CHAPTER 3

A five year old Harry Potter was sitting crying room if u can call it a room. You see Harry for as long as he could remember had lived in the cupboard under the stairs. It was his room in his room he only had 3 things first was the blanket that he has always had. And 2 sets of clothing that were way to big on him. And last his glasses that were held together by a piece of tape.

The reason he was crying is because today was his birthday and when he reminded his uncle. His uncle punched him hard in the stomach and kicked him a few times and threw him into the cupboard.

"Why does no one care, what did I do wrong." he said through tears. "I wish someone can take me away from here I wish mommy or daddy can take me away. He continued to cry. After a while his uncle opened the door and let Harry use the bathroom. After he was done he was thrown back into his cupboard. It was dark and he could not see so he turned on his little light. When he opened the light he was surprised to see a folded piece of thick paper on his pillow. Now Harry was only 5 but he taught himself how to read last year because he had nothing else to do. Dudley and his friends would beat up any kids who got near Harry. So everyone stayed away from Harry.

Harry picked up the letter and saw it was addressed.

TO: HARRY J. POTTER

NUMBER 4 PRIVET DRIVE

CUPBOARD UNDER THE STAIRS

Harry slowly opened the paper and say a letter and read as good as a 5 year old can.

Dear Harry,

My name is Merlin. I heard you wishes that u made today. I would like to tell you that I will try to make your wishes come true. I can not at this time. When you are in grave danger yell out load " help me Merlin" and I will come to you aid. Good luck my son and know that ill be looking out for you.

Merlin Father of Magic

The note was short but he now knew that there was someone out there looking out for him. Now being a 5 year old he completely forgot how the letter got there nor did he care. He went to sleep with a smile on his face that night.

Not to far away an old man had a sad smile upon his face. He decided if he could not directly help Harry he would indirectly help Harry. He vanished from view with only a swosh of a cloak. He reappeared in front of a dentist office. He waved his hands over himself and his robes transfigured themselves into an expensive looking suite. He toke out a briefcase full of money that he had gotten from Gringarts (spelling?) earlier and walked in through the front door. He walked up to the front desk and spoke. "Excuse me I would like to speak to Dr. Granger. The young woman looked at him funny and said " I am Dr. Granger." "Ah very good might I have a word with you and your husband please?" asked Merlin. " hold on please ill see if he is available" said Dr. Granger.

She walked through the door and came a moment later followed by a man. " my wife says you would like to speak with us if you would follow me to my office" he then turned around and started walking. Merlin followed.

When they got into the office there was huge desk both Grangers sat behind the desk. "My name is Dan and this is my wife Emma" said Dan Granger. "My name is Merlin Pendragon, and I have a proposition for you , ill will pay for you to move your business to Privet Drive Surrey. I will pay for you new house and moving expense and such matters" said Merlin. " why would you do such a thing?" asked Dan. " because there aren't any dentists offices there" replied Merlin. " we have been looking to move our business to near surrey Dan this would be perfect" said Emma to her husband " ok under the condition that we have a legal contract stating all money we get and use come directly from you" said Dan to Merlin. Merlin put his hands in his pocket and snapped his fingers and such document appeared in his pocket. " I expected you to say that so I took the liberty of getting the document done" said Merlin as he pulled out the document.

After the documents were signed Dan and Emma wanted to have Merlin as there financial backing. Merlin agreed.

A month later the Granger family moved into 23 privet drive and Merlin bought the house next door. Both houses were the largest houses on privet drive. They were more like mansions then houses each 5 stories high not including the basement and attic. The new practice was at least 5 times bigger then there old one and they had room to make it into s surgical practice like they always dreamed of having.

Merlin meet Hermione the day of the opening of the "Granger dental hospital" the little girl like Merlin a lot and called him grandfather Merlin. The week after the opening the practice was so busy that the Grangers had no time to take Hermione to school to register her so Merlin offered to take her. He toke her to the school that Harry went to and registered her in Harry's class. He smirked as she was lead to her new class. He only hoped they would be good friends.
