Harry Potter - Series Fan Fiction ❯ The Chosen Ones ❯ Prologue. How it all started and ended ( Prologue )

I was lying on the floor covered in blood and...

Stop, stop, stop! I'll start from the beginning.

I'm Elizabeth Riddle! Interesting name, isn't it? I think so too. And I even know who you thought about when you heard it.

The daughter of the famous Dark Lord, who was doomed to suffer for the sins of her father.

It all started when I was 5. My mother and I always lived in love, she told me stories from her life. Of course, until the moment she ended up with Voldemort.

Mom loved me. We lived in a small house "at the end of the Earth," as she said. True, it turned out that this is not the end of the Earth at all, but just the coast of France. Our home was not far from the second Malfoy Manor, where they came for the summer, and sometimes for the winter. They agreed to give us this refuge, because my mother, Adelia, was a close friend of Narcissa Malfoy during her school years.

Every time they came, me and Draco spent all the time together, climbing trees, playing in the grass, and sometimes going to their garden. In the evenings, Mother told us stories, and Narcissa added to them. These were the best memories. This was my childhood.

July 12, 1986. Night.

I woke up from a loud sound as if someone had knocked down the door. Suddenly, I realized what had happened and ran to my mother's room. She quickly began to explain to me where the port key was and where I needed to go. But I didn't have time. I remember badly what happened next.

I remember that the door opened suddenly. I remember how some men came in and one of them shouted "Avada Kedavra". I remember my mother's lifeless eyes. I remember how they grabbed me and dragged me somewhere. I remember crying and screaming. This is how all this horror began.
