It's not always clear why some things happen one way while others happen in another way. Such as how Harry ended up living with the Dursleys. Having a photographic memory didn't help either as Harry clearly remembered what his life was like with his family, he didn't understand why his parents sent him away especially to a place where he was abused.

In his new home all he heard was aunt Petunia 's screeching voice always telling him how worthless he was, her walrus of a husband agreeing with her and encouraging their son to beat him up and rewarding him when he did. The beatings started when he had his first accidental magic where he threw his uncle against the wall so hard he was in a coma for several weeks as well as a broken arm and two ribs.

The burst of magic was a result of the man smacking him, making him fly across the room and hit the wall. It became a normality in the house to see Harry being kicked and smacked none of his relatives even bat an eyelash at the sight of an injured Harry.

In the beginning Harry cried himself to sleep but when he realised that no matter how much he cried or wished for someone to come and take him away it never happened. He finally accepted that his parents didn't want him. Now he didn't cry even when he got hurt. He kept it to himself and took it one day at a time, after all at some point he would be able to leave on his own, all grownups did. He just had to be patient. Little did he know that things would change for him far sooner than he realised.

This particular day started out like any other. Five year old Harry Potter, who had been living with his relatives for the better part of three miserable years got up as usual and got dressed and made his way out of his cupboard, which was his bedroom, to start breakfast. He sighed to himself as he cracked the eggs knowing he was not going to get any and proceeded to cook with a fluidity a five year old should not have. Before he knew it he had breakfast on the table ready and waiting for the Dursleys who he could hear coming down the stairs.

Grabbing his slice of toast, Harry made his way outside to start work on the back garden. He could feel unusual warmth all over and a swirling of something inside of himself. If he could have gotten close to a mirror he would have seen an unusual glow all over him. As he made his was outside he noticed it was night. Confusion marred his features as he looked around then back inside the house. The Dursley's didn't seem to notice anything strange as they started their breakfast as usual, he could also see morning light streaming through the window.

He turned back to the abnormal change around him and saw that someone was standing in front of him. The man looked like he was made out of the night sky. He had stars appearing at random on his body and a smile on his face.

His voice was smoother than Harry was expecting to hear to hear in a pleasant way, "Hello Harry, I'm Chaos."

Looking at his feet shyly Harry answered "Hello Mr Chaos. Did you make it night in the morning?"

Taking a look around Chaos seemed to notice for the first time the effect he had on his surroundings.

He turned back to Harry and said "I guess I did. I sometimes forget that that happens when I leave my home. I know what you have been through Harry and what you are going through now. I also know what your anger will do in the future, you are not an ordinary little wizard Harry, and you are my descendant the last of my children's children. I will not stand by and let these mortals do this to you. Saying that I have a proposal for you, you don't have to answer right away but I would like to adopt you and make you my son. You will have the power to protect yourself and be happy as you should be."

Harry had tears in his eyes. He was intelligent enough to know that going with a complete stranger was wrong, anything could happen but he didn't care. He was already a slave to the Dursleys and he was treated worse than an unwanted animal. He was just tired and here was someone offering him something he wanted for so long.

He looked up into the eyes of the stranger for the first time and said "You really want me?"

Nodding Chaos said "Of course Harry, after all you are the last of my family."

Frowning Harry said "How can I be the last? I mean my parents…"Chaos cut him off as he said "Your parents each carried my gene but it was not strong enough on its own so when they had you it created the connection to me. The blood of my children thinned out over the years until now."

Smiling again Chaos said "If you want to know how I am so sure that you are connected to me it's your ability to understand things you are not supposed to for your age. You are smarter than the average joe and if you were a normal five year old wizard or not your aunt and uncle would have been able to make you believe their lies. So what do you say Harry?"

Harry smiled back and said "Yes I will go with you."

Chaos picked Harry up and walked into the night sky disappearing with Harry for the next five and half years, after all he wanted his new son to be able to show those who had turned their backs on him just how much of a mistake they made. Whether Harry decided to save or destroy them he would not stand in his way, in fact he would be right beside him to watch the fireworks.

The Dursleys were in the middle of eating the breakfast Harry made when they noticed something happening to them. They noticed that their movement was hindered and their bodies were becoming stiff. Petunia tried to screech Harry's name but nothing came put. She was the first to solidify with a look of horror on her face, followed by her son Dudley and finally Vernon. What was worse was being aware the whole time and being unable to move. They would be like this until Harry came back.

All they heard was Chaos laughing as he said "Dursleys you are grounded, at least until my son Harry sees fit to release you. If you are smart you will use this time to think about the things you did to him and the abuse you heaped on an innocent child.

Harry found himself in a landscape that went for miles on end with beautiful rich green grass everywhere and lots of flowers everywhere. There were streams and rivers as well flowing everywhere with crystal clear water that showed Harry the bottom, which had fish and water plants in them.

Harry had never seen anything so beautiful. He looked at Chaos and said "Is this your home?"

Chaos shook his head as he answered "No Harry this is your mind creating this. My home takes the form of whatever I want it to. When we came through I let you unconsciously pick what would make you more comfortable."

Shaking himself out of his stupor Harry noticed a black splodge in one of the streams. It seemed to be infecting the rest of the water in that stream. Not quite understanding Harry turned back to Chaos and said "What's that in the water?"

"Harry that water is a representation of your magic, the rivers and streams show your magical channels. As my descendant you don't have a core. At least that will make it easier for the change about to occur."

After another look at the black splodge he said "That however is a parasite attached to you living off of your magic. I'm going to get rid of it before the adoption ritual. I'm afraid it's going to hurt Harry it's been attached to you for too long it's making itself a part of your magic."

Harry gulped but then reminded himself that he lived with pain everyday with the Dursleys, his threshold for pain was very high. So he braced himself and said "Ok lets do it."

Chaos hugged Harry before saying "It will be okay Harry, I'll always be here for you."

Harry felt a warmth in his chest and was even more determined to go through with this. Moving back Chaos began to pour waves of magic on the black splodge and watched as it loosened and began to float to the top of the water like oil. He kept at it until it was free of the stream and was now floating above it. He then directed it to a crack in the blue sky above them shaped like a lightning bolt and pushed it through. As soon as it was through he sealed the crack and returned his attention back to Harry who he now only noticed was lying on the ground thrashing about in pain. Chaos rushed over and picked him up. Whatever that thing was, it was not there for Harry's good. He could still feel the malignant magic from it although it was slowly fading. He cradled Harry like a baby and rocked him back and fourth while talking to him gently to pull him out of the throes of pain.

"It's alright now Harry, it's gone now, you are going to be just fine."

Harry felt the pain in his body slowly leave him and his mind less confused. He could feel someone was holding him, which made him tense up . No-one ever touched him let alone held him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Chaos' eyes looking right into his. They were sky blue and seemed to hold concern in them. For him? Why would he worry about him? He pulled himself up and Chaos let go so he could.

He reached up to his forehead and found that the lightning bolt he associated with his life before the Dursleys was gone. He felt a pang at the thought. A small part of him had always hoped that it was some kind of mistake and that his parents did want him even after he had given up hope.

Chaos who was still holding him on his lap said "It's alright Harry. There is nothing wrong with wanting your parents to want you. That scar was just a reminder of something in your past. If it is what you really want you can always go back and find out why they gave you up. You might still be able to make newer happier memories with them. If they are the people they seem to be I'll help you make them as miserable as they made you."

"You would be okay with me going back?"

Chaos could see the insecurity in Harry's eyes when he answered "Harry I didn't bring you here to keep you prisoner. You are free to come and go as you please. Well at least let me teach me teach you how to protect yourself first. Besides I will be going with you as your guardian. I am not going to let those mortals hurt you again."

Harry noticed Chaos creating fluffy clouds and releasing them into the bright blue sky.

"Inside each of these clouds is a memory about magic from the very basic to the most complicated. I am infusing each cloud with my power it will change your DNA to be the same as mine, It also means you will no longer be human this is so you will be able to handle so much power and knowledge."

He stopped to see if Harry was following what he was saying before he continued.

"… you will feel tired as your mind assimilates the information I'm giving you. You will fall asleep and the information will be absorbed into your mind and as that happens changes to your body will occur and the adoption process will begin. When you wake up the changes will be complete and I can begin teaching you how to control your new power." Chaos could see Harry's eyes starting to droop and realised he would be out any second.

"This is your family legacy Harry, whatever choices you make I will support you."
