Dark Beginnings
Chapter the First
Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is sitting as his desk enjoying a lemon drop while sorting out all the paperwork necessary for the upcoming school year. Thinks to himself 'Ahh what a year it shall be as well, quite busy I assume with the coming of Harry Potter after all, I bet Minerva is preparing the letters even now.'
In fact Minerva McGonagall was on her way to the Headmasters office with Harry Potter's letter in hand. She stormed the door and slammed the letter down screeching out "What is this??"
Albus gives a chuckle "Well Minerva it would appear to be a school letter, hmm? Anything I can help you with?"
"Yes Albus there is, this is Harry Potter's letter, and you told me that he was with his relatives in Privet Drive, when did you move him? Why wasn't I told? I expect a good explanation."
"Whatever are you talking about my dear, Harry Potter is safe and sound at his Aunts where I left him all those years ago."
"Do you mean to tell that in all the years in between when you left him there against my better judgment I might add, you have never not once checked in with him to see how he was developing with those horrid muggles?"
"Well no I didn't they are his only living blood relatives and I'm sure that they would take excellent care of the boy, love him like their own."
"Then explain the address on the letter Albus."
It was only then that Albus Dumbledore one of the greatest wizards of the age looked upon the letter which would so soon place a heavy guilt and fear upon his heart.
Mr. Harry Potter
Room 7
St Mary's Orphanage
London
" My god Minerva, what have I done, I will deliver the letter personally, I fear that I have inadvertently done a terrible thing Harry. I will be back shortly with Mr. Potter."
With agility unseen for his age, Albus leapt from his seat all thoughts of lemon drops forgotten and headed outside the gates of Hogwarts proceeded to turn on his heel to disappear and then reappear on a run down street in London before an orphanage which held Harry Potter within its walls.
He entered unaware of the bright green eyes watching him intently from his old desk. "I guess there is another like me then Myrddin" Hissed out Harry Potter to his pet snake.
"Well then lets wait and see what he wants with you master, do not mention me young wizard." Flicked out Harry's only companion as it hid underneath his bed.
