The following is a prologue I wrote up concerning an idea I had that wouldn't leave me alone until it was out of my head. It is a Harry Potter/Nightmare on Elm Street crossover. I hope you enjoy the prologue of All I Have To Do Is Dream

1…2 Freddy's coming for you…

He was trapped. He knew the parents would be angry but he honestly didn't think they would take it this far. He was trapped in the boiler room of his own home with no place to run.

"Time to pay for your crimes you murderer!" an angry parent yelled.

What's the most they can do? He realized quite a bit when he smelled the smoke. A moltov cocktail burst into flames at the bottom of the stairs. More and more rained down. He was going to die. He knew it. They were going to burn him alive.

'At least Kathryn was safe' was Freddy's final thought as the flames consumed him.

3…4 Better lock the door…

"It's the only thing we can do on short notice without leaving the country and you know that we can't do that Lily," James Potter said.

Lily glanced at Harry playing on the rug with Padfoot, "I know James. I wish we could do more but I guess it's the only option right now."

"I'll let Dumbledore know to stop by tomorrow so we can be placed under the Fidelius Charm," James said.

"Are you sure you want to make the switch with Peter?" James asked one final time.

"It will throw the suspicion off me. Everyone knows we're like brothers," Sirius said running a hand through his hair.

"Are you up to this Peter?" James said turning towards him.

"Yes," Peter said with a shaky breath.

5…6 Better get a crucifix…

"Lily! Take Harry and go!" James Potter shouted as Voldemort burst in the door.

Lily sat Harry in his crib as she pulled out the small crucifix she had since she was a little girl. She had read about an ancient protection rite that if she sacrificed herself for one that she loved and she had a pure heart and intent that they would be saved. It reminded her a lot of the story of Jesus she remembered from going to church when she was growing up. She knew she didn't have much time and quickly scratched the runes into her arm. She just finished when the door burst opened.

7…8 Better stay up late…

Dumbledore finally got Minerva to head back to Hogwarts so that he could lay the wards. He worked for an hour putting layers of wards over the property tying them all together with the blood wards he created from Lily's sacrifice.

Dumbledore put the final touches on the blood wards. They flickered a bit but snapped into place. A ghost of a smile appeared on his face as he walked away from Privet Drive and apparated back to Hogwarts not knowing the nightmare he left behind.

9…10 Freddy's back again….
