A/N: This idea came to me a few days ago, after I finished Rise and Fall. Thought I'd try it out and see if anyone liked it.

Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive.
And the world I'm turning inside out
Prologue
Tied to a post, Harry Potter cursed his luck. The Order of the Phoenix had been systematically capturing, arresting or (rarely) killing the Death Eaters until only Wormtail was left to serve Voldemort, and they had still somehow managed to kidnap him.
Harry had given up hope that the Order would come for him. They could know where he was, when he didn't know where was. Sweating with fear and trying to keep his heart from beating through his chest, he looked around at his surroundings.
Movement impaired because of that bloody stake, he couldn't see much, but could see that he was standing in a clearing in what appeared to be a forest and that he had his back to a cliff.
"Harry, my dear boy," the Snake-like man said, feigning annoyance (Harry could tell Voldemort was beside himself with joy), "have you been listening?"
"No, not really," he answered boldly.
Voldemort sighed, put on a tone of long-suffering and said, "Oh well, I suppose I'll have to repeat myself. Do you know where we are?"
"Hell?"
"Close, we are standing in the Cascade Mountains in Washington."
"Fleeing the country, are you?"
"No, Harry, this location is one of the most magically powerful on earth."
Deciding to humor the old man, Harry asked, "What's so special about it?"
"Ah, that, Harry, is a story. On this very spot, ancient Indian shamans discovered a strange and mysterious secret. They learned how to change the universe."
Harry didn't like the way Voldemort had said that and shuddered.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that, with a strong enough release of power, I can rewrite history itself. Long have I searched for the knowledge the shamans once possessed, and now I have found it."
"Uh huh. And just what is this power?"
"Why, your death of course."
"Yeah, I should have known that."
Harry could only watch as Lord Voldemort prepared whatever mad ritual he was going to preform. He was about to say something in a vain attempt to distract Voldemort when he heard a loud crack. Or rather, several almost-simultaneous cracks. Harry didn't know how, but the Order had arrived.
Within moments, a green beam of light came out of the forests and hit Wormtail, killing him instantly. Voldemort, knowing he had little time left, was furious.
"I had meant to kill you, Potter, but the muggle-loving fool has interfered once again. He will have to do."
Voldemort cast a large shield around the perimeter of the clearing, keeping the Order out. Instantly, the ropes that had kept Harry bound fell to the ground.
That must be why he's using Wormtail, he thought. He doesn't have enough magic to keep the order out and kill me. Hope he runs out soon. Without my wand, I can't stop him.
Suddenly, there was a flash of red light and the shield dissolved. Voldemort had completed the ritual.
FLASH
Temporarily blinded, Harry stumbled back.
FLASH
He could hear the Order rushing into the clearing.
FLASH
Walking backwards too far, Harry slipped of the cliff.
FLASH
He heart stopped for a moment, before he felt his hands clasp the edge of the cliff.
FLASH
"Harry!" he heard Tonks yell.
FLASH
He felt the tips of Tonks' fingers touch his as he fell.
FLASH
He knew no more.
