Harry Potter and the Void of Emptiness

Chapter three: Dream Come True

Harry was tossing and turning in his bed. He was having another vision, but this time it was different.

He wasn't Nagini or the dark lord, it seemed as though he was standing in a room, witnessing.

He saw Voldemort glowering over a cowering man.

'Wormtail ' Harry thought to himself. Then came Voldemorts' high, cold voice, "You have, yet again, disappointed me, Wormtail. When you broke that glass case in my lab, you succeeded in releasing Lily and James Potter."

"No, please my lord, I didn't mean to! It was an accident, please don't kill me!" Peter stuttered. The dark lord smiled and whispered, "No. I won't kill you, I still have use for you, but don't think you can go unpunished. Crucio! "

Harry woke with a start. He thought maybe he had just witnessed proof that his parents were alive. 'and they'll come here! ' Harry pondered excitedly. Then he heard a yell from downstairs. He checked the clock, the one he repaired at the age of nine.

'hmmm 3:00 am. I wonder what's goin' on? '

Shortly, he heard a male voice shout "STUPIFY! " and then a crash. "VERNON?" Aunt Petunia's voice carried up the stairs. Then a gasp of shock, and a cool female voice saying,"Sister, get out of the way, or I'll hex you. We're here to get Harry."

Mom? Dad? They're here already? He wondered. Just then his tired mind kicked in and it hit him. They're here! My Mom and Dad, I can't wait to get the hell outta here! I wonder what they're like? he thought rapidly, as he gathered his school things and Hedwig's cage. The snowy owl hooted tiredly.

He was about to get his books under the floorboard, when the door burst open, light flooding in the dark room.

In the doorway, stood the two most important people in Harry's life. "M..Mom? Dad?" They nodded and smiled. "Your alive!" Harry yelled as he leaped at and embraced his long-lost parents. "Oh Harry, you're so handsome, just like your father!" his mother whispered, while brushing a lock of jet black hair from his face. "We thought the dark lord killed you. What happened?" James asked. "Well..." Harry began. "He tried to kill me after you two were gone, and the curse deflected off me and hit Voldemort instead. But he IS back, the dark lord came back in my fourth year, during the Triwizard tournament, Which I won an.."... "WHAT?" James interrupted. "YOU WON THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU ENTERED?" He thundered. "I didn't," Harry quicky sputtered," a death eater in disguise put my name in the cup,"

Lily and James gave each other a saddened look, and said,"You can tell us everything when we get to the Potter manor, and we give you your inheritance." Harry's jaw dropped. "Wait... did you say manor? What inheritance?" Lily and James just smiled, ruffling Harry's unkempt hair, and started grabbing his luggage.

So Harry Potter, newly reunited with his parents, packed his trunk and walked out the door, never to return to number four Privet drive.
