|*~Prologue~*|

Y/N sighed as she reread the last few pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the hundredth time. She'd read the book so many times before, and the ending was still sad every time. Sure, Harry defeated Voldemort and everyone was saved, but people still died. People like Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Lupin, Sirius Black, and etc. What she wouldn't do if she could save those poor souls that in her opinion shouldn't have died. And don't even get her started on how Dumbledore thought it was acceptable to leave Harry in a abusive home, even if it was for the "greater good". It's never okay to leave someone in a abusive home, even if it was for a "good" reason. And yet- it was still her favorite book series. Y/N had always felt a sort of kinship with Harry Potter – and Tom Riddle... Mostly because she was an orphan like them. She had never met her parents and was raised in an orphanage until she was 11, she was then bounced between foster homes all over the U.S. None of the homes were ever permanent, so here she was now, after 5 years of foster home hopping, in her latest foster home. Honestly, she just wished she could be 18 already so she could become a legal adult and get out of the foster system."Y/N!Could you be a dear and get the mail, please?!?!" Y/N's foster mom, Amy yelled. "Sure!" Y/N shouted back. A couple minutes later, Y/N exited her room with a baggy f/c sweatshirt covered in Cheeto stains and a pair of black sweatpants. She walked out of the house and down the driveway to the mailbox.  Her foster parents, Amy and Gerold were the typical perfect little happy family, they had 2 kids that were away at boarding school and decided that fostering her would be performing their perfect citizen duty. Not to mention the fact that they got paid over 500 dollars a month for her, and basically got a free slave to do all their housework. Another reason she felt kinship with Harry Potter and Tom Riddle- the fact that they all grew up in a toxic environment. While in the system, Y/N sometimes ended up in foster homes with some very unsavory people. Sometimes she ended up with nice and friendly people, but it was still not a very good environment to grow up in. Y/N sighed, Just a couple of years until she was 18 years old and she was out of the foster care system, and braving the world on her own. Y/N opened the bright yellow mailbox that belonged to her foster family, there wasn't anything really special in there, except a letter to Trina, her foster sister from her boarding school. She chuckled to herself, thinking about the letter to Trina. "Pfft. What if the letter is from Hogwarts?" she started back to the house, staring at the letter. "Hoo hoo" she heard a sound from the house. There it was. An owl sat perched on the corner of a roof shingle. Could it be a coincidence? She saw a flash of color out of the corner of her eye. She heard a sudden honk, and then everything went black. Y/N was in darkness for what felt like hours, and then she heard a voice calling out to her. She then heard a faint humming noise, and opened her eyes to an unfamiliar setting. She sat up in the seat she was in, looking around. She didn't recognize anything, and all she saw was a small room with a window and a moving landscape within it. "Oh, you're awake," said a voice she had heard many times before. But the thing was, she had only heard that voice in movies based off a fictional series of books that most definitely were not real. Y/N turned to the voice a was greeted with the sight of a small, skinny boy with messy black hair and a lightning scar on his forehead. "Huh?" was all she managed to say before everything turned black once again.                     ...............................................Yay!!! We finally got the prologue done!!
