A figure moved in the shadows of the room. He carried a bundle into the room, careful as to not wake the parents.
No one would ever know, he thought.
But he was wrong. This horrifying act he had just committed would change the entire fate of the wizarding world.

James and Lily Potter sat peacefully in their living room watching classic muggle horror movies while Harry Potter lay quietly in his crib in the next room.
They loved their son very much, but certain things he did, scared them.
Only at the age of one, his magical aura was powerful. He could move things and manipulate objects at any time he wanted.
Their son never cried, screamed, giggled, or shown any kind of emotion.
Sometimes they felt as if their son wasn't really theirs.
Though, all of this was the last thing on their minds as they munched on buttered popcorn.
Lily started feeling tired so they ended the movie and walked upstairs. As they passed Harry's room Lily felt the need to check on him, James said there was no need but she didn't listen.
As James went back to their room Lily slowly opened to door to Harry's.
Harry was laying there, completely asleep. Lily smiled softly and slowly closed the door.
As Lily and James laid down, Harry began to stir as a cold drift entered his room.
The window was open and a dark figure was standing above the crib, looking down at the baby.
It drew its wand in preparation to use the killing curse but paused.
In one swift motion, the figure smiled, cast a bombarda at the wall behind the crib, and disappeared.
The next morning Lily and James Potter found Harry crying for the first time with a scratch shaped like a lightning bolt carved on his forehead, his room was a mess.
The parents made the grave mistake of calling for help from the greatest light wizard at the time, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
