***********************************************************
Wizards, like myself, cannot be categorized and placed in one of the two files that society has created: those being “Evil” and “Good.” “Evil” wizards do not suffer the torment of guilt, nor do they cringe at the prospect of mutilating the “Good”; but yet I do. “Good” wizards do not enjoy the seductive powers that the dark arts possess; which of course I do. The wizards of “Light” do not receive any form of smug joy when others around them fall, but proudly I do. Most importantly, “Good” Wizards never demand payment for deeds done in the name of light. I, on most days, live solely for that payment. This is why wizards like myself are the reason society must create another file. A file for a fair number of the wizarding population to be proudly categorized in; and I call that file “In Between.\" Not very imaginative, I realize. I was contemplating “Purgatory”, but that term holds too many religious symbols, and I am not very fond of the ones that it brings to my mind. Honestly, I am quite busy reaping the benefits, and weighing the cons, of being “In Between” that I am not about to waste my time researching a proper name for said metaphorical file.
The new school term began less then a month ago. That fact within itself had serious positive and negative outcomes. The negatives being: the return of Potter, Longbottom, the second to last oops of the Weasley clan; hall duty, and weekly Head of House meetings with Minerva; and let’s not forget the loss of quiet corridors, quiet meals, and quiet research time. The positives are: less frequent revels, torturing of the innocent and dark mark burns. But the most important benefit to the beginning of the new year is my fresh, young, and quite intelligent payment.
I have been coveting this year’s possible payment for almost 3 years now; ever since my mark began to burn again, and the old man demanded I resume my previous position within the Dark Lord’s ranks. This is the first payment I have actually admired prior to her appointment as Head Girl.
There was never a written or verbal agreement exactly, but a play of senility on Albus’ part to just look the other way. He knows I felt that I had repented for my terrible past after the Dark Bastard’s first fall, but he held a personal IOU over my head; after enough sadistic torture and senseless death even that IOU between allies wouldn’t hold me. This had to be why the perceptive and well informed man looked the other way when rumors within his staff room started about the Potions Master seducing the Head Girl. Albus allowed it to continue with Katie Bell last year and Angelina Johnson the year prior; because I denied it, Albus ignored it and the Head Girls had no complaints, since oddly enough, they had no memories of any encounters of the unprofessional kind with myself. As I said before: it was this year I was looking the most forward too.
Now, I do believe Miss Hermione Granger should now be settled completely into her new role as this year’s Head Girl. I think it may be time to take the new toy out for a test run.
