The three of us sit around a table. It has been very quiet since we got our wands and realized that someone had given us the scar and not something.

"Are you two, alright? You seem very quiet."

I sigh and cross my arms, "he killed our parents didn't he? The one who gave us this," I point to my scar and look at Hagrid "you know, Hagrid. I know you do."

Hagrid sighs and looks between my brother and I, "First and understand this you two, cause this is very important. Not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago, there was one wizard who went as bad as you can go and his name was V.."

I look at hagrid as he stops and stutters for a moment.

"Maybe if you wrote it down."

"No i cant spell it."

I sigh and sit forward has he sighs back and whispers, "his name was voldemort."

"Voldemort," Harry asks and Hagrid quickly shushes him.

"It was dark times, i tell you, dark times. Voldemort started to gather some followers, brought 'em over to the dark side. Anyone who stood up to him ended up dead. Your parents fought against him, but nobody lived once they decided to kill 'em. Nobody, not one. Except for you two."

"Us," Harry questions and I nod while staring at Hagrid "Voldemort tried to kill...us?"

"Yes. That ain't no ordinary cut on both of your foreheads. A mark like that only comes from one being touched by a curse and an evil curse at that."

Harry looks around and goes into a deep train of thought as I speak up with thousands of questions, "what happened to Vo.. you-know-who?"

"Well, some say that he died. Codswallop, in my opinion. Nope, I reckon he's still out there, too tired to carry on. But one thing's absolutely certain, something about the two of you stumped him that night. That's why you're famous. Thats why everybody knows your name. Harry is the boy who lived and you are the girl who lived. You are the twins who survived Voldemort."

I sit there confused and look at my brother as he is doing the same thing. I mean, why would voldemort want to kill two babies who have done nothing but eat, sleep, and shit. It is outrages.

Hagrid shows Harry and I where we will be staying for the night then goes off to his room. I get dressed while Harry is sitting on his side of the bed, probably still thinking about what Hagrid said earlier.

"Harry, dont think about it. You heard what Hagrid said. You-know-who, may or may not be out there and if he is, he is too weak to do anything. Now, we have to go to bed soon, we are going off the school tomorrow."

Harry nods and lays down, putting his glasses on the night table next to the bed. 

"Goodnight, Harry."

"Goodnight, (Y/n)."
