Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Chapter 1

Halloween Night 1981

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Village of Godrics Hallow once home to the Legendary Godric Gryffindor was a peaceful village inhabited by mostly wizards and witches with a few muggle families here and there. They all went about there business not noticing one house in the middle of town in fact it seemed as if the people walking by the house couldn't see it at all and they couldn't because the house was the home of Lily and James Potter who were in hiding from the most feared Dark Wizard ever, they were hiding because of a prophecy about their son Harry being the only one able to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort.

They were hiding out in their summer cottage using an ancient spell known as the Fidelius Charm, an immensely complex spell involving the magical concealment of a secret inside a single, living soul. The information is hidden inside the chosen person, or Secret-Keeper, and makes it impossible to find, unless, of course, the Secret-Keeper chooses to divulge it. As long as the Secret-Keeper refused to speak, You-Know-Who could search the village where Lily and James were staying for years and never find them. The Potter's had chosen James' old school friend, Peter Pettigrew instead of Sirius Black because they thought Voldemort would never suspect they'd use Pettigrew, but little did they know that Peter had been betraying them for years.

It was a dark and dreary Halloween night in the distance you could see two figures meeting secretly in the woods near Godrics Hallow plotting the murder of The Potter's son who was prophesized to be able to vanquish the Dark Lord. This meeting would forever change the course of history.

"My Lord they have done it the Potter's have made me their secret keeper," said the one man.

"Excellent," replied the other man "You shall be rewarded greatly for this Wormtail."

"Thank you My Lord, remember you are not to kill The Potter's just the boy."

"You would do well not tell me what to do for I am your master but for now I shall let it pass since you bring such valuable information." "I will only kill the boy if they stay out of my way."

"I did not mean to tell you what to..."

"SILENCE, show where they are hidden," said Voldemort.

"Yes My Lord," said Peter while handing a piece of parchment to his master.

Inside The Potter's Lily with baby Harry and James are sitting in their living room in front of the fire relaxing when all of the sudden they heard the back door get blow off.

"Lily dear did you hear that," asked James as he got up and went into the kitchen and when he got there he shouted, "Lily Take Harry and run it's him."

"But Peter, Oh no! How could we not have seen this?"

"Well Well Well, if it isn't the heir of Gryffindor stand aside and give me the boy if you want to live your friend was nice enough to beg me to let you live but I have no problem with killing the heir of Gryffindor Potter."

"You can have him over my dead body"

"That can be arran..."

Voldemort had even had time to finish his sentence before James sent a stunner at him. He blocked it lazily and sent back a Killing curse killing James Potter instantly. Voldemort went up stairs and came upon Lily trying to protect Harry.

"No please not Harry."

"Stand aside you silly girl."

"No please take me instead."

"You needn't die," replied Voldemort

"Please not Harry."

"AVADA KEDEVERA," Shouted Voldemort Killing Lily Potter instantly.

"Good bye Harry Potter you are no match for me no matter what the prophecy says...AVADA KEDEVERA."

Voldemort hadn't even had time to react as the killing curse flew back at him rebound off the boy striping him of his body and as his spirit was fleeing the house blew up.....

Sirius Black was on his way to visit Peter Pettigrew but when he arrived at Peter's hideout he noticed that he was gone and there was no sign of a struggle knowing something was wrong he set off to the Potter's on his motor cycle.

Meanwhile Dumbledore was in his office when an owl flew in informing him that The Potter's had died but their son had lived and it appeared Voldemort was gone, and for the first time in many years the old headmaster cried. He sent for Hagrid and told him to go to Godrics Hallow and get baby Harry and bring him to the Infirmary at Hogwarts and then to take to his Aunt Petunia's.

When Hagrid got there he saw the house destroyed and found Harry and got him out of the ruins of the house.

"Hagrid," said a voice from behind him.

"Sirius," said Hagrid

"Hagrid what are you doing here," asked Sirius "Give Harry to me I'm his godfather I'll look after him."

"I can' Sirius I got me orders from Dumbledore I'm ter take Harry ter live with his Aunt and Uncle."

"So Dumbledore still thinks I'm the secret keeper great," said Sirius in a muffled voice.

"What was tha Sirius," asked Hagrid

"Nothing, look Hagrid take my motorcycle I won't be needing it anymore"

After Hagrid had left Sirius he took one last look at the two dead bodies of his friends and thought to himself, "Peter how could you, was it worth it my old friend," and he set off to hunt for Peter. Before the muggle authorities got there know one noticed a rat change into the form of a human and take Voldemort's wand and run away.

In the house number 4 Privet Drive Harry Potter awoke from his dream knowing he had just witnessed the death of his parents.
