AN: Characters are not mine JK's the lucky person, especially in this chapter I will be using lots of lines from the books, but they WILL be different. And some characters might be OOC… sorry if you don't like this… tell me if that is the case. Oh and I know this is short... it is a Prologue..
Enjoy!
Prologue, First meeting:
Diagon alley, it was the weirdest place Harry had even been to-not that he had visited many places in his life with the Durselys. Hagrid had just left him to go inside a wizarding shop alone. He wasn't sure if he could mange it, what if he made a mistake? Nervously Harry opened the door to Madame Malkin's robes for all occasions, and went inside.
"Hogwarts Dear?" A lady he assumed to be Madame Malkins asked. Harry didn't trust himself to answer and so he nodded, but she didn't seem to be paying him any attention.
"Got the lot here-another young is being fitted up just now, in fact." He looked to where she was pointing to a boy.
He had a pale face, blonde hair, and deep grey eyes. He was standing on a footstall looking like he would want to be someplace else.
"Hello," said the boy "Hogwarts too?"
"Yeah," said Harry.
"My father is next door getting books, and my mother is getting my potions equipment," he said as an explanation to why he was by himself.
"Where are your parents?" He then asked.
"Dead," said Harry, he was used to this question, everyone had asked him this before.
"Oh, I'm really sorry," said the boy, and it seemed he really meant it, he was the first person who felt for him, Harry smiled at the thought, maybe this boy could be his friend at Hogwarts.
"It's ok, I don't remember them," Harry said, opening up to the boy faster than he had to anyone else, something about his face made Harry trust him.
"That must be horrible, I would hate it if my father and mother died, they take care of me." He said, and then he smiled at Harry, and Harry smiled back.
"Are your parents wizards?" Harry asked trying to change the subject, and failing.
"Yeah, as far back as I know all my family are magical. My dad is all for blood purity and superiority. Personally I don't see why anyone should be treated differently from other people, muggles are just as important as wizards in my opinion." He said, taking a breath, he seemed proud of himself for telling Harry this.
"Blood purity?" Harry asked confused.
The boy paused wondering how to explain it to Harry and was about to answer until…
"You're done now dear" said Madame Malkin to the boy.
The boy blinked and then got off the stool. He turned and looked up at Harry:
"I'll see you at Hogwarts" he smiled and turned to walk out of the shop…
"Bye!" Shouted Harry… as the boy closed the door; he hoped the boy had heard him.
Harry thought about the boy, his first friend in his year… he now couldn't wait for Hogwarts to see the Blonde haired wizard again…
Hey! Hope you enjoyed this… I will update this (hopefully) weekly… but right now I have quite a bit of exams going on, so maybe not that often.
If you review it will make me more willing to write more of this story :D
