Hagrid had told him that there wasn’t a cruel pyrate who hadn’t come out of Morgan House.

“Adventurous and loyal. Well suited for Cavendish House. A nonconformist for sure, Alvilda would be proud to call you her own. Brave and strong, you would be most welcomed in Bonny…”

Please, please.

“You’re sure?”

Yes!

“MORGAN!”

Harry smiled for the first time since he had gotten to Hogwarts School of Raiding and Pyracy. Now he was sure that what Ollivander had told him as he picked out his cutlass was true. They could expect great things from him. Great and terrible things.

Notes: Awakening by the Damning Well featuring Wes Borland, Richard Patrick, and Josh Freese

Out of control of a history untold
How many years will I come here?
It begins with the father of sin
Guilt. Pain. Anger. Hate. All have brought me to this point.
I walk alone in the garden of stones
A dark graveyard, filled with my friends.
I turn into the monster within
It is a full moon tonight.
Life is too long for me
The last of the Marauders.
Life is too wrong for me
I should be buried here.
Cause there's something that I realize
As the claws rip through my finger tips,
That I miss being human.

The last shreds of skin are in the sweet sunlight
And I've turned into this smiling, snarling monster
As I watch the walls descend
As I watch the walls descend like stars.

Regulus. Sirius. Bellatrix. Narcissa. Draco. Andromeda. Nymphadora.

Mrs. Black watched from her portrait as flames claimed number 12 Grimmauld Place. But what did it matter? The last of the Black family line was dead. The wall before her came thundering down in an orange blaze.

A gorgeous wreck crashing
To lay here for the next 600 years
The storm will play out there for miles on every side.

I wanted to believe
As I watched your world
Crumble in your hands

Ron was always loyal to his best friend. He knew nothing could stop Harry. Even when Harry knew the truth.

I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand

Loyalty like that is blinding.

And I wanted to believe
You would win

He couldn't even let Harry say good-bye to him. Harry knew he wasn’t coming back.

Every night
The questions poured out
Of your wounded eyes

He looked away, and Harry James Potter walked out of his life forever.

Damn dark things

“To see you leave again, it's over,” Draco said quietly, catching Harry at the Entrance Hall.

”And it kills me to watch you descend, to the end,” Harry told him, eyeing the black robes and white mask.

”You’re shutting me out again,” Draco said as he grabbed Harry’s arm.

”Are you trying?” Harry’s reply was dark.

”You’re closing me out again,” The blonde persisted.

”Are you hurting?” Harry said with sarcasm.

”You take me down. Further inside of me.” Draco sank back against a wall. “Now I'm fading out.”

”I can barely see to see you caving in, I'm undone.”

The first time she saw him outside of the diary, she wished he would return to its pages. Too late now, she was caught in his dark ink life. Somewhere Harry spoke.

The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say

Tom spoke everything she needed to hear.

Promised I would find a little solace
And some piece of mind

But he had lied. This was no solace. This was no peace.

Whatever just so long as I don't feel so
Desperate and ravenous

Like everyday outside of the diary.

So weak and powerless
Over you

“Breathe not a word of this
Quiet, quiet confidence
The time has to come to face this
We all must bear witness
The war will roll over and over and over again,”

Harry’s speech was short. The culmination of their training and preparation and brought them here. To the eve of the greatest battle of their generation.

A figure stood high upon a hill, overseeing the tide of war crash upon the Hogwarts castle. Another lonely pacifist, dying in the sun.

I will not watch this
I will not watch this all come down

”Careful, boy. Careful,” Firenze said quietly.

“The light is beautiful
But I'm darker than light”

James spun at Peter’s words. But the Rat was already gone.

”And you are wonderful
But this moment is mine”

James told Lily before running to defend their home. The Dark Lord approached.

All of this dust
All of this past

Lily brought the baby upstairs to the nursery.

I find comfort here
Cause I know what is lost

She sung a lullaby as she heard cries outside her door.

Hope is always fear
For the pain it may cost

She knew what she had to do, this moment was hers.
