A/N: Thanks for reading and giving this a try. I know this has been done before but many really good ones that I have read never get updated. So I decided to write my own.

Disclaimer for whole story: I don't own Harry Potter and I don't wish I did because I don't think I could do better than J.K Rowling.

Ignored

It was strangely cold seeing as it was only September. Harry Potter, a five year old quite small for his age thought so too. He was wandering aimlessly through the forest. He had his fair share of being ignored and cast aside. It had started one night three years ago.

Harry was walking through his house when he heard his parents and an old man talking in the study.

"My little Daniel will be the one to defeat the dark lord! Are you sure Albus?"

"The prophecy says it, Lily! We will finally be free of his reign! I suggest you devote most of your time caring for him though."

"Of course Albus" James said.

It was that day that had started it. They didn't neglect Harry, but they didn't acknowledge him either. No, they took Dumbledore's advice and devoted all their attention to Daniel.

But Harry didn't just up and leave. Today he had just snapped though. It wasn't even a holiday but they had bought Daniel a new toy broom. They claimed it was just a late birthday present. They had gotten him boatloads of presents on their real birthday. Many people had come and dropped of presents too. Poor little Harry sat in the corner while Daniel opened his presents. Harry hadn't done anything because he had no presents to open. Now he was leaving. He had thrown all his clothes and all his favorite books in a bag and set off into the night while his parents and twin brother slept. He now wished to be back there sleeping in his warm bed. He was exhausted and not to mention cold. He was walking through the forest still, though he had been walking for at least an hour. He kept going until finally he just collapsed on the forest floor and began to cry him self to sleep think about how much they would care that he was gone.

Voldemort and his familiar, Nagini, were walking through the forest. They were on a mission to recruit some dark creatures to the cause. They came across a clearing and so small they almost didn't notice the small boy lying on the ground. If it had been any other boy the dark lord would have kept on walking, letting the kid just freeze to death or something. But this boy had an aura of such power around him. The amount of power he had could make him a great ally with a little training. Nagini seemed to have also sensed the power just radiating out of him as he slept on the cold hard ground. She slithered closer and closer to boy when he almost seemed to sense her presence and began to wake. When his eyes focused on Nagini, he backed away a stared wide-eyed at her as if she was going to eat him.

"Fear not child, I wont hurt you." She said.

"You can talk!?" he said.

"A speaker? Master! It is another speaker!" She said.

"Another speaker?" Voldemort said as he studied the small boy's shaking form.

He conjured up a blanket that he gave to the kid.

"Come on kid before you freeze to death."

He hesitated before wrapping the blanket around himself and following the strange man out of the woods and to the largest house he had ever seen

A/N: Well there's chappie 1. More like preface but nevermind that. Well I want at least 5 reviews for an update. Please don't count on me to update like all the time though because I have a very busy life as it is. If you're wondering, yes Harry can read. Daniel can't. James and Lily spent all their time playing with him and always doing things with him that Harry had more time to learn. Harry is a whole lot smarter and better than Daniel.

Sincerely
