STARTING ONCE AGAIN

As Dumbledore finished his explanations he looked towards and harry and finally said in a rather cold voice from someone whose voice was always reassuring and clam that for these reasons he had tweaked the elder wand such that once it was broken it would accumulate the destiny and convert it into the necessary energy for reviving the piece of soul left in the wand.

As everyone was trying to make sense of what Albus just explained they heard Hermione's voice ''HORCRUX''. Everyone was stunned and then the young headmaster clapped and complimented her of being right. As he started to tell that it was he who put the young, power hungry riddle on the path of hogwarts after he himself experimented on it but had to stop as it was corrupting him and any further indulgence would lead to others seeing the sign and symptoms and so he had to make that snake carry on to see the extent to which one could go and was surprised to say the least.

Albus was now looking and the immobile harry and raised his wand to complete what was needed to finally finish the ritual and let harry be completely consumed by the hallow as a sacrifice. This short moment was filled with utter dread as Hermione and Ron both moved at same time firing spells to protect their friend and the headmasters shouting from their portraits. This however was nowhere near enough to stop the wizard named ALBUS DUMBLEDORE and the now lifeless body of Harry potter lay on the floor of the Headmasters office of Hogwarts. This was the hero of the magical world finally died after brushing past two deaths.

The remaining three people present were all in extreme states of mind with the man being extremely excited, the girl devastated and crying on the floor while mumbling about how she should have been better prepared and the boy looking ahead with fury in his eyes for being unable to even lift a finger to save his best friend. As the girl and the boy came to reality they threw all caution to wind in an attempt to kill the murderer of their best friend, but sadly met the same tragic fate. The whole room was then set ablaze so as to destroy even the portraits that saw the moment of his rebirth. The man then swiftly disappeared from the castle and would start once again.

The last thoughts of Harry were that of relief, that this nightmare of a life was finally over and that he can finally enjoy his after with his parents. Yes he was sad over the loss of lives over the years and could swear that given another chance he would not place his fate over to anyone other than himself.

As he faded away he never imagined to be able to open his eyes once again, but here he was sleeping on a very tiny makeshift bed in a cupboard under the stairs of a family he never wished to see again. He switched on the small light and looked around curiously only to find that he did seem to come back in time and was both sad and excited. He then opened his cupboard and moved towards the living room to look at the time, it was still over an hour before he had to get up to help his aunt with the household chores.

He returned back to the closet and only came out once he heard his aunt's voice demanding him to wake up. He silently did all work and took a closer look at the date on the newspaper and found out that today was his last birthday before he finds out about the magical community. He was glad that he will now have enough time to make some preparations before going to Hogwarts.

Before going to school he went towards his uncle and said in a stuttering tone that he would like to withdraw from school as he does not wish to waste any money on something that is obviously bad at. His uncle was surprised at first but then looking at the weak and frail boy before him he seemed happy that he did not need to waste any more money and agreed. His uncle went to the school and withdrew his name before going to the office.

With limited amount of work at home and ample of free time Harry asked his aunt's permission to head out. He knew his relatives were not very keen on his well being and would not care so he was sure to get the permission as long as he returns to clean up after everyone has had their supper. He knew Hermione's address and that it was not very far away.

He reached the address and rang the bell only to find out that hermione was currently at school and school and would return in two hours. When he was asked who he was he replied by saying that he was from a nearby area and would like to know her as a friend. The mother was surprised to hear that some child had specifically come to befriend their daughter. It was not hidden from them that their child could get a little irritating and intimidating to someone their own age. Harry asked for their permission to stay till she arrives and they were more than happy to welcome him into their home.
