Slytherin by heart

Lina didn't know, really. It was all history book stuff. She personally didn't have any history, or at least it felt like it. She didn't even have half of her childhood in her mind. If no one remembers it, did it even happen? But while she was thinking about this, a curious thing happened.

"The Battle of the Department of Mysteries was a stellar battle," she said, though barely realizing she was talking. "It was a key transition between the time of peace and waiting, and the official start of the next war. Everyone was peaceful, with only those who really thought and had open minds being worried about Voldemort's return. Everyone else thought that Harry Potter had already saved them all. No one wanted to believe there would be another war. Somewhat analogous to the ignorance in the United States at the beginning of World War II. No one wanted to get into it again. But this battle brought the people into the war, not just the soldiers... The public rather than the Order and the Death Eaters. And it cast the world in fear again. Because even if there was a hope or prophecy, everyone had to place their lives and livelihoods in the hands of one young boy." The way she said it made it sound like she'd had some sort of personal grudge against the time, though Lina hadn't really noticed herself, and her demeanor didn't match her tone.
