This is no place to die.
Voldemort had threatened his family if he didn't do exactly what he said. Even though he knew it was wrong, he couldn't just let his family die. They were the only ones left who truly loved him. His mother at least.
He did horrible things but Voldemort promised him that the only person he intended to hurt was Dumbledore and, he stupidly believed him.
But with a snap of his fingers, Voldemort altered the course of the story. Now everything around him was falling apart, and he was the one who led the world to its downfall.

He tried to get up but there was no point, the evil was already upon him.
He couldn't help it. He started to cry.
The darkness pounced and just before it devoured him, the world turned upside down.
