Harry Potter and the Legend of Gryffindor By: Scarlet Angel Kaylie Chapter 1: The Boy Who Lived

OK first I would like to say this is my very first shot at writing a Harry Potter story so sorry if it's horrible.I usually write Digimon or Original. Anyways.

I support Harry/Hermione & Ron/Lavender so those couples will be in this story a bit.

Summary: What if Harry haven't been with his parents when Voldemort came to kill him but with his aunt and uncle? OO well this is my story of what would have happened in that position.

Also I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters.they belong to the talented JK Rowling.who's my idol! SHE IS THE QUEEN OF FANTASY!

Well on with the fic, oh yeah and Petunia is actually NICE in here

One night in number 4 privet drive a man named Vernon Dursley sat reading the paper with his year old son Dudley in his arms.or sorta reading it.

He kept looking over the top of it to see his wide Petunia playing with her year old nephew Harry Potter.

His mother and Petunia were sisters.when they were little they hated each other but now they were like best friends.

Lily Potter and her husband James Potter went on a vacation for a few weeks so Petunia offered to watch Harry for a few weeks.

It was infact October. 31st, 1990.the Halloween that would change The Dursley's AND the Potter's lives forever.

A dark shadowy figure walked silently to number 4 Privet Drive.

He wore a black cloak, which totally covered him.

All the birds and small animals ran away from him.all but one gold and red bird, which the man didn't see.

James and Lily Potter.Harry's parents KNEW this man was after them.that was the reason they left.

But it's not like they didn't care for the young boy.they thought he'd be safe with his normal aunt and uncle.but they were wrong.

They decided to make a secret keeper for Harry.at first they thought of using Sirus Black.James's best friend but Sirus asked them to change to a small weak wizard named Peter Pettigrew.

Little did they know but Peter was a traitor.he worked for this wizard. This evil wizard who many feared to say his name.

Some called him He-who-must-not-be-named, others called him You-know-who, and some called him The Dark Lord.but his real name was one that very few people said.

Voldemort.

The only ones who said his name were Albus Dumbledore, Sirus Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter and Lily Potter.

The man got to the door of number 4 Privet Drive and.

There was a sound of wood cracking and the door plus part of the wall shattered instantly.

Petunia screamed and picked up both Harry and Dudley.

Vernon ran to look at what happened only to get struck down by a beam of green light and fell to the ground.dead.

Petunia screamed again and started to run.

She eventually tripped and the cloaked figure walked up to her and said, "You tried you foolish Muggle.but I still got you all in the end."

She blocked Dudley and Harry as the man yelled something she didn't know, then there was lot of green light and she was dead like her husband.

He turned to the 2 one year olds.he didn't care about the Muggle.he just wanted to kill Harry.

He lifted his wand and mumbled the same curse again. Once again there was a lot of green light but something he didn't think would happen did.he felt terrible pain as the curse bounced off Harry and onto him...

A large man walked trough the rubble, which was once the Dursley's house.

He saw a fat stubby blond boy and a little blacked haired boy.but what caught his eye was the thin red lightening bolt scar on his forehead.

"The curse must have." He stopped talking, picked the two boys up and walked away.

A young red haired woman with bright emerald green eyes and a young man with brown eyes waiting in an old man's office.

This old man was none other then Albus Dumbledore.

The young man and woman were James and Lily Potter.

They waited to see if their son had lived.

Suddenly the door to the circular office burst open and the tall man with wild black hair came in and said, "I got both of em."

Lily gave a happy shout and pulled Harry into her arms well saying, "THANK YOU HAGRID!"

"What 'bout 'im?" Hagrid asked with a slight movement towards Dudley.

Dumbledore though for a minute then said, "James, Lily, could you take him and teach him the use of magic?"

Lily and James glanced at each other then nodded their heads and James took Dudley into his arms.

"Iye, there's been one other thing I've been meanin' ter ask yo' Professor," Hagrid said suddenly.

"Yes Hagrid?"

"What's with the scar on 'Arry's head sir?"

The old wizard sighed and said, "That's the one of the many things that sets him apart from every other wizard I'm afraid.that's where the Death Curse hit him."

Lily gasped and said, "Voldemort, is he?"

"Dead? No, but gone for now," Dumbledore said with a sigh.

He then looked at the young black haired boy and said, "Good luck in your new life Harry Potter."

So how was that? Good? Bad? Terrible? Well please review.
