A TRIP BACK

Chapter 1

In a small room on number four Privet Drive a young boy woke from a horrible nightmare. He dreamed about the death of his godfather. The boys name was Harry Potter and he was the most unusual boy you could ever find. After he woke he started to cry. He cried for his parents, for his godfather, for Cedric and for all people he saw in his dreams. Suddenly, a bright, pure white light appeared in his room. It was blinding so Harry closed his eyes, no longer able to see. The next moment, Harry was gone.

Harry slowly opened his eyes. He was surprised to see that he was in a completely unfamiliar room. He was even more surprised when he realized his position. He was lying in a crib. At that moment he heard someone approaching the door. He was instantly alarmed. What if it was a Death Eater? When the person finally entered the room Harry looked at her opening his mouth wide on the sight. The person in front of him looked exactly like his mother. She moved to pick him up.

"Hello Harry! Did you sleep well? Let's get you dressed for Halloween!" she said.

Harry realized that he had somehow traveled back to the past. He also realized that it was Halloween, the night his parents died. He knew that he had to defeat Voldemort and that, unfortunately, he couldn't save his parents. With that thought on his mind he smiled at his mother and allowed her to dress him. After that they went downstairs where they met with James. Harry wanted to stay in the arms of his parents all night and his parents noticed it. They thought it strange because Harry usually didn't want much attention.

Just before midnight, when Harry was enjoying his time with his parents, the explosion was heard from the front door. James, who was holding Harry, went to the closest window. He immediately panicked and tried to give Harry to Lily.

"Lily, it's him. Take Harry and go! I'll hold him of!" he shouted.

"But James…" she protested.

"GO!" James yelled at her.

Lily took Harry from James and started running toward the bedroom. Once there, she locked the door and started searching for a portkey she placed there. Before she had time to activate it the door blew open and Voldemort entered the room. Lily hugged Harry closer to herself.

"Move aside!" Voldemort said.

"No, not Harry! Take me instead!" Lily pleaded.

"Move aside, you stupid girl!"

"No, I won't let you take my baby!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Voldemort shouted and Lily fell on the floor motionless.

After that Voldemort turned to Harry.

"Say goodbye to the world, Harry Potter! AVADA KEDAVRA!" he yelled.

The green light flew to Harry and rebounded back at Voldemort after leaving the mark on his forehead.

A few moments later Voldemort disappeared to not be seen for quite some time.

After Voldemort disappeared Harry went to his mother and hugged her dead body. Half an hour later he heard Hagrid calling for his parents. Harry to cry, in an attempt to call Hagrid to him. He succeeded and soon he found himself in Hagrid's arms. Not long after that, he fell asleep.

He awoke at the sound of arguing. He opened his eyes and saw that Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid and he were standing at the porch of Privet Drive. He thought of how to stop them from leaving him there and quickly came with a plan. When Dumbledore placed him at the front door he started to cry loudly. Concerned McGonagall picked him up. He immediately stopped crying. He repeated that several times until the professors finally realized that he won't stay quiet if they leave him there. They picked him up and took him with them to Hogwarts.
