Y/n was always a troubled child, expelled twice, suspended far too often, and always fighting someone, but it was never for the wrong reasons, he just wanted to protect his little brother. That was all he ever wanted to do... And he failed
2 years before the events of the story
"I'm so sorry, I'm so fucking sorry," Y/n whispers starting the photo of his younger brother.
A knock is heard at the front door
"Answer the fucking door!" The voice of his father interrupts his apologies
Y/n runs to the door, scared of what will happen if his father hears the sound of knocking once more
He opens the door revealing an old man wearing robes
"Y/n I presume?" The man asks
"Nah sorry mate, I'm Peter Parker, you got the wrong house."
Y/n slams the door and turns to walk back upstairs, but is greeted by the old man once again
"I'm sorry to intrude Y/n, but we must talk, I'm Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,"
"Ah, well I should've guessed eh? Witchcraft and Wizardry? Obviously,"
"I know it seems eccentric, and... Perhaps unbelievable. Perhaps if I show you."
The man reveals a wooden stick from his robes and swishes it causing a ball of light to appear at the tip
"Wow, a magic wand. Well dick me dead and bury me pregnant eh? I can get one of those from the corner shop,"
The old man sighs
"You got me, you're very intelligent, I'm sure you have an explanation for this too huh?"
He swishes the wand once again and uses it to lift the sofa
"... The fuck? How the... What you want?"
"Only to make you an offer, see you're a wizard, just like me, just like many others. I wish for you to join our school, with some work... We can turn you into an impressive wizard, with your parent's permission of course."
Y/n's eyes go wide and he thinks for what seems like an eternity
"... Piss off."
The old man looks at him confused
"You're refusing? Do you mind if I ask the reason?"
"Yeah, I do, now I'll say it again, piss off."
"I'm afraid I can't do that in good conscience. I know you're scared of your father-"
"So you do know then. You know everything, you knew my brother, you could have saved him, but you didn't... I don't believe in God, because why would all these people die if he can do this amazing shit... But you can do that too, and you didn't do nothing. Now I know the truth... You're both cunts."
"Very well... I can't force you."
The old man walks out the front door.
Present day
Y/n had left his mother and father, instead, he decided to do anything else, he stole, he scammed, and he hurt, but never to anyone undeserving, he didn't have an apartment, instead living in the basement of a pub, who's owner had a good heart, but that's not what Y/n saw, he just saw a bastard wizard who gave him no other choice.
"Oi Tom, I'm going ou- fuck you want?"
The sight of Dumbledore ruined Y/n's mood
Dumbledore smiled at Y/n, hopining to alleviate his stress
"Afternoon Y/n, it's been a long time."
"Not long enough, what do you want?"
"A boy by the name of Harry Potter is joining Hogwarts, he is... Well he's naive, and compassionate, he's also under the threat of constant danger... I need you to protect him."
"You joking? First of all, piss off. Second of all, what am I supposed to do? I don't have any of that magic shit you lot do, and I'd be starting in a year where everyone is above me in terms of skill. And third of all... He'd be better off without me," Y/n rants
"While most of that is true. You are the only one not swayed, the only one without any prejudice, at least the only one who views the world you do... You hate everyone, that is what we need, a true... Well, you'd call it a bastard."
"...No, I'd call it a cunt. I'll help... If you do something for me."
"Of course, anything."
"I want financial compensation, for me and Tom, I want to be able to skip whenever I like, and I can do as I see fit to protect him."
"You have yourself a deal young man. He should be here in about... 5 minutes, you were not told to protect him, you are a late bloomer, you only just found your power and have as little knowledge of the wizarding world as he does. Oh and... Please don't insult Hagrid, he is lovely at heart."
Dumbledore disappears in front of their eyes
"...Fuck me."
