hd100's prompt of "Beginning" and my GJ 100_prompts table #029 - "Purity".
Summary: And so the story begins.
Disclaimer: The characters contained herein are not mine. They belong to JK Rowling and her publishers. No money is being made from this fiction, which is presented for entertainment purposes only.
In the beginning, he had been taught about the importance of purity. Anyone less than pure was unworthy, was contaminating the gene pool, was weakening wizardkind.
He had heard of Muggles and what they had done - had tried to do - to witches and wizards over the years. He never understood why wizards hadn't simply fought back and eradicated them then.
He had heard of Muggle lovers, but hadn't had much experience dealing with them. Mother and Father had ensured that he hadn't had to deal with them sooner than was necessary. He had been thankful for that.
***
In the beginning, he'd heard about the Dark Lord and his vision for a better, stronger wizarding community. He knew his father had been the Dark Lord's right hand. It was something to be proud of, to revere.
Then he heard the story of a baby boy who had been the downfall of the greatest wizard that had ever lived. At first, he'd been in awe of such a powerful child. Then he found out he was a half-blood.
Later, he found out the boy was his own age, and would be going to the same school. He couldn't wait.
***
On the day he went to Diagon Alley to get his supplies for school, he was elated. He knew that he would be in Slytherin. He knew that he would be looked up to, thanks to his name, thanks to his father. He couldn't wait to start school.
He met a young boy he'd never seen before, also getting fitted for Hogwarts' robes, who looked out of place. He knew just what to do. He told him about Slytherin, guided him away from Hufflepuff, and pointed out that ridiculous oaf outside the store.
It was the beginning of the end.
