Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters…
Summary:
It was a surprising turn of events, to all but Harry Potter of course. The wizarding world had high hopes for the boy; relying on him one moment and then turning on him in the next. No one really bothered to see the boy for who he really was, no one really cared. Of course it took a while for everyone to realize their mistake, for Harry had defeated their darkest fears, He-Who-Must-Not-be-Named. At least they thought so, until fear had a name, Harry Potter.
Prologue:
The First and Second Mistakes
Everyone was celebrating. How could they not when Voldemort had disappeared? Not everyone knew, but the Dark Lord had made a terrible mistake that night. Most would agree that he should not have gone after the Potters, for a mere baby had brought him down. This would be a misconception. Yes, Lilly Potter had given her life to save her son, and love had protected him. Yes, the Dark Lord had fallen due to said mother's love. The falsehood in this matter would not be that it was a mistake to go after the Potters, but one Potter in particular, Harry Potter. When the Dark Lord had targeted Harry, he did not realize the significance of his decision. It was not vengeance that Voldemort should worry about, nor any type of morality, but what he had created. Due to the Dark Lord's paranoia he had created a monster, one that would patiently bide his time to wait for the perfect opportunity. What was the perfect opportunity? Well that comes later.
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore has everyone's interests at heart, if you are on the right side, of course. Now here was the decision that would haunt him for the rest of his life, not that he knew it at the moment, or would know for quite some time. Where would the newly orphaned Harry Potter grow up? Dumbledore knew of Lilly's sacrifice and had decided that family was the best option for the young child,despite the disagreement of Minerva McGonagall. It is common for disagreements for not one person is exactly the same as another. But, if a woman, who happens to be the deputy headmistress of a prestigious school had taken the day to observe the family and decided they were unsuitable, their opinion should probably be noted. Not only did Dumbledore disregard the very sound advice he was receiving, but he made the gravest mistake the world had ever known. That's how they described it, in the history books I mean, the gravest mistake the world had ever known. Despite the many accomplishments Albus Dumbledore had achieved in his years, he would only be remembered as the biggest fool the world had ever known. Although slightly unfair, Dumbledore had mentored the two greatest dark wizards, and even had a major role in making one. Now how does one go and make a dark wizard? The answer is simple. Send them to live a horrible life with abusive relatives. They really should have seen this coming.
AN:
Well I decided to make an evil Harry fic…and don't worry the whole POV will be different in the actual chapters, I just thought it would be fun to right a prologue like this. (No more talking directly to the readers) :D Hope you enjoyed and please review. -LP
