A long, cold mist was all that could be seen along Private Drive in Surry, England on this very evening. An eagle owl sits upon the street sign for this sleepy neighborhood, overlooking along the long empty street. Eventually, the owl flies off the sign, soaring into the mist and soon it was gone. However, something else steps through the mist walking down the street… Or rather, ‘someone’.
A very old man, with a long white beard and equally long white hair, slowly strolling down the road. He wore a dark wine-red robe and crescent-shaped spectacles over his eyes. As he strolls along, he passed a small tabby cat sitting along the curb staring at him. Once the man made it to the middle of the street, he reaches into a pocket inside his robe and pulls out a rather small device. He flicks a little lever and points it directly toward the streetlamps all over the street. One by one, the lights seem to depart from their posts and sailed directly into this strange device. Once the very last light was doused, blanking Private Drive under the cover of complete darkness, the man seals the little device and places it back into his robes.
A cat’s cry draws his attention toward the tabby cat sitting on the curb, silently looking toward the little creature.
“I should have known that you would be here… Professor McGonagall.”
A moment passed as silence filled the air. Then, as the tabby slowly took a few steps forward, something very strange happened. The cat seemed to undergo a metamorphosis before the man’s eyes and in its place stood an elderly woman in an emerald green robe, small rectangular shaped spectacles, and a Witch’s hat.
“Good evening, Professor Dumbledore,” She greets the old man.
McGonagall quickly made to stand alongside the elder man, as they both made their way down the rather dark road.
“Are the rumors true, Albus?” McGonagall asked, concerned.
“I’m afraid so, Professor,” Dumbledore confirmed. “The good and the bad.”
“And the boy?”
“Hagrid is bringing him.”
“Do you really think it’s wise?” McGonagall asked, skeptically. “To trust Hagrid with something as important as this?”
“Ah Professor, I would trust Hagrid with my life,” Dumbledore answered, truthfully.
McGonagall just nods her head, as they stood in the center of the road, waiting for their companion to arrive.
“And what of your old friends?” She asked, breaking the silence.
“They shall be along momentarily,” Dumbledore responds.
“I do truly hope this reunion will benefit both of our worlds. Who’s to say exactly how long it has been for them, when for us it has only been such a short time?”
Just then, a swirling wind picks up rather quickly billowing around the two professors. As they look on, a bright flash of light shines brightly through the night sky before all goes dark once more. When the light cleared, in its place, two horse-like creatures, ‘alicorns’ to be specific, stood before them. One was slightly taller than the other, yet both were of impressive stature which measured up to the same height as the two elder professors. The tallest was white as freshly fallen snow with a mane of rainbow colors billowing in a nonexistent wind. The smallest one was a midnight blue with a mane that sparkled like the starry sky and as dark blue as the night that also billowed in the air. Both creatures had a strange mark along their flanks, a sun for the white and a crescent moon for the other. While the appearance of these creatures would startle most people, especially muggles, the elder duo smiled upon their appearance.
“Ah, Princess Celestia! What a joyous pleasure it is to see you once more, old friend,” Dumbledore greeted. “And Princess Luna, I was very pleased to hear of your rehabilitation upon your recent return.”
The alicorns in question both trotted forward to stand in front of the duo, smiling brightly before bowing their heads slightly. The tall older one was the first to speak up.
“How lovely it is to see you again as well,” Celestia greeted warmly.
“Yes, tis indeed quite wonderful to be seeing you again as well, Albus,” Luna smiled.
“Hard to believe it has been a thousand years since I have seen you.”
“A thousand years for you perhaps,” Dumbledore stated. “For us, however, it has been only a mere year.”
“Ah yes, I see. It seems when our alliance was severed, the time change has proven quite drastic.”
“Pardon us for the interruption, but what art thou both speaking of?” Princess Luna asked, confused.
Celestia turns to her younger sister, realizing she had not yet explained the severity of the situation.
“Well Luna, after you had been banished to the moon, I separated Equestria’s ties with the wizarding world,” Celestia explained. “When that happened, it was as though time drastically shifted between our worlds. So while a thousand years may have passed for us, it has only been a year for them.”
This was all brand-new information for the Princess of the Night to take in. All the same, she really shouldn’t be so surprised. After all, Luna had only just recently returned from her banishment on the moon no more than a few short days ago so there was still so much left to learn. Nonetheless, she nods before turning back to the rest of the group.
“I do so hope that the boy will soon be brought here,” Luna spoke. “If it’s true what you said in your letter, that this threat not only poses problems to the Wizard World but Equestria as well, then it is of vital importance that the boy plays his part.”
It was then they could hear a faint sound coming from high in the sky. They all turn to face the direction, whence the sound came from, only to see a bright white light growing bigger and wider. As it came closer, they could make out the outline of what resembles a large burly man rising some sort of vehicle. The vehicle in question finally touched the ground, screeching slightly as it came to a halt in front of them. The large burly man in question removes his goggles, looking intensely at the group.
“Professor Dumbledore sir!” He greeted. “Professor McGonagall!”
He slowly stepped away from the vehicle, adjusting the bundle he was carrying. When he turns back toward the group, his eyes caught sight of two alicorn princesses and his eyes widen in shock.
“Well, I’ll be a goblin’s bearded uncle! If it ain’t Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! Why the last time aye saw either of yer was bout a year ago.”
Celestia and Luna giggle slightly at the sight of another old friend of theirs, but they both bow their heads all the same.
“It’s quite lovely to see you, Rubeus Hagrid,” Celestia greets, kindly.
“Many moons has it been since last seeing old friends such as yourself,” Luna added. “But tis quite lovely to see you, Hagrid.”
“No problems I trust Hagrid?” Dumbledore asked.
“No sir,” Hagrid answered. “Little tyke fell asleep just as were flying over Bristol. Try not to wake him.”
He hands the tiny bundle to the elderly duo, as they proceed to turn the other direction and strolls back down the road. Celestia and Luna walk alongside them, gazing upon the bundle to see a small little boy, no older than a year, sleeping peacefully. The only detail that stood out was a lightning shaped scar etched on his forehead.
“So this is the boy destined to be our great savior?” Luna asked.
“Indeed he is Luna,” Dumbledore nodded.
“So, what are we to do now, Albus?” Celestia questioned. “Surely we can’t let the dark lord know of his whereabouts; where are we to keep him?”
“Until the time of his eleventh birthday, he shall remain in the custody of his aunt and uncle here on Private Drive,” Dumbledore explained. “Once he reached the correct age, he can officially begin attending school and preparations for the final battle can proceed.”
“Hopefully that’s more than enough time for the bearers of the Elements of Harmony to complete their missions in Equestria,” Luna pointed out. “Once Equestria’s future is secured, only then will they be ready to face this horrible threat.”
“Albus! Do you really think that it’s safe leaving him with these people?” McGonagall began. “I’ve watched them all day and they are the worst sort of muggles imaginable. They really are…”
“… The only family he has,” Dumbledore finished.
The groups eventually come upon the front door of a brick row house, where the only source of light was a single porch light.
“This boy will be famous,” McGonagall stated. “There won’t be a child in our world who doesn’t know his name.”
“Not only your world, but soon he will be a living legend in Equestrian history,” Celestia added.
“Exactly! He’s far better off growing up away from all of that… Until he is ready.”
“With that, Dumbledore leans forward and gently places the bundle along the doorstep of the row house. It was at this moment the whole group heard sniffling from behind them. They all turned to see Hagrid, tears rolling down his face, having grown quite attached to the boy.
“There, there Hagrid,” Dumbledore assures the big man. “It’s not really goodbye after all.”
“After a thousand years being banished to the moon, ten more should be nothing,” Luna joked, slightly. “Don’t worry, ten small years and you shall be reunited with your little friend.”
“Renewing the alliance between Equestria and the Wizard World should allow time to flow as evenly between our worlds as it had once before,” Celestia smiles. “Soon enough, it will feel as though no time has passed at all.”
Hagrid gave one last sniff, nodding with a half-hearted smirk. The group turns back for one more look at the small bundle, just lying motionless along the doorstep. The final thing Dumbledore leaves behind, as he leans upon the bundle is a single letter addressed to the masters of this house.
“Good luck… Harry Potter.”

FIRST!
*Raise my glass* To Harry Potter...the boy who lived...!
And now a moment with Discord
This has been a moment with Discord
Yeah And this is gonna be fun
Oh yeah, this oughta be good. Are you going to put in stuff from the books?
10546222
I’m hoping to
11 years? So Princess Twilight will be sole princess by then, and Luster Dawn would still be a young filly... oh maybe Luster can be a Hufflepuff?
10546233
No you don’t get it. This starts just after the first episode of FIM
very good
Yay! it's has arrive!!!
Hmm, intriguing set up.
I think this’ll wind up being my favorite story(and series within a series) of the CA by far.
Great start! I can't wait to see how this goes!
This will be interesting
Hold on a sec! Celestia, Luna, and Dumbledore know each other?!
10546243
ah that answers that. I still find '11' years to be abit of a stretch. But thats just me being nitpicky. Can't wait for more
And so it all begins, at the cusp of the one year anniversary since the series' creation, we proceed with the start of one of the most famous franchises not just in the cinematic line-up but an adaptation of one of the greatest literary series of all time. And we begin just the way as we might expect: A dark cold night, a reunion between friends old and new. While we already know how this movie begins, what the fans have just witnessed is foreshadow of something bigger that ultimately drives the series. For up till now, the most plot development we've had is the release of the 'Legion of Doom' under the command of a mysterious 'Benefactor' with even stranger tides to the television, the central part of this series as a whole.
The meeting between Equestria's heroes and 'The Boy Who Lived' is guaranteed to leave fans excited for what we have in mind. It'll be our biggest project we've ever tackled yet, but we are confident the fans will most surely enjoy what we have in mind.
Hey, the next time you can do one adventure with the Young six?
Oh man guess twilight is going to freak out when see magic,book spell and lots of crazy stuff
Nice start. Though, I'm kinda worried to see the scene involving the... Unicorn Blood.
10546213
To that we say cheers. This is sure to be an adventure the fans will most surely never forget.
10546214
Ah yes, P-D. Just wait till we get our girls into the realm of Hogwarts. The commentary established for this movie should be highly promising.
10546216
That's the idea. Fun for two major audiences: The MLP fans and the Harry Potter fans.
10546222
The last thing we want is to make this a shot-by-shot remake. There's tons of details Mr. Enigma and I want to include. But we'll know for sure once I get the good word from the boss man.
10546233
If we're talking Equestria's 'present' situation. But as Mr. Enigma explained more clearly, the Princesses that visited Hogwarts during the time Harry is left on his relatives porch come from the time frame of the first season. This is before the girls major confrontation with the villains known collectively as the 'Legion of Doom' and this time is just before Twilight eventually assumes the position of Ruler of Equestria. This foreshadow is meant to established this has all been planned out from the beginning, demonstrating that the events that came prior to the 'Cinematic Adventures' was by no means an accident in some way.
10546244
Thank you very much, Mr. Ribbert.
10546246
While we understand certain elements of this movie were glossed over, specifically the abuse situation, there's only so much we can really acknowledge. I'm sure Mr. Enigma and I will come up with something.
10546252
And it's only just beginning my friend.
10546255
We shall see. We still have a long ways to go and this is our longest project to date.
10546258
Neither can I. Mr. Enigma and I have been planning this project for months.
10546321
Indeed. This will be a magical adventure.
10546262
And promising. We cannot forget that.
10546298
We'll keep those concerns in mind. If Mr. Enigma has a project in mind involving the Young Six, I'd be the first to know personally.
10546306
The bigger question is: How can Twilight 'not' freak out over this?
10546333
Well, I love it already
10546313
Well we're not quite there just yet. But your concerns are duly noted. We're still going over it anyway, but we acknowledge just the same.
Your story has an interesting start and has a lot of promise. I will be interested in reading future chapters. That being said, a few notes:
1) The Dursley's live on Privet Drive, not Private Drive.
2) The pacing was way too fast. Having just reread HP&SS, JK Rowling took her time with the first chapter. She didn't rush it.
3) The grammar needs some work. For instance, the tense shifts between present and past for no reason.
10546337
Ah good point
10546324
'Kay. I was asking because there are stuff from the first book that wasn't included in the first movie, like Snape's grudge towards Harry's father for saving his life, the Potions and troll part of the obstacles towards the Sorcerer's Stone, and of course Peeves himself (who wasn't even seen in all the movies).
10546341
1. Easy mistake. It was an unwanted grammar fix.
2. We're not Rowling, but your concerns are noted.
3. Obviously. Easy fixes.
If it's too much for you, you may take your leave if you wish.
10546336
But you let me know too, okay?
Aw yeah! I may not be a mega fan of the series, but still a fan of Harry Potter! Can’t wait for what’s to happen
And just like that, everything went back to being family friendly (for now).
10546358
We're very busy people. Mr. Enigma and I have so much to do. So try not to keep your hopes too high if we don't respond right away.
10546359
Well if you're this excited with the prologue, we're confident you'll like what we have in mind for the rest of the story.
10546360
Well of course it's family friendly. It is the first movie after all. We haven't even tackled the more adult themes of the series just yet. That's when we 'really' go all out.
10546361
Sorry, because i have a obsession with they
10546332
I don’t doubt that. This is a long movie. And a meaty one at that.
Wasn't the owl on the sign an eagle owl?
Wow and i thought my reaction to the spongebob movie was going to be the most excitement i would expiriece with this series. I can't wait for this since i love both the movies and books! Super cool that your letting the princesses have a connection to the wizzarding world! That's really cool, also I'm Sorry about putting that pressure on you when i was asking about the conjuring chapter. No need to rush, that was never my intention
10546391
It was either an Eagle Owl or just a regular barn owl.
