2. Chapter 1: The Vow

Chapter 01: The Vow

============

Privet Drive was quiet. Not a single person stirred anywhere...almost. Inside of Number 4 Privet Drive, in a small upstairs bedroom, a young boy shot up out of bed and grasp his lightening shaped scar.

Harry Potter had just had another nightmare. He had been having them ever since the conclusion of the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts nearly a month ago.

Kill the spare.

These words haunted Harry every night. Shortly after he and Cedric Diggory, the other Hogwarts champion, had taken the Triwizard Cup together they had been transported to a distant graveyard and encountered Wormtail.

Wormtail.

Harry felt a rage of fury rise in him as he thought of his father's former friend, Peter Pettigrew. It was Wormtail who had killed Cedric. It was Wormtail who betrayed his parent's to Lord Voldemort.

Voldemort.

Now Harry's rage threatened to explode. Lord Voldemort had killed his parents and tried to kill him nearly fifteen years ago. His mother's sacrifice had saved him then, causing Voldemort's curse to backfire, sentencing him to 12 years of wandering the earth a mere shell of his former self. Voldemort had tried three times to come back and Harry had defeated him each time. Until now.

Voldemort had now returned and was slowly rebuilding his power. Harry had already received several letters via owl post from his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermonie Granger. In them they gave him the details of several small incidents of attacks by Voldemort's followers, the Death Eaters. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, was still being a git and refused to admit that Voldemort had returned. Harry suspected that Dumbledore was working on a way to fight him, but no one seemed to know what he was doing.

Nearly shaking with fury at these thoughts, Harry got out of bed and walked to his dresser mirror. Looking at his reflection he made a decision. Voldemort was back and wouldn't stop until he had killed Harry and conquered the world. Harry vowed that from this moment on, he would do whatever it took to stop him.

"You'll pay Voldemort. For everything. I swear on the graves of you have killed. You will pay."
