A man wearing a hood walked into a bar.

What can i get for you? The bartender asked.

Firewhiskey is fine the man said tell me do you know how Nihilus, the Nightmare lord came to be.

No the bartender said but I've heard legends.

A long time ago, he was known as Harry James Potter. He was different from any other boy. He was given to the orphanage after his aunt, uncle and cousin died in a freak accident. A strange fire started out of nowhere. The neighbors heard rumors about Harry but they thought he was just a regular boy. He always waved politely. Harry never cried at all as a baby. The people who worked at the orphanage remembered strange things would happen every time someone tried to mess with Harry. They had no idea of the monster that lived inside.

Harry James Potter sat on his floor mediating when he heard a gentle knock on his door.

Come in Harry said.

A old man with a beard that went down to his belt walked in.

Hello sir what's your name Harry said without turning around.

I am Albus Dumbeldore Dumblefuck said I've come to give you a invitation to a school of magic.

Magic? Harry said so that's what i can do? I always knew i was special.

A shiver went down the old man's spine as the speech was eerily similar to one he had received 50 years ago from a certain Dark Lord at the same age.

Sir Harry said would you happen to know what happened to my parents.

They were killed by a very powerful dark wizard who goes by the name of Lord Voldemort Dumbledore said.

Let me see that invitation Harry said turning around.

Dumbeldore was surprised by Harry's appearance.

He expected a 11 year old clone of James but the boy before him was not that.

The boy in front of him had eyes like the avada kedavra curse. The way he carried himself suggested control, like a leader.

Dumbeldore handed the invitation to Harry. Harry didn't even read the letter. The envelope was thick and heavy, made of yellowish parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink. Turning the envelope over, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter H. Harry opened the envelope.

Harry put the letter back in the envelope.

I'll get my things tomorrow Harry said.

Harry turned toward his window.

His eyes flashed blood red then quickly became green as if it was just a trick of the light.


The name Nihilus is from a Harry Potter Fanfiction called Harry Potter, The Wrath of the Dark Lord by ZaneT69 and the nightmare lord title from Tiro.
