Chapter One-New Neighbours
Four Years Later...
[LCPOV]
Lucas Christian was a six-foot five male with long silver hair. Though his hair was silver he was in fact only twenty-five. He had clear green eyes with flecks of gold which stood out against his tanned skin. Lucas Christian was also a wizard and had just moved to Privet Drive in Surrey.
He was a Scholar going for his masters in world races and thusly had to spend at least a year among the non-magical. Lucas had decided to do this by working as a teacher.
Lucas smiled as he walked up to his new home. It was a simple four bed house like all the rest on the street. 'Well from the outside at least. The inside is a whole other ball park.' The outside had a large garden out front and out back. The front was trimmed neatly and had a bird bath in the centre of the grass.
The back was similar in that it was neat and trimmed. Lucas also had a bird bath out there. He also had an outdoor table set and off to one side a bench swing under a large elder tree. It was all very normal. Until you entered the house that is.
Inside had been arranged to suit Lucas' needs. The sitting area and dining area were again pretty normal in various shades of black, grey and white with some hints of gold. The cupboard under the stairs had been enlarged to be a downstairs toilet for any visitors to use. The kitchen was all top pf the range and done in soothing shades of green and cream.
Upstairs is where things took a turn for the strange. Two of the four bedrooms had been converted into library's and as such were filled with varying subjects to help the Scholar. Lucas was quite proud of his collection of books. No other Scholar had a collection quite as large as him. The master bedroom was done in golds and greens with a large king size bed in the middle. The final bedroom was done in blues with a double bed. Good for if he had guests. Not that chances of that happening were high. Finally on this floor was a bathroom he had magically enlarged just because he could. It now had a large jacuzzi like bathtub.
The attic was warded against anyone who tried enter without him. This was because it held his most dangerous books and because it was also the area in the house designated for any rituals or summonings he would perform.
The entrance to his basement he had hidden because he had it converted into a potions lab was thusly it was too dangerous to be visible to anybody.
With a grin at how well his new home came together Lucas headed out. Time to call up to the school and meet his new co-workers. Walking down the street he easily side-stepped running five-year olds. 'Probably my new students if they attend the public school.'

Five year old Harry was sad. He had big green eyes, pale skin with bruises from where his Uncle taught him a lesson for been a freak, messy black hair to his shoulders and too big clothes. Yes little Harry was sad. He was a freak and a burden and not even his own mummy and daddy wanted him. Little Harry knew cause Aunty had told him so.
What Aunty didn't know was that little Harry knew how to control his freakiness. Little Harry could make his cupboard door open so he could get food when everyone else was asleep. Mean Dudley was always having bad dreams because Harry wanted him too. Yes Harry knew he was a freak and he should stop being one but it was so much fun.
Harry liked gardening for Aunty cause he got to talk to the snakes. Harry liked snakes. The ones in Aunty's garden told Harry he was a wizard and about his magic. They said he was not a freak but special. Harry believed them cause snakes didn't lie.
Currently Harry was making a pie. Harry had to make this pie cause Aunty said so and if he didn't then Uncle would teach Harry a new lesson. Harry didn't mind making the pie. Harry liked cooking. The pie was for their new neighbour. He was also going to be his and Dudley's new teacher in school. Harry hoped he was nice. The Dursley's and Harry would all be going over to his house later to welcome him to the neighbour hood. Harry couldn't wait to tell his snake friends. They were the only friends little Harry had cause his cousin wouldn't let him have any others.
So little Harry was sad. He was a freak with no friends and his Aunty and Uncle would most likely tell his new teacher this and no one would take little Harry away from his mean family, but that was okay. Little Harry might be sad and a freak with no human friends but little Harry had his snake friends who told him about magic and helped him learn how to use it to make Dudley have bad dreams.
So little Harry had to stay here and be taught lessons by his Uncle and get bullied by his cousin it was okay. Cause when little Harry wasnt so little anymore he was going to teach Uncle lessons and bully Dudley instead. Little Harry just had to wait. The snakes said so and so did the voice in his head that said his name was really Salazar. The voice was getting weaker sadly and said Harry needed to be around more magic so he could remember why he was called Salazar. Harry didn't understand what the voice meant and neither did his snake friends but Harry tried use more magic just incase it helped.

Lucas hummed as he headed home. The meeting with his new co-workers had gone well aside from the looks he got for his choice of clothing. Lucas calmly brushed his hand down the front of his floor length woollen coat. It was black and currently hiding deep purple trousers and a tight red shirt and red ankle boots. 'I don't care what they think of my clothes. I am just here to teach and get my masters. Then I shall return to the Academy and go on as I desire.'
Lucas hummed as he set about making lunch when he got home. He had just put the kettle on when a knock came at the front door. 'I wonder who that could be. Master Holmes shan't visit for a week at least to let me settle in. Oh well one way to find out.'
Lucas was quite surprised to find four unknown people at the door. The eldest male looked like a large whale out of water with no neck in sight. He had a handlebar mustache that really didn't help hin any. The only woman(his wife?) resembled a horse with an extra long neck(good for gossiping and spying on neighbours). She also had blonde hair that looked well cared for and was dressed in a surprisingly flattering dress unlike her husband? who was in a suit. The larger of the two boys was just that larger. The last person at the door was tiny and into large clothes that didn't sit well with the rest of the well dressed family?. Lucas took all this in, in a few short seconds.
"Hello might I help you?" the silver-haired male asked with a smile.
"Yes we are your new neighbours(I was right it would seem) and would just like to welcome you to the neighbourhood. I am Vernon Dursley, this is my lovely(lovely really?) wife Petunia and our strapping(yes into those clothes) young son Dudley. Also our nephew Harry(nephew really? I dont know whether to be glad he got his looks elsewhere or pity him he is stuck with you.)." said the man now identified as Vernon.
"Ohh well I am Lucas Christian. I am the new primary school teacher. Oh where have my manners gone too? Do come in I have just put the kettle on if you would like some tea? Do come sit on the couch there(please dont break it) I shall just get the tea." said Lucas all smiles not giving a hint of his thoughts.
"Oh thank you that would be lovely. I made you this pie. Its apple I hope you like it. Our Dudley is going to the local school. You are his new teacher. Harry will be there also. Here the pie." said Petunia in a rush(breathe woman).
"Thank you just place it on the table there. We shall all have some. I look forward to teaching your son and nephew." said Lucas again all smiles before leaving to get the necessities for pie and tea with some apple juice for the children.

Harry watched as Mr Christian talked to Aunty and Uncle. He was different. He seemed to like his Aunty and Uncle but he had given little Harry pie and kept pulling funny faces when Aunty and Uncle were not looking. 'He is really funny and nice. I can't wait for school. I bet he is really smart and knows lots of stuff. I hope he likes me.'
Harry was so excited when he got home later. He had pie and juice and was now looking forward to telling his snake friends about his new neighbour. He was also coming over for dinner soon and then Harry's snake friends would get to see him too.
Harry was so happy that night he didnt even give mean Dudley bad dreams.
