Prologue: Into The Night.

It was a slightly depressed, fourteen year old, Harry Potter that was found sitting on the curb in front of a park, a block from his "home". It was the second day of his summer holidays, it was a beautiful clear night, and he couldn't wish for anything more than to be back at school and away from the muggles who made up his poor excuse of a 'family'. He laid on his back and looked up at the sky, there were no stars but there was a beautiful full moon.
'Remus will be out tonight,' he though and smiled when he remembered that his godfather, Sirius Black, would be there with him tonight. He watched as the clouds drifted over the sky, momentarily blocking out the moon, enjoying the silence that came with the night. He moved his watch to his face and squinted to see the numbers, 11:30pm, it read. The Dursleys didn't care what time he came home, as long as he did his chores and stayed out of their way. They were perfectly happy with the arrangement and so was Harry, he had more time to do what he wanted to, though he would be the first to admit, it did get a little lonely sometimes. He had begun running for an hour every morning last summer, and still continued to do so, but he also added an hour at night as well. Because of this he was slowly filling out his tall, skinny form with muscles. He was happy just laying there, cooling off in the darkness, the moon creating an unearthly glow around him to any watching. He started when he heard a sound that was unmistakably the swish of a long coat or cloak and footsteps approaching him. He sat up quickly, one hand in his right pocket, wrapped around his wand, and stared at the figure that stood before him. The person, a male, was clad in loose black pants, leather boots, and a fitted, black t-shirt under a leather coat that reached the ground. That was all Harry could see besides the persons eyes, they were a dark, emerald green like Harry's but they were so deep they seemed to glow in the dark. Another thing was that the person had a bright smile on his face, it wasn't the evil, sinister smile of a Death Eater who had just found Harry Potter alone in the middle of the night, but a sincerely happy and kind smile. He slowly approached Harry, as if not wanting to make him uncomfortable, he stopped when he was two feet from Harry with Harry looking up at him, suspicion clearly showing in his eyes.
"Mr. Potter," said a clear tenor, "I am truly sorry if I have startled you, which I'm sure I have." Harry smiled slightly at this. He motioned beside Harry, Harry nodded and the person sat down on the curb gratefully and entirely relaxed.
"I have come because a special group of people wish to take you away from those sorry excuse of muggles that you currently live with." Harry looked a little wary at that and the other must have noticed because he said,
"We are not Death Eaters, we openly oppose the Dark Lord and his supporters and have worked hard for many years against them and other groups. We are a secluded group and only the most talented Witches or Wizards are approached with an invitation to join us. We wish to take you away from here, give you a new home where you will be safer and better cared for. We will also help train you in many different fields and will assist you in getting to your school, Hogwarts, when the summer is over." Harry nodded, this man was relaxed, he was being open and honest, and he was defiantly telling the truth, Harry could tell.
"I understand," said Harry and the figure nodded.
"If you do not wish to join us I promise we will not bother you again." Harry thought for a second.
"My owl and my belongings will be brought with me if I agree, am I right?" he asked. The man nodded.
"Of course." Harry looked up at the moon, and then back to the man, he felt totally relaxed around him even though they had not known each other for long. Harry grinned and said,
"Well, what are we waiting for?" He laughed as the other mans smile widened.
"Let's go then," said the man standing and extending an arm to help Harry up, which he accepted easily. The two started walking down the street, a cloud suddenly blocked out the moon,plunging everything into darkness, and when the moon was revealed Harry and the other had disappeared into the night.
