Chapter 4: Lily and James Potter's Death (1)

While Kai was sitting in his "new" car waiting, he was musing over the fact that the witch from earlier had the golden energy inside of her as well.

Kai theorized that the golden energy was, in fact, magical energy and that the wisps of golden energy were strands of raw magical energy.

In the books, the people who were born with enough magical affinity were considered wizards or witches. Normal wizards and witches didn't know that there was raw magical energy in their surroundings and instead thought that they were automatically born with a certain amount of talent and energy.

However, Kai thought differently- what if you tried to actively absorb the magical energy, will you become stronger and have greater control.

Then Kai's thought process moved in the direction of maybe he could become a wizard if he had the magic energy inside of him. Although he only started absorbing the energy on the current day, he was glowing faintly. So maybe he could use spells, but that brought him to another problem- HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE MAGIC!

Kai didn't have enough information to actively research magic, so he had to put his plans on a halt until he had more information. Kai assumed that he will probably see a wizard battle today between James and Lord Voldemort.

Kai got himself ready for when Lord Voldemort would stride down the street with his large black cloak and waited patiently.

Tom Riddle's POV

Tom Riddle was feeling gleeful and excited, he hadn't felt that way for more than a year. Because his faithful servant Severus Snape had reported a prophecy that he had heard, while he was eavesdropping on his former Transfiguration professor Albus Dumbledore. The prophecy had foretold that a boy of a family that had defied him three times would be born at the end of July and would rise to fight against the Dark Lord (Voldemort) as his equal.

Ever since that prophecy Tom (Lord Voldemort) had been searching for the Potters but alas they had somehow gotten information that he was hunting them down and had gotten Dumbledore to personally create a Fidelius secret spell, that would protect them from him.

(The Fidelius charm is an extremely difficult charm to cast that can be used to conceal a secret inside someone's soul. A dwelling whose location has been protected by the charm becomes invisible. intangible, unplottable and soundproof).

However, they wanted to switch locations to Godric's Hollow and needed a new secret keeper, the position was originally meant to go to that traitorous scum of the Black house-, Sirius Black. However, he declined and let Wormtail become the keeper, to keep up appearances.

Their plan would have worked for a relatively long time, and he would have hunted down Black instead of the real keeper. But they didn't know that Wormtail had betrayed them a year ago and had started working for him, supplying important information that caused many of the "Order of the Phoenix's" operations to fail and many of their operatives to die.

The moment Wormtail became the Secret Keeper he managed to contact Lord Voldemort and tell him the location of the Potters' hideout.

Lord Voldemort thought to himself that he was getting so worked up about killing a mere baby and while some might view the act as shameless and evil. But he didn't care about morality instead he had to stop anything that threatened his existence even if it was a small defenceless baby.

Tom strolled through the street that the Potters were living on. Over his regular robe, he had to wear a hood so that the filthy "muggles" wouldn't create a ruckus and cause the Potters to be on guard. Even though the Potters wouldn't be hard to deal with, if they called for backup it would become troublesome if he would be besieged and they managed to escape.

He was almost in front of their cottage when he felt a gust of wind and a slight coldness on his forehead. Tom felt something dripping down his hand, when he looked down he saw a small cut on his arm. He couldn't remember if he had grazed it on his journey to the Potters' residence, but such trivial matters could wait for another day.

He quickly cast a spell that would heal his arm and walked down the cobblestone path to stand in front of the door. He stopped for a moment thinking to himself after he steps into the house kills both the son and the child and spares the girl because Severus had begged him, he would destroy the last obstacle that stood in place of his total domination over the wizarding world!
