Chapter 1: A Green Beginning Part 1

Ten Year old Harry James Potter Relaxed in his stance as he tried to make it more like his friend/teacher Trini Kwan as they practiced the Mantis style together in the Youth Center of Angel Grove. Uncle Vernon had gotten a job transfer to the Grunnings division here and they where still the most miserable human beings he had ever had the misfortune to meet/live with. Of course, they couldn't deny him many of his rights as a human being as they had in England, what with America's child abuse laws and such. Though one thing remained the same, Dudley made it his life's mission to make sure he had no friends their age. But, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have met Trini as she and her friend Kimberly Hart had defended him from Dudley and his new gang of idiots. He started hanging around in the Youth Center after that as Dudley usually hung around home or the Arcade.

When Trini saw him practicing a Mantis stance on the "gym area" she offered to help him with it, which he gratefully accepted. Which was why on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays he could be seen practicing with Trini.

"More like this." Trini said patiently and curved his arm on the inside a bit more. "Now try."

Harry performed a punch/kick combo flawlessly.

"Hey Freak! Mum and Dad want you in the car, NOW!" Dudley shouted form the door making Harry droop his head as he cousin waddled away to his parents car.

"I'll see you on Tuesday Harry." Trini said and they both bowed. Harry slung his gym bag over his shoulder. She watched her student leave and joined her friends at the table where they where studying for their Chem final.

"He's coming along." Tommy said to Trini in an impressed tone.

"Well study's have shown that pre-teens and children often pick up on things faster than those our age or adults." Billy said also in an impressed tone. "Though I am a bit concerned about his home situation. One day last week he came in with a big shiner on his eye, he told me it was bullies but, I think it was something more than that."

"Maybe we could get Ms. Applebee to look into it." Kimberley suggested, also concerned about the sweet child. "She's a children's rights activist isn't she?

"Good idea Kim, I just hope he's ok for now." Trini said as she watched the very expensive car drive away and saw Harry watching the Center from the window.

In the Moon Palace...

"So, the Yellow Ranger has a little student does she? Well then, I guess I should introduce the boy to my putties!"Lord Zedd, arch enemy of the Power Rangers declared as he spied on the Dursley's driveway. "But how to do so?"

In the driveway...

"Now you listen here boy." The whale like man said shaking a finger at his nephew. "We're having neighbors over for a garden party this evening and their bringing their children. Out of the goodness of our hearts."

Harry repressed a snort at this, since when does someone with a good heart give his nephew a black eye because he did better than his son on an pre-algebra test?

"We have decided to allow you to attend, but no funny business. Any funny business, any at all, and you'll be locked in your room from now, until Christmas." Vernon said with his face in Harry's.

Get out of my face you fat walrus. Harry thought with a frown but nodded.

Moon Palace...

"Brilliant." Zedd said with a smirk in his voice as he watched the young human go into the large house.

That Afternoon at about 5 o'clock...

The neighbors gathered on the Dursley's lawn with their children. Talking, laughing, having a good time. The busnissmen of the group listened to some stories of deals Vernon made in his younger days and where moderately impressed. Trini and Kimberley where in the neighborhood because Harry had left behind his pre-algebra text book and where walking up to the party. Harry spotted them and waved

"You must be Mr. and Mrs. Dursley." Trini greeted Petunia who echanged welcomes with the two girls. "Harry left his Pre-Algebra book behind this afternoon and he was telling me about their review tomorrow so I brought it by." Trini said handing it to Petunia.

"Thank you very much Miss Kwan." Petunia said politely putting it down on the table.

Suddenly, gray men flipped onto the scene around the guests on the lawn.

"Uh oh, party crashers." Kimberly said to Trini and Petunia who cried out in terror.

"Putties." Trini said simply getting into a fighting stance noticing Harry doing the same as the children huddled together. "Harry!" She shouted. "Aim for the Z!" Harry nodded and the battle ensued.

Harry stayed in front of the kids to fend off the putties that didn't go for Trini or Kimberly. The kids looked awe as Harry grabbed one's arm, flipped it and punched it in the Z. When two came up he he blocked with both arms and his legs in an arch angle and flipped those two as well before gointg to two more and attempting to kick one in the head in an arch kick, blocking its punch with his left arm and palming its Z with his right hand. "Awesome!" He shouted. Though they where in danger this was fun! Like a game almost. He ducked a putty's sweep with its arm by bending backwards, brought his body up and kicked its Z with his right foot in a high kick.

The ones who had teenagers of their own watched In awe as well. Here where two teenage girls and a ten year old boy fighting these evil gray men and they had to shout at theirs to take out the garbage.

Soon the gray men disappeared.

"Thank you so much, thank you." Petunia said hugging the two girls.

"It happens all the time ma'am, you get used to it." Kimberly insisted. Smiling as she saw the kids gathering around Harry asking him questions.

"We better contact Zordon." Trini whispered to Kimberly who nodded after several adults thnaked them for beating the putties.

"Yeah." Kimberly agreed as they started to jog tot he park.

Harry noticed his two older friends leaving suddenly and decided to follow them as the party continued. When they stopped just beyond the bushes

"Zordon, Harry's relatives lawn party was just attacked by putties." He saw Trini talking into her watch.

"Do you think Zedd's up to something?" Kimberly added.

"I am unsure at this time, Alpha and I shall monitor Angel Grove from here, be cautious Rangers." "Zordon" said to them making Harry's eyes bug slightly.

Kimberly and Trini are Power Rangers? He asked in his mind, unknowingly making the bush give way and he fell forward almost into them. He cried out as he felland rolled onto his backside. "Ow." He said, then he said. "Oops" as he looked up and saw Trini and Kimberly looking down at him.

"How much of that did you hear?" Kimberly asked in concern.

"You guys are Power Rangers?" He asked bluntly making them start to worry.

To Be Continued...

Harry will be the Green Ranger without the shield.

Trini play's a mentor/big sister role in his life.
