Hello lovely readers, after some time of reading many fics, I decided to dip my fingers into the world of writing. Not too sure if I'll be any good yet, but I'm trying.

I don't own the characters, but I'm sure you all know that. The title came from the series too, so thats not my own either unfortunately.

Obviously this little intro is short, but thats because of the simple reason of it been an intro. Other chapters are longer.

So, let me know what you think, whether it's good or bad.

The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore

Introduction

The July early morning was warm, a sign of the summer heat to come later that day. Throughout the village, light or sound could neither be seen nor heard, apart from that which came from a small cosy cottage on the outskirts of the town. The people in this small cottage were eagerly awaiting a new arrival.

In the bedroom of the cottage, a woman laid flat on her back, holding her legs tight to her chest. Her red face contorted in pain as her scream echoed off the walls. Beside her, trying to sooth and calm her, wiping the hair which was stuck to her drenched face, was her partner. At the foot of the bed, the medi-witch sat alert and ready if any complications were to arise.

"Is it time?" The man asked, directing his question at the witch in room without looking at her.

She answered his question, "Yes,"

At the head of the bed, the man looked into his wife eye's. A reassuring smile spread across his faced and he nodded at her conveying the message silently. She peered up at him, and too a smile crossed her face.

The woman prepared herself taking a deep breath, and then began to push. The seconds ticked by fast, and quicker than thought, the baby had slipped out into the awaiting hands of the medi-witch answering his mothers screams with his own cries.

Before the new born child was passed to his mother, the medi-witch separated both mother and child and wiped the child clean.

In his mother's arms, the baby silenced, and first opened his eyes to stare into her own. The new father, stood close with his arm around his wife, his proud eyes filled with tears staring at his creation.

"Do you know what you shall call him?" the curious medi-witch asked as she appraised the new family.

"Yes. Yes. We shall name him Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore." The mother answered.

With one look at her smiling husband, the new muggle mother knew the name was right for their first born. Unable to keep her attention from her child any longer, she once again turned her gaze to him.

It was that fateful night towards the end of July where a wizard, one who would famously become known as one of the greatest wizards of all time, was born to Kendra and Percival Dumbledore.

Albus Dumbledore is famously known among the wizarding world for his great power and his role as headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However to the likes of me, Rita Skeeter, the very same man is known and unraveled for his secrets.

Let me know what you thought - really appreciate all feedback.

If you noticed any mistakes they're all my own, this piece is un-beta'd.
