Chapter One
Normal POV
It was a hot summers day, too hot in my opinion. This week Britain was experiencing a heat wave. The Dursley have all gone to a water park today, while I have to finish my chores, it's not fair! Not to mention the list is impossible to finish by the time they get back. I think I'll do the garden first because it takes the longest it's best to get it out of the way. After three hours, I've managed to repaint the fence, now the grass, rend to the flowers and just as I was trimming the bushes I saw the Dursley's car pull up. Oh no! I saw a small space between the shed and the fence. I quickly hid in the gap. I knew I was only making it worse for myself, but I don't want them to find me...
"Boy! Where are you ungrateful little freak!" Shouted Uncle Vernon. I know I need to come out but I'm scared. Just then something caught my eye it was a golden necklace, I reached to grab it but as soon as my I touched it, I was surrounded by a white light.
When the light went away, I opened my eyes. Where am I? More importantly, who am I? While all these thoughts were swirling around my head, someone suddenly grabbed my arm. "What are you doing here boy?" said a strange man. "I-I-I d-don't know!" I stammered. He didn't look impressed. "What do you mean, you don't know!?" at the point I was trembling.
Charlus Potter POV
"Alastor! What do in Merlin's name do you think you're doing? You never treat a child like that!" I yelled at the fool. I looked at the small lad, he looked strangly like a smaller version my son James, although there were a few differences such as; the boy had longer and a lighter brown hair colouring than James. He also had a more effeminate appearance and boy skin didn't have a freckle or any blemishes on his face in sight. what was most curious, was his eyes, they are a odd colour green almost like a sparkling emerald. Alastor voice quickly snapped me out of my thoughts. "Can it Potter! For all we know he might be working for You-Know-Who!" I glared at the man. "We are going to take him to the ministry and find out where he came from! Not scare him to death!" he pulled put my wand and apparated from the scene.
Normal POV
The Potter man pulled out a stick and I suddenly felt a choking sensation, but it quickly left although I feel a bit sick still. "Sorry son. You not used to apparating?" I guessed the thing he just done was apparating, I shook my head, he Chuckled. I looked around and we were in a completely different place. "Welcome to the Ministry of Magic lad." Said Potter.
We walked towards a large desk. "Gabrielle, could you find out where this lads from?" She smiled. "Yes, of course Charlus. What's your name sweety?" What was my name? I should remember something as important as my name right? I drew a blank though. "I don't know." I cried. both adults looked alarmed now. "Think he should go to a healer." said Gabrielle in a panicked voice. Mr Potter quickly nodded and did the apparating thing again. He quickly carried me to another front desk. "I need to see a healer immediately." panted Mr Potter. The lady looked alarmed and nodded her head. and she spoke in to the microphone looking thing. "Healer Brown! Please report to the front desk urgently. I repeat, Healer Brown! Please report to the front desk urgently." Not long after a man came rushing down the corridor. "What's the problem Veronica?" the Veronica lady gestured towards Mr Potter and me. "I found the lad alone on a forest and he may have amnesia." Said Mr Potter in an urgent and worried tone. "Alright, please follow me." he led us in to a room, it was very white and bare. It only had a bed, a cabinet beside it and one chair in it.
Mr Potter placed me on the bed. "Alright lad, I'm going to ask you a few questions, okay?" I nodded. "What's your name?" I shrugged. "How old are you?' I shrugged. both men looked worried. "Okay lad, I'm going to do a diagnosis spell on you to make sure your okay. Don't worry you won't feel a thing." he pulled out a stick like Mr Potter had done, but his stick just glowed blue on the end as he gently raised and lowered it. Healer Brown's eyes went wide and he gasped. "Dear Merlin!" Both Mr potter and I looked alarmed. "What!? What's wrong with the lad!?" Mr Potter demanded. What was wrong with me. "Mr Potter, I would like to speak to you outside." both men left the room while I stayed still trying to understand what was happening.
(outside the room)
What's wrong with the lad?" Mr Potter demanded. Healer brown sighed "He's been severely abused. the scan not only shows current injuries and illness but past ones as well. The lad has been starved, beaten and neglected. The scan shows if it wasn't for his magic he would be dead." Mr potter saw red. He couldn't imaging what kind of monster would do this to a child. "I have a theory that this abuse is the cause the loss of his memory." Mr Potter nodded, it made sense. "What's going to happen to the lad now, healer Brown?" asked Mr potter. "Well we are going to take a blood sample. With that we are able to track down his closest living relative." That sounded good, unless his closest living relative did this to him. Both men mad their way back in to the room. Healer Brown explained to the boy that he was going to take some blood so that he could find his family. The boy didn't even flinch when he insisted the needle. with the sample the healer injected the blood in to a crystal ball. "Okay lad in a minute or two, a surname will appear in the crystal ball. Then we will know who your relatives are."
...
...
Everyone in the room was waiting anxiously. Once the name began to appear on the crystal ball everyone stared at it intensely and to the adults surprise it said Potter!
