The Dark Side

1. How it all started

"Elizabeth, I have some bad news" my dad said with a sad look on his face. "What is it?" I ask. "Your grandfather died"

That's the moment my whole life fell apart.

I'm Elizabeth, Elizabeth Grindelwald.

My grandfather, is Gellert Grinderwald, well, he was. I was 8 when that happend. My mother died when I was 4, that never affected me, because I had my grandfather. 

I'm a lot like him, my dad never liked that. I never liked my dad, since my mother died he changed, and not for the better. He became distant and he didn't spend any time with me anymore.

My grandfather on the other hand, he was always there for me. He taught me everything I know, everything I need for survival.

Mostly dark magic.
That's how he always survived.

 
I killed someone for the first time when I was 7, he was talking shit about my grandfather and I got mad.
I liked the way I saw the life leave his body. I got addicted. 

Killing and torturing people turned into a passion.
Some people say I'm a sociopath, and honestly, I couldn't agree more.

My grandfather was really proud of me, he always said I would rule the wizarding world. When my grandfather died, my dad became even more toxic. He was abusive and never sober. He drank all his pain away.
So I killed him, and the worse part is, I don't even regret it. 

After that I lived alone for a long time, I didn't have anyone else. No family, no friends.
Until one day, I met Draco Malfoy. That was the day I met my best friend.

I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was walking in diagon alley, when I bumped into someone.
"Watch where you're going." I yelled.
I looked up and saw a boy, a little shorter than me, with platinum blonde hair. "Sorry" he mumbled.
"It's okay I guess" I said annoyed.
He looked at me, then into my eyes and gasped. "Your eyes" he said. "They're two different colours" he said confused.
"I know. It's something in my family, my dad and my grandfather had that to." I said.

"Grindelwald" he mumbled. 

"Are you family of Gellert Grindelwald?" he asked, suddenly really excited.
"Yes I am" I said proud.
"Wow, that's really cool. My father told me about him." he smiles at me, a warm, welcoming smile. "What's your name?" he asks still smiling.
"Elizabeth, what's yours?" I ask, now smiling as well.

"Draco, Draco Malfoy" he said.

"My mom is taking me to the Leaky Cauldron, do you want to come with us?" he asks. 

"Sure" I said. We walked together to the Leaky Cauldron, talking and laughing.

That was the first time I had laughed in a while. We went into the leaky cauldron and we walked to a woman with black and white hair.

"Hey mom" Draco said.
"Hello honey, how are you?" she asked.
"I'm great and you?" he asked.
"I'm good honey" she said while giving him a hug. She looked at me standing, behind Draco. "Who is this beautiful young lady?" she asked.
"This is Elizabeth Grindelwald" Draco said. "I met her on my way here"
"Hello Elizabeth, I'm Narcissa" she said smiling.
"Hello Narcissa" I said.
"Come on you two, sit down" she said. Draco sat down in front of his mother and I sat down next to him.

"So Elizabeth, tell me a little bit about yourself" she said.
"Uh okay. Well, my mother died when I was 4 and my dad didn't have a lot of time to take care of me, so I spend a lot of time with my grandfather. But he died last year and a month later my father tragically died."

I obviously couldn't tell her I killed my father. I wasn't planning on being locked up in Azkaban.

"Oh my, I'm sorry darling." she said.
"It's okay" I said, faking a sad smile.

"And who do you live with now?" she asked trying to change the subject.
"I don't have any family left, so I live alone" I said. 

Draco and Narcissa had a sad look on their faces.
