I don't Harry Potter (this includes books, movies, etc.)

Summary: James, Lily and Dumbledore wanted to make sure Harry would be strong enough to not only defeat Voldemort but to be a powerful protector of the wizard world…so they make a deal…with the devil. However they didn't realize how much it would cost them and what the devil's price would actually be.

Harry Potter, as a small toddler was proclaimed as the boy-who-lived after defeating one of the world's most dangerous wizards. However after several days, Lily and James Potter, who survived the attack from Voldemort that horrible Halloween night, they saw that Harry grew sicker and weaker.

Eventually, he had to be taken to the hospital. But nothing could be done…to their shock they found that Harry was dying.

"I'm so sorry Mr. and Mrs. Potter, your son magic and life force has been fading away after the attack. We don't know the cause exactly, but we believe that the killing curse still affected him even though he deflected it. So the curse is taking longer to destroy his body, yet because his magic is still not nearly developed…he's not strong enough to fight it off…I'm so sorry" said the grim looking doctor.

The parents cried for what felt like ages in their son's room. He looked pale and was hardly breathing.

It was a day after the doctor gave them the terrible news, that Dumbledore came to visit them after also finding out about Harry.

"It is true…he is dying" said Albus softly. Lily choked on a sob and left the room quickly to try and calm herself.

"Please, there must be something we can do" said James with tears falling down his eyes.

Dumbledore gave a sad sigh, "Well…there is one way…but I hoped it wouldn't come to this."

"There is nothing else. Magic and muggle means are useless to save him" said James.

After a long pause, Dumbledore gave another sigh, "Then we will have to do this quickly…and no one, not even Lily or Harry should know about this."

The darkness swarms around them as the two wizards stood in the protection circle they created.

A man wearing a large coat, top hat, and carrying a can with a skull on it appeared out of the gloom.

"Do you wish to make a deal with me and my minions?"

"Yes…it concerns a young child named Harry Potter" said Dumbledore.

"I know about the dying child, Albus…I can save him from the hand of death and give him the strength he needs to live on…for a price."

"Name it" said James.

"I will be allowed to see your son whenever I please; I will be referred to as an "uncle" of his by you and his family. I can't have children so I wish to be a parental figure since that dream is forever out of my reach. Also the child must carry a mark since he is saved by our deal."

"Very well, we agree to the terms" said James.

The man gave a sinister smile and inwardly said "Fools". The darkness swam around them in many shades of dark colors.

Meanwhile back in Harry's room, the boy is given a mark on his shoulder. The mark of a raven with blood red eyes. Now he bares two scars from two evil beings.

The young baby opened his eyes. He was alone so no one saw the red glow flash in his eyes briefly.

The mark on his right-upper chest meant more than James and Dumbledore could possibly imagine.
