A/N: This is my first fanfic so don't be to harsh on me; constructive criticism is encouraged. This is also in another universe of course.
Chapter 1
The Discovery
Harry flipped the bacon, as he listened to Dudley complain that he only got 49 presents. He walked simultaneously to his uncle, Uncle Vernon. He dropped the bacon onto his plate.
"SIT DOWN BOY!" boomed the hairy wizard-hater.
Harry sat down at the table wondering what he had done wrong now.
"It's time we told you that you were adopted."
Dudley and Aunt Petunia froze and sat down on the nearest sofa, starting to listen with interest.
"B-but didn't Hagrid say that my p-parents died because of-well you know who?"
"Hagrid is a friend of mine. We made it up."
"B-but you told him to leave!"
"We planned the thing together."
"B-but I thought y-you hated m-magic!"
"Not really."
"The D-Dark Lord!"
"Hagrid made up this Dark Lord thing with that Dumbydore dude."
"Who is the "dark lord" then?"
"Well the so-called "dark lord" is just a man with face paint named Tom."
"S-so I almost died for nothing."
"We made sure you didn't die."
"But why?"
"So that we could look like normal people, not people who let children die carelessly, boy!"
"B-but the Death Eaters!"
"All of Tom's friends."
"My rival, Draco Malfoy!"
"Tom's friend's son of course."
Harry got up and tried to process all the information. He felt fog blur his mind and went to his bed. He tried to clean his mind by sleeping, but kept shuffling around, unable to process everything.
A/N: I know it was short, it was pretty much a prologue. Please review!
