To be a Dark Lord or not? Summery: when Voldemort tried to kill baby Harry, he managed to killed Harry's soul but not his body. When the spell rebounded off of Harry, Voldemort's soul got trapped in the nearest empty body aka Harry. This is Voldemort's story and his choice; does he go back to being the dark lord or just an ordinary boy with friends? Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter 'thoughts' "Parseltounge" "Speaking" Story Start: Voldemort's eleventh birthday Voldemort sat up in his bed in the master bedroom. Yawning he rubbed his eyes before glancing at his clock which read 8:45am. He smiled softly when he saw that Nagini was still sleeping soundly at the foot of his bed. Getting up and out of the bed, he padded over to his dresser and pulled out his clothes of the new day. Getting dressed he thought about what he should eat for breakfast, 'Eggs, bacon, and toast I think.' finishing dressing, he gave Nagini a last pat on the head before opening the door and walking out of the room. As he walked down the banister he allowed his magic from his core to gently surround him for the first time in eleven years. Voldemort sighed as his magic was a lot weaker than what it used to be, "Well it has time to grow." he mused out loud as he reached the bottom of the stairs. Then he raised his voice, "Woman, make me breakfast!" he shouted as he walked into the dinning room. His so called aunt scrambled to do as she was told. Smirking he thought back to how he had forced them into being his slaves. Flashback start Voldemort entered the house and glanced around while stroking Nagini with a finger. His aunt noticed him and started shrieking when she saw Nigini. This got Dudley's attention and he stood up from the couch in the living room. Dudley walked over to see what the big deal was and then saw the snake on Voldemort's shoulder, "Ahh! Get it away mum!" Voldemort sneered at the boy before turning to the woman, "Call your husband and tell him to come home, Petunia." he said coldly. The woman gathered her courage and snarled at the boy, "Don't you go ordering me around, boy! Your lucky that we feed you and shelter you!" her high pitched voice filled the room and irritated Voldemort's ears. Voldemort winced and rubbed an ear before jabbing a finger at Dudley, "Unless you want your boy to be in pain, I suggest you do as I say." Petunia laughed, "As if you could do anything to him, boy!" she lifted her nose in the air, "Your nothing but a useless freak! Just like your parents!" Voldemort coldly raised an eyebrow, "Fine, have it your way." he lifted a hand and pointed at Dudley, "Pain." he hissed. Dudley screamed and fell to the floor with a horrendous crash. He writhed on the floor in pain as he screamed his lungs out. Large wet tears streamed down his cheeks as his body jerked around on the floor in agony. Petunia turned deathly pale and ran to her son. Looking up at Voldemort she cried, "Please let him go! I'll do what you asked, just stop this!" Voldemort simply pointed his hand at Dudley and hissed, "Stop." looking up at the two on the floor he sneered, "You are lucky, I am a merciful Lord." he than fell into a nearby chair with the grace of a panther. "See to it that your husband gets here in the next 30 minuets or the pain that the boy felt will be but a walk in the park." end flashback Voldemort nodded coolly when Petunia put a dish full of breakfast in front of him, "You are dismissed." he said when the woman didn't leave right away. "I'm sorry master," Petunia said submissively with her head bowed, "But a letter arrived for you in the mail today." Voldemort held his hand out and raised an eyebrow, silently requesting the envelope. When the woman passed the letter over he smirked at the seal. With a flick of his finger and a small burst of magic, the letter was opened cleanly. Pulling the letter out he gave a short glance at it before waving the parchment in his so called aunt's face. "Do you know what this means?" Petunia shook her head silently as she rubbed her hands anxiously. Voldemort gave her a cruel grin, "This means that I am going back to Hogwarts." A/N:Hello!
