Summary: Harry was far from ordinary, much to his Aunt and Uncle's displeasure. This just means that they would do anything to rid themselves of this unwanted presence. This also means that they will unknowingly disrupt plans of a certain meddling, fool of a Headmaster. Dumping their nephew at an orphanage may just become both the best thing (from Harry's POV) and worst thing (from the British Wizarding World's POV) to happen! Watch out Hogwarts! A different Harry Potter is ready to stir up trouble!

UPDATE 28/01 - Adding in dates and/or time of year. As the category suggests, this is a crossover between Avengers and Harry Potter, so I've shifted Harry's date of birth to coincide with technological advances in the 'Muggle' World. All will be explained further in the story.

Prologue: When the Freak Appeared.

November 2nd 1996

Finding a baby on your doorstep,in the middle of winter is not anyone's cup of tea. Finding your baby nephew on your doorstep in the middle of winter was DEFINITELY not how Petunia Dursley wanted to greet the new day. What takes the cake is the fact that said nephew was not normal. In any sense of the word.

You see, Petunia has a sister named Lily. The apple of her parents eyes. A witch. A freak. So of course, if Lily were to procreate with THAT boy...John, Jerry...Jeffery, whatever his name is, then it stands to reason that any spawn they manage to pop out will be just like them; strange...abnormal. Wizard.

Looking down at the tightly wrapped bundle, Petunia notices an envelope addressed to herself and her husband which was written with awfully familiar handwriting.

Mr and Mrs V. Dursley,

4 Privet Drive

Little Whinging,

Surrey.

Ignoring the quietly slumbering child and bending down to pick up the letter, it was with shaking hands that Petunia Dursley read;

To Mr Vernon and Mrs Petunia Dursley;

It is with great regret that I must inform you of the passing of both James and Lily Potter at the hands of the Dark Lord Voldemort on the 31st October. Thankfully they are survived by their son, Harry James Potter. Please look after your nephew as he will become an integral player in the future of the wizarding world when he is older and it will be up to you to raise him until he is ready for Hogwarts. With him comes great protection for both Harry and yourselves, you just need to give him a home.

Regards

Albus Percival Wulfuric Brian Dumbledore

"Well, I suppose we should bring you inside; I'd hate to think what that man would do to us if you we let you die now" Sneering down at the now squirming child, Petunia bends over to scoop the child up in her arms, being careful not to touch too much of the boy.

As if she would be infected by his freakish-ness simply by her touch.

This was definitely not what she was expecting while going out to collect the milk bottles. Come to think of it; she forgot all about that milk...
