Harry Potter reread the letter in his hand for the third time in a row. It was so not possible. This could not be happening to him… everything always happened to him.

Dear Harry,

Oh dear. This may come as a shock to you, but please bear with me. This is a delicate situation, which I had hoped to discuss with you, but if you are reading this, it means that I did not.

Harry, I need you to know that we love you, have always loved you, and will always love you. You see, dear Harry, when you're father and I decided to get married and have a baby, we knew that Voldemort would eventually come after you, so we thought to give you the advantage. Unfortunately the advantage does not appear until your 17th year.

No… I am getting ahead of myself. As you probably know, I am very smart at potions making and what muggles call chemistry and biology. What you and everyone else did know was that your father was also a genius.

We decided to… make improvements on our baby… that would be you. To put it simply, we stole DNA from multiple people and combined the best assets and put them into you while you were still in the womb. Since I am no longer alive, I do not know exactly what the side effects are and what will happen. Time will tell. I will tell you the names of the people used to help improve you so that you can find out what of theirs you have, but that does not mean that they know. In fact, none of them know. We, your father and I, stole small samples that would not be missed and we got the rest from the ministry hospital, so there was no evidence. Here they come. Take a deep breathe.

You will notice small changes in your appearance once your birthday starts, and there might even be a small discomfort. Don't worry about it, and have a 17th Happy Birthday Harry.

Love always,
