Today we're going home again.
The others aren't going back to London with me, they're going on vacation straight from the Hogwarts gates.
That probably means no letters this Christmas.
I'm a little jealous that they all get to go and I don't.
I just ran to the carriages.
When a girl next to me ran past in tears.
I sat down in a carriage and 5 more boys got on 3 Gryffindor. 1 Ravenclaw and the Last Huffelpuff "Hey, I'm Fred Weasley, this is George Weasley, this is Lee Jordan, this is Cedric Diggory and this is Roger Davis"
"Hey, I'm Y/N riddle, nice to meet you"
"You're in Ron's year? So 2, right?"
"Yes, and you've been there for 4 years, right?"
"Yes. What are you doing here alone?"
Cedric asked.
"Everyone else went on vacation straight after the gates."
"Weren't you there for that thing with the stone last year?" Lee asked
"Yes I was, but it wasn't well known that I was there"
"Are you planning on coming to Quidditch?" Roger asked
"I don't have too much else on my mind right now"
"Is it actually true that your father was a Death Eater before he died?" asked Fred
"Fred. You don't ask things like that," said Lee
"Yes my father was a Death Eater before he was murdered by Voldemort"
"You're using his real name. Respect," George said.
I had to smile.
"Yeah, don't you?"
"No, he used to put a spell on his name and since then they all call him "He Who Must Not Be Named""
"A question," said Roger
"Hmmm?"
"Is it true that you saw your father die?"
"I don't know, I was too young to know that"
"Do you know who opened the Chamber of Secrets?" George asked
"No, unfortunately I don't know, but I would also like to know."
We arrived at the train station.
"Y/N do you want to sit with us?" Cedric asked.
"Yes, I'd love to have someone else, I don't really have anyone else right now"
We got on the train and after 10 minutes it started moving.
We talked about so much.
After 1 1/2 hours we finally arrived in London.
"We'll see you again after the holidays." Fred said
" Bye"
With that they said goodbye and were already with their parents.
I looked around for a while until my suitcase was there. I noticed eyes on me.
They were those of Fred, George, Lee, Cedric and Roger.
I got my suitcase. When Fred came towards me.
"Aren't you being picked up?"
"No, it doesn't look like that, but it's okay"
"Do you want to come with us on vacation?"
"Sorry, but I have to cancel."
" Why?"
"I'm not allowed. Sorry"
"Where do you actually live?"
"With the Malfoys"
"Oh you live with them. My condolences"
"I've always lived with them so it's okay"
"Fred" a woman was most likely his mother.
"Come on, we have to go"
"Okay bye Y/N we'll see each other again" With that he left and I apparated to my room.
I put my suitcase on the floor and started unpacking half of it.
It was strange, it was completely silent in the house.
I went downstairs and it was empty everyone was gone.
I went to my father's office and knocked.
Nothing. I opened the door and walked in slowly.
There was a letter on the table. It said "From Grindelwald to Voldemord" I opened it and started reading.
"To Voldemort,
We are not friends but we definitely need to meet up, I have important information that you may like.
I also want to tell you about something stronger that you wrote to me in a letter.
It's even stronger than a memory lock. She wouldn't be able to remember anything that happened before she was 4."
Suddenly there was a loud noice somewhere in the house.
I winced and immediately put the letter back where it was nice and clean so that no one could notice anything.
Suddenly I noticed that my fingers turned blue.
"Shit" a thief's trap.
I immediately ran to my room and covered my fingers with a covering spell.
Then something broke again.
I took my wand in one hand and slowly walked towards the sound.
I saw Grindelwald lying on the floor. Completely alone. Tied up with strings.
He looked at me pleadingly.
I looked at the clock and sat on a sofa.
"I'm sorry but I can't free you" with that I became quiet.
An hour passed. The next hour. The third hour.
Then I apparated out of the house. I started talking to myself.

"Why couldn't I just free him. I just wanted to kill him. There is this feeling but why. No I can't kill him. Why should I? I don't know him. Why do I still think about killing him? I want to free him that he can tell me why I want to kill him. I can't kill him"
I came back and looked at him. A memory suddenly came into my field of vision.
I slept
Grindelwald was over me and gave me this memory barrier. My father just watched me. He gave me the memory lock.
I woke up and my father was gone. He was next to me and I looked down my body blood was covered in blood. Then he leaned over me. He raped me.
I couldn't move.
I was caught in a spell. He just laughed. Then she was gone.
I was back.

I in Older he tied up at my feet I saw his laugh he smiled at me.
He knew exactly what he had just shown me.
I didn't think at that moment and just acted.
"Avada Kedavra" the spell was perfect it was green and Grindelwald died immediately.
Only then did I realize what I had just done.
My eyes filled with fear.
I killed someone without having to. My eyes felt teary as I looked at the person in front of me.
I Apparated. It was already dark. I didn't know where I was.
I suddenly found myself standing on a cliff.
The tears were all over my face.
I just screamed.
I sat down on the edge under my feet were the waves.
I considered jumping in and dying for my atrocities myself.
I sat on the cliff for what felt like forever.
It was dark and I couldn't even see my own hand in front of my eyes.
A wolf was howling in the distance.
I didn't care at all.
I was freezing.
It was so cold.
Me in a skirt and top at night.
I looked at my wand and removed the last spell.
There was no moon today.
That was the inconvenient thing - it was pitch black.
I watched the waves.
They were so beautiful so even as if there was no barrier in hitting them against the cliff.
Everything was so beautiful, so quiet.
How about I stay here forever, never be a servant to my father again? Ignore Hogwarts.
Build a house here and stay here forever but no, I can't do that, I have to fight for my life and for those I killed.
"I promise not to kill innocent people anymore"
I found two large stones and carved into them.
"A strange, good man who died to save others"
And
"Grindelwald is a man who actually deserves it but should live"
I sat on the cliff and threw the stones into the water.
"Thank you for saving me from my own demise.
You opened my eyes to what is right and what is wrong.
I thank the stranger who sacrificed his live to save mine."
I noticed someone was watching me but ignored it.
"Thank you for the new opportunity. To have a better grip on my life.
I will be grateful for everything. What you had.
I will protect you with my life.
Since I took yours.
So thank you again.
Forgiveness is one thing.
Life is the other thing.
There is always a new opportunity for everyone."
I stood up and looked out at the wide open sea.
I had to smile. I conjured up a flash of light that illuminated the stones in the water.
They looked so beautiful.
"Your life is now a part of me.
I hope you can forgive me and forgive your actions from your previous lives so you can rest in peace. Rest in peace".
I sat down again and watched the stones in the sea.
The person who was watching me is gone.
I heard him walk away.
I sat on the cliff without fear of falling off.
Maybe I'll just stay here for a few more days.
There was definitely food in the forest.
I found a lake back there while looking for stones.
I can go there too.
I have everything I need for the next few days.
I decided to stay here for another 5 days and then come home for Christmas.
If necessary, I could also conjure up a tent or eat and much more.
My wand was excluded from the trail anyway.
That means I could do as much magic as I want and no one would notice.
