Normal talk
Chapter 1: It begins
Far away in the Goblin City
Jareth, King of the Goblins, was bored. Bored, bored and did he mention, bored? He sighs and reflects over the past century. Hardly anyone knew the tale of the Goblin King anymore, and wishes were farer and fewer. He could barely remember the last time a child was wished here, he vaguely remembered something about a jealous older brother. But, alas. The fact is that people were forgetting the old ways and he was becoming but a myth. He sighs before rubbing his temple, wandering why he wanted to be the King of the Goblins in the first place. His thinking was interrupted by the doors banging open and a diminutive little goblin rushing into the throne room.
"What do you want?", sighs Jareth wearily. The Goblin bows quickly before straightening up.
" Sire, sorry for disturbing you, but there is a problem. We have just received word that a child has been wished away, but when we tried to retrieve him there was some type of barrier blocking us.", droned the Goblin. Jareth sat up straighter with an interested look upon his face.
"Really", he mused.
"Here is the address", continued the Goblin. He handed Jareth a slip of paper. He quickly read the address and dismissed the Goblin with a wave of his hand. The Goblin bowed again and made a quick exit. He sighs again before turning into an owl and disappearing in a swirl of silver glitter.
Godrics Hollow
A brown and white barn owl with mismatched eyes, landed on a nearby oak tree and took in the scene currently taking place before him. His eyes zeroed in on the nursery.
A couple of minutes before in Harry's Nursery
The door burst open and in the doorway was Voldemort himself . Lily screamed and Voldemort's shrill laugh filled the air. His eyes looked around the room to where Harry was sitting in his crib and started walking towards him. Lily upon seeing where he was looking, stood more protectively in front of him.
"Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!", she pleaded, screaming at him. He didn't stop his decent.
" Stand aside, you silly girl", he hissed, stepping closer and closer, " stand aside , now…". He finally stopped just three feet in front of her. Lily shook her head back and forth, with tears trailing down her cheeks.
" Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead! Please, I'll do anything!", she begged. Voldemort laughed again, the sound coming out sounding slightly demonic, and raised his wand. Lily quickly looked out the window, spotting a barn owl with odd eyes landing on a branch watching her. She turned her eyes back to Voldemort and tried one last time.
" Not Harry! Please….have mercy….have mercy…", she pleaded again. Having enough with Lily he turned his wand to her and hissed "Avada Kedavra". Lily screamed, whilst Voldemort laughed with wicked glee, while the owl outside was still watching what was happening before him.
Back with Jareth
Jareth was in a state of shock. He could not believe what had just transpired. Never before has he seen such an act of self sacrifice, from a human no less. Humans are such fickle beings. He was snapped out of his musings by the dark wizard raising his wand again to the baby. Harry Jareth remembered, she said his name was Harry. Seeing that this little child was about to meet the same fate as his mother, he quickly gathered his magic and hoped that it will make a difference. He was surprised to find ancient blood magic already protecting him. No doubt from his mother's sacrifice. He combined his magic with the blood magic already in place, which in turn created a protective force field that was invisible to all but him. Not a second later the dark wizard cast the same fatal curse that befell the child's mother. An eerie green light erupted out of the tip of his wand. It sailed through the air and collided with the force field, reflecting it back upon the caster. He screamed an ear piercing cry of devastating pain as his soul was torn from his body. The room suddenly exploded with the same eerie green light, taking out part of the house with it.
