Hello, this is the first fan fiction I have posted on here so any feedback would be great thanks (good or bad).

~~00~~

"Albus, we think we've found him." A dark skinned man said and every head swivelled in their direction.

"Harry?" The man, Albus, whispered eyes wide with disbelief and hope.

"Yes, we have had reports of a dark haired, green eyed boy walking around a small town called Haggard in Dublin, Ireland."

"Well how do you know it's him? There must be loads of lads with black hair and green eyes around. And anyway what's he doing in Ireland?" A gangly red head stated bluntly.

Albus just closed his eyes and sighed heavily. The upcoming war has been hard on everyone but on Albus especially.

In what would be Harrys first year he had stolen Nicholas Flamel's philosopher stone. He had placed the mirror of Erised in an empty classroom where harry was bound to find it but Harry had never shown. A search party was sent out to find him but they didn't succeed. Albus had to cover Harry's absence by lying; he had said Harry was receiving personal training for a classified reason. Many rumours had followed this statement including some about the wellbeing of Harry's mental health. Quirrell was fired at the end of the year for being incompetent because of his stutter. The stone was swiftly returned to Nicholas and the traps on the third floor were removed.

The next year a basilisk was released in the school and it petrified many students before it killed one. Ginny Weasley, a first year, was being possessed by a diary of Tom Riddle and she was setting the basilisk on the students. She come too close and had ended up on the receiving end of the basilisks yellow gaze. She was discovered on the charms corridor, diary in hand and a shocked look plastered on her childish features. The memory Riddle had been also killed from the gaze as it was possessing Ginny at the point of death and so the diary had a sizzling hole in the shape of an eye on its centre.

Finally this year an escaped convict, Sirius Black, had managed to sneak on to the grounds of Hogwarts and hide in the shrieking shack. He was found by Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Ronald had been dragged in by his leg while Hermione was scolding him for taunting Draco Malfoy. He was grabbed in the teeth of a dog and pulled in to the secret entrance under the whomping willow. Miss Granger had followed him and they had come face to face with Sirius Black who they proceeded to drag in to the castle bound and gagged. He was finally given a trial and was found innocent. The ministry gave him a hefty compensation for his years of hell and he is now a free man.

It is now August and the order of the Phoenix had finally caught what might be a glimpse of their hero.

"Thank you Kingsley, now let's decide who will be going and who will be staying."

"I shall go Headmaster." A plump woman sprouted from the kitchen. "After all the poor boy hasn't got the chance to have a proper mother so I shall be there to comfort him when he realises how important he is." Everyone nodded and Molly gave a satisfied smile.

"I think we should also go, he will need someone his own age to communicate with." Hermione Granger said as she gestured between herself and Ronald Weasley.

"Yes I think that would be a good idea Miss Granger." Headmaster Dumbledore said and the discussion continued.

Eventually they had come to an agreement of who would attend.

"So it shall be me, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Miss Granger, Mr Weasley, Molly, Remus, Sirius, Kingsley, Alastor and Tonks." A collective nod went through the group and they turned back to Albus for further instructions.

"Meet back here tomorrow at 9am sharp and we shall portkey there." Everyone rose and bid each other goodbye. Many discussions carried on outside of the door and Albus grinned evilly.

"You have evaded me for this long Harry; it's time to step up to your destiny." So with that Headmaster Albus too many middle names Dumbledore, master manipulator and overall hidden bad guy stood and exited through the fire place still grinning.
