Prologue
Mr and Mrs Dursley of Four Privet Drive prided themselves on being normal. The mere thought of abnormality sent shivers down their spine. However, every household has a secret, and the Dursley's secret was as abnormal as you can get. You see, Mrs Dursley had a sister. Now, she would never admit she had a sister to anyone, as her sister was a witch.
Her sister, Lily Potter nee Evans, grew up 'normal', by Petunia's standards, but when she was eleven, received a letter from Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Petunia got jealous over the fact that she was never invited, causing her to become angry at her sister, letting the anger fester as the years went by. Lily went through seven years at Hogwarts, meeting and falling in love with James Potter, whom she married almost as soon as they left school. They had a child together, a baby boy whom they named Hadrian.
Now, at the time there was a war going on in the wizarding world, between the forces of the light, led by Albus Dumbledore, and the forces of the dark, led by Lord Voldemort. On Halloween 1981, Voldemort decided to go after the Potters personally. He went to their house, killed both James and Lily Potter before trying to kill their son. No-one knows quite what happened next, but it is suspected that Voldemort's killing curse rebounded off of Hadrian and destroyed the Dark Lord's body.
Dumbledore placed Hadrian at the Dursleys while the rest of the Wizarding World was celebrating, not wanting him to grow up surrounded by admiration. Little did he know, he would come to regret ever letting young Hadrian leave his sight.
