Introduction

Disclaimer: The characters and settings of Harry Potter belong to the wonderful and talented J.K. Rowling, whom I thank very much for the loan of her playground.  The plot, however, and anything you do not recognize, belongs to me.  I am not making any profit from the writing and display of this story, except for gratification of my ego and quenching my thirst to write.

Introduction:

Cold as winter, strong as stone;

She faced the darkness all alone.

A silver goddess; a reflection,

A mirage; a recollection.

No return, no turning back

The past is gone, the future, black.

Serpents gather in their nest,

As she stands above the rest.

Shadows hunt: she hunts the shadow,

The moon has risen, she stands below.

She views her world through the eyes of others,

Black and White, there are no colors.

As she looks down upon a shattered youth,

A shattered mirror shows a shattered truth.

 "And when the sun comes out tomorrow, let it shine."

Mystery. Love. Romance. Lust. Hate. Anger. Death. Angst. That's what the very core of our existence is made of. We go through life experiencing so many different emotions; it makes us who we are. It forms your life, making it the way it has come to be.  Sometimes, it feels like you're just living a lie, or living in a book being written by the very creator itself.

If a doubt has ever crossed your mind that someone was just playing with your mind, and your heart, you were probably correct in every way. People's emotions are so complex and intricate that you never really know when they truly mean it, or mean to embarrass your soul...

And then everything comes falling down, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Everything just disappears, and you don't know who to turn to, or who to turn with. And as fast as your life began, it gets swept away out from under your very feet... to be gone forever... to never be found.

Yet, In Spite of Everything, you must go on; go on, or give up. No matter what, even if your entire existence is only in Shades of Grey, choice is something beyond our control.

Well, I'll get on with my little speech and say, "Welcome to the existence of Virginia Ginger Belladonna Andromeda Weasley."

If at any moment you feel as if you're going to fall off the seat of your comfy computer chair, please hold on tight, because you'll get a bigger dosage of surprises and cliffhangers swinging your way!
