Chapter 1:
In a small town called Surrey, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain, is a small area called Little Whinging, there lives a couple, whom what they would like to be called ordinary people. Their names were Mr. Vernon Dursley and Mrs Petunia Evans Dursley. Mr Vernon Dursley is a big beefy man with hardly a neck and Mrs Dursley was quite thin with a rather horsey face. They had a big slightly overweight boy named Dudley who would often bullies other children and Mr and Mrs. Dursley would hide their son's wrongdoings saying that he is too good.
Mr Vernon Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings which made drills and his wife would stay at home partying and looking after her child and spoiling him. They were very happy people but harbored a very deep big secret from the world. Mr and Mrs. Dursley were related to another well-known couple known as the Potters, James Charlus Potter and Lily Evans Potter.
There was one thing that the world's people didn't know and some people did although kept a huge secret. The Houses of Parliament knew of this and the Royal Family. That one thing was this that within the world was another world hidden in plain sight, a world of magic and sorcery and all manner of dark and good magical creatures. The Potters were also witches and wizards. Lily Evans Potter was Petunia's young sister and they were both daughters of a nobleman named Lord Henry Evans. Since Lily was their parents' favourite daughter and Petunia was always calling her sister a freak, their parents broke all relations with Petunia and made Lily the heir to the family. James Potter was an extremely handsome wealthy wizard who was related to the Royal Family, He was a Prince and fell in love with Lily and married her. Lily and James were very happy because about a year ago Lily gave birth to a baby boy and named him Hadrian, Harry for short.
Lily and Petunia made peace and became loving sisters again after quite a while. It was the Potters who paid for the house and gave Vernon his business.
She wrote a letter to Lily that if something happens to them then they should look after Harry which they did.
One day, James and Lily disappeared because they were in danger, only a few people knew of their location and then one day word had gone that they were murdered. That very same day Vernon made his way to his office and he saw owls flying everywhere and there were news reports of shooting stars around the country and colorful sparks. He bumped into a small old man and knocked off his feet. There were some very odd looking people in the street in cloaks and robes chattering excitedly and Vernon couldn't help but overhear them.
"The Potters?" said one man "Yes! You-Know-Who killed them, but baby Harry vanquished him" said the other man.
He had bumped into a small man with a cloak and pointed hat, knocking him off his feet.
Vernon helped the man up.
"Oh I'm very sorry, I didn't see you there" said Vernon however the man was not bothered about that and instead he beamed at Vernon.
"Oh never mind that, I am extremely happy today and you should be too. Rejoice, for You-Know-Who has gone at last, even Muggles like you should be celebrating". The man gave Vernon a big hug around the middle and raced off and Vernon never saw him again. Vernon just stood there shocked as he had been hugged by a stranger and was told to celebrate because somebody called You-Know-Who was vanquished. He went home to Petunia.
"Honey, have you heard from your sister lately?" said Vernon.
"No" said Petunia. "Why do you ask?" she asked curiously.
"On my way back home I saw lots of people in cloaks" said Vernon. "It has got to be something from...her lot" Vernon replied. "I overheard some people, talking about the Potters. One man hugged me and told me that You-Know-Who has gone?" said Vernon. Petunia gave a gasp as she knew about this person called You-Know-Who from her sister.
"Really?, That monster has finally gone?" asked Petunia. "That is what I have heard, yes" said Vernon.
"Oh, thank god" said Petunia.
"Have you heard that all of the world leaders are coming tomorrow in England including the President of the United States of America"?
"Yes I have heard indeed, it will be a great day even when You-Know-Who is gone" said Petunia.
Mr and Mrs. Dursley then had wonderful meal together and everyone went to sleep. It was a very peaceful night as there was no sound coming from anywhere apart from the hooting of owls and flying wings. Just then something unexpected happened, a tall man with a pointed grey hat and a grey cloak holding a staff appeared out of nowhere, He was wearing ragged grey robes and he had a long grey beard and long grey hair. This man was a wizard who comes from another dimension another world called Arda.
He was named Gandalf the Grey and he looked as though if he were waiting for someone to come. Just then a loud crack was heard.
The crack came from another man that appeared on the corner of the street as thought he had just popped out of the ground. Nothing like this man had ever been seen on Privet Drive. He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long red robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. He had the most beautiful eyes anyone could ever see. There were crystal clear blue and very bright and light and twinkling. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore. He was the greatest, most powerful wizard ever to have lived, even greater than Merlin himself and all other sorcerers. No being from any world, not even You-Know-Who would dare to have a fight with him. Albus took out what appeared to be a silver cigarette lighter from his pocket; He clicked it and a light from a nearby street lamp went zooming into the device. He clicked the device again and the same thing as another light went into the device.
Click, another light went out, he kept doing this until all lights of from all street lamps of the street, Privet Drive went out. Gandalf approached the wizard with great humility and gave him a small bow. "Albus, my old friend, how are you?, it ha been very long.", Dumbledore walked forward and embraced Gandalf as a brother.
"It is a pleasure to see you, Gandalf, my dear old friend" said Albus beaming at him. Dumbledore then turned to the tabby cat that was on the brick wall, "I should have known that you would be here too, Professor McGonagall" addressing the cat.
The tabby cat jumped off the wall and then transform into a woman with long robes and a cloak. She was a very stern looking woman. Her hair was tied to a bun and she was wearing a pointed hat and square glasses. Dumbledore smiled at the witch and she smiled back.
"Good evening Professor Dumbledore, Gandalf, are the rumours true Albus?" she half said and half asked
Dumbledore said "I'm afraid so Professor the good and the bad". McGonagall said "And the boy?"
"Hagrid is bringing him" replied Albus.
"You think it wise to trust Hagrid with something immensely important as this?" asked Minerva seriously.
"Ah my dear, I would trust Hagrid with my life" said Dumbledore.
"The hour is late Albus, where is Hagrid?" said Gandalf, Dumbledore nodded. "He should be coming."
Just then a roar could be heard not far away and then a huge motorcycle fell out from the sky, however it was nothing compared to the man sitting on it. He was immensely huge and muscular, a giant of a man. His hands were the size of dustbin lids and his feet were as big as baby dolphins. Dumbledore, Gandalf looked surprised at seeing the giant of a man.
The giant took of the goggles and addressed the people.
"Professor Dumbledore, sir, Professor McGonagall and Mr Gandalf" nodding at them smiling.
Albus gave a sigh of relief "No problems, I trust Hagrid" "No sir". "Where did you get that motorcycle?" asked Albus. "Borrowed i', sir".
"The boy?" asked Professor McGonagall looking very serious.
Hagrid was carrying a bundle of blankets in his ginormous hands. Inside the blankets was a beautiful baby boy, fast asleep sucking his thumb.
Hagrid replied " Got him righ' here, little tyke fell asleep jus' as we were flyin' over Bristol, try not teh wake him, there yeh go". handing Dumbledore the baby boy.
Albus took the child from Hagrid, lifted his bangs to see his forehead, on his forehead was a cut shaped like a bolt of lightning. Gandalf then proceeded to walk towards them across to see the beautiful baby boy sleeping and he caressed the child's hair, "Oh Albus, look at him, he is beautiful and just like your grandson James".
Professor McGonagall peeked over as well and spoke "So is that where?" "Yes he'll have that scar forever" replied Professor Dumbledore heavily. "Can't you do something about that scar, Albus?" asked McGonagall. "I'm afraid not, Minerva, even if I could, perhaps I wouldn't because scars can come useful, I have one above my left knee which is a perfect map of the London Underground". Albus then proceeded to Number 4 Privet Drive with the baby. Gandalf and Minerva followed him Minerva was asking Albus, "Albus do you really think that it is safe leaving him here with these people? she said.
"I know what I am doing, my dear Minerva, Petunia and Lily made peace before they went into hiding." said Albus calmly.
Minerva said "This boy will be famous. There shall be not one person in our world who will not know his name".
"He will just as famous in Arda as well" said Gandalf "because I will inform them of the Dark Lord's downfall. They must know"
Albus said "Exactly. He is much better off growing up away from all of that until he's ready."
"I agree with Albus, he is better off having a normal childhood for now, this child has a great destiny ahead of him, he will have to go through many toils and turmoils in his life, I can see it, He is also a Prince of the Elves" said Gandalf sensing some magic on him. Dumbledore nodded in agreement.
He gave Harry a kiss on the forehead and the others did same to the baby boy. He laid the baby on the doorstep. Hagrid looked sober and cleared his throat to try and hide a muffled sob.
"There, there, Hagrid, it's not really goodbye after all" said Dumbledore, smiling, Gandalf smiled at him. Hagrid nodded smiling in understanding wiping the tears from his eyes. Dumbledore turned away from Hagrid and put an envelope addressed to:
Mr and Mrs V. Dursley
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey
Albus turned away said "Professor dawn is almost upon us, we no longer have any business staying here". Professor McGonagall gave a nod and blew her nose with her handkerchief. Gandalf gave Albus a hug, "I have to go back to Middle Earth as well, Albus, I shall see you again in future" said Gandalf. Gandalf walked into the shadows and was gone.
Dumbledore walked towards the end of the street turned around to see Harry. he said
"Good luck, my child, Harry Potter" said Dumbledore, with a swish of his cloak, he was gone.
Dumbledore then appeared in Godric's Hollow at the Potter's cottage, where the cottage was almost ruined. The top half of the cottage was completely ruined and he walked inside and saw the body of James and Lily. There was a loud crack and some Ministry officials appeared at the place. Albus then cried where he saw his beloved grandson James and granddaughter in law Lily lying dead in the house. He instructed the officials to take the bodies away to Hogwarts School to prepare for the funeral of James and Lily. The officials took away the bodies and put them in caskets to the hospitals and prepare them for a grand funeral for their bravery in fighting in the war.
