What if?
The question that has plagued every child's lips. What if the sky fell? What if animals could talk? You could answer them all the same way; it can't; they can't. But these answers do not satisfy the question. And some of us – well, some of us never grow up. Some of us can't help but wonder what would happen if the sky were to fall. Sure, we might know that it won't happen, and that it's impossible for the sky to actually fall on us. But that doesn't stop the mind from wondering; what if. Curiosity. It killed the cat. But here it might have done more than that.
What if the famous Harry Potter didn't even get so much as a eulogy? What if he died before he could even take his first steps let alone journey on the path to save the world? What if while he was still in diapers he was murdered by none other than Lord Voldemort himself? What if he wasn't always there to save the day?
Well, that's the very question we want answered.
What if the killing curse fired from his wand succeeded in killing the infant? But let’s not stop in that. What if it ripped the caster from his body forcing him into hiding for nearly sixteen years? What if Bellatrix Lestrange stepped up holding the remainder of the Death Eaters together? What if they continued to hold raids against mudbloods? What if they were too weak to stage a war? What if Dumbledore never fell from that tower? What if Ron and Hermione never had Harry to introduce them? What if after years of hibernation Voldemort returned? What if he was ready to pick up exactly where he left off?
You have our question, but we need your help to find the answer.
What would happen if the boy-who-lived died?
Eulogy?
