Hogwarts was in ruins. The once welcoming warmth every dinner was replaced by the cold. Once smiling content faces, Now painted with fear.

Acacia never imagined that such a war would take place in her lifetime. She preferred if she was born a little late to enjoy the time she'll have before all hell break loose.

But it wasn't her choice to make and now here she is, Clinging to her wand like her life depended on it, Which it did. She could've left with the other students who evacuated but she's decided that all her life she watched everyone grow, Maybe it's time she actually do something.

A sixteen year-old girl fighting along side fellow children in a war with death itself. Children unfit for war but they were born into it.

Oh how nothing will ever be the same after this, No matter if they win because lives will be lost and in the end was trauma.

You can win or lose a war but you can never escape it. The cries and blood will follow you wherever you go and Acacia knew what she was doing.

Knowing if she did die, She didn't die a coward and she served a purpose. She died for a cause and fought for something she believed in.

E

verything happened so fast that Acacia barely had any idea what's going on, She was moving on instinct. Her body seems to be running on autopilot because she's running around and fighting death eaters but her mind was not there.

Acacia is an excellent duelist but she never showcased the talent, She would practice alone in the room of requirements during her third-year. So it's no surprise that she's lasted this long dodging unforgiveables.

That was until there was a flash of green light and she can feel herself slipping away. But instead of being consumed by darkness, She was falling.

She can feel herself fall and she wondered if death was this relaxing because she had her arms wide open and she felt at peace.

Thoughts about the war leaving her to enjoy the feeling of freedom and there was a flash of golden light.

Catching up to her and she wondered if this was it, She lived a life short-lived and a boring one at that but she's glad to have died somewhat a hero.

But she wished she could've done more. She should have done more. But it's all too late for regrets when the light finally consumed her.

She was blinded and she felt as if a hundred soft hands were lifting her up. It felt good and she felt home.

“Not yet little one. You still have a chance.”

A sudden jolt and she was awake. Looking around in panic while her chest violently rise and fall.

She seemed to be in a forest but not just any forest. She's in the forbidden forest and Hogwarts from her view is not on fire.

She looked down to see she still have the cuts and bruises she gained and wondered what happened.

Did they win?

or rather, Did they lose?

She tried recollecting everything til she remembered the killing curse being thrown at her and she clutched her chest to feel it beating.

"I'm alive." She had a small smile and tears started streaming down her face, Not even questioning how it's possible. She's just happy that she is.

Then a twig snapped nearby, Her hand instinctively searched for her wand and she found it already being clutched by her right hand.

She still sat on the dirt, Unable to stand up from the pain on her leg and she feared she'll make it worse if she forced herself up.

"Who's there?" She asked with a raspy voice and prepared herself for the worse when more than one figure came into view.

"What're you doing here?" A voice asked and she recognised it to be a male's. She slowly looked up to get a view of their faces and the darkness of the forest didn't help much til one stepped closer to get a better look at her.

The moon served it's purpose and she can see before her a man who looks alot like Harry and she's smart enough to figure it all out in seconds.

Bloody hell...I'm back in time.

The last thing she remembered before drifting to unconsciousness was a pair of hazel eyes and the faint smell of chocolate.

Four boys nervously stood around the bed being occupied by a mystery girl. Her uniform gave away that she's a Slytherin but they are yet to recognise her.

"What do you guys think she was doing?" Her face was covered in small cuts, ankle sprained and arms bruised. The four were quick to assume she was doing something evil by the green on her uniform.

"I honestly don't know but whatever it was, It can't be good." Sirius replied and watched the girl stir in her sleep, He also took notice of the cuts on her face.

"Do you think she's also..." Remus trailed off and his three friends already understood, It was the only thing that would make sense because they found her alone.

"No Moony. I think it's something else." James replied and almost jumped when the girl quickly sat up, Her eyes wide open and she was gasping for air.

Peter immediately went and searched for Madam Pomfrey while the three stare dumbfoundedly at the girl clutching the piece of cloth on her chest.

"If I'm gonna die just get it over with and stop waking me up to—" Her rant was cut short when she noticed three set of eyes watching her in confusion and she awkwardly flashed them a forced smile.

"Hi?"
