A.N: I know this chapter is short but I had to get it started before I lost my mind. Oh yes, and this is a hermionegranger's challenge fic. I just haven't really written it fully yet. Not to mention I don't really think I have to tell you that I don't own the Harry Potter universe.

The summer hol's had started out as painfully as they always did, that is at least for one harry Potter. You see it was his summer between his 4th and 5th years at Hogwarts. Hogwarts as you may or may not know depending on if you are a muggle or magical folk is a school for.. Well a I said magical folk. It's full title was: 'Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry' which was a very respectable school at that. That is unless you were the Dursleys.

Wait, wait I'm getting ahead of myself...

You see this story really began some years ago, which if you were a wizard or witch you'd know by heart. It started with a dark wizard by the name of Tom Marvolo Riddle, or more commonly known as Lord Voldemort. Though not all dark wizards are evil this one was, in addition to being evil he was also the heir of Salazar Slytherin, a notable wizard in many peoples eyes as he was one of the founders of Hogwarts along with his accomplices G. Gryffindor, H. Hufflepuff, and R. Ravenclaw, although they are not really important at this point.

Voldemort was able to hold the magical world in terror for quite some many years until an event that puzzled magical historians for years. This event was his 'destruction' on October 31st 1981 by a young boy named Harry Potter who was just one year of age. Sadly this event caused the boy to be known the magical world round and caused quite a stir years later as the boy made his entrance back into the magical world shortly after his 11th birthday by his entrance into Hogwarts. And even more depressing for this young lad was the fact that he yet again had to do battle with Voldemort in his 1st, 2nd, and 4th years at Hogwarts. In Harry's 4th year and 4th battle with Voldemort there was an unexpected turn, someone else was there and lost their life. That someone was Cedric Diggory.

And that is really where this story begins.
