"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off-"

...The sounds of someone stumbling from a room...a door bursting open...a cackle of high-pitched laughter-

"Not harry, not Harry, please not Harry!"

"Stand aside, you silly girl...stand aside now..."

"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead...Not Harry! Please...have mercy...have mercy..."

There was a shrill scream, a flash of green light, and a second cackle of evil laughter. Then all was silent.

The boy called Harry Potter awoke with a start.
