I woke up to an unfamiliar cealing.
Hagrid: "Good morning Harry. You have been asleep for a good 30 hours now. How are you feeling?"
I look arround the bedroom until I spoted Hagrid. He was covered in bandages.
I jump out of my bed and hurry to check on the giant.
Me:"Hagrid, are you ok!? I'm so sorry I attacked you!"
Hagrid:"Don't mind it. No one could blame you for loseing your head in a situation like that! As for my wounds, I have already recieved treatment. Gave the nurses quite a day, as those claws of yours caried some sort of magical curses. But again, I'm fine now, and I'll be able to take the bandages off tomorrow."
Me:"Are you sure you are all right?"
Hagrid:"Yes. My greatest worry now is you Harry. So, how are you feeling now with everything that happened?"
Me:"I don't know. I let it all out I guess."
Hagrid:" What about backlashes from that transformation you went throught?"
Me:"None. I am ok now."
Hagrid:"You sure? That hole in your chest is still there."
My eyes widen at Hagrid's claim, and I hurrydly lift my shirt to check(where did these clothes come from?). Look and behold, my hollow hole is still there. This makes me very confused, as I feel normal. If anything, it felt more like a cosmetic change then anything else.
Me:"Weirdly enought, I feel normal."
Hagrid:"We will need to pay close atention to it before writing it off as harmless."
Me:"Got it."
Hagrid:"Ok, now. Let's continue our talk from before. Do you know how your parenrs died?"
I nod.
Me:"Car crash."
Hagrid:"Car cra-!? Ugh!"
He took a breath to calm down.
Hagrid:" Ah, Harry, I don' know if I'm the right person to tell you, but someone's gotta, and it's best you know as much as I can tell you, mind that I can't tell you everything, as it's a great mystery, parts of it...."
I nod.
Hagrid:"It begins, I suppose, with- with a person called- well, I don't like saying his name if I can help it. No one does."
Me:"Why not?"
Hagrid:"Because- because people are still too scared of him. See, there was this wizard who went... bad. As bad as you could go. Worse. Worse than worse. His name was..."
Hagrid gulped, but no words came out.
Me:"Could you write it down?"
Hagrid:"No, I'm out of ink. All right- Voldemort."
Hagrid shuddered.
Hagrid:"Please say you got that. I don't wanna say it again!"
Me:"I did."
Hagrid:"Thank goodness. Anyway, this- this wizard, about twenty years ago now, started looking for followers. Got 'em, too- some joined out of fear, some wanted a bit of his power, cause he had himself power, all right. Dark days, Harry. You never knew who to trust, no one dared get friendly with strange wizards or witches... terrible things happened. He was taking over. Of course, some stood up to him, but he killed them without mercy. One of the only safe places left was Hogwarts. Because the headmaster Dumbledore was the only one You-Know-Who was afraid of. Now, your mom and dad were the best witch and wizard I've ever known. Head boy and girl at Hogwarts in their day! And they wore two of the few that stood up to You-Know-Who. They went into hideing once their identitys wore uncovered and You-Know-Who put them in his crosshairs, but he found them. After that, all that everyone knows is, he turned up in the village where you wore all living, on Halloween ten years ago. You wore just a year old. He came to your house and- and-"
Hagrid suddenly took out a very dirty, spotted handkerchief from his pocket and blew his nose with a sound like a foghorn.
Me:"he killed them, diden't he?"
Hagrid noded.
Hagrid:"Sorry, but it's very sad for me. I knew your mom and dad, and you could never find nicer people."
Hagrid blew his nose again.
Hagrid:"Anyway... You-Know-Who killed them. And then- and this is the real mystery of the thing- he tried to kill you, too. Wanted to make a clean job of it, I suppose, or maybe he just felt like it. But- but he couldn't do it. Never wondered how you got that mark on your forehead? That was no ordinary cut. That's what you got when his curse touched you. The same curse that he and his followers used to kill countless, simply didn't work on you, and that's why you are famous, Harry. No one ever survived his signature curse, no one except you, and he killed some of the strongest witches and wizards of the time, and you, who wore only a baby at the time, somehow lived!"
Me:"Maybe his curse is limited to adults?"
Hagrid:"No. He killed children before. *sigh* I took you from the ruined house myself, on Dumbledore's orders. Brought you to- to-."
Hagrid started trembling in rage.
Me:"I understand. And I don't blame you. No one could have guessed that the Dursleys would have treated me the way thay did. You were just trying to give me my best shot."
Hagrid hugged me and started to howl like a wounded animal. I guess it is his time to cry and let it all out, isen't it?
I stood there conforting Hagrid until the giant managed to calmed down.
Hagrid:"Thank you. I needed that."
Me:"No problem."
I say with a smile.
Me:"But Hagrid, what happened to this Voldy guy?"
Hagrid:"It is a good question, Harry. One that was also left unansweared to this day. He simply disappeared! Vanished. Soon after he tried to kill you. It makes you even more famous. He was getting more and more powerful by the day, so why would he go? Some say he died. Codswallop, in my opinion. Some say he's still out there, biding his time, waiting for something. I also don' believe on this theory, as people who wore on his side came back to ours. Most of us reckon he's still out there somewhere but lost his powers. Too weak to carry on. Cause something hited him hard, Harry. There was something going on that night he hadn't counted on. I dunno what it was, no one does. But something caused his curse to somehow rebound out of you and hurt him badly."
I took a few moments to digest it all.
