Chapter 1: Dreams and Letters, Secrets Revealed! Part 1
Harry Potter a boy of 14 was asleep in his room at #4 Privet Drive though it was a restless sleep. Every night since returning from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Harry had been having nightmares. Always the same thing reliving the events of the final task of the Tri Wizard Tournament. The graveyard in which Voldemort’s rebirth took place, Cedric Diggory's death and the battle with Voldemort where his parents’ visages saved him. Always the same things over and over, until tonight that is.

A young woman with fiery red hair stood atop a hill looking down at a small village.
"Mum?" questioned Harry.
"No Harry. My name is Lina Inverse and it is time you learned the truth." the woman, Lina said as she turned around to face Harry.
"What truth? How am I here? Who are you?"
"The truth about magic. I brought you here and that...is a secret." giggled Lina.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Harry magic is much more than what you have been led to believe. So much more."
"What do you mean?" questioned Harry.
"I mean Magic is not just light and dark, good and evil. You need a balance of both for the world to work right. There was a time when Black Magic was not Evil it was battle magic. During this time Humans, monsters, demons and sorcerers all coexisted together. White magic was used to heal, black magic was used to fight those who threatened the peace of this world and shamanistic magic was based upon the spiritual plane. Any questions so far?"
"Spiritual Plane? What is that?" Harry asked.
"The spiritual plane is the plane in which our spirits reside."
"You mean like ghosts?"
"No. You will understand within time young one. Moving on. Black Magic was destructive yes. Especially in the wrong hands but there were plenty of Black Magic sorcerers and sorceress' who used it for good. Over the years though the natural magic in which sorcerers and sorceress' derived their powers slowly disappeared due to constant development of the land and the marriage of normal humans and magic users. Eventually the magic users began inter-marrying to make their magic stronger when all it was doing was causing it to become even more degraded. Every so often though there is a child born whom can harness the natural magic in which the ancients used. Your mother was one such person. You are another. Your magic in today's terminology would be known as Wild magic." Lina explained.
"Is that why I am constantly unable to control my magic?"
"Yes, it is. Time is almost up Harry. When you awaken ask your Aunt about it. You may be surprised at what you learn. Goodbye for now Harry."
"Wait what..." Harry tried to question as Lina disappeared and he awoke to his Aunt pounding on his door.

"UP! Get up Harry!"
"Yes Aunt Petunia" Harry responded as he got up and went downstairs to make breakfast for the Dursleys.
Once Vernon had left for work and Dudley for Piers’ house Harry felt he should ask his aunt about his dream.
"Aunt Petunia? Can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"It's about my mother. I had a dream about her and I thought since you are her sister you might know. Sorry for bothering you." Harry went to turn around and leave when Petunia told him to sit down in the living room. He followed her directions and sat as she made tea for them.
"What is it you wanted to know?"
Uhmm...Well, did she ever have trouble uhmm...well controlling her...stuff?" Harry cautiously questioned his Aunt.
"Yes. She had problems controlling her magic until she was 17. Yes, Harry I said magic. In truth I loved Lily dearly and the only reason that I wasn't on speaking terms with her when she died was because of Vernon. She said that something about him was off and that I shouldn't marry him. I wish I would have listened to her. Vernon is not the man I thought he was. I wish I could leave him but I cannot hold a job and care for Dudley and you as well on my own." As Petunia continued to talk about his mother and their relationship he realized something; Vernon Dursley was the reason he was unhappy. His aunt was just a helpless bystander in this.
"Aunt Petunia?"
"Yes"
"Did you ever meet my dad? What about Sirius and Professor Lupin?"
"Yes, I met them a few times. Your father and his friends told me to contact them if I were ever in trouble and unable to get ahold of Lily. I would have contacted them when you were sent here but I was unable to find an address for Remus and Sirius was said to have been the reason your parents were dead."
"Aunt Petunia I can contact both Professor Lupin and Sirius for you if you wish. They will help us get away from Vernon."
"Yes Harry please do so and then I have a letter that I was to give to you from Lily if she were to ever die."
"Okay Aunt Petunia." Harry said standing up to go write a letter and send it off with Hedwig.
Padfoot and Moony,
I hope this finds you both well. I have had some recent revelations and ask for your help. Aunt Petunia, Dudley and myself need a way to get away from Uncle Vernon. She told me that you and Prongs offered to help. Can you please come over so we can talk about it?
Your Cub
H.J.P.
P.S. Send your response with Hedwig. She will wait for it.
After Harry had tied the letter to Hedwig and sent it off telling her to wait for their response and bring it right back to him as quick as possible he went back downstairs to continue his conversation with his Aunt Petunia.
"Aunt Petunia? I sent the letter out with Hedwig."
"Good. Thank You Harry. Here Lily left this letter with me. I've never opened it."
"Thank You Aunt Petunia."
Harry opened the parchment in which the letter his mum had left for him was contained. Unfolding the piece of parchment that was in the envelope he began to read.
To my dearest Harry,
If you are reading this letter than myself and your father are dead. Hopefully you have been sent to live with Sirius and Remus but if Albus has managed to get to you first than I fear you have been placed with my sister Petunia. If that is the case I can only hope that she has left Vernon by this point. If not then I fear for both yours and her safety.
Do not believe what Albus has told you if you are indeed in Hogwarts.
If you do not know already than your godfather is Sirius Black. Your other godfather is Severus Snape. I am unsure as to whether you have met him or if he has already passed but I can only hope not. If not he may need your help to get out from under both Albus' control and Voldemort’s.
He will need your help to be with his True mates. Yes mates. He is a creature Harry and his mates are Sirius and Remus. He is denying it to himself and Albus is helping to keep Severus away from them.
Harry you need to go to Gringotts and ask to speak with Ragnok the head Goblin there. He will give you mine and your father’s wills. Peter Pettigrew was our secret keeper and if we are gone than he has betrayed us.
Harry I very much doubt that you have been told about your true magic. I am one of the first in a long line of descendants to have wild magic. You also have this magic. Our ancestor Lina Inverse-Gabriev was a sorceress who used Dark Magic. I myself was too scared to attempt to learn it so I learned White Magic or Holy Magic as it was once called. You though have the potential to learn Black Magic. Don't look at the paper like that. I know you are wondering how learning the dark arts is good.
Black Magic is not the Dark Arts. Black Magic is not addictive nor is it as evil as it sounds. You will need to learn it. I doubt you have heard the full prophecy or if you have it was probably the edited version. I will tell you now.
Born to those who have thrice defied him
Born as the seventh month dies
and the dark Lord will mark him as his equal
but he will have the power to defeat him
Power the dark lord knows not
and with the help from his ancestors
he will bring change upon this world
with his mate by his side
Born to those who have thrice defied him
born as the seventh month dies
a child of the ages shall come
This is the prophecy which sent me and your dad into hiding. Harry remember no matter what you have been told things are not what they seem.
Love,
Your mother
Lily Potter
After Harry had finished reading the letter he handed it to Petunia with shaking hands.
After she had finished reading she sat in stunned silence for a while before speaking, "Harry, are you going to do what your mother said? Can you take me with you?"
"Yes Aunt Petunia I am and Yes I planned on taking you with me. There is no way I am leaving you here with that man any longer than need be." Harry replied
.
Just then they heard Vernon's car pull into the drive and Petunia said "You better go to your room quick. We will talk later about this."
