First of all, this is my first story I have ever wrote and published. This story is my own fantasy with a little influence of other great stories of the Harry Potter universe. But to be clear, I like constructive critics very much because it shows me that someone is truly interested in the story, flames will be completely ignored.

So I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had while I was writing it.

Potter Hideout

"Lilly, it`s him! Run!" shouted James, as the door to their safe house was blasted open. As fast as she could she grabbed her twin boys and rushed upstairs to find a way out, while praying that James will survive somehow. "Out of my way, you fool!" was the only thing Lord Voldemort spitted. "Never" shouted James and let a barraging of spells lose. Voldemort deflected them all easily, but soon noticed they weren´t meant to harm him, they only should buy time for the mudblood and the potter spawns. "I don´t have time for your foolishness!" and with a harsh movement of his wand he sent James Potter flying against a wall and redeemed him unconscious. "Now the reasons why I am here" he said with a sinister voice while ascending the stairs to the hideout of Lilly Potter and her twins. Meanwhile Lilly has closed herself inside the twins' room and used every protection charm or spell she knew to enforce the door until help will arrive. Then she heard how a spell hit the door and then another one and so one and with every spell the doors shields started to shatter. While this was happening one of the boys started to cry, "shhh Charly, my little boy everything is going to be okay" tried Lily to calm down the younger one of the twins. In this moment she noticed once again how different her twins are, Charly for example had brown hair and brown eyes and was looking like an direct mix between her and James, Harry on the other side had black hair and was overall looking like a carbon copy of James with only one exception, he had her perfect green eyes. But their differences didn´t stay by appearance, while Charly was always babbling and moving around, Harry was the complete different he was most of the time silent and always watching his surroundings.

But with a loud noise of breaking wood she was brought back to reality, a reality that could easily become very dark for her. "Out of the way mudblood"! "No, take me, but not my boys" Lily screamed, but it was no use, with one swift wand move he send her crashing against a wall, were she stayed lying. "Now which of you brats should die by my hands first" while scanning both boys to find out one who he should use his favorite of the three unforgiveable first, he saw something very intriguing, the brown haired boy was crying now, while the green one was simple starring at him, something which he didn´t like at all. "So be it, you will die first!" "Avakadbra" and with that the green light shot out of his wand and headed directly for Harry, but the something happened Voldemort could have never foreseen, the spell bounced off and suddenly flied back to him. To dumb stroked by what was happening he couldn't react in time and was hit straight in the chest. And with that a piece of his souls broke was trying desperately to survive and its only option was to lace itself on a living magical being and it chose the boy who was responsible for all that as its new host. Also the process marked him with a scar in the shape of lightning, but also his twin brother got a scar through the whole mess, a circle on his inner palm.

Shortly after that Albus Dumbledore arrived with the Order of Phoenix to find everything in a complete mess, but luck was on their side for the first time in a long while, both James and Lily survived the tragic night and also both potter boys. While he was inspecting the two boys, Lily was bombing him with hundreds of questions about the wellbeing of her boys. After a short while and ensuring Lily both boys were fine Albus called both parents to him, to declare something which will set the fate in moving on a way no one could have ever imagined. "Charlie is the one who vanished the dark lord; he is the child of prophecy!"

Potter Manor -four years later-

Since Harry can remember the Potter family was only his mother, his father and his twin brother, but he was never really a part of it. One could argue the problem was that Harry was to calm and composed and so didn´t fit in a family which was proud to inherit its wildness from Gryffindor himself. But the true reason was his family didn´t care very much about him, it didn´t matter what he did, when Charly it did his parents adored him for it and ignored Harry almost completely. Also while he was rarely hugged or carried, it was the totally opposite with his brother, whenever he demands it he was carried, he always got what he wanted, while Harry was almost forgotten by them from to time to time. But the saddest thing he had to witness was his last birthday, while his brother was almost drowned in presents from his parents and "friends" of the family, he got only a few small things, but that wasn´t what hurt him so much, it was more that his parents seemed to have completely forgotten about him. The only ones who thought one him were his godfather Sirius and one of his father's best friends Remus.

But his life should soon make another turn, which may change everything. Today was one of Dumbledore's visits to check on ´The Boy Who Lives´ and to discuss some important things with the Potters.

"Hello headmaster, how are you today? Can we offer you something to drink?" asked a happy James Potter. "No thank you, James. Also congratulations on your Promotion to Head Aurora!" "Thank you, you are certainly searching for Charly do you; he is in his room playing with the toys you brought him last time." "Then I will have a look at our little wonder boy" and with that he made his way to the boy´s room, while still planning how to tell the Potters his plans for Harry.

After checking on Charly, we find Dumbledore with both adults Potter sitting in the Dining hall. "So what was the important thing you wanted to discuss with us, headmaster?" asked Lilly. After a short break the headmaster began." I believe it would be the best for everyone to separate Harry from Charlie". "But why" asked a little troubled Lilly and also James seemed a little bit surprised by Dumbledore´s idea, they may have given Harry not so much love as they had given Charlie, but they still loved him, after all he was their son." I know it sounds a little bit harsh, but you have to see, Harry doesn´t have the same potential as Charlie has. Also, I am sure Harry would become jealous of Charlie because of all the attention he will get and from jealousy hate is not so far away. Lilly you should know the best how jealousy can destroy a siblings relationship." After that Lilly was silent for a moment and was looking at her hands, while she thought about her sister who hates her and how hard it is for her to accept that. "If we consider your idea, to whom should we give Harry?" asked a little unsure James, he didn´t want to send his firstborn away, but he also didn´t want that Harry hates Charlie. After that Dumbledore was smirking inside, he has them where he wants them, a little push and everything will be in order, after all the greater good stands above the lives of many. He gave them a little time to get used to the idea, then he brought the final part down. "I would advise you to give little Harry to Lilly´s sister Petunia." As he expected Lilly jumped of her seat and was almost screaming "Are you crazy, yourself said a moment ago how my sister hates everything related to me! Why should I send one of my sons to her?" "Calm down, Lilly. I have my reasons for that, it would be best for Harry to be raised outside the magical world, after all as long as he stays her he would always be compared to his brother." Said Dumbledore in his grandfatherly voice. "But who makes sure that he is protected? Death Eaters may try something out of revenge" Lily kept asking. "Don't worry I know a squibt who would gladly help watching Harry out of a distant, also I will install some wards around the house so he is very safe. After a little bit more arguing James and Lilly agreed that such course of action would be the best for all of them. "When will you send him there?" asked James who started to like the Idea a little bit, while he loved Harry as a son he was never able to truly bond with him and so he started to think the idea was the best for him and them. "Until tomorrow I will have arranged for everything.." "So soon?" asked a sad Lilly, she may accepted the idea and the reasoning behind it but she didn't like it one bit. "It is only for the best Lilly." With that he said goodbye and left, after all there many things to prepare for.

On the next day a world broke down for Harry, it began at first a little strange for him; while his little brother was send to play with his toys his father and mother called for him, unsure what to think of it he came to his father's studies. Secretly he hoped that his parents want to spend some time with him, but in the moment he went through the door, he noticed immedicably that something was not right. First there was Dumbledore sitting with his parents, a man who never showed any great interest in him, the next thing was that neither his father nor mother looked much drilled. "Come in Harry" invited him James. "Hello Dad, Mum, Mister Dumbledore. What can I do for you?" "Harry, my boy", Dumbledore started, "as you know your brother is a very important figure in our recent history. A little sad that it has to do with his brother again he answered "Yes, I know. He vanished You Know Who." "Exactly my boy and as such he is in need of special training and needs the undivided attention of both your parents, that's why your parents and I came to the conclusion that the best thing is, not do neglect you, is to let you be raised by your aunt and uncle. What do you think my boy?" To say that Harry was shocked would be a big understatement. His own parents didn´t want to raise him. What did he do wrong? Tears started to fill his eyes, but he hold them back, he has promised himself not to cry. "Mum, Dad do you think this is really best thing to do?" asked Harry afraid about their answer. While Lilly was looking everywhere but not him, James answer was enough for him, "Harry you have to see this from our point, Charly is the hope of the wizard world, I am sorry but Dumbledore is right." And with that something in Harry shattered. He lowered his head and said "Oke when you think it's the best for me." "See James I told you he will understand, now come here Harry say goodbye to your parents and we will be on our way." After an awkward goodbye which was a simple short hug from his mother, who didn´t said even once something and an equally awkward hug from his father he took Dumbeldores hand and Apparate to his new home with the Drusleys.

Privet Drive 4 -one year later-

"Boy, if you take any longer with the dinner you will regret it dearly!" shouted an angry Vernon from the dining room. "I am on my way" was the only answer of a little boy, with a pair of old worn out glasses, of maybe five years. After he had put the heavy pans down, Vernon ordered him to clean the kitchen and after he had cleaned the table, he can take himself a little bit bread and a glass of water. The little boy, who our little Harry is, immediately began to clean up the kitchen. Then while he was collecting the dishes from the table, his cousin of a whale, made him trip and with a loud crash five of the plates crashed on the ground. „Boy, how dare you destroy our fine dishes?" "It was an accident, I didn´t meant to." Tried Harry to defend himself, but it was to no use, he knows that his aunt and uncle hate him very much and that they always searching for a reasons to punish him. Normally it meant no food for a day, or to be looked in his cupboard for some days, but today was a very bad day for Harry because Vernon had a very bad day and was now using poor Harry as his valve for his stress. With a swift move he had is belt in the hand and forced Harry to kneel with his back to him. "For each destroyed plate you will get 3 whips, which means 15 in total!" While Vernon prepared the first of many, neither is aunt or his cousin tried to stop him. N it was even the opposite, while his cousin looked bored and went up to his room; his aunt had a gleam in her eyes, which caused Harries back to shudder. And so his torture began. While he tried to endure it, he tried to shed no tear because he didn´t want to give them the pleasure of seeing him in pain. After the 15 slash was over, Vernon shouted to him to disappear under his cupboard and that he expect a good breakfast tomorrow. And so another day in Harry personal hell went by.

But no one seemed to notice the black dog watching the whole scene while he started darkly to growl. Soon Harry everything will change, was the only thought of black dog before it disappeared.
