Like a Dream Come True Prologue

A/N: Hello readers, this is my very first story. So please review and tell me anything that you think I should improve on. Thanks and Enjoy!

I have come to know the famous Harry Potter since I was very young.

When I was three years old, I had got to know him from Mum. "Mummy, Mummy, tell me a story about a famous person please," I squeaked. Mum told me that she would for my bedtime story. At the end of that day, when lights went out, Mum told the story in her reassuringly quiet voice.

"There is a wizard boy, not too much older than you, out there. When he was only one year old, he had amazingly escaped from the most feared Dark wizard that we know – You-Know-Who" I gasped in fright. "Yes, Colin, this boy had escaped from You-Know-Who with nothing more than a scar-" I pictured a blood-stained slash on his hand, it must have been very painful "-and You-Know-Who disappeared. This boy's name was Harry Potter."

From that night, Harry Potter had become my idol. I imagined him using 'super magic' to defeat You-Know-Who and asked Mum and Dad a lot of question about Harry Potter years after I first heard the story. When my younger brother Dennis was born I told him the story just as Mummy had told me, and he enjoyed it as well.

As I dreamed about Harry Potter, time flashed by. In no time I had received my letter from Hogwarts. "Oh!" I had whined to Mum and Dad, "But I don't want to go to school!" They looked at each, smiled, then looked back at me. "Colin," Dad said, "would you want to go if I told you that Harry Potter was at Hogwarts as well?"

"Really? Is He?"

"Of course, and he had defeated the Dark Lord once more!" Mum replied, smiling.

I bounded up to my room, yelling my head off with joy. I can finally get to see Harry Potter now! Dennis stopped me halfway up the stairs. "What are you yelling about?" he demanded.

"I'm going to Hogwarts and Harry Potter's there as well!" I said, still charged with joy "I mean, after all those heroic things he had done, anyone would be leaping with joy to see him!"

At those words, Dennis's eyes lit up as well. "Wow, you're so lucky! Maybe you can even get to make friend with him too!" He said, eyes full of jealousy. I told him that he will also be coming to Hogwarts and seeing Harry in a few years, and bounded past him into my room, feeling even happier now at the thought that I might actually get to be friends with the famous Harry Potter.

What I didn't know was, me and Harry would get far beyond the realms of being just normal friends…
