Chapter 1- A new beginning and a new scar!


"Come on boy, we don't have all day" Uncle Vernon pushed Harry and his trolley towards the car
where Aunt Petunia and Cousin Dudley were waiting with apprehension on their faces.
Harry potter was no ordinary boy returning from school at Kings Cross-station. In fact he was a wizard.
Harry, for the last 4 years had attended Hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and wizardry. There he had
made some powerful allies but also some powerful foes. Nevertheless, Harry was no ordinary wizard.
When he was a year old, a dark lord, Voldemort made his appearance at the Potters home. He killed
Harry's parents and then turned on to Harry. No one actually knew what happened not even Harry but
somehow Voldemort tried to kill Harry with the killing curse but it rebounded and destroyed voldemorts
body but he was still out there. Harry was now in his 5th year and he had met with Voldemort 3 times
by now. Once in his first year when he defended the philosophers stone, in his second year he had met
voldemorts past and managed to get away unharmed. However, in his forth year he met the now reincarnated
Voldemort, the pair duelled but Harry managed to get away by priori incantatem. Since then Harry had
never been the same.

Harry reluctantly got into the car where his cousin budged over and gave Harry only a little room to get in.
He had put his trunk in the boot and he held Hedwig on his knee. The family set off and soon as they had
done that, Dudley started complaining about being hungry. Vernon agreed with him so they stopped at a
service station on the motorway. Dudley had a massive lunch but Harry only nibbled on some bread, he
wasn't hungry. Suddenly he could hear two people talking close by. They were talking about muggles
and Dumbledore. Harry whipped his head round and suddenly realised why he recognised the voices,
they belonged to none other than Remus Lupin and Severous Snape. Lupin saw him glance round,
smiled, and beckoned him over. Harry turned back to Vernon and surveyed him.

"Uncle, can i go and chat with my professor at h... my school" Harry was about to say Hogwarts
but he knew Vernon wouldnt like that. Vernon surveyed the two professors suspiciously.

"Alright boy but no funny business, any of that stuff and you'll be wishing you never lived" Harry
nodded, knowing exactly what funny business meant. He got up from his chair and walked over
to the two professors. Lupin had pulled out a chair for him to sit on and so he sank into it.

"Good day Harry?" Lupin asked. Snape snorted into his drink. Harry eyed him suspiciously. Lupin
put his hand on Harry's shoulder. "I heard what happened" Harry nodded.

"Yeah well...." Harry started. Snape turned to him.

"The fact that the dark lord has returned is not 'well'" Harry nodded with him.

"Weren't you supposed to be doing something for Dumbldore?" Harry asked Snape. Snape eyed
Harry suspiciously.

"Done it already" Came the short answer

"Any way enough of dark talk, do you want a drink?" Lupin asked him. Harry nodded.

"Coke please?" Lupin grinned then called over a waitress. A waitress came ambling over, she
was blonde and in her 20's.

"Afternoon gorgeous" The waitress eyed Lupin, Harry forced down a snicker as Lupin went red
as a tomato. However Snape didn't hold his laughter. "What would you like? Or how could i
put this, What do you want from me?" She said seductively

"Er.... er.... a coke" Harry was beginning to wish he could laugh as he was starting to choke.
Lupin tried to cover his flushed face.

"Right away...." she scribbled something on her pad and ripped the page off. She placed it on
the table next to Lupin. Harry leant over and read it.

Ring me sometime

Harry doubled up with laughter while Lupin was furiously trying to get the waitress away from him.

"Surely you can't do this to customers?" He finally asked.

"No, i cant" She replied "But my boss, the woman over there fancies him" She pointed to
a woman with dark hair and then she pointed at Snape. "She says its fine as long as i get
his number too" By now Harry was nearly dying of laughter, both Lupin and Snape had
gone as red as a tomato. Harry caught movement out of the corner of his eye. The Dursleys
were leaving and Vernon looked as though he was having a mental debate on whether to come
and get him. Vernon stalked over. Harry saw him, got up, and put on his coat.

"Come on boy, we don't have all day, these your professors eh?" He pointed to Lupin and Snape.

"Uh... yeah" Harry asked perplexed as to why Vernon wanted to know his professors.

"Good" He addressed both of the professors.

"Next year if this boy takes one step out of line you may use whatever punishment necessary"
Harry went wide-eyed at this.
"But i do not want him home next year, keep him at that darn school or whatever, i just don't want
him back at my home. I am willing to take him this year but that is that, come on boy" He
dragged Harry off by the scruff of his neck. Lupin and Snape stood astonished that he could
do something like this. Lupin shook his head and thought of Harry having to live with them for
another year. He would have to tell Sirius as soon as he saw him again.

Snape meanwhile was thinking something a lot more different and less thoughtful of Harry.
He was thinking of ways to get all Griffindors guardians to agree to this. He would have a
field day but the only problem was how would Dumbledore agree. Maybe he could place
enchantments on Dumbledore. Snape shook his head to clear his thoughts as he felt the
dark side taking over once more. He couldn't do that to Dumbledore ever, Snape vowed
to kill the next person who said anything bad of Dumbledore. Really he was turning into a
Hagrid, all he had to do was grow a couple of meters, eat more, wash his hair more, dress
in skins of dead animals, have a mother who everyone used to fear. In actual fact Snape thought,
I do have a mother that everyone fears. Mrs Snape was on the board of animagi transformations,
she was the one who did the tests and many people feared the tests. However, in actual fact,
he was not at all like Hagrid. In fact he detested Hagrid.

A voice broke into his thoughts

"I don't like the sound of this, I'm definitely sure something was going on there but I'm
not sure what. Come on i want to find out!" Lupin got up. Snape followed because he
didn't want to be left alone with the deranged waitress. In addition, without wanting to
admit it he also thought Lupin was right. The two professors strode out of the restaurant
much to the horror of the waitress. She hadn't even got the greasy haired man's telephone
number. She was sure to get fired. Off the waitress trudged to the kitchen where a row ensued.

They got into the car park just as the Dursleys car was going out of the service station.
Lupin quickly grabbed Snape and made for their ministry car. They followed the Dursleys
down the motorway.

"I don't see why we have to follow Potter, its not like he's in any harm" Snape sneered at Lupin.

"I know but i have a really bad feeling about this" Lupin replied. Snape stared out the window
knowing the wolf was right. They sat there in silence.

In the Dursleys car all was not well. Dudley was sulking in the back because he hadn't finished
his ice cream and he was even hungrier. He had now taken over most of the seat, which left
Harry right near the door with no room. Hedwig had been shoved in the boot and she wasn't
in a very good mood and kept squawking. Vernon and Petunia sat in front discussing about
'Harry's sort of people' Vernon was now travelling at 90mph. He had just got a new car only
yesterday and was willing to see how fast they could go. Suddenly Dudley started shouting
about people in the road and Vernon looked up, he saw the man and tried to veer out of the
way. Harry was yelling, Dudley was shouting, petunia was screaming and Vernon was also
yelling. The car rolled over and over with all four occupants still inside. The car rolled to a stop
in the hard shoulder. Harry managed to get the door open but he wasn't quite sure how because
he was in a lot of pain. He clambered out and fell to the ground. He crawled a little way away
from the car and then collapsed. He felt claws land on his shoulder. Hedwig hooted reassuringly then
started to hoot louder as footsteps came closer. She took flight, Harry desperately wanted her back
to feel the warmth of her on his face but now Harry vaguely knew someone was standing over him.
Harry knew at once who could have caused this crash to kill him and who would not have any qualms
about standing in the middle of the road. His worst fear was confirmed when his scar burst into pain.

Voldemort bent down towards him.
"Bet we aren't feeling so lucky now Potter..." Voldemort laughed menacingly in his ear. Harry
saw a glitter of silver and knew at once it was a knife. He gulped and stayed as still as possible.
"What to do with this?" Voldemort ran his hand up and down the blade, Harry tried to take in
its appearance but it was impossible. His head was spinning round and round. "Nagani wants
feeding.." Voldemort whispered. Harry knew what was coming as he lay in the side of the road
with Voldemort standing over him. No one could help him. A soft hissing broke through Harry's
thoughts. Voldemort had brought Nagani along and she was really hungry as she said to him in a
sort hissing voice. Voldemort grabbed Harry's arm and looked at the scar where the cut had not
yet healed from last time. He ran the knife down the scar and it burst with blood. Nagani slithered
over and Voldemort held Harry's arm out to Nagani. Harry felt her tongue slither along his arm,
sweeping up the blood. Suddenly it was gone, then an immense pain spread through Harry's
body, he yelled out as white hot pain spread up his arm. Nagani had bit him and she was poisonous.


Lupin at once knew something was wrong when there was a lot of traffic and people screaming
and running away. He turned to Snape.

"Come on, something's happened, get your wand out" Snape and Lupin leapt out the car and
ran for the accident. They pushed past all the people and ran up to the car. Both of them
stopped at the same time because the dark mark was floating lazily in the sky. Someone was
already there in a dark coat. He was standing over a body; Lupin recognised the body at once as
Harry. The figure was holding a wood wand. Lupin yelled at him. He turned, Lupin heard Snape gasp.
The man walked forwards.

"Severous, how nice. You traitor" The voice hissed. Snape held his wand steady in his right hand.
The figure raised its wand threateningly towards Snape. Snape also raised his wand. The figure
merely chuckled to himself, then turned. Snape saw Voldemort send a spell to Harry before
turning to Snape, he smiled a frightening smile then disappeared.
At once it was pandemonium. Snape took charge.

"Lupin, go and search in the car for survivors, I'll get Potter" Lupin nodded, knowing that
Snape knew a lot more about Voldemorts spells than most people. He turned and ran towards
the car. Snape ran over to Harry. Snape could hardly recognise him for all the blood.

"Harry...Harry come on wake up Potter" Snape whispered. Someone bent down besides Snape;
Snape turned towards the stranger. "Who are you?" he asked. The stranger stretched out his hand.

"Benno Casu, department of Magical Mysteries" Snape sighed in relief, he was a wizard.
"Saw what happened, nasty work. Never believed Dumbledore till now. Saw what you-know
-who did to the young boy. Heard what curse he used to" The last part was said as a whisper.
Snape whipped his head round to face the man.

"What was it?" He asked in a quiet voice. The man looked round him for fear of listeners.

"Avada Kevada" Snape paled and reached for the pulse on Harry's wrist. As his hand closed
round Harry's wrist, he felt a bump; it was a lightning shaped bump. Snape turned Harry's hand
over and there on the back of the boys wrist was another lighting bolt-shaped scar, exactly the
same as the one on his head. The man next to him fainted dead away.
