Once upon a time, not so long ago, lived most powerful Dark Lord the Wizarding World has ever known. He thought himself to be unrivaled by any others, caring for no one but himself. He drove such fear into the hearts of the people that they didn't dare speak his name.
This man's name was Lord Voldemort.
Come Halloween night of 1981, he set off to kill the only family he felt could pose a threat to him- the Potter family. Bursting through the door, the wife grabbed her baby and ran upstairs, while the husband tried desperately to ward him off- so he killed him. With the husband out of the way, he made his way upstairs where the mother protected her baby in his crib, determined to protect him at the price of her life. And that price was ultimately paid.
But something stumped him that night about the child in the crib: With both parents out of the way, he cast the Killing Curse, but something prevented it from working. It rebounded on the Dark Lord, splitting his soul into what became known as the seven horcruxes.
