Book 1 of 7 Voldemort and his followers have won the war. The Dark Lord rules Britain and those who oppose him are scattered, some in exile in the USA, and others underground in their own country. Harry Potter is one of those for whom America has become a home, that is until his nemesis is given a promise by those who represent authority for the exiled Britons. The promise will lead Harry into a darkness that he could never have imagined. This story was written after the publication of Order of the Phoenix and before the publication of The Half-Blood Prince, and therefore does not take into account anything after Order of the Phoenix. The story offers an alternative timeline from then, which asks the question - What if Voldemort won? I have re-edited this work and broken it into 7 books, each focusing on a different aspect of Harry and Draco's progress through the world that Voldemort has created. Book 1: Into Darkness Book 2: Walking in Light and Shade Book 3: Revelations of Love Book 4: Risks, Reservation and Mum Book 5: When Darkness Threatens Book 6: Orb of Destiny Book 7: Making A New World WARNINGS: This story features scenes of torture and sexual intimidation.

Becky is staying with her parents, after an acrimonious breakup, when her bedroom cupboard starts singing to her in the middle of the night. As she investigates she finds a long forgotten heirloom, bequeathed to her by her great great aunt Rosalind years ago. Things get really weird and kind of creepy when it starts to talk. Written for the Open Novella Contest II - since I had such fun last year. This is for Fantastical Stories, prompt #8 - check out the author's notes for a complete run down.
