Prologue – Depression and Shock

Privet Drive

So far the summer had been one of the worst yet for Harry. Toward the end of the school year, during one of the O.W.L exams Voldemort had sent Harry a vision of his godfather being tortured. After being lied to by the House Elf Kreacher, Harry and a small group of the D.A. headed off to the Department of Mysteries. A Pitched battle ensued during which the return of Voldemort was finally proved to the ministry. This came at a terrible price however, the death of Sirius Black. That evening Harry finally found out the reason why Voldemort had chosen to come after, and try to kill Harry on multiple occasions. Just before Harry's birth a prophecy had been made, that said that he would be the one to kill Voldemort or die trying. It also stated that he would have 'power that the Dark Lord knows not'.

Since his return to Privet Drive Harry had spent most of his time hiding in his room, not wanting to deal with his aunt and uncle. He had received a letter that was clearly from Professor Dumbledore, but he had still not opened it. Eventually he decided to open the letter, and end the suspense.

Kent Farm, Smallville

Martha Kent was sitting at the breakfast table reading a letter that had just arrived, asking them if they would be willing to host an exchange student for the school year. There was a reason that it had been this particular student, he had just lost someone close to him and needed time and space to recover. Towards the end of the letter there were a few details about the student, and it also mentioned that there was a photo included in the letter. As Martha drew out the picture, she gave a slight scream. At the same instant Jonathon Kent entered the room and asked, "What's the matter?" as he saw the shocked expression on his wife's face. All Martha could do was indicate the photo and letter that was lying on the table. Noticing the photo Jonathon said "That's Clark, isn't it?"

The only response Martha could give was a shake of the head. On the table was a picture of a boy with messy raven hair, emerald green eyes, and a lightning bolt scar…..

Review….. Please

This fic was inspired by Water Mage's fic 'Startling Discoveries'. Although it is not evident just yet, and it may not be for a couple of chapters but I will be playing around with the HP timeline a little. I will explain how when it is actually evident.

Next Chapter :- Harry meets Lex Luthor
