What To Do When Your World Turns Upside Down; Prologue

" 'Twas the night before my birthday, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even the big fat louse." Harry snickered softly to himself. He did enjoy poetry, after all.

Alright, so it wasn't the night before... It was the morning of!

"Happy birthday to you," he sang to himself, "happy birthday day to you, you look like Lord Voldemort and you cry like—.. What's that?" he exclaims. A huge thing was coming at his window! And not the usual thing either!

'An attack!' was the last thing he remembered thinking as the thing collided into him, knocking him unconscious.

"Pettigrew!" the 'thing' finished for him. It was none other than Lord Voldemort himself!

"Ennervate," he hissed, a pretty violet light revived young Harry.

"W-what? HOLY CRAP! What are you doing here?" he asked, his left hand frantically searching for his wand... Nope, not there. Voldemort laughed and held out his left hand, in it was Harry's precious wand.

"Do not worry yourself, young Sean. Everything will be fine from now on, I promise," Voldemort purred at the boy. Harry gave him a weird look.

"Err...I'll just be going then," Harry made a mad dash to the door, but was frozen by a blue light from Lord Voldemort.

"Now now, my son. Can't have you running off, now can we?" Voldemort says with a slight laugh. "You and I need to talk."
