Chapter 16: The fall of the Potters

ONE YEAR LATER Voldemort growled, "You want something done you have to do it yourself" he thought when he had heard the news from a loyal follower Peter Pettigrew that he was now the Potter's keeper and knew where they were hiding out. After three failed attempts, Voldemort was annoyed at the Potter's escaping. Everyone thought Sirius Black was the Potter's secret keeper, so this would work perfectly for Voldemort to have Sirius Black prosecuted, and out of there way. "Theres no way you can fail" Ellie assured him, "The potters are weak" Peter had commented as well. Voldemort by now was well feared and known, as he marched down the side walk towards the Potter's house, Peter scurried down to his apartment, Ellie dressed as a muggle waiting down the street at a bus stop to look out for anything suspicious. Voldemort walked over to the door, opening it and walked in, seeing James. "RUN LILY ITS HIM!" James hollared, Ellie heard it from the street and quickly put a silencing spell on the house and locking spell. Lily hid in the next room with Harry trying to open the sliding door, as James fell dead, she was face to face now with Voldemort begging for her and Harry's life, she soon screamed and fell dead to the Avada. Voldemort then attempted to use it on Harry Potter, the spell reflected as the baby cried out into the night, the house exploding to ruins, as Voldemort huried out the back of the rubble to the bus stop, where Ellie waited, he appeared weak and almost passed out as they apparated back to the Manor. Luckily they had found someone who offered to have Voldemort live off their life source, and Tom was combined with Martin Quirell that year, the followers all slid away still strongly supporting Voldemort, who they now assumed was Dead. Ellie soon got a job with the Daily Prophet and wrote articles about random things.
