We are what we have become. Draco Malfoy confronts the monster within.

It was hate, yes, but a curious sort. She had agreed - even though it hurt her, even though she knew it was wrong. It was powerlust, and she watched him succumb...she wanted to stop, but the reward was too great and the pull was too strong.

With this chapter dawns a new era, one of fear and treachery. Only days after Voldemort is defeated, an unlikely figure steps into his place. This is the dark, bitter story of how Ron Weasley must come to terms with the hand fate has dealt him.
