This is my first attempt at fan fiction so tell me what I should and shouldn't change.

**Please review**

I do not own any of these characters from Harry Potter.

 Harry Potter and the Unknown

Chapter 1 – Secrets of the Dark Forest

Harry Potter was not just another ordinary boy.  He was a wizard and a powerful wizard at that.  He had beaten "he who is not to be named" so many times before but now it was more personal than before.  A friend of his had been killed and he would go to any distance to prevent it from happening again.

As he got off the Hogwarts Express he saw his Uncle Vernon.

"Come along boy we haven't got all day and you have chores to do."

            That is when Harry snapped.  He looked at his uncle with a death glance and if he hadn't been controlling his temper he would have blown up his uncle right then and there.  What did he care what the Ministry thought if he did some magic over summer. 

"I'm not coming with you … you muggle.  I'm going somewhere were I can train and do my work in peace." Harry shouted and he grabbed his broom. He then pointed his wand at his trunk and said "litus airus" which made it go flying onto his broom where he tied it on.

He got on his broom, grabbed the handle and sped off towards the Dark Forest.

The Dark Forest was a forbidden place where you could go and practice magic and the dark arts without anyone.  This was why Harry was going there. He had to become stronger than before.

As he landed in Dark Forest he realized he had no place to stay. Then he remembered a spell, for making a house that Hermione taught him.

"Villa Erectus" he shouted.  All of a sudden the trees seemed to fall down and construct a house on their own.  "Hmmm maybe I should help out" he thought. So he got to work with his wand and the house started to come alive.

Back at Hogwarts…..,

"What do you mean he didn't go home with the Dursleys" Boomed a very angry Professor Dumbledore.

"Well he…ahhh …got really mad at his uncle and just flew off." The little elf squeeked.

"Find him then. If he isn't found soon then the Ministry will have my head. Not to mention that Voldemort has risen so he could be in serious danger.  Jackle go find every teacher that is available and bring them here."

"But sir…."

"No buts Jackle just do it."

Jackle ran as fast as he could out of Professor Dumbledore's office hoping that he wouldn't be hit with a bolt of lightning. And with Jackle gone Dumbledore just lay back in his chair and thought.

" What has the boy gotten himself into this time."

Back in the forest….

            "Great it's too dark to see anything now I better set up camp and sleep the night away." Harry thought as he put down his wand.

            He pulled out a blanket from his trunk and rolled it out on the ground.  He lay down, took one last glance at the house still being built, and fell into a sleep full of people from the past.

            i"Harry, Harry"

           

"Mom"

           

"Harry, my son, I must tell you something. I am your guardian. I will speak to you in your dreams to guide you in the right direction."

"But how will I know what to do at certain times when your not there."

"Harry, Harry just trust yourself. You'll eventually find the way but until then you must study hard.  Go to Knockturn Alley."

"Knockturn Alley?"

"Yes it is a place where you can find anything you need for learning the Dark Arts.  You will need to learn these things if you want to defeat the Ultimate Evil."

"You mean Voldemort?"

"You will learn who in time…in time."

"But how will I ..."

"Just trust yourself Harry and remember you are not who you think you are."

            "No Mom come back…"i

Harry then jerked awake.  He could remember everything that he saw. Usually he only remembered one or two things. He looked at his watch and saw that it was 6:00 a.m. He got up and saw that his house was finished but what was funny was that it was painted with the colors green and silver on the outside and red and gold on the inside.
