It was a dark and gloomy day in privet drive. The sky was dull grey color, the winds were chilly and there was barely anyone outside in privet drive as almost all the residents had wisely taken shelter in their homes fearing the heavy rain that was sure to pour except one.

Harry was walking in the streets of privet drive trying to forget the red eyes of his enemy Voldemort. He had just woken up from a nightmare of Voldemort and his death eaters torturing a poor muggle family. He shook his head as images of the nightmare continued springing up in his mind. he was turning a sharp corner when someone crashed into him and knocked him down.

Harry straightened his askew glasses and looked at the person who he had crashed into. He saw a person who looked as he had just graduated from Hogwarts dusting himself off and then wildly starting to search for something by reaching out his hand and looking frantically at the road. He had long, dark red, hair which he wore in a ponytail, skinny body that was perfect for quidditch and dark brown eyes. He wore muggle jeans and a T-shirt

Harry said to the stranger` sorry sir I haven't been watching where I`m going. What are you looking for?

The man looked up and saw harry. His eyes traveled up to his forehead and his lightning bolt scar. His eyes widened while harry began straightening his bangs over his scar.

`Not a muggle then' thought harry.

The man said `well hello young man. I am just looking for a letter that fell around here. It's very important you see. Could you help me find it?

`Sure thing'

Harry kneeled and started searching for the item. Soon his hands found a thick object. He grabbed it and saw it was a letter of some sort with an odd black seal. He handed it over to the man.

Thank you, young lad. Here you keep it.

What?

Just then the man grinned maliciously and whispered `maxima mala'

Harry experienced a tug around his navel and soon a blinding pain in his head

He passed out.
