"Wormtail come hither." The voice echoed around the room.
"y-y-yes master?"
"Wormtail the time has come for you to see my new… torture. It is more powerful than the Avada Kedavra curse. It allows me to use a person's life force to feed and grow stronger. And you, Wormtail, shall be my Guinea Pig. I shall make sure it works by using it on you first."
"No Master please. Haven't I been a good servant to you? Haven't I cared for you in your darkest hour? Didn't I bring you Bertha Jorkins… and Harry Potter?"
"Wormtail!"
"Yes master?"
"Shut up. Now come here." Wormtail edged slowly towards Lord Voldemort. He saw Voldemort's hand reach into his coat and pull out a large red diamond with a silver star situated in the centre. Voldemort stroked it like a pet and then raised it in the air. The cool wet diamond tingled on his head before a searing pain gripped him all over. Wormtail screamed and was dead.
All that was left was his glorious silver hand. The star in the centre of the diamond had grown.
Harry woke up in a cold sweat. His scar really hurt.
"Harry!"
"Huh?" There was a ghost at the end of his bed and it was talking to him. His first reaction was to scream. However, he decided against it when the ghost started talking to him.
"You don't remember me in this form do you Harry? It is I, Wormtail. Now listen to me boy. My master has killed me. And so I must avenge my death by giving you some help to destroying Voldemort. I will give you your first riddle now. During the next year I will visit you three more times, each time giving you a new riddle. At the end of the year you must use my help to destroy the Dark Lord. And now. The riddle. 'A simple spell is all it takes, To destroy the Dark Lord as he waits.' I can't give you anymore help. You do understand, don't you Harry?"
Harry couldn't think of anything to say as the ghost at the end of his bed nodded sadly and vanished.
