PROLOGUE It was raining again, a dull and dreary summer day awash with the usual disgruntled and moody residents aggravated by the grey skies. However, this did not apply to one such resident of Surrey. A small boy with a mop of unruly black hair and worn clothing ten sizes too large, sat huddled on the front stoop just out of the storm. His knees were tucked under his chin to fit comfortably under the shelter of the gutters. Surprisingly enough, the seven year old child was locked outside and his stomach pained him, yet he seemed to be enjoying himself. The question is ‘is this boy sane?’ The answer to this troubling question is yes. Though cold and hungry by being outside this boy was avoiding worse treatment. For within this perfectly normal looking house lived the cruelest and biggest bigots you will ever lay eyes on. Their names are Vernon Dursley, Petunia Dursley and Dudley Dursley. Vernon Dursley is a grotesque fat man with very little neck, a rather large and lopsided mustache, and dark piggy eyes and perfectly groomed straight straw blond hair. He was an ill tempered man, whose favorite stress relief was physically and emotionally abusing his least favorite member of the household, his nephew, the child on the stoop. He saw the dark haired boy as a burden, an unwanted thing and nobody. He did not see the boy as another living breathing human, no the boy was an ‘it’. Then there was Petunia Dursley, a woman who closely resembled a horse with a far too thin frame, two times the normal length of neck and hose-like teeth. She was a repulsive woman, upon seeing her appearance you would feel disgusted, her personality did little to rectify this notion. She was always complaining, screeching and ordering her nephew around. If he did not comply with her wishes perfectly, she would slap or starve the malnourished seven-year-old. She was nosey, self-centered and greedy. Her greatest joy in life was gossiping and spreading disgusting rumors. Finally there was Dudley Dursley, a smaller in height, greater in girth young clone of his father. He had quite the temper and always took pleasure in bullying the neighborhood kids, but his greatest joy was terrorizing and hurting his cousin, the boy on the stoop. The boy continued to watch the rain, his luminous big, innocent green eyes shone sadness and pain. Suddenly, the door swung open behind him. The sharp metal of door slammed into him sending him sprawling in the middle of the street right in the path of an oncoming car. The driver’s eyes widened as in slow motion the car hit the child. A loose bumper broke free and plunged into the little scrawny boy’s chest piercing his heart and thrust through his back. The boy spasm for a moment before going deathly still. Blood flowed from his punctured body. That was the death of Harry James Potter. Vernon saw his nephew’s death and chuckled before turning into the house once more and shutting the door. The frantic driver called the police. The police arrived and took pictures and evidence at the crime scene. When they went in to question the boy’s family, the inadvertently discovered the abuse and neglect the boy had suffered. Petunia Dursley was imprisoned for child abuse with fifteen year stay, Vernon Dursley was charged with murder, child endangerment and child abuse, sentenced for life. Dudley Dursley was sent to a metal hospital for a ‘reprogramming’. The children and parents of the neighborhood gave evidence of his cruel nature. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves now. Meanwhile, as this one taking place, Dumbledore watched with confusion as Fawkes, his Phoenix hopped agitatedly from foot to foot. Suddenly loosing an uncharacteristically ugly sound, the bird grasped Albus’s shoulder and teleported them to Pivet Drive. What Dumbledore saw there made him gasp in pain. Pain from his heart. Just about to be zipped into a body bag was the young Mr. Potter, who Dumbledore sworn to protect with his life. Sobs ripped from his chest as he heaved and cried. Grabbing his hair he yanked brutally on it tearing bunches from it. Abruptly Fawkes bit his fingers. When Dumbledore looked at the bird, he was surprised to see the bird crying blood. Before he knew what had happened, Fawkes took flight and then dove. He dove straight into the corpse of Harry Potter and both were engulfed in flames. The muggles jumped clear startled. They immediately tried to put out the fire, but could not accomplish it. Scurrying over to the fated Phoenix and boy, Dumbledore watched with startled eyes as the boy and bird merged. The boy’s wounds healed, scarlet, gold, orange and purple tattoos appeared all over his body, his open sightless green eyes turned a beautiful violet and his hair lengthened to his shoulders. His skin turned a slight golden-brown. Brown freckles spread over his nose and while he was still very small he was now slender instead of emaciated. His scar disappeared altogether. Reaching into the flames, Dumbledore withdrew the still boy. The boy took a gasping breath. His eyes took in everything, before he fainted. After obliverating the muggles, Dumbledore apparated away.
