Harry's POV
The Boy Who Live
I was once again reliving one of the worst days in my life. Me and my fellow champion, Cedric Diggory were in the graveyard and within seconds he was hit with a green light that ended his life forever and changed the lives of many.
"CEDRIC! NO CEDRIC!" I shouted in my dream.
"BOY!" Someone called in the distance. Without a warning, my bruised body was flung out of my bed and onto the unforgiving wooden floor. As I looked up, I saw my uncle's beefy face snarling at me in anger. I knew I was going to be punished. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to begin, hoping above all else that it will end soon. The belt came quickly. 1, 2, 3,… I eventually lost track. Sometime later, I blacked out and knew no more.
3rd POV
Several miles away, two alarms were going off. However, these were not ordinary alarms. One alarm was at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in the headmaster's office. The headmaster of Hogwarts paled when he realized which one was going off and what it meant. Harry Potter was in danger.
He was too busy to go and check on Harry, however. This meant that one of his professors would have to go for him. All of the professors were gone for the summer holidays except for one, and normally he would not call upon him, but hopefully the fact that Harry was in danger would mean more than who and what he symbolized to this professor. He sent his phoenix with a message to the professor, requesting that he must see him immediately.
The other alarm was at the Ministry of Magic in the Child Welfare Department. This startled the man on duty for this department quite badly, for the alarm was shrill sound. However, it was effective in getting the man's attention. The fact that this alarm was going off was an indicator that one of the British magical worlds many children was in danger. He automatically sent a patronus to child welfare auror service. This was like the Auror department, with one slight difference. This was only used in extreme cases and it was only to be used for kids under the age of 17. While he was waiting for them to arrive, he grabbed his coat and prepared to leave as soon as the aurors had arrived and he had debriefed them on the situation.
