Rewriting History [Harry Potter Fanfic]

Ch. 1 The Preface

" Avada Kedavra!"

That was the last words seventeen-year-old Harry James Potter heard coming from the lips of his deadly enemy, the Dark Wizard, Lord Voldemort.

When Harry saw the bright green light engulf him, he didn't feel any pain. He was surprised that his death was quick and painless, and he wondered if that is how his parents felt when they died almost seventeen years ago.

In the dark misty Forbidden Forest, seventy-one-year-old Lord Voldemort manically laughed when he saw Harry's lifeless body fall to the ground. Surrounding the Dark Lord, all the Death Eaters cheered. Meanwhile, seventy-year-old Rebeus Hagrid screamed and cried when he saw Harry's usually bright green eyes filled with life stare at him blankly.

" Now that Headmaster Dumbledore and the Chosen One are gone, it is time to rule-" Lord Voldemort stopped talking when he saw his hands starting to crack. He looked at his pale hands with mixed emotions, feeling his whole body getting weak.

" My Lord?" A forty-two-year-old Lucius Malfoy eyed Lord Voldemort.

All the Death Eaters stopped cheering when they saw their Dark Lord's whole body cracking as though it was decaying.

Hagrid stared at Lord Voldemort with emotionless black eyes. " Mother Magic is upset with you," He speaks, sounding mysterious. " Mother Magic is upset with all of her children," He looked at the Death Eaters.

" No. No. NO!" Lord Voldemort cried out, looking horrified when he felt his magic leaving him. He looked at his surroundings, seeing Lucius and other Death Eaters freaking out when they felt their magic fading away and their bodies cracking and decaying.

Despite having so many chains on his hands and feet, Hagrid crawled toward Harry's lifeless body.

" Harry," Hagrid croaked with tears falling from his black eyes. " My Dear Boy," He cried, remembering meeting an innocent eleven-year-old Harry Potter for the first time.

Hagrid reached Harry, carefully holding the shorter male close to him. " I am so sorry," He cried while hiding his face against Harry's unruly black hair. " Please, Mother Magic, don't take my boy away from me," He begged but knew Harry was gone.

" WHY!" Lord Voldemort cried out, causing Hagrid to lift his head and watch the Dark Wizard and his Death Eaters melt, becoming mud-like or fading away with the wind.

" Harry!" A feminine voice called out to Harry.

Harry groaned, and his whole body shivered, feeling cold.

" Harry James Potter! Wake up this instant!" The feminine voice sternly speaks.

Harry opened his bright green eyes and blinked when he saw a white ceiling above him.

" Am I in heaven?" Harry asked.

" No," The feminine voice responded.

" You are in the in-between," The feminine voice informed Harry.

Harry's bright green eyes continued to blink. He got up from the floor and looked at his surroundings. He noticed that he was at Kings' Cross Station.

Footsteps walking towards Harry from behind grabbed his attention. He turns around, seeing a figure approach him from the shadows.

" Headmaster Dumbledore?" Harry called out, thinking that his Headmaster had come to take him to Heaven.

" Albus Dumbledore is not going to greet you, Harry," The feminine voice speaks, causing Harry to look confused.
