Ice Queen

Ice Queen

It was the beginning of winter when she escaped the Dark Forces after her defeat of Neville. Yet now the leaves had fallen. The skies were cold, bleak, and grey. The night was constantly closing in on the shortening, wavering days. The birds had long ago flown away to warmer shores. Oh how she wished she could do as they did. Just spread wings and fly away, away from the sorrow, anger, hate, and fear of the world Voldemort was creating. Alas she knew that she could do no such thing and stop thinking those thoughts since they only made things worse. Yes she had to have hope, but that hope had to be something that would help the people of the world and not just for her gain. She had to remember Billy and the rest of the world that was counting on her. She had to keep their hope alive through her. Keeping her head up she was forced to continue. Winter was almost at its height and she had to find shelter before the Ice Queen got a good foothold on the land and froze her to death.

When leaves have fallen

And skies turn to grey

The night keeps on closin’

In on the day

A nightingale sings a song of farewell

You’d better hide for her freezing hell

On cold wings

She’s coming

You’d better

Keep moving

For warmth

You’ll be longing

Again

Come on, just feel it

Don’t you, see it?

You’d better believe it

Looking around on the moors of Scotland at where her quest had led her. The whole land was once alive and beautiful but now they are barren and waste. She tried to find shelter with the people she gained information from, but for fear they refused. So reluctantly she would hide under any and all logs and holes she could find that were suitable for shelter that she could find. The thought of dying now that the mission was almost fulfilled was unbearable. All she had to do now was find Voldemort and kill him. The thought seemed so simple that it was all that was driving her forward now. She hadn’t eaten for a day or two and the wind was bringing a smell like rain and the feel of extreme cold.

When she embraces

Your heart turns to stone

She comes at night when you’re all alone

And when she whispers your blood shall run cold

You’d better hide before she finds you

Whenever she is raging

She takes all life away

Haven’t you seen?

Haven’t you seen

The ruins of our world

Whenever she is raging

She takes all life away

Haven’t you seen?

Haven’t you seen

The ruins of our world

Just then a lantern’s light was seen at the end of the path near the horizon. Hoping for friends since the Death Eaters rarely came to the barren and empty lands. That was because the only occupants were weak and sickly fugitives at their last hopes of freedom that typically died anyway. She stood there, dumb and numb from her lack of food and the cold. Finally a carriage came to a stop in front of her. To her dismay it was a Death Eater on patrol for any daring or bold freelancers. It all happened so fast she couldn’t stop him or defend herself. Before she knew it she was bloody and chained in the back of the carriage. Luckly for her, though, the carriage shielded her from the wind as the first yet late snow of winter began to fall. She also had a bowl of water and a loaf of bread with a small amount of cheese and fish. For now, imprisonment was the best thing to happen to her in three days.

She covers the earth with her breathtaking cloak

The sun awakes and melts it away

The world now opens its eyes and sees

The dawning of a new day

On cold wings

She’s coming

You’d better

Keep moving

For warmth

You’ll be longing

Again

Come on

Just feel it

Don’t you

See it?

You’d better believe

Whenever she is raging

She takes all life away

Haven’t you seen?

Haven’t you seen

The ruins of our world?

Whenever she is raging

She takes all life away

Haven’t you seen?

Haven’t you seen

The ruins of our world?
