Pain mingles with Voldemort's memories of a fateful night sixteen years before: Hallowe'en costumes, a father's smile, a toddler playing on the floor inside a cozy house. Outside, a gate creaks open as a dark figure strides through. A man yells, "Lily, take Harry and go! It's him. Go! Run! I'll hold him off!" More screams, then green flashes, and a woman's crumpled body lies upon the nursery floor. One final flash, and pain-shot darkness. <!--Been meaning to mention this for a long time, but previous sentence with "pain-shot darkness" is excellent prose!--> Then, through Voldemort's eyes, Harry sees Bathilda's bedroom again as Voldemort picks up the dropped picture frame containing the thief's photo. Hermione's voice pierces the void, pleading for him to awake. Opening his eyes, Harry sees he is inside the tent. Hermione says they escaped, but it is hours later and he has been sick; she used the Hover charm to get him into his bunk and a Severing charm to pry the stuck Locket off his chest. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dittany|Dittany]] healed Nagini's bite wounds. While Harry relived Voldemort's memories, he was delirious, moaning and screaming. Harry relates what happened upstairs and that Nagini was hidden inside Bathilda's corpse, though he withholds the most gruesome details. Nagini only spoke when she and Harry were alone because it was in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Parseltongue|Parseltongue]]. Nagini immediately summoned Voldemort when Harry identified himself. Harry asks for his wand, but Hermione tearfully confesses that it is broken, probably by her ricocheting spell. Stunned, Harry wants her to try and repair it with her wand, but she hesitantly reminds him that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]]'s [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 5|broken wand]] never worked the same. He pleads with her to try anyway, but, too badly damaged, it snaps in half again when he tries it. With [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ollivander|Ollivander]] held captive by Voldemort, Harry is unsure how he will obtain another wand. Though clearly upset, Harry tells Hermione she is not to blame, then borrows her wand to take the watch, wanting to be away from her. Hermione sits by the bunk quietly sobbing.

Harry confronts death in Godric's Hollow, but unlikerather than witnessing it hot and fresh as when Dumbledore, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cedric Diggory|Cedric Diggory]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]] were killed, he now sees only its cold, decayed aftermath, dimming his hope to ever be reunited with his mother and father. Harry's own recollections aboutof that tragic night are faint, rememberinglimited onlyto a green flash and his mother's screams. While inside Voldemort's memories, he was able to see the entire horrendous event as it unfolded through Voldemort's eyes. Not only does this reopen old wounds, it creates new ones that only intensify his grief and despair. But as painful as those memories are, they also provide him a clearer picture regarding what actually happened, tying him closer to his parents and clarifying his role in vanquishing the Dark Lord.

Visiting his parents' graves, and the destroyed cottage in which he once lived in, is deeply disturbing to Harry, driving home the reality that the tragic events sixteen years before actually occurred. Until now, these were merely sad stories told to Harry, but seeing the graves and the house in person is emotionally wrenching, and it serves to fully integrate him into past events. And while Harry has always harbored a slim hope that magic would somehow reunite him with his long-dead parents, seeing their forlorn, final resting place forces him to confront death's finality and accept that the dead can only live on in this world through others' memories. Harry is comforted and uplifted, however, by the kind messages visitors have left at the Potter's residence over the years.

Harry's difficult childhood has resulted in him never fully trusting or relying on others, and he usually prefers to confront most situations alone. He has made great strides in overcoming this trait, however, learning to accept friends' and mentors' support and guidance, though some, like Ron and Dumbledore, have also failed him. He takes a great leap of faith here when he willingly follows the mysterious elderly woman, believing she is Bathilda Bagshot and trusting that she can help. This time Harry's reasoning proves faulty. Even the decision to go to Godric's Hollow was driven more by a desire to see his birthplace, visit James and Lily's graves, and resolve his conflicted feelings about Dumbledore, rather than to uncover clues relating to their mission; the error nearly costs Harry and Hermione their lives. It is also a little surprising that Hermione, who is usually far more cautious and suspicious than either Ron or Harry, not only suggested going to Godric's Hollow, but so willingly followed the old woman, despite her odd behavior. It is uncertain if Harry can ever show that much faith in the unknown again.

Although Harry assures Hermione she is blameless for breaking his wand, he is clearly upset and angry with her, leaving Hermione in tears and driving an invisible wedge between them. LikeAs with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Remus Lupin|Lupin]], Harry's immediate reaction is undeservedly harsh, especially considering Hermione risked own her life to save his. However, Harry is devastated by his wand's loss, and his logical thinking (and gratitude) has been temporarily overruled by displaced anger and grief, though he quickly realizes Hermione was not at fault.

It should also be mentioned that when Harry hears or speaks [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Parseltongue|Parseltongue]], he is unable to distinguish it from English – we first saw this when the boa constrictor at the zoo spoke to him in Book[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 2|''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's 1Stone'']], and as far back as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 16|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']], where Harry had to imagine he was seeing a living snake before the words he spoke to the Chamber's entrance would emerge in Parseltongue. This explains why Harry was unaware anything was amiss when Nagini, disguised as Bathilda, called from the other room, while Hermione was suddenly startled. Harry heard "Bathilda" saying, "Come", while all Hermione detected was a strange hissing noise.

In a later chapter, Dumbledore's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ghost#Shades|shade]] will explain that even though Harry's wand had grown very powerful because it imbibed additional power from Voldemort's yew wand (brother to Harry's wand), that power can only be directed against Voldemort, regardless of what wand the Dark Lord may be wielding at the time. Against other wizards, Harry's wand had no additionalgreater advantage than before. That is why Hermione was accidentally able to accidentally destroy Harry's wand with her own.
