Prologue

*

"Good evening, students of Hogwarts," Headmaster Dumbledore's voice echoed through all the classroom during an evening lesson. "I've been asked, by the Ministry, to remove an Adoption Charm placed on one student of this school. I'm now asking you all to listen as I read the student's real name, as it is the most curious thing."

All glanced to each other, astonished. What on Earth was going on? Adoption Charm? On whom? Straining their ears, they started to listen attentively as the Headmaster continued.
