The Life of Autumn Potter {Watching the Movies}

0.05 The Girl Who Lived

[Later back in the Leaky Cauldron, Hagrid and Autumn, are at a long table, eating soup. Everything is too quiet, Hagrid soon notices this.]

Hagrid: You all right, Autumn? You seem very quiet.

Autumn: He killed my parents, didn't he? The one who gave me this. You know, Hagrid, I know you do.
Hagrid: [sighs and pushes his bowl away] First, and understand this, Autumn, 'cause it's very important. Not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago, there was one wizard who went as bad as you can go. And his name was V-...his name was V-...

Autumn: Maybe if you wrote it down?

Hagrid: No, I can't spell it. All right. [quietly] Voldemort.

MOst of the hall flinches at the sound of his name

Autumn: Voldemort?

Hagrid: Shh!!

[Autumn looks around to see if anyone heard it]

Hagrid: It was dark times, Harry, dark times. [We flash over to a flashback on the night at Godric's hollow, consisting off a cloaked man walking towards a house, breaking in with his wand, and proceeding to terrorize. Hagrid narrates.] Voldemort started to gather some followers, brought 'em over to the dark side. Anyone that stood up to him ended up dead. Your parents fought against him, but nobody lived once he decided to kill 'em. [Autumn's mother, Lily, screams in pain as she is killed by Voldemort's wand. Green flashes are seen from the windows outside the house. Then, we see Voldemort pointing his wand at an infant Autumn Potter's head.] Nobody...not one. 'Cept you.
Everyone looks to the screen, horrified. The marauders, Lily's friends, and the Potter's had tears streaming down their cheeks. Autumn closed her eyes and leaned her head on George's shoulder, reliving that moment again.

[We flash back to the present time.]

Autumn: Me? Voldemort tried to kill...me?
Hagrid: Yes. That ain't no ordinary cut on your forehead, Autumn. A mark like that only comes from being touched by a curse...and an evil curse at that.

Autumn: What happened to...to You-Know-Who?

Hagrid: Well, some say he died. Codswallop in my opinion. Nope, I reckon he's out there, still, too tired to carry on. But one thing's absolutely certain. Something about you stumped him that night. That's why you're famous. That's why everybody knows your name. You're the Girl who lived.
"I hate that title." Autumn said holding her face in her handsPlatform 9¾

[King's Cross Station. Up on a crossing bridge, Autumn. with her cart of her baggage, equipment and Hedwig, walk beside Hagrid. A couple look at Hagrid, suspiciously.]

Hagrid: What're you looking at? [He then checks watch] Blimey, is that the time? Sorry, Autumn, I'm gonna have to leave you. Dumbledore'll be wanting his- well, he'll be wanting to see me. Now, uh, your train leaves in 10 minutes. Here's your ticket. [hands the train ticket] Stick to it, Autumn that's very important. Stick to your ticket.

[Autumn looks at his ticket.]

Autumn: Platform 9¾? But, Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says Platform 9¾. There's no such thing...is there? [Autumn looks up, but we now see that Hagrid has vanished and Autumn all alone with her cart.]

"Why would you leave her there alone, Hagrid?" Minnie asked, facepalming, looking towards a very embarassed Hagrid. "Don't worry about it, Hagrid. I had help" Autumn said with a smile looking to Ron.
