Dear Harry,
I am sorry if you receive this letter. All I wanted to do was protect you, and keep you from harm. When I saw the brutality of your parents death I was so shaken words cannot describe how I felt. I swore a wizard's oath right then and there that I would protect you, be a grandfather to you, and help you with your destiny however possible.
I should probably explain a few item, before you get too overly mad and angered at me. I need to explain my motives for why I did what I did in your life. I had no wish to trap you in a world of darkness, the prophecy did that. I myself barely can compete with Tom. I constantly asked myself how will a boy merely 11 be able to fight against the darkest and evilest of evil. I then got this stupid idea, that if I was to bring challenges to you, then you could learn. I had already figured that being a 11 year old and not to mention being the son of a marauder that you would be the curious and adventurous type. Fate seals everyone's death just as it has finally sealed mine.
The first two years was actually mostly planned. Besides the diary of course. I knew something was up with Quirell, however everytime I went to go investigate he covered his traps quite well. The chamber is always known about to every headmaster. I had no idea that the chamber held a mystical and dangerous snake, however even then you proved to be truly who you are. The remaining years fate decided, I tried to be grandfatherly, protect you, keep you and be ready for the right timie.
However, I also do recognize, that as an old fool I forgot one major factor, wisdom. You must know how to fight to win a war. I only started to realize that currently. That is why I planned on sharing with you some old memories of Tom. Know thine enemy. In your seventh year, I was going to personally train you, and perhaps if time availed and if you wished apprentice you. This probably will not happen, the ring has taken half of my life, and Tom is far too strong for me. He is on a level that only perhaps Merlin himself could battle forces with. Harry stay strong.
With wisdom comes power, and with power comes great responsibility. I would normally not advise someone to go into the dark arts, or train various gray arts, however for your specific case, I believe it to be a last case that must be done no matter what. Therefore, I have "borrowed" an item from the Department of Mysteries. It is an ancient sphere that was supposedly created by Merlin. I do not know if it will work for you or not. The sphere has markings on it that has been roughly translated into something around the words of, " When the age of darkness comes, and the lion has gone weak, The phoenix shall aid and the lion with courage once more will finally devour what was good and is now bad.
Harry I love you as much as love can be described, do try not to get killed, and when you do have to kill Tom remember it is for the better good and is not worth mourning over murder.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
"Holy hell"
Author's note: Ok tell me what you think. In addition, before anyone asks no this will not be a supper powered Harry Potter story, fate even has to be fair.
