Professor Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, sat at his desk trying fervently to unstick two lemon-drops on the most ordinary (if not boring) of days. Suddenly, there was a flash of green light that filled that room accompanied by a loud screeching sound. Dumbledore leaped to his feet.

"Oh no" He muttered, before running out the door.

Deep in Hogwarts in one of the potions labs stood Severus Snape, currently leaning over a bubbling cauldron, muttering about not adding enough lacewing flies, when a green light filed the room along with a loud screeching noise. Startled, Snape burned his hand on the cauldron and swore loudly. Then, he realized what had startled him and swore under his breath even more. He put a freezing charm on the potion so now the entire cauldron (fire and all) was a rather large ice cube and when un freezed it would be like he never left, and ran out the door, grabbing an extra cloak on the way.

Minerva McGonnagal was sitting at her desk when the green light fieeld the room and she covered her ears at the loud screeching noise (AN: Are we sensing a pattern here?). She dropped her quill and hurried out of the room.

Five minutes later the three teachers met at the gates of Hogwarts. They looked at each other and nodded their heads and apparated just outside the gates.

They appeared a moment later in front of 4 Privet Drive. At the sight Albus Dumbledore stared for a moment, and tears began leaking out from Professor McGonnagols eyes and Snape gasped quietly.

Number four Privet Drive was in ruins.

Dumbledore walked up to the front door, but as soon as he touched the handle the door fell over.

They stepped inside.

It was a complete wreck. There were tables overturned, chairs splintered against walls, Things thrown about, and (much to their horror) a rather large amount of blood that decorated the walls and floor. Thy stepped through what they thought may have been at some point the kitchen and into the living room and what they saw there made professor McGonnagal begin to cry worse.

This room looked by far the worst. There was much blood on the floors and walls. There was no glass in the windows but they could see that something must have blown them out because there was glass all er the floor. The couch looked as if it had been burned and the fireplace looked as if it had exploded. The worst thing by far was underneath a shattered mirror hanging in the corner of the room.

Harry Potter was slumped, not moving, against the wall underneath the shattered mirror, not breathing.

They stood silent for a moment, thinking about him when a noise disrupted their peace. Some one was moaning, then coughing. They looked over at Harry to see himmoving his legs and arms as if trying to get up but he just coughed more and to their horror they saw him lean over and spit out a few pieces of glass. Dumbledore rushed over to him.

"Harry?" The aged headmaster tried. He touched the boys arm and he looked to him, both of his eyes shut before he began to speak.

"V-Vo-Voldemort…explosion…Dursley's…upstairs…screaming, so much screaming…pain…make it stop." Harry mumbled. Dumbledore looked back to Minerva and she nodded and headed up the stars to search for the Dursley's.

"Who was screaming, child?" Dumbledore asked gently.

"Dursleys…mostly Aunt Petunia…raped her…Death Eaters…grabbed them" Harry mumbled, his eyes still shut.

"How do you know, Harry? Dumbledore asked, inquiring as to how he knew his Aunt was raped.

"Dreams…s'what the Death Eaters do to the girls…please make her stop screaming…" Harry whimpered.

"Child, only one more question…where is Voldemort?" He inquired.

"Gone…left after…after…Avada Kedavra…threw me across the room…hit the mirror" He opened one eye and looked at the professor. "I tried to hold him off…Death Eater…my wand…" He pointed to his wand that was lying on the ground a few feet away. Dumbledore nodded to Severus who reached out and picked it up.

"Okay, Harry, we're going to go to Hogwarts now, ok?" He asked gently and Harry nodded his head. He helped Harry up and he leaned against the wall heavily. "Now Harry, this is very important so listen to me…you mustn't fall asleep" He said sternly and Harry nodded, dazed. Dumbledore nodded to Snape again and Snape swung Harry up into his arms to carry him out.

McGonnagal returned moments later with the three Dursley's on magicked stretchers. She turned to Albus.

"Albus, Petunia's awake but in shock, Vernon is dead…the boy will live but is very lucky. I believe they had him under a few Crucios." She said sternly, all business-like now.

Albus nodded. He pulled out a shoe and they all grabbed hold and disappeared with a whoosh from Privet Drive, just as the sun came up.
