Chapter 1
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY!" people shouted happily as they jumped out from all corners of the little apartment. It was Henry's 11th birthday. Everyone in Storybrooke had decided to throw a surprise party for the little hero. July 31st, 11 years ago Henry had been born in a jail cell. Henry was to one - get his birth mother to believe in the curse and two - to eventually break it which she had with his help. He was as much the savior as she was.
The curse had been created by Rumpelstiltskin to find his son Baelfire. He gave the curse to the evil Queen. The curse prevented everyone from having their happy endings that they were supposed to have. The curse erased the people's memories of the fairy tale land and it had made the town be stuck in time for 28 years.
Henry had received a book of fairy tales from his teacher Mary Margaret Blanchard, who happened to be his grandmother, Snow White. She gave Henry the book to give him hope.
Henry knew this town was different because he remembered when he was six and he had a crush on Paige Hatton. She was 10 and way out of his league. He also remembered that when he was eight she was still 10 years old. Now Henry is 10 and Paige is still 10. The fairy tale book got Henry thinking about the town he grew up in that never seemed to age.
Henry read through the whole book in a matter of days. He learned the shocking truth about everyone in Storybrooke. They were all fairy tale characters! His adopted mother, the evil Queen Regina, was responsible for sending them all here.
He learned of his birth mother, Emma Swan and that she was to save them all on her 28th birthday. Henry went to Boston, after stealing his teacher's credit card, to find Emma. He realized that she was the only one who could break the curse. He didn't want Paige to be stuck being 10 years old forever. Henry convinced Emma to come back to Storybrooke with him. Emma had given Henry up for adoption at birth because she wanted him to have a better life. Once she saw that he was not better off, she decided to stay for a while.
After months of hearing from Henry that everything in his story book was true, Emma finally believed him when he was poisoned and there was no other explanation other than magic. She finally believed, but it was almost too late.
Emma broke the curse when she kissed Henry's head, after he died. The kiss of true love broke the curse, and made Henry come back to life. True love's kiss restored the memories of all the people in the town.
During the crowded party, nobody noticed the huge stranger creep through the back door. He was very tall and had a very big beard. Next to him was a huge pink umbrella. He was waiting for everyone to leave so that he could give Henry the best birthday surprise ever. He was going to give him a letter.
"Get the mail, Dudley," Uncle Vernon said from behind the paper.
"Make Harry get it!"
"Get the mail, Harry," Uncle Vernon said. Today was July 31st¸ Harry's birthday. Every year they seemed to "forget" that today was Harry's birthday.
Harry sighed and went to do what he was told. He picked up the mail and noticed a really heavy, thick envelope made of parchment, near the back of the pile. He turned it over to find that the emerald green ink was addressed to:
Mr. H. Potter
The Cupboard Under the Stairs
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey
"Hurry up, boy!" Uncle Vernon shouted from the dining room. "What are you doing? Checking for letter bombs?"
Walking back to the dining room quickly, Harry started to open the letter addressed to him. He never got mail! Who could this be from? How did they know that he lived under the stairs of his aunt and uncle's house?
"HARRY GOT A LETTER!" Dudley shouted suddenly, when he caught sight of Harry with the half opened envelope. Dudley grabbed it and started to open it.
"That's mine," Harry exclaimed trying to snatch it back.
"Who would want to write to you?" Uncle Vernon said as he grabbed the letter out of Dudley's hand. His face paled when he saw who the letter was from.
"GIVE IT BACK! IT'S MY LETTER!" Harry shouted as he tried to snatch the letter back again. Uncle Vernon suddenly pushed both boys out of the room and locked the door behind them, but not before Harry saw the look of pure terror across his uncle's face, as he threw the letter into the fireplace.
"I will NOT be having one of them in my house! When we took him in, we swore we would stamp out that dangerous nonsense," he told Aunt Petunia as she walked in after hearing the shouting.
A/N: This is my first fanfiction crossover so forgive me if it is not very good at first. This story will be following the storyline of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Last thing, thank you to my beta, MrsBates93
