I do not own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling does. Wish I did though.

Harry's Dad Voldemort

Chapter 1

Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk and look at the letter. 'Considering what happen, I'm not surprised that no one remembered to take his name off the list' Dumbledore mused as he pick the letter up and read it again.

'A oddly cheery thing considering all the sad memories it brought back' Dumbledore thought. First and foremost among then was the memory of him and Hagrid getting to Godric's Hollow and finding James and Lily's bodies

Past

Dumbledore ran up the garden path with Hagrid close on his heels. The open door was not a good sign, nor was silence. Dumbledore enter the house and stop dead as soon as he saw James, he had not need to check if James was still alive, he'd see the affects of the death spell far to many time to need to. Hagrid stop just behind Dumbledore and whispered 'No, we'r to late'. Hagrid slumped to his knees and started to sob. Dumbledore look sadly at Hagrid, his own grief all to evident on his face, but he had no time to deal with it or comfort Hagrid, he had to find Lily and Harry. The search quickly found that Lily had suffered the same fate as her husband, but of Harry there was no sign. With a bit of hope Dumbledore cast a detection spell to see if Harry was hidden, but himself and Hagrid were the only living people in the house. With a lot of dread he cast a different detection to try and find Harry's body, but with a small bit of relief he found that Lily and James were the only dead people. 'So, there is some small hope Harry is still alive' thought Dumbledore.

Present

Dumbledore remembered the days that followed. The search of Harry, that the news from Snape that Voldemort had taken Harry and sacrificed he in a dark arts ritual. That the public outrage that followed when the news got out, Dumbledore had his suspicions as to how it became public. The outrage had, at lest temporally, given the authorities the guts to stand up to the Deatheaters, a lot of them were captured and sent to Azkaban, but a lot of them, including Voldemort, disappeared. 'The only good thing' thought Dumbledore 'to cone out of it was the fact that, if they worked together people could beat the Deatheaters'. Dumbledore's mind drifted back to the present, back to the letter. It had coursed a bit of a stir when it first turned up, but it was quickly sorted out. The acceptance letters were automatically sent to everyone on the waiting list and as one had remember to take Harry's name off, one was sent to him, but as he was dead there was no one to deliver the letter to, so it was sent back to it sender which Hogwarts. Dumbledore could easily imagine what Harry's time at Hogwarts would have been like, had he lived. Dumbledore chuckle, if Harry had been anything like he's father, he do not need to imagine it, he just needed to see what the Weasley twin were up to. A distant boom broke Dumbledore's thoughts, he sighed, he probably did need to see what the Weasley twin were up. He put the letter away and left his office. As he did so he smiled remembering, when the letter first arrived some of the staff thought it was an omen until the truth about the letter was found out. Dumbledore was not one of them, but unknown to him or to the members of staff who did, the letter was an omen Harry Potter was coming to Hogwarts and his time there would not be anything like Dumbledore's imaginings.
