Summary:

Many people struggle with the balance of good and evil in their hearts, even those whose path seems set from the very start.

Up until last summer Lily Evans thought she knew what side to follow. But now it's nearing the end of her Fifth Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and things have taken a dizzying turn for the once assured sorceress.

First she learns of the hidden frustrations and sorrows her Muggle family goes through in raising their only magical child. Then her archrival, Bellatrix Black, shows her "interest" in becoming her friend whilst James Potter, the boy who had profusely expressed his desire to become her boyfriend, has seemingly turned against her, breaking her heart, her wrist, and her trust in the process.

Even as she tries to take everything in stride Lily's heart and thoughts have turned dark as her love for Severus Snape blooms and grows tremindously. This only puts a bigger strain on her relationships with the Marauders, who are now seen as the bad guys, and her fellow Gryffindors.

Is this truly the year where everyone's real colors come into view, or this some diabolical plot to turn Lily Evan's Light into Darkness?

Let us find out as the Countdown to darkness concludes...

Author's Note:

I am deeply sorry for how long this sequel has taken. I had no idea it's been two years since I finished my first three installments of this story, or that it would turn out to be a saga.

I could go on and on about Life, it's twists and turns, and so on but that would just waste time.

So instead here is the long-awaited fourth and final part of "Dark Desires", now called "Count Down".

Enjoy!
