Prologue: Privet Drive

Privet Drive was a 'normal' neighbourhood and the residents liked it that way than you very much, it was on this very normal street that something very un-normal was happening in fact it was in number four Privet Drive where the Dursley family lived.

You see the Dursley family had a secret, a very secret 'secret' which they hid from the rest of the world, what is this secret? Well let me tell you, it is a young boy who goes by the name of Harry Potter; Harry was different from everyone else on Privet Drive, in fact Harry was different than anyone else in the world… but nobody knows that yet…

Harry's life so far had not been an easy one, you see in the four years he had been alive he had lost his whole family three months after his first birthday and was placed with his aunt on his mother's side of the family. Things went downhill from there as it turned out his mother and aunt were not on the best of terms with each other, in fact his aunt was jealous of her sister…

When Harry's mother Lily was younger she was close to her older sister Petunia but then one Severus Snape who lived near them at Spinner End informed Lily that she was a witch, no not the green skinned type, who had the ability to use magic. At first this wasn't too bad as Lily had only done accidental magic a few times but when she turned eleven the family received an unexpected visitor.

This visitor invited Lily to an exclusive boarding school in Scotland which catered to those of the magical persuasion. It was here that Lily and her sister Petunia started to drift apart, Lily and Petunia's parents were reluctant to send their youngest daughter away for most of the next seven years. In the end they did let her go which is why every time she came home for holidays they gave her most of their attention.

Petunia only saw this as favouritism on her sister's behalf, she was jealous that she couldn't go and learn magic and that her parents almost ignored her when Lily was around, this jealousy over time turned into anger then it turned into hatred, hatred of Lily and hatred of magic.

Unfortunately for Harry this hatred didn't disappear as they grew into adults and started their own families, Lily who still loved her sister never got the chance to try and make up with Petunia and Petunia was not strong enough to let go of her hatred.

Petunia ended up marrying one Vernon Dursley who had had previous bad experience with magic, though at the time he didn't know it was magic until Petunia told him…

It was when Vernon was going to an interview for a university placement; he stopped by in the toilets on his way there only for the toilet to throw up the contents of the last several dozen people who had paid it a visit, then a couple of people in robes showed up carrying wooden sticks. One of the strange people, a young blond who the others called Gildory, pointed his stick at Vernon and said a nonsense word followed by a story almost expecting Vernon to nod and go along with it, let's just say he wasn't amused.

So as it turned Harry had been left with two relatives who to put it lightly didn't like magic and to make it worse the Dursley's had a child of their own less than a month older than Harry himself. Dudley, Harry's cousin quickly learned that if he did anything wrong it would be Harry that was blamed and punished, not only this but he was also praised for being cruel to his cousin.

At first when Harry had been dropped off with his relatives it wasn't so bad as not even Vernon and Petunia expected a one year old to do much but he was always given Dudley's hand me downs and less food than his cousin, he was also put in the smallest bedroom in the house… well it became a bedroom because that's where he slept in 'Harry's' room under the stairs.

As time went by and Harry grew he was given chores to do around the house, nothing impossible; at first it was just cleaning the floors then when he was four they let him tend to the garden (the back garden so nobody could see him).

Harry had been having a bad day, compared to his normal bad days, it was his cousins fifth birthday and he had to get up earlier than normal to make his cousin breakfast (cereal and toast as he wasn't trusted with the stove yet). He hadn't be allowed to eat more than one slice of bread whilst his cousin who already weighed more than his aunt ate his way through two bowls of cereal and four slices of toast WITH jam on top.

Then Dudley had moved onto opening his presents whilst Harry had to clean up the mess left behind from breakfast, then even worse he was dropped off at Mrs Figg's the crazy cat lady whilst Dudley and his young friends went to the local indoor jungle gym, Harry really didn't care what Nibbles did for the third time.

When his Aunt reluctantly came to pick him up after they got back he was then made to clean up the whole house where the party had returned too and then Harry made a mistake and accidently stood on one of the toys Dudley didn't like which was a present from his aunt Marge, of instead of checking on Harry who was hopping on one foot from the plastic which shattered under his slight weight and scratched him he was punished severely.

There was no extreme physical abuse in Harry's punishments, he was given a few smacks on his bottom and sent to bed without anything to eat (and his foot still hurt).

So here he was lying in his 'room' the only sanctuary that he had when something happened that had never happened before, the light above his bed started to flicker on and off. This was the only thing that the Dursley's never took from Harry, the light in his room, he was allowed to turn it on and off as much as he liked (mostly because they didn't know).

Harry often used this to read ahead on his studies, after all when you have no friends, your guardians make you do chores whenever they see you and you don't have any toys there's not much else for a four year old to do than study which is why this light had become so important to him.

Not knowing that light bulbs only had a limited lifespan or knowing how to change it (if he could get a replacement) he watched with gloomy emerald eyes as the light flickered on and off in its final moments of 'life'. There was a lump in his throat and it almost felt the same as when his aunt cleaned out the spiders from his cupboard, they were the closest thing to friends he had.

He moved his hand almost as if he was going to cradle the light in his hand, only the heat stopped him from touching it; then there was sudden banging on his ceiling as Dudley decided to torment his cousin a bit more. Harry jumped at the sudden noise whilst the bulb swung due to the movement on the stairs.

*Smash* the bulb broke over his hand and there was one last flash, whilst it seemed like the world froze for a minute, then a surge of electricity entered the young boy whose short life had not been desirable.

Now this is where Harry differs from everyone else in the world you see just before Harry came to live with the Dursley's his parents were killed by a wizard called Voldemort on all hallows eve who was so terrifying that other magical people didn't dare to say his name, this evil wizard after he had killed Lily and James (Harry's father) brought his wand upon the one year old boy.

The evil wizard cast a curse that kills anyone it touches at Harry but he didn't take into account several unforeseen circumstances; he had just killed the boy's mother after asking her to move a side he gave her the option of living but she chose death to save her son and there is powerful magic in intent, the boy's father had also given his life in defence of his family, it was all hallows eve the night of the dead where death has the most power and finally Lily's pleading had upset young Harry which caused him to use accidental magic which slightly altered the spell heading towards him.

The curse struck Harry on his forehead but at first it seemed to not affect him until there was a flash of pure light radiating from the messy haired baby which destroyed everything except the black soul of the evil wizard which was absorbed by Harry, the body of his mother and the evil wizard had both disintegrated whilst he fell into unconsciousness. This caused an effect which was not visible to the naked eye; his magical core had almost been breached by the soul of the evil wizard but his core had managed to fight it off unfortunately this left his core unstable.

So as the electricity from that was going through the bulb was diverted and started to go through Harry his magic reacted and changed altering his body in the process. Harry's magic reached out into the source of the foreign power that was coursing through its vessel and started to feed on it, it bridged the gap between the circuit breakers to keep on feeding expanding past the house causing a blackout across Surrey.

The magic reached as far as the source of electricity which was Surrey Power Station which was is dual nuclear reactor producing one thousand six hundred and seventy eight megawatts of energy all of which was being drained by the young Potter's magic, the drain lasted a minute until automated emergency procedures disconnected the reactor from outside sources before it could cause a meltdown.

This unbelievable energy was used to complete the transformation of Harry's magical core from an unstable into a stable core. The remainder of the dark lord Voldemort's soul was expelled from the young boy's body dissipating into the air with an unearthly scream.

There was silence in the Dursley household for a couple of seconds before "what the bloody hell was that" came from the mammoth of a man Vernon Dursley as he got up from his armchair and headed towards the cupboard under the stairs bumping into unseen objects due to the darkness.

Not bothering to knock Vernon opened the cupboard door; inside was his brat of a nephew breathing heavily and coated in sweat. Vernon reached out to grab him with his flabby hands…as soon as his hand made contact with the boy he was thrown back by into the hall wall by a blast of electricity originating from Harry.

After Vernon had been blown back by the electricity more bolts started emerging from within Harry randomly scaring the walls around where he lay, Harry let out a scream of pain as his body slowly started to change.

At first his arms and legs shrank towards his torso his arms completely disappearing then as his torso and head started to change shape his body becoming more avian shaped. Wings started to grow out of his shoulder blades as his body changed shape blue feathers tinted with silver and white sprouting all over his body except for his legs which remained bare. There were two feathers creating a plume on top of his head and a spread of long tail feathers came out of his tail bone similar to an eagles.

Harry inspected himself after the pain had passed and cried out in surprise; his cry came out high pitched and was followed by a low rumbling. Harry spread his wings experimentally electricity sparking along his body and as he flapped his wings the electricity left his body to again strike the walls.

There were several popping noises from outside number four privet drive followed by several voices talking back and forth approaching the door. There was a couple of seconds silence before the door opened by itself…

Surrey Power Plant is real and was built in 1972 for commercial use and the figures are taken direct from their website, it produces enough electricity for 400K homes
