Fan Fiction ❯ Chaos Factor ❯ Past Prologue ( Prologue )

Lady Knight3's A/N: Hi! This is only my second story and my very 1st Harry Potter fic. So I'd really like nice reviews, with constructive criticism. Flames will be used to heat my dorm room this winter. As always, Harry Potter and Co. is the property of J.K. Rowling and I'm making no money off of them. If you want to sue me and inherit my student loans, more power to ya.

~*Prologue*~

The school was under attack. He moved swiftly through the corridors, his robes swishing behind him like a serpent's tail, side stepping rubble and the bodies of students that lay strewn in the halls. None of them was her body, that's all that should matter-- yet he couldn't help but feel…guilt? All this was his fault. If he hadn't given in to petty jealousies and prejudices, he'd have been here to help them protect the students and the school-- their dream.

He moved carefully, stealthily towards his goal. The others were already in position, unaware that he had returned to complete the circle and release the power hidden in Hogwarts. The power to save it, them, her, was almost in his grasp. It was an untested spell, but if- no -when it worked…. Approaching the concealed door he hissed the words to open it and step into the small chamber as the door resealed itself. In the middle of the room stood a pedestal, made of green marble. Placing his hand atop the pedestal, he closed his eyes to align his energy with that of the others. A small smirk passed over his lips as he felt their shock at recognition. Fools. His heart was not that cold. Still smirking he joined with them in the chant.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It worked! The school, the students, his friends, she, was safe. No, not safe. Doomed. It was too much; the spell required too much energy it was locking a couple of them in! It was locking her in! No this cannot be, he wouldn't allow it. Let it have me, let me atone for my sins…Slowly he felt the others melt away then there was nothing but eternal sleep…. eternal darkness. Forgive me…my…love…
