If she was honest she had always known there wasn't going to be any happily ever after. She had known it from the very beginning. And still, somewhere deep inside, she had harboured the hope that even in darkness there might exist happiness. Lasting happiness. But darkness is consuming. Darkness is inexorable. And darkness is lasting. Everlasting. *********** This is the sequel to my stories "Poison" and "Perception". Even though it is not necessary to read these first, it is probably useful to know their content :) So please feel invited to have a look at Poison and Perception, if you haven't read them yet!

He had achieved almost everything he had wanted. He had power and he was immortal. And yet, there were a few things he hadn't achieved. He had not been able to get rid of his fear of defeat. And he had not been able to forget what had happened that fateful night fifteen years ago. If you asked him whether he has rued what happened that night, he would tell you that there's no room for repentance or contrition where there's not even a conscience. Yet he would tell you that although he felt no remorse that did not mean he did not regret. Sometimes you only know what you've had when you lose it. Sometimes it needs loss to inspire perception. Sometimes you need a second chance. And sometimes you get it. ********** This is the sequel to my story "Poison", and I guess it's necessary to have read "Poison" for "Perception" to make sense, so please feel invited to read "Poison" first if you haven't done so yet ;-)

You better be prepared," Tom said with a hidden tone. I blushed at the innuendo. "Okay," I said as I looked down at my hands. Tom had picked them up suddenly and began kissing every single finger of mine as he stared into my eyes intently. Mother, you hear me I am doomed! This man will have me if he truly tried hard enough. But I guess he respects me enough to make sure my heart and soul was into his proposal.

It is no matter a question of what is right or wrong, good or bad, and black and white. Eleanor Peverell's life is starting at a new chapter ten years after the last. It is a time of peace and prosperity under a new administration. Little crime has been reported since the darker days during the war and the new Auror force has kept more prisoners in Azkaban than ever before. As newely appointed Head of the Aurors Department, her new authority suits her all while feeling the hidden corruption of the Ministry crack down on her. With a suppressing boss who quickly teaches her the cheat codes and a new unprecedented threat being thrown on her shoulders, Eleanor almost wishes her boring routine that was her life just months before. This new threat though comes in the shape of a familiar face. He goes by Voldemort now. The rekindled relationship is like trying to light a wet wick on a candle. Eleanor realizes Tom is long gone and Voldemort needs her to become her worst self in order to help him. With Tom dead set in building his regime with Eleanor at his side without much of a choice, she soon begins to wonder which side gives her more purpose. She begins to question everything, losing her sense of morality and rather becoming the gray area in between; essentially the kind of person she hated. In the last time Eleanor may ever have to stop Tom, she stands in the middle of a tug of war: will she join him or let the worst come of her if she tries to stop him?

Eleanor Parkinson returns to Hogwarts for her sixth year, challenged with a vulnerability she needs to prove wrong and a new authority she needs to establish. That's easy.

Eleanor accepts that challenge and when the silence between them after years of a seemingly calm competition is broken, she begins to crave another side of him that no one has ever seen. But when secrets from her family are revealed and she is faced with many difficulties that require her full attention, Eleanor realizes Tom is a distraction that's caused her life to meet a point where she has a dangerous choice to make: She can choose him, herself, or take the risk of changing him through her own journey of saving herself at the same time. But either way, neither path will lead her to anything more than a grim ending.
