Disclaimer: I only own Ryan Custos, sadly.

Harry felt his feet hit the ground and he opened his eyes. Looking around he noticed that he was in the clearing of a woods. He heard footsteps coming toward him and he raised his wand quickly pointing at the figure coming towards him. "Put that away boy." The man said. This man looked to be about 40 and in very good shape, with brown hair and brown eyes. However Harry did not move. "Potter, Potter, Potter, I see that you are no different than your forefathers. None of you have been trusting. You would think that at least one would be trusting. What it your name boy?"

"Harry, Harry Potter." Harry said his wand still pointing at the man.

"Ah well Harry it is nice to meet you." He said sticking out his hand, when Harry did not speak he retracted it. "Your James and Lily's son are you not?" The man asked.

"Yes sir," Harry said his wand lowering a bit.

"Yes you look exactly like James except for Lily's eyes. However, I'm sure you hear that all the time. Ahh yes Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus, some of the brightest I've ever had. Anyways, I'm rambling, who do you believe will be your two friends Harry?"

"Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, sir." Harry let his wand drop. This must be my family guardian.

"Quite right you are Harry! I am your family guardian. It usually takes people a lot longer to trust me. My name is Ryan Custos. You can call me Ryan. Your father and his friends had me hanging by my ankle as soon as they heard something in the woods. Yes I am a legilimis but I won't be teaching it to you because he is much better." Ryan said.

Harry opened his mouth to ask who "he" was, how ever Ryan interrupted him. "Ahh, here come your friends." Ryan said stepping backwards. Then sure enough Ron and Hermione landed in between Harry and Ryan with there backs facing Ryan. Hermione ran forward to Harry and gave him a hug rivaling that of Mrs. Weasley.

"Her-mi-o-ne can't breathe" Harry choked.

"Sorry Harry," Hermione said letting go and stepping back.

"Hey mate." Ron said giving Harry a high five.

"A Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Granger." Ryan said. Hermione and Ron whirled around and drew their wands so fast it almost looked as if they didn't move. "I see that you are like Harry and very quick on the draw.

"Relax guys, this is Ryan Custos, call him Ryan. He is the Potter family guardian." Harry said, which caused Hermione and Ron to drop there wands and stand next to Harry.

" Ah I see the last is on their way now but it will be a little while before they arrive and since their letter has told them everything thing let me tell you some basics. You will be here for four years, and…" Ryan started.

"What! Four years but we have to…"Harry started.

"I know what you have to do. Don't worry, you will be here for four years but because of some complicated magic you will only be gone four hours, and since it is night I believe you are safe. Once again I know what you will have to do and trust me this will help. Ah I see the last has arrived. Mrs. Weasley is it?" Ryan said.
