Disclaimer: I do not own anything dealing with the original Harry Potter.

All was normal on this day except... BANG! Okay, our story begins on the first day of summer in 2004. Andrew Potter was not a normal boy. Sure he looked normal, maybe a bit above average, with good looking hair and blue eyes, same as the devil, and he was just as handsome, but never in his whole life did he expect what he found first thing in the morning on the first day of summer.

"Morning dad," he said, looking ten feet in the air. If it was later in the day, or if he was fully awake, this would have registered as odd long before it did today. "Oh my god! Why are you flying on a broom stick in the middle of our kitchen?!" That's right, in the middle of Andrew's kitchen, his father was flying on a broom stick.

His father jumped off the broom and dropped neatly to the floor. Andrew was always told that he looked like his father, except the eyes, he was always told he had his mothers eyes. "Well Andrew today, is a special day. I will tell you something about your mother and I, you were never rea-" but the rest of his sentence was cut off by a rather quiet poof.

Five seconds ago where there was nothing, now stood a rather old looking man. "Hello Barry," greeted the man, turning to face Andrew's father. "Am I right in guessing that this would be the one coming back with me?" The old man turned to Andrew, and stuck out his hand. "I am Albus Dumbledore, I will be your head master at school." Andrew shook hands with the man.

"Now Albus, you old joker, he hasn't even got his letter yet," said Andrew's father as he walked towards the nearest window. "Even if he had it would have to take someone like you to give me a good reason to let him go after what happened to Sharon. What makes you think I would let my own son go?" Barry's face was full of rage and sorrow. "I only have him and my daughter." At this point Andrew was just noticing the man named Albus was wearing a robe and holding a letter, a letter addressed to him.

"Is that for me?" he asked pointing at the letter. "Is that the letter dad said about just seconds ago? Because if it is then, I don't want it." Albus gave Andrew a concerned look.

"You don't even want to know whats in this letter?" Then he turned to Barry. "Without my school he will never know how to protect himself, when he is no longer safe, what will he do?" Then he lowered his half moon glasses. "She died for him, it's not your fault it so don't punish him. Hogwarts is as safe as it gets." The old man turned to face Andrew. "Andrew Potter there is a secret ab-" But his words were cut off by Barry.

"Albus you will not tell him any of that, it's my job as his father." Barry turned to face his son."Andrew, you are going to with this man, he will take you to london, and take you to his school, because your mother was a witch... and I am a wizard." Andrew looked from his father to his new head master.

"When does term start?" Dumbledore handed him the letter, and Andrew opened it to read it.
