“Mom! What’s happening?” I scream as I help her baricade the door. “Give me the girl.” he hissed again, probably halfway up the stairs by now, he was taking his time. My mom, and I cowered in the corner, her blocking me, then with an explosion half the wall was blown apart. And he was standing there, arm, with what I figured to be a wand, outstretched. My mom stood in front of me, cried for mercy, asked to take her life in exchange for mine. I watched in horror as his dark shadowy face curved into a grin. “Silly muggle, stand aside and I will spare your life.” She begged for him to leave me be. He merely raised his wand and with a flash of green light she was dead. I looked at him, my heart pounding, tears burning in my eyes. “The prophecy is no more” he hissed. I saw a flash of green light.
