1986

A battered and bloodied Harry Potter was lying in the cupboard under the stairs trying to avoid his uncle the best he could and praying for someone to come and save him his uncle had beaten him because Harry being the polite, nice boy that he was had been invited to one of the children's birthdays Dudley the bullying little bastard that he was hadn't.

As Harry begged for a rescuer he didn't know how lucky he would be.

Harry was falling off to sleep he heard voices. A man with a loud yet calm voice had walked straight into the Dursley home whilst they where sitting in the living room from what Harry could understand.

"What do you want?" Vernon asked scared which surprised Harry his uncle was never scared of any one yet he seemed really scared of whoever this man was.

"I want Harry" the man said "I know he is here and you are not fit to raise Lily and James' son and you know it now where is he?"

"Your freaky headmaster sent him to us" Vernon said "we didn't want him"

"Then you won't mind giving him to me" the man said "after all Lily and James wouldn't trust you with one of their pets let alone their son"

"Why do you want that spoilt little freak?" Dudley asked "and did you bring me a present?"

"Course I did" the man said but then there was screaming from Petunia and then the screaming stopped and there was no more voices.

"Harry?" the voice said and Harry tried to make noise so the man could hear him but the man ran up the stairs trying to find Harry so Harry banged on the closet door causing the man to swear and rip the door away from the cupboard.

"Harry" the man said and Harry shied away from him when he saw him the man was bigger than any man Harry had ever seen and looked scary and powerful "I am not going to hurt you Harry" the man seemed hurt when he had said that like he didn't want Harry to be scared of him but Vernon had always wanted Harry to be scared of him just like Marge and Petunia did.

"Who are you?" Harry asked looking up at the man with fear on his face

"I am your uncle Harry" the man said "I am Ryan Potter"

"Like Vernon?" Harry asked fearfully

"No" Ryan said calmly yet inside he was wanting to go and hurt Vernon even more even though it wouldn't be possible after he had killed all three Dursleys to protect his godson and nephew "never like Vernon, Harry I am your father's brother I would have been here sooner but I had to be able to look after you but I can now Harry I promise"

"Ok" Harry said and his uncle helped him out of the cupboard with ease and lifted him into his arms

"Do you need anything?" Ryan asked

"No" Harry said "I am ok"

And then they where both gone.

1997

"We need to go to diagon alley today Ry" Harry said looking at his uncle "I know you wanted to do my shopping for me and keep my safe but I have been missing for 12 years and I want to see outside this house"

"Harry it is not like I don't let you see people" Ryan said with a grin "or is it that you want to see Daphne and Blaise again?"

"Shut up Ry" Harry said "I know that you like Mrs Greengrass"

"First of all know I don't" Ryan said "and secondly she is divorced but that isn't the point"

"I know" Harry said

"Now seen as how it is the 31st of august I agree we need to get you a wand I got Marie Zabini to get your books and I got your robes yesterday cause I know your size it is just your wand that you need"

Harry nodded and went to get dressed it had been a trying 12 years for Ryan Potter looking after his nephew James and Ryan where best friends and brothers Ryan had been a groomsman at James' wedding like James had at Ryan's wedding but Ryan's wife Sarah died in the first war she was a mediwitch who had been killed by Lucius Malfoy Ryan had yet to get the blonde prick alone to repay the favour but he knew there was only so much time and gold that Malfoy had to protect himself and when he slipped up Ryan would be there and waiting.

Marie Zabini and Haley Greengrass where two of the few that knew Ryan had Harry with him Marie had been Sarah's sister so they had always been close after the death of Sarah and had cared for him after her death and when her husband left her Ryan had been there for her and Blaise her only daughter. Marie on the other hand had been Ryan's Auror partner when she had joined the Auror force with Ryan, James, Sirius and Lily had joined yet Lily had ended up becoming a mediwitch so James and Sirius paired up and so did Ryan and Marie and again after Sarah died she looked out for her long time friend as well.

With Marie and Haley on the Hogwarts board of governors it was easy to get Harry into the 6th year class the only thing was no one knew what Harry would be like Ryan had trained him in both dark and light magic but Marie and Haley both secretly hoped Harry was nothing like his uncle in that sense as Ryan had been an avenging angel after Sarah died going after every death eater he could get his hands on and successfully doing so every time.

The First of September 1997

"So do as your told" Ryan said "and if you get laid I am the first one you tell right Prongslet?"

"Yes dad" Harry teased but it meant a lot to Ryan he knew he could never replace James and he never wanted to try to but having Harry around meant he got the chance to be a father and that was something he wanted.

No sooner was Harry in a Hogwarts compartment was he attacked by a brown haired and blonde blurs, Daphne Greengrass and Blaise Zabini flew at their friend and hugged him as he lifted them off of the floor. The last 12 years had been good for Harry he was 6'4 in height and weight around 210 pounds in weight he was only slightly lighter and smaller than his uncle. Harry's hair was quite short and dark black as he refused to change one of the few things that connected him to his father when Ryan offered to change it for him.

"Bout time you got on this train Potter" Daphne muttered into his right shoulder and Blaise grunted in agreement on his left.

"You know what Ryan is like" Harry said "when Harry can learn all the spells up to the end of Auror training then I will send him to Hogwarts I mean I know people cannot be trusted but Voldemort is gone"

"So Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts?" a voice said and Harry looked up to see a redhead standing in the doorway.

"What if he has Weasley?" Daphne said

"Well I guess the prophet and Skeeter are right" the redhead sneered "living with his murderer of an uncle meant he would be dark" that was all Harry needed to blast the redhead out of the compartment

"No one" Harry said "talks about my uncle like that you got me asswipe?" even though the redhead was out cold everyone in the near area got the message.
