1 Why Voldemort Was After Harry Potter

(Theory Three)

A/N: Well, here I have, yet another theory that is stored away in my brain ready to be expressed!

Please review! (ok, that was a very short a/n!)

D/C: Anything you recognise isn't mine! It's JK's!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Voldemort was in quite a happy mood. He had only three more descendants to Godric Griffindor to eliminate. Since he had been eliminating them for years it was quite a feat for him.

That night he was going to their house – what was it called? Godric's Hollow. What an obvious name for them to be staying at. It screams 'descendant of Griffindor lives here.' Really makes no sense, actually, he thought.

LATER ON

*~*~*~*~*

"Hand me my wand, Nott." He ordered one of his faithful death eaters.

Nott stumbled over to the dresser where his wand lay, and picked it up carefully and handed it to Voldemort, fear in his eyes.

Voldemort snatched it and grabbed his coat, heading out the door, not bothering to thank the terrified death eater.

Shortly afterwards

Voldemort slammed open the door, and paced into their front room like he owned the place.

"Who's there?" called Lilly Potter as she came through the hallway to see who it was who had broken their door down.

When she saw who it was, she backed to the wall in fear, shaking from top to toe. "JAMES!"

Her husband came running with Harry in his arms, which he didn't know at the time was a big mistake.

"You!" he said to Voldemort, pointing a finger at him in anger. Putting an arm around Lilly, he said to Voldemort, anger evident in his voice. "You can't have him"

"Oh yes I can" he raised his wand mercilessly.

"Fine, if you want it that way" James pulled out his wand defiantly and put baby Harry into his crib.

"Brave aren't you, Potter. I shall have fun defeating you!" Voldemort snarled and shot a curse at him.

James dodged and threw up his wand and yelled another curse, but it was no use as Voldemort blocked it.

Voldemort raised his wand, cackled and suddenly shot a curse at James –

"AVADA KEDABRA!"

There was a burst of green light and James fell to the ground, Lilly screaming as he hit the ground.

She fell to James' limp dead body and cried his name, telling him not to leave her. Sobbing, she stood up and looked over to the crib, where Voldemort was looking into it.

"You can't have him!" She yelled as she shoved Voldemort out of range of the crib.

"Get out of the way!"

"NO!"

"GET OUT OF THE WAY GIRL!"

"NO please no! Don't hurt him!"

Voldemort had a cold look on his face as he raised his wand. Tears flowed down Lilly's face as she braced herself for what was about to happen.

There was a flash of green light and Lilly toppled to the floor.

He advanced on the crib and shot the curse at him too… but something happened.

A burst of green light occurred, but the baby wasn't dead… it bounced onto Voldemort though. He screamed piercingly and fell to the ground. His spirit left his body behind and trailed off into the nothingness.

A/N: Well, that was quite dramatic wasn't it?

I *had* to put in the bit where they got killed otherwise the story wouldn't be big enough…

Do you think I should boost the rating? *Bites lip* This chapter was pretty violent…

Anyhow, please review!

And writing this chapter gave me another idea of a theory! Beware! (laughs)

(turns back to her one word vocabulary) review… review review, review… review re-review!
