The Return Of The Dark Lord

A short story by Chris Henderson

 

(Thing to know before you begin this amazing journey: This book switches between Albus’s perspective and Lord Voldemort’s perspective each chapter.)

 

Prologue

 

“Dad do I have to go?”

“Well of course you do son” said Harry Potter.

“But what if I’m put in Slytherin?” ,exclaimed Albus Potter.

“Then Slytherin will have gained an amazing wizard.” Harry replied, “but if you so desire the Sorting can put you in Gryffindor as long as you ask for it.”

“Ok. Well I guess I will see you again on Christmas”

“Goodbye son.” And the Hogwarts Express departed leading young Albus into the Wizarding World.

 

Chapter 1: The Journey to Hogwarts

Albus, shaking with excitement, found a compartment to sit in. He went with his brother James. Sadly his sister Lily was too young and wasn’t able to go with them. They also met new faces like Scorpio Malfoy (which is in fact nice to them) , Scarlett Finnagan, and Rosaline Longbottom. “So what house are you all wanting to be sorted in?” asked Albus.

“Gryffindor!” shouted Scorpio and Scarlett.

“I want to be in Ravenclaw like my mum” said Rosaline.

James, not being a loud talker said “Gryffindor”.  

Once they reached Hogwarts they were in awe. They heard that after the war that Hogwarts was destroyed. But the Headmistress, Minerva McGonagall, wanted it completely repaired by the time term resumed. “It’s so amazing!” shouted Scarlett, hardly able to contain herself.  

There was a very tall, round man there to greet him. Albus and James were able to recognize him immediately. It was Hagrid. Their dad had told them many stories about him. “Hello first years!” bellowed Hagrid.  

“Hello Hagrid” said Albus and James. Hagrid, not knowing who they were asked them who they were.

“We are the sons of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley.”exclaimed Albus.

“Well are you now, well that’s great! Nice meetin’ you both.” Replied Hagrid, “but we should better be getting inside so we don’t miss the feast, and the sortin’ ceremony o’course. And they sailed away on the magic boats into the light of the castle.

 

Chapter 2: The Rise of a Shadow in the Darkness

The ashes rose from the earth like a dark plague. The soul was screaming the name “Harry Potter!” while it twisted and turned in the foggy air. Then the shape of a man was forged out of the shadows. “I am…alive” he said, “and I shall seek revenge!” The person that said this was none other than the great Lord Voldemort himself.

He found himself on solid rock covered with debris. And as he looked around he saw a broken, wooden bridge. He knew where this bridge had come from. He looked above him and peered at a great castle. It was Hogwarts. “I think it’s time for me to give this school a visit. He then found a wand on the ground. It was the Elder Wand. “So, I see Harry Potter didn’t destroy it after all.” And he grabbed it and disapparated into the darkness.  

He then walked up to Malfoy Manor and said, “Well, well, well look who it is… Bellatrix Lestrange.”

“I’m back my Lord and I’m ready to fight!” yelled Bellatrix.

“We must wait until the time is right” replied Voldemort. And they both walked away into the dark of Malfoy Manor.

 

Chapter 3: McGonagall’s Speech

There was a lot of talking in the Great Hall. Most of the first years were telling stories of how their parents survived at the Battle of Hogwarts. Being Harry’s son, Albus got all the attention. “My dad was fighting Voldemort while his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were trying to kill his pet snake Nagini.” He said, “the snake was about to kill them when Neville Longbottom jumped out with the Sword of Gryffindor to kill it. Lord Voldemort grew weak and very vulnerable, so my dad destroyed him right then and there.”

“That’s amazing!” Scorpio shouted all the way across from the Slytherin table.

“I never knew my dad did that!” shouted Rosaline from the Ravenclaw table.

“Be quiet everyone please.” McGonagall said while silencing the room by hitting the spoon on the side of her glass. “I would like to say a few words before we depart to our separate dormitories. Twenty-six years ago today Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and countless others strode their way into this hall for the very first time. They never knew that a war was coming, but when it did come the majority of them survived. Harry destroyed Lord Voldemort once and for all. There is no longer a need to be afraid, our school is safe now thanks to these brave heroes. Hopefully nothing like the Battle of Hogwarts ever happens again. So, goodnight and sleep well. You are dismissed.”

They all went to bed. And while they were asleep a deep voice was echoing in the air saying “War is coming to the castle again.”  

 

Chapter 4: The New Plan

Several Death Eaters were crowding around the gates of Malfoy Manor. Bellatrix came and opened it for them. They all came rushing into the house so they could get a glimpse of the Dark Lord. “Welcome my friends,” Voldemort said, “take a seat.” All of them sat down except for one. Severus Snape. He went straight over to the Dark Lord and started whispering. While he was talking he drew from his robe a wand. He then said a very familiar incantation. Voldemort leaped right out of his chair and yelled to everybody saying that Snape was trying to kill him. Snape immediately fled the manor and disapparated. He landed at the great school of Hogwarts and rushed in. He found the headmistress, Minerva McGonagall, panting he said “Voldemort is alive and he is hatching a new plan to raid the castle and kill everybody in it.”

 

Chapter 5: The Warning

Albus rushed to his next class ready to use his wand for the first time when the intercom came on saying that all students and staff should come to the Great Hall immediately. Albus, thinking it was some kind of banquet, ran happily there. The Headmistress looked like she was very worried. She began saying “There is a war coming.” Everybody started talking amongst themselves and quieted down when she started speaking again. “As you know the Dark Lord Voldemort died almost twenty years ago, but that is sadly not true. He has found the Elder Wand and attempts to raid this castle again. He will kill everybody in his path.” The students started screaming and crying when they heard this. Before she could say anything else several windows shattered outside the door. And she knew that this was the end. Voldemort was coming.

 

Chapter 6: The End Of Hogwarts

“This is our time to get our revenge we have been seeking for twenty years” proclaimed Voldemort. They busted through the doors. The students started screaming and running. Voldemort walked through the dead bodies of the children to walk straight up to young Albus. “So this is Harry’s son” he said.

“What do you want with me?” asked Albus in a shaky voice.

“Oh, I just want to murder you like your father murdered me” “AVEDA KEDRAVA!” Voldemort shouted. He smiled at his work and walked off like nothing happened. Little Albus was dead.  

Harry Potter got the news of the raid of Hogwarts and went straight to it. He met Ron and Hermione there fighting the Death Eaters. “Where are my sons?” he asked crying.

“They’re dead” replied Hermione “Bellatrix killed James and Voldemort killed Albus. Harry started screaming and crying at the same time because he knew that his family was broken and would never be able to be repaired. He saw Voldemort, Fenrir, and Bellatrix rushing at them. “RUN!” he yelled. However it was too late. Hermione was caught by Fenrir. He got his hand around her throat and whispered to only where she could hear “This is what happens when you mess with a werewolf”. He then choked her and she was dead with blood trickling out her mouth. Harry then looked at Ron and found him in the arms of Bellatrix. She had a knife held to his throat and said to him “Say hello to Molly for me sweetie.” Next thing Harry knew Ron was on the ground for he was dead too. Harry knew that Voldemort was going to kill him so he faced him and said “You tore my family apart. You killed my sons, my friends, but you won’t kill me.”

“Oh yes I will” replied Voldemort. A blast of green light shot out from his wand and went straight towards Harry. “The Boy Who Lived is now The Boy Who Died” and the Dark Lord and his fellow Death Eaters walked away leaving behind all the dead. The Death Eaters started shouting “The Dark Lord has returned!” and they strode into the darkness of night for the people of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would never see the light of day again.
