A/N- Harry Potter does not belong to me, anything you recognise is not mine.
Harry Potter was no stranger to fear, as a chid there was many things he feared; he feared the dark, he feared his 'family', but most of all he feared what he could do. You see Harry Potter was no ordinary child, no Harry was a wizard, and although he did not know what he was, he knew what he could do.
The stranger walked towards Harry, his steps calm and slow, "You're afraid," He said, and although this was not a question Harry nodded anyway, "But you're not afraid of me, no, you're afraid of yourself," He continued moving even closer to the child as he spoke, "Why?" He asked, crouching down in front of Harry, now only a foot or two in front of him,
"I'm not allowed," Harry said quietly, not meeting the strangers eyes,
"Not allowed to do what?" the man asked carefully as not to scare away the child,
"I'm not allowed," Harry said again, "They lock me up, they hit me, THEY YELL AT ME!" He said getting louder and louder until he himself was yelling, "I can't stop it, I can't control it," He told the man in front of him, and suddenly it all made sense,
"Oh, Harry," The stranger said, running his hand down his face, looking older than ever before, "I'm so sorry Harry, I'm so, so sorry," Harry stared at the man in front of him, unsure why he was apologizing, "I'm going to take you away, somewhere safe," The man suddenly declared, startling the young child in front of him, "I'll help you, help you control your gifts, your powers," He told him taking a step towards Harry,
"No!" Harry yelled causing the mans step to falter, "No, it's bad, evil, I don't want it, It's not a gift," He said stepping back from the man who seemed frozen in his place,
"Oh, Harry," He said again, "It's not bad or evil, not in the right hands," He said, waving his hand to create a simple lumos, "See?" He said as Harry stepped forward slightly, before shaking his head,
"No," Harry said speaking barely louder than a whisper, "No, you're lying, it is evil, you just don't want me to see that!" He shouted causing an unnatural wind to start-up around the two, "See, it's evil, it's bad. I'm bad," Harry said waving his arm to gesture at the wind that was still winding its way around the two,
"No, Harry, you are not bad, you just need to calm down, to control the power within you," The man told him.
"I can't," Harry said, looking as distraught as he sounded, "I'm sorry," He told the man in front of him, before disappearing in a flash of light, causing the wind to die down and the stranger to stand staring in shock at where the young child had stood only seconds before.
