Harry James Potter of Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey was bored out of his mind. He was stuck in his or rather Dudley's second bedroom until Uncle Vernon was done with his stupid dinner party. Unfortunately for him he was a wizard …. So his relatives didn't like him much.

Suddenly a small ball of red light appeared in what was officially his bedroom. And a very quiet musical voice spoke to him "Harry Potter".

"Yes" replied Harry cautiously

"I am here to offer you help, but you cannot see what I look like unless you decide that you want my help" said the voice.

"What are you offering" Asked Harry

"I will train you, protect you, feed you and help ensure your survival against the dark one." Replied the voice

"Voldemort" queried Harry

"No young one came the voice not the one you call Voldemort. Albus 'too many name to remember 'Dumbledore. He is the dark one Voldemort as you know him is one of his victims." Said the voice sadly

"But Dumbledore is the good guy isn't he" said Harry

"No" said the voice "but He hides it well"

Harry thought for a moment but then he remembered that Dumbledore didn't answer all his questions last year and so if he wanted to live then he might as well learn.
