Hello Readers and welcome to my first ever harry potter fanfic this story is about what changes would occur if harry was brought up by his muggle grandparents. Would he befriend the Weasleys? What about
Hermione? So many questions. Read to find out.


PROLOGUE

It was Halloween night. The night was dark and chilly in Godric's hollow, perfect for Halloween and no one was wasting it. So no one looked twice when a hooded figure walked by draped in black and so they did not notice him when he seemed to vanish between two houses. But anyone would notice if a house on fire suddenly appeared in between two others. Lord Voldemort, the most notorious dark lord in wizarding history, the one who had earned himself the moniker "He who must not be named", was vanquished by a child. People meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter - the boy who lived!"

The boy in question was currently napping unaware in a flying motorcycle on his way to his new home.

"So who's bringing him here?' questioned Mcgonagall when she saw Dumbledore looking at his pocket watch. The 'here' in question was an old house at the end of Spinners end, Cokeworth where Harry's maternal grandparents lived.

"Hagrid, he should be here anytime now." said Dumbledore, the twinkling in his eyes noticeably absent. He was here to tell Mr and Mrs Evans about their daughter's death and explain the circumstances of harry's survival and subsequent living condition. It was not pleasant to be the bearer of bad news but only he could explain things and place the required protection around the house.

For you see, it was not exceptional magic from harry's part that saved him but his mother's sacrifice and love. Harry would be protected as long as he lived with his mother's blood relatives. There were two choices: his grandparents or his aunt. Dumbledore wanted to leave harry with his aunt as she would be more capable of handling a child. But Mcgonagall who knew of lily's mutual dislike to her sister and petunia's opinion on magic was adamantly against that. So they were now standing in front of their house awaiting the arrival of harry.

A tremendous roar broke them from their thoughts as a large motorcycle thundered down from the sky and an even larger man got down from it.

"Hagrid," said Dumbledore, sounding relieved. "At last. And where did you get that motorcycle?"

"Borrowed it, Professor Dumbledore, sir," said the giant, climbing carefully off the motorcycle as he spoke. "Young Sirius Black lent it to me. I've got him, sir."

"No problems, were there?"

"No, sir - house was almost destroyed, but I got him out all right

before the Muggles started swarmin' around. He fell asleep as we was flyin' over Bristol."

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of blankets. Inside, just visible, was a baby boy, fast asleep. Under a tuft of jet-black hair over his forehead they could see a curiously shaped cut, like a bolt of lightning.

"Is that where -?" whispered Professor McGonagall.

"Yes," said Dumbledore. "He'll have that scar forever."

"Couldn't you do something about it, Dumbledore?"

"Even if I could, I wouldn't. Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground. Well - give him here, Hagrid - we'd better get this over with."

William and Hestia Evans were private lawyers who had started their own firm in their twenties. Now 30 years later, they were very well off despite paying for the education of their two girls, one of whom was magical. Oh what a surprise that had been, to know that a whole world had been hidden under their nose the whole time. Though Lily had kept the fact that she was in danger from them, James had always confided in them. He had told them that they were going into hiding for their child's safety. So it came as a nasty surprise to them when Dumbledore told them about James' and Lily's death.

"What about Harry? What happened to him? Don't tell me he is dead too?" asked Hestia.

"No, harry is not dead, Voldemort tried to kill him but the curse backfired and now Voldemort is defeated. Harry was saved due to Lily's protection, So he needs to stay with lily's blood relations for the protection to be more lasting. There may be other wizards who served Voldemort that may want to harm harry. After today there won't be a single wizard in the country who doesn't know young Harry's name. I wouldn't be surprised if today was known as "Harry Potter's Day" in the future. So it would be better for him to stay away from all that until he is older."

"Yes, of course harry will stay with us, we have legal guardianship of him after all" William replied.

"Good, I will add the extra wards around the place so that you don't get any unwanted visitors. Have a good day Mr and Mrs Evans" Dumbledore replied, the twinkle coming back to his eyes happy that harry would not be mistreated.

"Take good care of Harry. If he is anything like his father then you will have your hands full in no time" Mcgonagall said wiping away tears.

"G'bye 'arry " Hagrid sniffled.

The three of them disappeared into the night leaving harry potter with his grandparents for 10 peaceful years.


So that's the Prologue ,yeah it's not much but this is my first hp fic, so don't be too hard.

Also about Dumbledore not leaving a letter and actually explaining, well it is because he knows that unlike petunia they won't mistreat him and also that Minerva threatened him.

I don't know when i will update next but most probably within the month.

So thanks for reading and please review.
