Golden Boy.

That what most people though Harry Potter, Boy-who-lived, would become. Dumbledores' 'Golden Boy.' Someone who would do no wrongs and lives up to everyone's exaction's. And why…

For the simple reason that he, as a little one-year-old, did something that no full-grown wizard or witch could do. Defeat the most evil wizard there was. Tom Riddle, or mostly know of as Lord Voldemort; but most magical people called him He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, You-Know-who, or the Dark Lord. Every young child was brought up knowing the tale of the Boy-Who-Lived.

How on Halloween Voldemort came to kill young Harry and his mother and father. Both parents were killed, but for some unknown reason the killing curse backfired when Harry was attacked. Voldemort was no more. Dumbledore then placed young Harry with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Dursley at number four Privet Drive. To grow up away from all the fame and remaining Death Eaters. And when he turned eleven he would go to Hogwarts and learn about the world of magic he was born to.

Of course, nothing goes to plan when it comes to Harry Potter.

When the letters were sent out to people who would become First Years in September, the letter for Mr. Potter came back. Unopened. Word got out fast and searches were started.

Days passed. Still no sign of young Potter. Ms. Dursley told Aurors that Harry Potter, her nephew, the Saviour of the wizardry world was left in an ally on November 1st eleven years ago. No one could ask Mr. Dursley were he left Harry because he mysteriously died at work. The only mark was a small bruise under his pig-like nose. No one was seen doing in or out of his office until around 2pm when his boss wanted to promote him for his good work.

People know that Harry wasn't dead because of a piece of charmed parchment. It changed colour depending on Harry's mood. It was something Lily though up before she went into hiding. It was that piece of parchment that told Dumbledore that the Potters were being attacked.

The parchment was forever changing colour, but was never black; for black would mean death. Lily draw a key that showed all the possible colours the parchment could change and what each colour meant.

Days were slowly becoming months, and still no sign of the Hero of wizards' world-wide.

And to make worst, Voldemort returned. One of his Death Eaters got hold of the Philosopher's Stone, but only got a new, stronger body from it. He was now also looking for young Harry, but for what reasons no one knew. All the while slowly gaining all his former followers and more.

Days later, someone thought dead was found alive and working for the Dark Lord. Peter Pettigrew. The Ministry of Magic put him on trial that day. He told them everything about how he was the Potters secret keeper and betrayed them, how he faked his own death. Sirius Black was sent free, he got a job at the Ministry even though he was getting money for being wrongly accused. Remus Lupin worked at Hogwarts as the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher.

But that didn't help much.

Things were bad. Everyone was getting more and more jumpy, with only one thing on his or her minds:

Where was Harry Potter!

Please review, be nice.
