Chapter Eight
The Boy Who Lived (Hagrid and Harry are at the Leaky Cauldron. They are eating something, a snack, dinner, lunch...something.)
Hagrid:
You all right, Harry? You seem very quiet.
Harry:
He killed my parents, didn't he? The one who gave me this.
(Harry points at his scar.)
Harry:
You know, Hagrid. I know you do.
(Hagrid pushes away whatever he's eating and turns to Harry.)
Hagrid:
First, and understand this because it's very important: not all wizards are good, some go bad. Second, I might really screw up this story. A few years ago there was one wizard who was a very happy man. He had everything anyone could ever ask for, thanks to his number one hit song, "Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows". One day, when he was in concert performing his song, someone threw a tomato at him. He was very devastated and took out his wand and killed the poor wizard right there. It was bad, Harry, really bad. Soon he went as bad as one can go. His name was V--. His name was V--.
(Hagrid is having a very hard time trying to get this name out. Harry is also getting very annoyed.)
Harry:
Maybe if you wrote it down?
Hagrid:
No. I can't spell it. All right,
(whispers)
Voldemort.
Harry:
(loudly)
Voldemort?
Hagrid:
Shhhh!!! He was know as Voldemort after he started his killings, be before that he was know at Voldie. I was personally quite fond of "Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows".
(Harry looks around and sees a few wizards and witches staring at him with a look of disgust, some in horror.)
Hagrid:
It was dark times, Harry. Dark times. Voldemort started to gather some followers. Brought them over to the Dark Side.
(As Hagrid is explaining this story, there is a little flash back. It shows a man in black cloaks (Voldemort) walking through a forest. He reaches a gate and enters. He reaches the house and unlocks the door with his wand.
Hagrid:
Anyone that stood up to him ended up dead.
(The man in black cloaks goes into the house and into a room where we see a woman (Lily Potter) holding a baby (Harry). She screams, shuts and locks the door.)
Hagrid:
Your parents fought against him.
(We see Lily in the room holding baby Harry close to her. There is a flash of light and a boom and the door goes flying off the hinges.)
Hagrid:
But nobody lived once he decided to kill them.
(Voldemort points his wand at Lily and there is a green light. Lily screams.)
Hagrid:
Nobody, not one.
(Voldemort points his wand at baby Harry.)
Hagrid:
Except you.
(End of flashback.)
Harry:
Me? Voldemort tried to kill...me?
Hagrid:
Yes. That ain't no ordinary cut on your forehead, Harry. A mark like that only comes from being touched by a curse, an evil curse at that.
Harry:
What happened to, uh, Voldie?
Hagrid:
Well, some say he died. Codswallop...
(thinks to himself)
What is codswallop??
(aloud)
…in my opinion. Nope,
(he stares off into space)
I reckon he's out there still, somewhere. Too tired to carry on. But one thing's certain. Something about you stumped him that night. That's why you're famous. That's why everybody knows your name. You're the boy who lived...lived...lived...
(keeps echoing.)
(Harry looks at Hagrid then looks away. Amazed at why he is famous.)
