AVADA KEDVARA!

Another Mudblood met her fate. Now I stood before the only thing blocking me from the power I had always dreamed of. A small baby, crying pitifully on the floor. It's almost hard to believe that this filth, a mudblood child, could be blocking me from controlling the wizarding world. I had already killed the mudblood's father; he had foolishly tried to protect his wife and child. He was a pure-blood, but he had chosen to fight me instead of joining me, the only way he could win. How could he not have known that he would meet his death by defying me? I am the most powerful wizard alive, topped only by Salazar Slytherin, whose noble work I was completing at this very moment. The honorable house of Slytherin, my own house, the house who would never cease to protect me and the Dark Arts. There was only one thing to stop me, and it seemed to be this child. I killed his parents, and I would not hesitate to kill him as well. His silly parents thought they could protect him, but the stupid people told my own spy where they were hiding. They had never had a chance. I would have found them, I knew they had no chance. They must die, but they were no more noble than any other I had killed. They were as flies carelessly slapped on a midsummer evening. I knew what I must do. The prophecy must not be allowed to come true. I must kill the one born of July, who parents had thrice defied me. They would never defy me a fourth time, and this child would not either. I raised my wand to perform the well-practiced curse, a simple phrase,

AVADA KEDVARA!

What is this? I am nothing! I am but air, floating through this ruin! I have been thwarted! The child, the mudblood, the son of filth, has repelled the most powerful curse and caused me to become as nothing! I am Immortal! I cannot die, but instead I have become a spirit, too weak to exist as a body. I must flee and seek a servant to return me to my body. I do not know how long it will take, but I will return! And then, mudblood filth, I will conquer you! Damn you, Harry Potter!
