Chapter 1:
September 1st, 1989
Harrison's POV
It's now 10:00am, other students like me are waiting on the docks somewhere in Sydney, Australia for transportation to take us to Thornblake Acadamy of Enchantments and Magic. The greatest wizarding school in Australia, if not the whole wizarding world. Now in other schools, like Hogwarts, you have to take a train to school, but what's so magical about that? I didn't know how we would get to Thornblake, but I'm sure that it's much more special than taking a train. Just as I was getting impatient, a large white fog came over the docks and a black ship (A/N: Just imagine Blackbeard's ship from the movie "Pan", which is also not mine!) came out of the fog and turned to its starboard side to the docks, it took every bit of my will to not drop my jaw in fascination, because I knew that Mum and Dad were looking at me for some sort of reaction. When I peer into the ship, I see a man swishing a wand and almost immediately, a flight of stairs appeared from the top deck of the ship to the foot of the dock. Once the stairs was appeared, a loud voice bellowed "All Aboard!" at once the older students said quick goodbyes to their families and walked up the stairs to the ship. I turned to my parents, they both kneel down and I see mum with tears in her eyes. Mum gives me a bone-crushing hug and says sadly "Goodbye my little boy." I felt a little annoyed at being called a little boy, but understood that my mother just cares for me. Dad just ruffles my carefully neat jet black hair and says "See you at school son." Dad was the charms teacher at Thornblake, so I would see him at the welcoming feast. I hug both my parents, and walk up the stairs to the ship.
Once I climbed on the top deck of the ship, I look around to get a better look at everything. I noticed that among the many black sails, there was this big white one that was tied up. I turn my attention to the flag which held the crest of Thornblake, which was the letter t surrounded by four magical creatures, which I can only assume that they are the house symbols. I stayed on deck long enough when I heard the ship groan, the sound of a sail flapping open calls my attention as I see the white sail spread out at the bow of the ship. I recognized that the sail looked like it was made from feathers. One of the upper years calls out "Hold on to something!" as soon as he says this, the ship lifts off the sea and into the clouds. I thought to myself, this is way better that a train. While the outside of the ship looked enormous, the inside was even bigger, one of the older students were guiding me and the younger students at the bottom deck. It felt like we had to walk a long way down the several flight of stairs that led to the first year deck. When we finally entered the first year deck, there were hammocks that were stringed up all over. The older boy that guided us down there turned to us. "You'll get better standards through the next six years." He said apologetically and then says "It'll take some time to get to the academy, so you best get some shut eye." He then turns to go to his own year deck. I went ahead and picked the hammock closest to the door. When I climb up to the hammock, I start to dream of how my led to this moment.

Godric's Hollow
(An hour after Voldemort's attack)
In Godric's Hollow lies the remains of Potter cottage, just outside of the house, three small pops are heard. Three men, two of them in their mid-twenties and the third being an elderly man look at the house in concern when they see the front door broken down. The old man barley glances at the other two men when he says "Wands out." He then takes out his wand and walks toward the entrance of the house, barley noticing the other two take out their wands and walk with him. When the three men enter the house, they see the aftermath of the fight between James and Voldemort. Their eyes search around quickly for a body, the two men spot James and run towards him, hoping that he isn't dead. While the two men try to wake up James, the old man walks up the stairs cautiously. He walks down the hallway and enters the room where Voldemort blew the down, He sees an unconscious lily and three year-old Harry, he tries to wake up Lily to find out what happened. "Enervate." He waves his wand over Lily as he says the spell. Lily bolts up and shouts "Aaron" She looks around the room for Voldemort, and her eyes look to the old man. "Albus?" She said, recognizing the man. Albus Dumbledore helps her up to her feet, and calmly askes "Lily, my dear what happened?" She then recalls her frightening experience, when she finished the cry of a baby was heard. Lily and Albus turn their attention to the baby in the crib. Meanwhile, downstairs with the two men trying to wake up James. When the men tried everything, even slapping James in the face, they finally had enough and with a flick of shaggy brown haired man's wand "Enervate." He said, James weakly opens his eyes and sees the two figure of his best friends. "Remus, Sirius!" He momentarily forgets his surroundings and then remembers the events that unfolded an hour ago. He stands up and bolts up the stairs "Lily, Harry!" The three men enter Aaron's room and sees Albus Dumbledore pick up Aaron, and Lily standing to the side looking quite shaken. James goes to his wife and hugs her, relived that she is alright. Albus looks carefully at the baby he is holding. "Where is that mark that he is supposed to bear" He thinks to himself. He at the child's forehead and spots a still bleeding scar remarkably shaped like a lightning bolt. He smiles, blue eyes twinkling brightling, he turns to Lily and James. "Congratulations James and Lily, I give you Aaron Sirius potter…The Boy Who lived!" James, Lily, Sirius, and Remus have huge smiles on their faces, feeling happy that Aaron has the defeated the Dark Lord. Albus has a different smile on his face, more like a mischievous one, but no one noticed. His plan was coming into place. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Harry, "Well, can't have you here messing up my plans, I'll need to find another place for you." He thinks to himself. He turns to lily and James "James, Lily, while Aaron is the boy who lived, he can't any distractions, that also means getting rid of Harry." James and Lily look in shock and anger that their former headmaster would think of such a thing. Albus quickly says "For Harry's safety and for Aaron's best interests." James and Lily look to their unconscious three year-old son and then to Aaron. They turn to the headmaster their answer. "Aright." They both say. Albus then smiles again, the potter's see the twinkle in his eyes, but not the evil intentions behind them.
James, Lily, and Albus come to an agreement that Albus will take the Harry to a place that Lily and James don't know for his 'safety', where they will wait eight years to take him back, for he will have his Hogwarts letter. Until, then they take care and train Aaron to be the boy who lived. Albus takes the still unconscious boy and apparates to 4 Private Drive, Little Whinging, where Lily sister, Petunia lives with her family. Dumbledore placed a three year-old Harry on the Dursley's doormat with a letter full of lies and with an evil smirk, he says "Good Luck, Harry Potter." With that, he apparates with a small pop and leaves Harry alone on a cold October night.
It wasn't until morning that young Harry woke up by a screech by Petunia Dursley. It took almost an hour for Petunia and her husband Vernon to decide what to do with Harry. "It was a three hour drive to St. Mary's Orphanage, but it will be worth to get that freaky boy out of my house, screw Lily, it was her fault she got herself killed, it doesn't mean I need to take care of her kid" Petunia thought. They dragged a whimpering Harry to the orphanage's door, knocked two times then ran back to the car and drove away.
St. Mary's Orphanage
August 10, 1982
"It was almost a year since I was abandoned. It was my birthday today, but I had no one to celebrate it with, the loud lady and fat man that brought me here left a letter saying that my family was killed, I don't remember much about that night, only my mother getting blasted against the wall and green light hitting my brother and a loud scream. So I assumed that the letter was true. I know I've had almost a year to get over it, but I don't think I'll ever stop missing them my father, mother, and little brother. I think only thing I'll ever want for my birthday, is a family. Harry had no idea how much his dream will come true.
A/N: Hey guys, ValentineKnight here, hoped you liked this chapter much better than the other one, yeah so to the topic at hand, I did change a few things such as Harry's birthday, him going to an orphanage, a lot of things. Also, to those who will ask how the ship flies, I got from once upon a time (Which I do NOT claim!), Hook's ship flies from the horse Pegasus's feathers, Now the original plan was to have this chapter longer, but due to the already long length and the fact I might use this computer as a pillow, this chapter will have a part two and that chapter with be posted this weekend. But yeah, that's it, and also make sure to review, and if you do remember, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism! Please. Til next time, ValentineKnight signing off (Always wanted to say that, LOL!)
