Gee, I don't know about this one. Depending on the reaction I get for the
prologue, I might continue it. MIGHT. Like I said, I don't know. It's an
idea I had AGES ago, and it keeps popping up every now and again. I had to
give in.

Prologue
The name my biological father and I came up with for me to go by is Sylvan Alexis Diazo.
At age sixteen I live almost alone in the Muggle world, because I refuse to go back to the wizarding world. Not now that I know the truth.
My friends don't even know that I'm alive, and my brother tells me quite a few have branded me a traitor, saying that I've joined Voldemort.
It disgusts me that they could be so untrustworthy, and I wonder which of them will be the first to turn on the Light as Peter Pettigrew once did.
My mother was married to one man for the protection of everyone she loved, but was in love with another. That particular man married another woman not long after, a marriage resulting in my half brother.
My father, believing there wasn't any point resisting Voldemort when my mother appeared to have left him, became a Death Eater and he still is.
I convinced him to become a spy, and he passes information to Dumbledore through Severus Snape that the Light Side wouldn't acquire otherwise.
Dumbledore, the old fool, thought it a good idea to keep my true identity from me; he was obviously hoping to keep me straying into the Dark Arts.
It would have been a remarkable plan, but even when I had found out I didn't have the slightest inclination towards the Dark Arts.
And knowing that I actually had family, but had never been able to meet them (at least not on friendly terms), really annoyed me when I considered my life beforehand.
The name on my true birth certificate is Sylvan Alexis Malfoy. The 'Diazo' in my false name is the maiden name of my stepmother Narcissa's own mother, who was a Muggle Born witch.
Oddly enough, I get along rather well with my half brother Draco, who none the less finds it necessary to turn my hair purple every time he sees me. It's a private joke, stemming from the end of fifth year when I did the same to him.
I don't find it funny at all and the last time he did it I turned him into a ferret and bounced him around the Manor. Sadly, Father was quite annoyed that I was copying someone else's idea, and made me turn him into a weasel instead and make him run around on the ceiling.
Dumbledore is quite worried, as is the rest of the wizarding world. Their precious 'Boy-Who-Lived' is now the 'Boy-Who-Nicked-Off'. They don't see it that way; they all want to think that the 'Golden Boy' was kidnapped, not having left of his own free will.
Narcissa thinks that it's stupid of them to expect a fifteen-year-old boy to defeat Voldemort. Father and I had to tell her that 'storming up to the school and giving Dumbledore a good telling off isn't going to help' several times before she would listen.
The location of Harry Potter is at the moment being kept secret from everyone but a few select people.
Those people are Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, William O'Donnell, Daniel Wilson, and Remus Lupin.
And me, of course. One can't very well expect Harry Potter to not know where he is himself, can one?
Now, please review and tell me whether or not to bother continuing.
