Title: My Downfall
'I'll have you now Potters! You all should have realised that it is futile to escape from the clutches of Lord Voldemort, heir of Salazaar Slytherin!' I laughed high and cold when Peter Pettigrew told me that he would hand me the Potters. Glad as I was to have the Potters under my power, I felt a certain sense of contempt for Peter's betrayal of his friends. '
You know Peter, I've been wondering, Why are you so willing to hand over your best friends to me?' I said in a would-be casual voice.' W-why, my d-devotion to you is eternal master. The Potters mean nothing to me. I would do anything f-for you.' Peter squeaked.
' You liar,' I said coldly, sneering.' You are just afraid of being killed. Your skin means more to you than anything else, doesn't it, Wormtail?' I paused, enjoying the effect my words were having on Peter. His eyes contracted with fear and he was trembling.' No m-master.' He stammered.'I-.'
' Silence! I have no time for you. The time is ripe, let's go.' I travelled to the Potters's house and blasted the front door open. Splintered bits of wood flew everywhere. I strode into the house. James Potter and his wife and son were in the living room. James shouted,'Lily take Harry and go! I'll hold him off. Go, run, quick!'
I laughed inwardly. 'You fool,' I sneered at him. 'You think it so easy to hold lord Voldemort off?' James plunged his hand into his robes groping for his wand. 'It's too late Potter!' I cried and pointed my wand at him. 'Avada Kedavra!' James fell forward and sprawled on the floor. He was dead.
I chased after Lily Potter and her son. I cornered her in one of the bedrooms. 'Stand aside girl.' I said. 'Not Harry. Please not Harry..' She whimpered as I advanced.'Take me. Kill me instead.' I actually planned to kill Harry and let her live. The thought of her misery with both her husband and son dead made me shiver with excitement, but as Lily refused to step aside I lost my temper and used the Killing curse on her.'Avada Kadavra!' and she moved no more.
I stared at Harry. He was sitting on the floor looking at me. 'Your parents were fools Harry Potter. But you will be joing them soon.' I whispered. My lips curled into a smile. 'Avada Kedavra!'
I watched green light blasting from my wand strike Harry. But what's this? The green light rebounded and it struck me. 'Arrrgggh!' I was reduced to a ghost. No worst. A vapour. I heard bawling coming from Harry. He was still alive.
