Dementor's Kiss

Prologue - Ginny Weasley

I am hoping this will be my one and only Author's Note throughout this novella, mainly because I'm trying to be professional with this one. I haven't planned what happens at the end of the book so I can give nothing away. No ships have been set except that none can involve Harry for reasons that will become clear in the coming chapter and the next. Although the prologue is short the chapters are aiming to be quite long but I never know how long they will be on wattpad compared to microsoft word so I cannot give you an exact length, and the next chapter has a lot of changing scenes but after that it will stick to one. The cover has the name islaythejabberwokky on as well as my own because she came up with the idea for this novel but before we could write it together she got too busy and had to leave. She gave me all rights to this novel and everything that we had written together and in memory of her, rather than creating a new cover, I kept the same one with her name on so you all remember who it is you have to really thank for the story that follows. All rights for the original characters, locations and things like that go to J.K Rowling although we have chosen to include a few new characters to keep the story going. The first few chapters have been edited a little but after that it started to be rushed updates. All editing will be done at the end of the novel.

I think that's everything you need to know so thank you for reading this and I hope that you enjoy the book x

One thing you must know about real life is that nothing can be predicted.

One second you'll believe it will end in victory, and the next, things will take a turn for the worst.

The grounds had fallen silent, frozen in time, fear gripping each and every soul, old and young. Cold fingers tightened their hold with each passing second. The hungry breath of Death tickled their necks as he waited silently to prey upon all who were scattered within the crumbling walls. One hour, and they might all be gone, lost behind the curtain of existence, never to be found again. One hour, and the world may be dead.

Magic can only cheat nature so far; it can bend our perception of time, twist the fates of some, create things where there are none. But the future is something entirely nature's design. It cannot be told. It cannot be changed.

Only one can live while the other survives.

The looming shadow of an evident fate crawled in pursuit of the young man as he entered the dark forest. The words of lost loved ones swam in his thoughts; plenty to give him confidence but not enough to drive him mad. With every step the confidence swelled. He knew he was ready. He was ready to face Death...

It should have never happened. Not to him. It was a fate no one deserves. An unimaginable fate. It cannot be fixed... it cannot be changed now. We can only hope that the worst has passed. I can only hope that this was all a nightmare.
