A Simple Wish: Chapter 1

A barely registered sigh escaped the lips of a boy with untamable black hair and glowing emerald orbs for eyes that were slowly dulling. Harry Potter had not left his room since his arrival to his only living relative's house, the Dursleys. To consume time, he had read through all of his schoolbooks and finally managed to grasp an unimaginable amount of understanding on the material.

His Uncle Vernon had been by to visit his shabby room, mostly to punish Harry for worthlessness. The punishments ranged from a single slap across the face to a horrific beating.

Harry winced as he slowly eased himself in to the poor excuse for a bed. The lacerations on his back, as well as the bruising on his ribs from last nights beating, came back with vengeance.

Harry glazed look slowly melted into one of fear. He began to tremble as he sense the inevitable was about to come. Harry Potter was slowly sinking into an uninvited sleep that would slowly bleed into nightmares.

----- "Kill the spare." came out as a hiss that echoed in the darkness.

No. Please.. no. Begged Harry, as his guilt overwhelmed him and he sunk to the floor in emotional pain.

"You killed me Harry. It is all your fault." Echoed the voice of none other than Cedric Diggory. Suddenly the darkness was filled with numerous faces; his parents, Cedric, among so many others that had died because of Voldemort.

"You killed us Harry. It is your entire fault! You deserve to die!" the voices chanted as one.

"N-.No..Yes..It is my fault.All m-my fault..I am so sorry! I didn't mean to! It is all my fault!" Cried out Harry with so much anguish that he collapsed. He continued to lie there, choking his sobs back, the tears pooling around his face.

Suddenly the all but one person disappeared. The red eyes of evil itself narrowed on Harry with little sympathy.

"The great Harry Potter, the boy who lived." Nostrils flared with excitement. "You are worthless boy. You cannot even save those around you, let alone protect yourself from a weak muggle. Pathetic."

"T-Tom, you'll n-never win." Whispered Harry with a hoarse voice, and as much courage as he could muster.

"Ahh Harry," grinned Voldemort, "but I have already won. I have been reborn. I will kill every person you ever cared for. Then, mark my words, I will come for you boy, and you will not survive this time. I will make sure of it."

"N-no! Leave t-them out of it!" cried Harry.

Voldemort smirked evilly. "Where's the fun in that Potter? Now I bid you farewell with a little present.CRUCIO!"

Harry bit through his lip as pain exploded throughout his body. He began to scream as if his limbs were being torn slowly from his body until there was nothing left and his mouth was open in a silent scream. As tears and blood mangled his face, he finally lapsed in unconsciousness.

----- Elsewhere-----

In a large room hidden in the depths of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Order of the Phoenix were startled when a horrific scream pierced the air.
