Prologue -

July 30th was a cool summer night. Most people were safe at home with their families tucking into a late supper or putting their kids to bed. But in the outskirts of London things were very different for one young man. You see this young man, Harry Potter, had been abandoned by those he calls family.

The day had started out as normal as ever, Harry working his way through the long list of jobs left by his uncle, his Aunt spying on the neighbours, his cousin watching more TV then what could be healthy for a human being and his Uncle at work at the drilling company. By the end of the day, things were shaping up for disaster. As it turned out his uncle had been fired at lunch and on his way home had stopped at the local pub for a few too many drinks.

Harry's Uncle had pulled into the drive after getting pulled over for speeding and drink driving and was in a rage. He had thrown the front door open and had called for his wife and son to meet him in the backyard. Vernon Dursley then stomped his was over to the cupboard under the stairs and opened the six locks he had put on it two years ago. He then started pulling out all the things inside it. The trunk was first, then the freak broom and the metal box he had stored his nephew's magic stick in. Once the cupboard was empty he dragged everything out onto the back lawn only stopping for some matches in the kitchen. By now Harry had noticed something going on downstairs. He slowly made his was down the stairs and when he saw the cupboard open he raced outside to where the rest of his family was.

Harry froze up just outside the door at the sight that was in front of him. His uncle, aunt and cousin were standing to one side of the yard by a smoking pile. Vernon looked up when he noticed Harry standing in the doorway and started grinning like he had just won a million dollars. Harry then realised what exactly what the smoking pile was, it was almost everything his owned. Harry was going into shock his uncle was burning all the things that were important to him. His photo album of his parents, his broom, his school things and all the trinkets he had collect from friends over the last six years. The worst of it was the box that had held his wand was now a smoking twisted pile of ash and metal. The fire kept getting bigger and bigger as more items caught fire. Harry was relieved that his Invisibility wasn't in the fire he had taken to having it with him at all times, just in case. Harry was now very happy that he had given Hedwig to Ron to look after for the holidays, he didn't even want to think about what his uncle would do to her if she was here now with him.

Once the fire died Vernon had stomped up to Harry and grabbed his arm forcing him to follow. Harry was forced into the back seat of the family car and then Vernon drove off leaving his wife and son to deal with any other things they found belonging to Harry. Despite Harry's protests his uncle kept driving until they were in the slums of London. Parking on a random street corner he threw his nephew out of the car and speed away again, hoping to never see the young man again.

Now Harry was starting feeling heartbroken so he didn't seem to care or notice that he was surrounded by old, abandoned factories. Since his wand was destroyed he had no way of contacting any of his friends or the Order. He had no way of protecting himself and no way of finding out where he was. Deciding that standing on this cold street corner wasn't going to help the situation and it was too dark to start walking hopefully into London, he started looking for some shelter for the night. Finding some in an old building that still had most of its roof still intact he settled in for the night, having no idea that tomorrow his life would change for one last time. Tomorrow he was going to meet the man that would change everything for him. Give him a home, a family, a future.
