Once upon a time, there was a king named James who ruled a large and mighty kingdom. And yet, he was sad for he was growing old and had no child to inherit the throne. Then, happily, a son was born… A prince. And he was given the name Harry. Kings and Queens came from all around to offer their gifts to the child. Among them was the widow Eileen Prince and her young son, Prince Severus. As they watched the young prince present their gift to the baby James and Eileen happened upon the same idea. Severus and Harry would be brought together each summer in hopes that they would fall in love and join their kingdoms forever.

But unknown to all was another plan, that of the evil wizard,Lucius Malfoy. Harry's birth was of little concern to him, for he was preparing to take King James' kingdom by means of the Dark Arts. For many months he gathered his strength and brewed potions to increase his magic. However, his plot was discovered and on the eve of his assault, King James attacked with his army. Lucius' wand was broken and his powers were plunged into darkness.

Despite calls for his death, the wizard was only banished. The guards dragged him to the edge of the kingdom, unlocked the shackles on Lucius' wrists, and pushed him to the ground.

"Go." James commanded, pointing his finger into the night. "And never return."

Lucius snarled.

'I'm not done with you yet, James! One day I will be back and then everything you own, everything you love will be mine!' With that Lucius turned on his heel and stalked away into the fog.
