Ok where to start, well hi, everyone, this is my first Harry Potter fanfic, so I though I would start of simple. But I didn't find it to simple because I somehow got writers block or whatever it's called.

Anyway I thought I would write my version of the letter Dumbledore wrote, to explain what happened. In other words the letter he wrote the night he left Harry on those horrible Dursleys doorstep.

Sorry if some of the facts are wrong

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Characters, sadly. The only thing I do own in this fanfic, is the letter, well the contents of the letter.

Here its goes……

The Letter

Dear Mr & Mrs Dursley & your son Dudley

Firstly I would like to send my condolences to Petunia, on the loss of your sister Lilly; she was a great witch and an extremely nice person.

On Halloween, your sister and her husband where murdered by a Wizard called Voldermort, I am deeply would yet again like to send my condolences to you and your letter, I like many other people will miss Lilly and her husband, James, but she will me missed more greatly by her family, as will be James.

This is where Harry comes in, he also was almost killed, but he survived, because of Lilly's love for him. I have decided to leave Harry with you because you are his closest relatives and I am sure you will look after him as your own, I also do not want him growing up in a place where everyone knows him.

Like I have already said I want you to look after him and treat him like he is your own son. But also in time I want you to tell him his parents, and of course Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, the school he will be attending.

As well as this I would like you to tell him anything else you think is of importance, including more about his world, and also how when he does finally 'enter the barrier' into his world, how everyone will know his name, and also why this is.

I have performed some magic which will help protect Harry during his childhood and also mot of his teenage years, this spell is quite difficult to explain. So I will try and put it simply, basically if you let Harry return at least once a year until he is sixteen, ad then once more before his seventeenth birthday, this magic will help protect him against Voldermort.

I will once more say how sorry I am for the loss of your sister. I would also like to wish you good luck in the future.

I should not be in contact with you until it is time to send Harry is letter, which will be his 'invite' to our school'

Wishing you the very best in the future

Yours sincerely

Albus Dumbledore

p.s I will know if you have followed my 'instructions'.

To be honest with you I'm not really sure if it's any good, so I have just decided to post it and hope for the best. Also I know I have probably got some of the facts wrong so I would like to apologize for that. Please can you review, even if you do think its rubbish, because if you do I will try to improve it until I get it right.

Writing this letter was much harder then I thought it would be.
