356 Days of Drabbles Challenge: Prompt Used – Trick
I want to shout about how I was tricked. I never wanted to join the Death Eaters but Barty tricked me, preyed on my weakness, my thirst for a family that wouldn't leave me.
It would have been easy to blame my situation wholly on Barty, and even if he did knowingly prey on my weakness, I had been aware of the manipulation from the beginning. I still chose to become a Death Eater, though.
As I read the text and realize how twisted the Dark Lord has become, going so far as to actually split his soul, I know I can't blindly follow him any longer. It's too dangerous, and if the Dark Lord actually does gain control of the wizarding world, I just know that the world I love will be destroyed forever.
I need to try to stop him, and the only way I know how is by taking away him immortality. I swallow down a lump, knowing I'm about to go on a suicide mission, but there's nothing else that I can do. It's time to go Horcrux hunting.
