Prologue
They say I was only one year old when it happened. It was the night of October 31st.
Lord Voldemort had walked up the pathway to my parents' house in Hogwarts village. His weapon was clutched tightly in his hand. Shadows surrounded him as he reached the door to my home.
He met with my father first. It is said that Lord Granger put up quite the fight but in the end Lord Voldemort had run his sword through him. Ending my father's life.
My father had called a warning out to my mother, Lady Granger, when he had seen the doorknob turning. She had hovered between going down the stairs to help him or going up to protect me. In the end she had chosen to go to her only daughter.
Leaving my father's lifeless body Lord Voldemort had gone up the stairs calling out to my mother. He laughed viciously as she pleaded for my life. She begged and pleaded as she stood trembling in front my crib. Tears fell from her eyes. She felt the death of her beloved husband as if it were her own. But Lord Voldemort had plunged the sword into her and watched as the blood rushed from her body. My mother's lifeless eyes staring up. Lord Voldemort had approached my crib. He reached out to finally remove the last Granger. To finish off the last link to the Granger family.
I, just a baby, had watched him curiously. Why wasn't mommy standing up? I didn't like all the red around her. I didn't want to play this game anymore. I began to shriek miserably. Lord Voldemort had lifted his sword and then it had happened. The sword had slipped from his grasp. He tried to lift it but did not have the strength. A noise sounded from downstairs and he looked around panicking. He tried one last time but only managed to scrape my forehead.
The lightning shaped scar would be marked there for the rest of my life. Lord Voldemort had escaped that night. A mere shell of the man he used to be. He was too ashamed to return to his followers. How could he return without fulfilling his mission? He had been ousted by a mere child. A babe. He had been weakened. He vowed one day to return and finish off his mission. To return and kill the last remaining Granger.
