Aura and Magic

Arc: The Wizard That Became a Huntsman

Prologue

It was just like any other day for the Dursleys when it happened.

As usual they were acting to the world as a perfect family, this time loudly announcing that they were invited to a party for a mall opening. In any other scenario they would go and make nuisances of themselves to all the other guests before being given a 'special' gift in a new and bigger fridge that they had to 'Unfortunately' take home as it was a bit 'bothersome'.

However, something different happened THIS time.

All their usual babysitters were busy, in fact if Vernon had called five minutes earlier they would have found two of them free, but he didn't and now the faced a dilemma. Either they take their nephew with them or they leave him completely alone in their house

"What are we going to do pet?" questioned Vernon "We can't take the boy with us, He might do something freakish in front of all the other guests!" He exclaimed

"What else can we do? If we leave him alone he might burn the house down! You know that HIS people are weird in the head!" countered Petunia

The reason for their leeriness for leaving or taking their nephew alone wasn't because of his mental state as they would have you believe, in truth, it was because their nephew was different, he had magic and was a wizard. He could make supernatural phenomenon happen with the flick of a stick.

"FINE, we will take him with us" decided Vernon "BOY!" he yelled, after a few seconds a small voice that seemed to want to make itself smaller answered

"Yes, Uncle Vernon?" said a tiny and thin boy with green eyes that seemingly squinted at everything

"We, and by that I mean Petunia, Dudley and I, are going to a party in the new mall, you are going with us but you are to make yourself inexistent until we leave and at the sign of any freakishness we will leave and you will be in the cupboard until the next week" Threatened Vernon "Understood?"

"Yes, Uncle Vernon" replied the young boy

"Good, now take a bath and put your best clothes"

At the party the Dursleys enjoyed themselves and made annoyances of themselves to the other guests.

Everything was going as expected…until it wasn't.

"My word…" an old woman whispered at seeing the boy's face "Could it be…? Harry Potter!"

The boy was extremely confused as the woman went over to him and constantly gave him her thanks and asked how he was

"Um… Miss, Do I know you?" asked the confused Potter

"Oh, Right, I forgot my manners my name is…- "She was about to answer when Vernon noticed him talking with a well-dressed woman

"Potter!" hissed Vernon, then he smiled politely to the woman "I apologize if my nephew was annoying you, he is quite a handful and sometimes we lose sight of him" Vernon apologized before turning to leave when the woman answered

"Oh, don't worry about that! I was told that his father was quite the same at his age" She smiled at Vernon before leaving

Meanwhile Vernon started to sweat

'Was she one of them?' was the thought that constantly appeared on his mind as he powerwalked to his wife and son 'Did she see?' He knew very well that they were abusing their nephew, they have never hit him, but they also hadn't showed the love that was required by many children as they grew up instead they had shown hatred and coldness, they never fed him a lot and he wasn't allowed to play with other kids; this made their nephew quite the sight, pale, thin and constantly looking down.

'Did he say something?' He knew he was pulling his nephew with more strength than necessary but he didn't care 'How many of them are in here? Have they been watching us?' Ever so slowly his thoughts turned more and more to paranoia as he wondered how much of their daily live they had seen. Vernon Dursley was no Saint and you could say he now felt his sins crawling up his back.

Reaching petunia and his son he quickly whispered to his wife who was happily feeding Dudley another piece of cake

"We are leaving" He whispered

Petunia quickly looked at his face then at the boy who was currently keeping as quiet as possible to not anger his uncle more than he thought he was

"Did he do something?" She asked with a bit of anger in her tone, watching with some slight satisfaction as her nephew flinched

"No. But it seems that His people are here" He answered "One of them just threatened me for not giving him more colorful clothes" He then lied, his paranoia pushing him to run

"What?!" she hissed "We already are putting up with him and now they are demanding things of us?!" She seemed about to burst as she glared at her nephew

"I know, Pet. But now is not the moment" he whispered through clenched teeth "They left after saying that they would inculpate me for something or the other" He lied again

Petunia paled and only the apparent severity of the situation made her unable to notice the slight detail that a lot of things were said for such a short period of time.

"What are we going to do?" she whispered

"We. Leave. And then talk about it" He said slightly losing his temper

She nodded and they quickly said their goodbyes to a few friends, telling them that she had to leave early due to his nephew having a case of stomach ache

The moment they entered the house Vernon quickly started giving orders, showing that it wasn't coincidence that he acquired his position in Grunnings

"Boy go into your cupboard, Pet get our clothes packed, I'll get dudley's" He quickly ordered

Meanwhile Dudley walked and sat in front of the TV

After little over an hour everything was packed and ready for them to leave

"Are you sure we have to leave the country? What about your Job? Where will we live?" Petunia questioned

"Do you remember Jerry? My best friend from Smeltings? I asked for his help and he said that he can get me a job in accounting for a year, if in that year I show that I am worth it I will get hired as an Accountant Manager. Meanwhile we can stay in a hotel until we sell the house and get another one" He answered while avoiding the first question

"Oh…And what do we do about…" she trailed off

"I have something planned, it will give us time" He answered

Bushy Park is the second largest park in the Royal Parks of London the herds of wild deer are one the attractions of the park. The park, most of which is open to the public, is immediately north of Hampton Court Palace and Hampton Court Park and is a few minutes' walk from the west side of Kingston Bridge.

It was here that Vernon left harry with a 5£ pounds note and a call of 'Have fun!' before leaving in the car leaving him alone at the entrance of the Park. To harry it was obvious what had happened. He had been abandoned.

He walked into the nearest isolated place he could find and finally cried.

He cried for the unfairness of his life

He cried for the loneliness that being abandoned brought

He cried for the betrayal that it brought

He cried… He cried…He cried…

Then he fell asleep, his last thoughts being a wish

A wish for love and acceptance

"Hey Kid…Kid…Kid!" a voice called

With a start he woke up and looked at the source of the voice

It was an old man with grey hair and a wide full beard with rounded bottom and integrated moustache and his expression was like that of someone falling asleep while at the same time it looked like he was paying attention to every move he did.

"Are you ok?" He asked

Harry blinked a bit to get the sleep out of his eyes before answering

"I'm fine" He answered

"Ok then can I ask you a question?" He asked "How did you get here?" He questioned as he pointed around

Looking around the little Potter could understand the question

After all there was a city

Almost at the horizon and just before the sea

While everything else was just trees or plains

"I… don't know… I was just abandoned by my relatives before I woke up here"

The old man blinked before the seeming sleepiness disappeared and focus like that of a dog about to fight for a piece of meat appeared

"You were abandoned…? Do you remember where they went?" he asked

"No… they said they were leaving the city though" Harry answered

"Tch...They probably left the continent" The old man spoke, glaring at nothing for a second before he focused on Harry again and let out a sigh

"Look, whoever your relatives were they probably left you to die" He declared "So I will give you two options, I can take you to Argus and see if you can try your luck in an orphanage or you can stay with me" He offered "Fair warning though, you will have to help around the farm"

Harry looked at the Old man and looked at him. He could feel that he wasn't a bad person. Then he thought back to the horror stories the Dursley family told him and Dudley and shivered before coming to a decision

"I will stay with you…erm…" He decided

The old man blinked before laughing

"You have guts to stay with someone you don't even know the name of" He chuckled a bit before answering Harry's unasked question

"The name is Asko Schakal, nice to meet you"

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter"
