything else either.
And that in itself frightened me too.
I promised myself I would look into it.
But not until I got home.
Not until I'd had a chance to enjoy my last days here.
Not until I had walked all these corridors, stairs and hallways once more.
Not until I had looked around the great hall and seen the people mourning Cedric Diggory.
Not until I had watched the two other schools leave, wondering if we would ever see any of them again.
Not until I had really, really taken in Hogwarts before the war that I knew would come.
The war that would probably change everything.
The war that we would have to fight in, because it was our future that was at stake.
The war that would determine for many of us whether or not we had a future.
So I looked around, I saw the people, I read the books, and I knew:
"He's back"
That's all for today folks :) But you can't complain, you got 6 chapters in one day. Again: I can't promise when I'll be able to update again, life is pure chaos right now, so I'm just happy I got these out. As usual: please let me know what you thought by reviewing, following and/or favoriting. And thank you for reading!
Greetings!
