HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts Institute of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

He was not a freak, he was a wizard. Harry read the letter twice, he pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He will be away from the dursleys and their bullying. He slept in his bed waiting for september 1.

24 July, 1991. evening in Headmaster's office

He was afraid the dursleys might have mistreated Harry. He had placed harry with Petunia because of the blood wards, but when Minerva showed the address in Harry's letter, The Cupboard under the Stairs, he questioned their behaviour in keeping a mere boy in a cupboard.

He had to see for himself the way Harry was kept, He would go tomorrow to the dursleys' house under the Potter Cloak.

35 July, 1991.

Early morning at No. 4 Privet Drive.

It was 5:00 A.M., Albus quietly unlocked the door with a soundless Alohomora, and slid into the house. "Let me check if Harry is alright, the Letter said The Cupboard under the stairs.", He neared the cupboard and opened with a soundless Alohomora. He saw a skeletal boy sleeping in a small bed, covered in scars and burns. He regretted his actions that led to a lovely little boy to be treated in such a inhuman manner. He would put a stop to this, Boy-Who-Lived or Blood wards not withstanding, he will not tolerate the abuse of a child. No matter the blood wards, harry would be safer at Hogwarts, away from beatings.

He checked the house for a moment, there was a empty room yet harry was forced to sleep in the Cupboard. He would take care of the Dursleys. He seated himself in the Livingroom and waited. After 2 hours everyone woke up, and when Petunia came to the Livingroom, Albus Asked her,"Tea?". She shrieked. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?", hearing this Vernon and Harry came, "Yesterday a owl and today a freak, this boy has ruined our life, I will beat the freakishness out of him!". "I have come to take Harry away permanently, and you will not touch him, or you will suffer for abusing him.". "We haven't abused him, beating is how you deal with a freak, what have I done to deserve him. ". "Enough!, I will not tolerate you calling Harry a freak after you abused him. Petunia what do you think, Lily would have done if you and Vernon died and Dudley didn't?. She would have cared for him like her own and not lock him in a cupboard. You have done a great injustice and you will pay for it, You will become frail, gaunt and unloved, until harry has recovered from his abuse.". With that he grabbed harry and apparated away.

A muggle restaurent.

They sat down at a table furthest from the people and he Cast a wordless _muffliato_.

"Who are you, sir?"

"I am Albus Dumbledore, yes the one from the letter you got, I was a close friend of your parents, Harry."

"You were a friend of my parents, what were they like?"

"Your father, James was a powerful wizard, a Courageous, and Honourable man, who always did the right thing no matter the cost, and your mother was a sweet, lovely and the brightest witch of her generation. ", He noticed a look of surprise on Harry's face, "Tell me Harry, what do you know of you parents."

"That my parents were drunks and losers and died in a car crash."

"That could be no further from the truth my boy, they were one of the best if not the best people I have met in my long life."

Harry sat there contemplating the words. As if to deflect the conversation from his parents, "Sir you said, you will take me away permanently, but where?"

"Harry, you will stay at Hogwarts with me and my colleagues, who were friends of your parents. Tell me What do you know of Hogwarts"

"Hogwarts is a school for fre... Magical people like me, where they are taught magic?"

"Indeed Harry, Hogwarts is a school located in Scottish forest, where we teach young magicals how to harness and use their magic. The students are divided into four houses, who each have their own camp on the forest. There is house Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Hufflepuffs. Gryffindor is known for bravery and strength, it was also the house of your parents, Ravenclaw is known for knowledge and wisdom, Slytherin is known for Ambition and cunning, and Hufflepuffs are known for their Loyalty and Hard work. "

"Sir do I have to chose now sir?"

"No, my boy, there is a ceremony for that, finish your food and let's get to Hogwarts."

A/N:

Yes, This is the first chapter. Please excuse the English, as it ain't my first language. Lots of plot and stuff to come. This fic is AU Hogwarts, with differing journey to Hogwarts and new places (which will be introduced later in the fic.) and a very different Hogwarts, which is located in a Forest instead of being a Castle.
