A young boy is weeding a guarden in front of a 2-story house. He looks no older than 4 or 5. He is quite thin, as if he hasn't had a decent meal in weeks. As he wipes his brow because of the heat we see an enflamed scar shaped like a lightning bolt
Yes this young boy is Harry Potter. He about whom stories are being told right at this very moment. Although no one in the wizarding world knows just what Harry's life is really like
Today is a special day. In another time, Harry would finish with the guarden. Enter the house at #4 Privet DR. Cook breakfast for his family. Get a strange letter that no one will allow him to read. Be chased half way across the British Isles. Then finally learn he is magical. However this is not that time and place
As Harry straitons, and starts walking toward the house, a bright flash of light causes him to drop to the ground
Harry blinks his eyes a few times before looking up. Because of his overweight cousin Harry's glasses make it hard to see, but even Harry can't miss the figure standing in front of the house
She is dressed all in red. She has a crown of what looks like fire sitting on her head. On her left arm hangs a boomerang. She holds a spear in her right hand, but it is pointed down at the ground. She also has a very large ring on the hand with the spear
The young woman looks around, and upon seeing Harry gives him a soft smile. "Well met Mr. Potter
Harry for his part was scared. His relatives had told him repeatedly not to talk to anyone else, or he would receive a beating that would probably kill him. However, this person had just appeared, had smiled at him, and had called him by name. So understandably he didn't know what to do
The young woman watched Harry for a minute before nodding. "I understand" she said gently. "The time has come for you to make your own decision. I have the power to take you away from this place, but if I do you will be locked into a prophecy that will not allow you to return to those who would give you the love you deserve for years."
Harry looked puzzled. "But I'm nothing special. Why would you do this?"
The woman smiled at him. "Because you are special Harry. You were born to James and Lilly Potter on July 31st 1980. Your birth set into motion a prophecy that had been spoken only 4 months earlier. This prophecy says you will be the 1 to vanquish a dark lord. All though it does not name this dark lord. This prophecy also says you will have a power this dark lord doesn't know about
Fifteen months after you were born a mad man came to your house, killed your parents, and tried to kill you. Most think you destroyed him, but we of the elementals know he will be back. However it is unknown if this mad man is the dark lord of the prophecy.
If you wish to remain here that is your right. You will still learn about the world your parents were apart of, but it will take you 7 years before the mad man who killed your parents is delt with. And as I said it is unknown if he is the dark lord you will need to face
On the other hand if you come with me I promise you will deal with the madman who killed your parents wen you are 15 years old, and by then we will also know who you have been prophecied to vanquish
So what do you say"? Will you come with me, or do you wish to stay here?"
Harry sat down in the grass and thought over what the nice lady had told him. On 1 hand he could stay here and follow what ever path had been originally laid out for him. On the other hand he could leave his vile relatives behind and finish his destiny earlier It only took him 2 minutes to decide. "I'll go with you miss."
The woman smiled at Harry again. "My name is Heart, the elemental master of fire" Heart said holding out a hand. "Take my hand and we will travel to where your training will begin."
As Harry stood and took Heart's hand his uncle Vernin charged out the front door. "Hay now! What do you think you are doing boy? Leave the nice lady, and get back in the house!"
Harry shrunk in on himself, and was about to follow his uncle's order until Heart pulled him closer to her
"You and your family are a right piece of work Dursley. If you had treated your nephew with any kind of decency you all would now be counted among the richest families in Briton. However, since you would rather spoil your brat of a son, along with yourselves we will be giving you nothing. Fair well."
With that Heart and Harry Potter disappeared with a clap of thunder. It would be years before anyone saw Harry again

An: and that is the end of this first chapter of this rewrite. I know it's short, but I couldn't add anything else to this prologue. Hopefully the rest of the chapters will be longer than this. As always, I look forward to hearing what you all think in either a pm or a review. Thankfully this time I have the story planned out in my head, so I should be able to get this 1 out regularly. Well, that's all for this wee, and I will see you all next time
