CHAPTER 1: THE CURSE

It was in the very early hours of the morning when Harry woke up with a start. And then from some where off in the distance he heard Uncle Vernon's voice.

"NOOOOOOOO GET AWAY FROM ME!" Uncle Vernon shouted. Harry got up from his bed, got dressed, and absentmindedly picked up his wand. Being careful that he doesn't make any noise he crept out of his room and down the stairs. Walking quietly he pressed his ears against the door to hear the conversation better.

"You stupid Muggle, you don't even know who I am do you?" replied a high pitched voice that Harry could easily identify as being Lord Voldemort's.

"No I don't but all I know is that you are breaking in and entering my house and that is against the law so I mightiest well call the police." Uncle Vernon replied with a noticeably shaking voice, which was very uncommon of him. Knowing what was soon to happen, Harry pushed the door lightly so he could see what was happening but they couldn't see him.

A blinding flash of green light lit up the room. Suddenly Harry felt as though his head was going to burst with the pain from his scar. Knowing what he was about to see, he unwillingly opened his eyes and walked into the room. Shaken by what just happened, he walked over to the body of Uncle Vernon.

"Tom Riddle you killed my uncle, first my parents now my uncle, who's next?" screamed Harry.

"Don't you dare call me by that foul name that my Muggle dad gave me!" hastily stated Voldemort. "You will pay for that. Crucio!"

The spell hit Harry and he fell to the floor shaking, and screaming from the pain. He felt as though there were white-hot knives stabbing him every where on his body. All he wanted to do was die and get it all over with, but then it all stopped and the pain was over. Harry got up and saw that his screaming had lured Aunt Petunia and Dudley down stairs to see what all of the commotion was about. Once they saw what all of the commotion was about they walked over to Harry suspiciously. Harry then pointed to Uncle Vernon's dead body.

"Harry, what did you do to my dad?" cried Dudley.

"I didn't do anything to your dad. Lord Voldemort killed your dad." Replied Harry.

"Who's Lord Voldemort Harry?" Asked aunt Petunia.

"He is the guy standing next to me." Responded Harry, pointing at Lord Voldemort.

"You know to much about me you Muggle you." Stated Voldemort.

Two more flashes of green light and both Aunt Petunia and Dudley were dead. Harry's scar was burning more now then it ever did before in his life. Next Voldemort rounded on Harry. Another flash of green light and instead of killing Harry the spell still hit him but just then Harry lost all sense of feeling and fainted.
