The First Hello

It is July 31st, 1980, and Harry was just born. Regulus Black, Lily Potter, and the Mauraders were all there to see Harry's birth.

It's October 31st, 1981. Lily has just spelled Harry so he won't die, at least not yet. Voldemort is now in the room with Lily and Harry.

James is downstairs lying dead on the floor while Regulus just walked in. Regulus heard a loud noise upstairs and rushed up. He hid behind the wall, watching Voldemort try to kill Harry. Miraculously, Harry survived. Voldemort left. Regulus ran to Harry to make sure he was ok, and then they apparated out.

When Sirius found out the news of James and Lily Potter, he apparated there as fast as he could. When he got there, he couldn't find Harry anywhere, and he just assumed Voldemort had taken him or worse, killed him like he did to his parents.

A few weeks later, they had a funeral for Lily and James Potter but also for Harry because they had no idea where he had gone, so they all just assumed he was dead.

Regulus was nowhere to be found after their death. Partially because of James' death because he was the love of his life but also because he had to protect Harry, and the only way to do that is to join the dark side. When Regulus joined the dark side, he had lied and said Harry was his child to protect him from harm.

It is July 25th, 1991. It's Harry's first lesson in fighting. Regulus has just dropped him off and told him to go say hi to a blonde kid. He looks to be about Harry's age.

"Hi, my name is Harry Potter. What's yours?" Harry said to the blonde boy. He has a beautiful face and slicked back hair that doesn't help his appearance much, but he's doing this for his uncle Regulus.

The blonde boy is hiding behind Harry's aunt Narcissa. Narcissa nudged him forward and told him, "Come on, Draco, go say hi." Draco, then that's his name," Harry thought.

The little blonde boy walked forward and put out his hand. "Hi, I'm Draco.... Malfoy." Harry had thought he was a little shy at first, but he started to warm up, and before he knew it, it was time to start training.

It is July 30th, 1998, only 10 minutes until it's Harry's birthday. He is in Pansy's room with Blaise, Pansy, and Draco.

"So Harry, what do you want for your birthday?" Blaise had said.

"Zabini, it's like 5 minutes until my birthday." Harry had said.

"You still haven't gotten him anything?" Pansy said, moving closer to Blaise.

"I was busy with tasks." Blaise said.

"It's fine. I don't usually get anything on my birthday besides bruised everything from Uncle Regulus' training." Harry said, sitting against Pansy' bed.

"But you should get something special for your birthday. It's your first one as an adult." Draco said, moving closer to Harry.

"It's not any different." Harry said "Besides I'm used to not getting anything."

"I mean, I guess that's true." Pansy said, moving towards Harry' other side.

"That doesn't make it right, though." Blaise said, moving to Draco' other side.

"Guys, it's fine. I'm just going to go to bed. I need to rest up for Uncle Regulus' training tomorrow anyway." Harry said, going to get up."We all should. You know how tough he is."

"Yeah, you're right. Goodnight, Harry." Pansy said, getting up.

"Goodnight, Pans." Everyone said before moving towards the door.

"Goodnight." Pansy said while getting in bed. Everyone then walked out the door and to their separate rooms.
