Disclaimer : I do not own Harry Potter, Rowling does (I wish I did). I simply created the plot of this fic.
A/N : So... Hey everyone! Just got a few words to say to you guys before we start, first is that this is a Harry Potter fic and that he is gonna be real skilled with weapons and his wand but he is not gonna be awesomely unnaturally powerfull. So I found it's kind of a good balance because the weapons he wields make him super dangerous and vicious while his magic is about just below Dumbls or Voldie. There will be some bashing (Weasleys, Dumbledore, Hermione...). Harry will have lots of magical and non magical abilities. Also, for the pairings, Harry will be involved but not just yet. Yea I think that I'm done with my rambling so I have the honour of presenting 'Black Swan', my first fic! On with the story!
Chapter 1 : It all begins
The night of the 31 of October 1981, Lord Voldemort killed James and Lily Potter in their home. That night, he was defeated by a mere one year old boy when his killing curse rebounded on said boy and came back at him before he even had the time to blink.
When Albus Percival Wilfrick Brian Dumbledore arrived at the scene, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He rushed inside closely followed by his deputy headmistress who had come with him, and what he saw made him want to puck. James Potter lay sprawled on the floor, covered in blood. It looked as though the Dark Lord had had some fun before killing him off. Then the two teachers went up the stairs on to the landing only to find that half the floor had been blown up and that pieces of rubble littered the place. Where the nursery should have been, only Lily's body remained, motionless on the ground and a suspiciously black cloak... And a wand lay next to her. Minerva McGonagall had tears in her eyes after seeing her two brightest students dead.
"Where is little Harry?" She asked in a frantic voice.
"I am looking for him right now but I don't seem to find him. He must be under some of the rubble." He responded while levitating every single piece of rubble in sight in hopes of finding the boy.
After about one hour of searching the babe, they finally found him on the ground below, having been blown through a hole in the first floor. When they looked through the hole below, avada kedavra green eyes locked on theme and they fell in a kind of trance. Dumbledore was the first to shake himself out of it and brought Minerva back to her senses.
"Come, Minerva, we must call Hagrid and tell him to get the child to his relatives. The Dursleys should be good to him." He told. 'They should benefit my plans…' He thought to himself as they walked to the entrance where they were to meet with Hagrid. When Hagrid had the boy, they apparated to #4 Privet Drive where they were to meet Hagrid and Harry. While they were waiting, Albus scribbled a small letter to the Dursleys, explaining everything.
Once the boy was placed on the doorstep, covered in a thin blanket and had the letter attached to it, the adults departed without a backward glance, except for Hagrid who was always very sentimental.
What the adults didn't know was that, lurking in the shadows, a man sporting short raven black spiky hair, a well built frame and wearing midnight black pants and shirt, was observing them. Once they were gone, he jumped out of the dark shadows as if they were water and snatched the boy from the doorstep. He looked into the boy's eyes and what he saw made him grin like a madman. Then he glided back to the shadows with inhuman grace and slid into them, disappearing from sight and taking with him the only evidence of what transpired that night.
The second the man disappeared, the fates were forever changed.
A/N : So I hope you liked this first chapter. Anyway remember this is my fist fic so I apologies if the quality of the story is not that good. In the future the chapters should be much longer, just so you know. Don't hesitate to leave a review, it makes my day all that brighter, and I'll see you next time!
