Avoiding Fate: Prologue

In the boring late night streets of Little Whinging on a cold November day, where everything looked the same, there was one house on the street which was less than normal.

"Are we just going to leave him here Albus?"

"We must, they are his only family and it will also help keep his head out of the limelight."

At least that was what Albus Dumbledore said, but inside his mind he was carefully laying out his plans for the boy.

"But those muggles are the worst!" "Don't worry Minerva, I am sure they will treat Harry the best they can."

At that very moment a motorcycle appeared. It was Hagrid, gatekeeper to Hogwarts, a small bundle in his arms. Inky black hair with a dainty button nose, heart shaped lips tinted crimson red, the most striking detail were his eyes. His eyes were a glowing green framed by long dark eyelashes.

Hagrid reluctantly put Harry down on the doorstep with but a basket, a small blanket, and a letter describing his situation to his new...family. Dumbledore and company finally arrived back to Hogwarts, Albus carefully planned out what his weapon for war would do for him.

Little did Dumbledore know was that he would need ten years to realize his mistake.
