Note
Hi there! This is my first Harry Potter fic. So, I hope you like it. I personally always love stories that explore the worse possible scenario. I find them interesting. So, here it is. What if Harry potter gave in to Voldemort the night Sirius Black died. What if he killed Bellatrix? And how did he get to that point?Well...here are my ideas as to the answer.This first chapter is more background than anything else, years 1-3, but they are important for what happens later. Things pick up in the next part, year 4.Also, if anyone find any typos or issues with tense, let me know. I don't typically write in present tense.Thank you! And enjoy!

Epilogue

That next night, as the sun sets and moon rises, something happens. The Death Eater’s, Tom’s old followers, feel something peculiar. Each feel a sharp pain in their arms, and when they look, to see if, perhaps, they have been summoned, they find something else entirely. A new mark has taken the place of the old.

It is of the skull of a stag, its massive rack of antlers twined with sharp briars. From one dark, empty eye socket crawls a snake to curl around the antlers and rear its head. A new Dark Lord has taken Voldemort’s place, and woe betide anyone who defies him.
