Prologue
Harry hadn't wanted to go back to Privet Drive. He had asked Dumbledore if he could go straight to the Burrow, or even stay at Hogwarts, but the old man firmly told him that he needed to, for his own protection. Harry had then gone to the Weasleys, begging them to take him with them. Molly looked apologetic, saying she wanted to, but Dumbledore had said no. Then, in desperation, Harry found himself contacting Remus. But the werewolf had told him the same thing everyone else had- he needed to go to the Dursleys.
What they didn't know was that their refusal, even if it was out of their concern for Harry's safety, was driving Vernon Dursley's message deeper into the boy's head. The message that Harry had been hearing ever since he was eleven and had gotten his Hogwarts letter: "Nobody wants you." So at King's Cross Station at the end of fifth year, Harry mumbled goodbye to his friends, hoping that it would not be the last time he would see them.
Hoping, because none of them knew what really happened when Harry was at Number 4, Privet Drive.
