Prologue

Lucius Malfoy was in a good mood. His wife, Narcissa, had given birth to an heir on the first try, and little Draco was getting pretty big, his fourth birthday a few weeks before. Malfoy Industries (MI) was growing more and more powerful with each passing day, and Lucius had just been elected onto the Board of Governors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The only thing that dampened his mood was news from his master.

Almost three years ago the Dark Lord had gone to the Potter's and had been drastically weakened. Just a few days ago he had been moved to Malfoy Manor, where he could heal and be taken care of.

Something had changed, though. A Seer had been brought to the Manor, as per instruction, and a prophecy had been given; but Voldemort had told no one what it said.

Lucius smirked when he thought about the 'turning point in the war against evil.' As if tiny, insignificant Maxwell Potter could really defeat the Dark Lord. It was hilarious. Lucius was contemplating the sheer stupidity of it all when his fireplace heaved, and out stepped Severus Snape. He looked shocked and disheveled, never a good sign. It took a lot to shake up Severus Snape.

As Lucius fluidly stood from his recliner he noticed that Severus was not alone. He carried a small child, probably just a little younger then Draco.

"Severus? What's the matter? Who is this?" Lucius questioned. Severus looked up at Lucius, almost as if in shock.

"She just gave him to me. After everything everyone said. Abandoned! She just gave him to me. Me! I didn't know what to do. I just came here since he looks about Draco's age, and I figured Cissa could look after him until we figured out what to do. I mean, how could she?" Severus ranted, most unlike him. Lucius was worried now.

"Sev. Slow down. What happened?"

"Lily." Severus said. "She flooed me earlier. Told me she couldn't do it. She had to take care of Max first, since he is the Boy-Who-Lived. Gave him to me with a letter to take to an orphanage."

Severus adjusted the child in his arms, so Lucius could see his small frame, mop of messy dark hair, and lightning shaped scar etched on his forehead.

"This, Lucius, is Harry Potter."

End of Prologue

AN: Okay. That's the Prologue. Tell me if you like it. I may not update as quickly as most would like. I have another story that has one(!) chapter left that I Have(!) to finish. As soon as I finish this, I'm gonna start typing it.

I wrote this last night, when I couldn't fall asleep, so that may have something to do with it sucking.

But I would really really really appreciate it if you reviewed! :)
