In Canterlot castle Princess Celestia was writing a letter to Twilight when entered her sister Luna.

"What are you doing Tia?" asked Luna as she entered.

"Just sending a letter to Twilight" Princess Celestia said "and don't worry I won't forget to put in that bit about the night you spent with Harry"

"From another dimension Tia! Can you believe it?" asked Luna "I remember mother telling us about the existence of other planes of existence other than this one but I never actually believed it, far less someone from them coming to our world!"

"I know what you mean Luna" said Celestia. They then looked up to a giant framed picture of the two of them from their time up in the clouds (where they lived before they came down to Equestria to save the Pegasus and earth ponies from Discord's tyranny). It was of them in their old castle home with them as young fillies with their mother smiling at them as she them close to her wings. She was a white pony with wings and a horn and a dark red mane.

Meanwhile in Ponyville Applejack, Pinkie, Dash and Fluttershy were talking when Rarity ran up to him.

"Ponies have you seen Harry anywhere?" asked Rarity "I made the most marvellous outfit for him but he ran away before I could get him to try it out, so have you seen them?"

They shook their heads and Applejack said "no Rarity but we will help you find him."

They then went off to search for Harry. On a tree which was just beside him Harry took of his invisibility cloak which he was using to hide from Rarity.

"I saw that outfit Rarity made for me and I won't be caught dead in that!" thought Harry and with his cloak in his mouth he sneaked off to Twilight's house to hide.

He entered to see Twilight looking at an album on the floor. Twilight then noticed Harry and gasped. She then began to panic and said "oh-sorry Harry...please don't be mad...I know I shouldn't have but I-I saw this album with your stuff-"

"It's alright Twilight" said Harry coming up next to her "but if you wanted to see my stuff you could have at least asked first."

"Sorry" Twilight muttered looking guilty. The pages open showed baby Harry with his parents.

"Aww...you look so cute" cooed Twilight who then laughed at the glare Harry was giving her.

"This is what you humans look like?" asked Twilight "they are basically big monkeys with manes and clothes..."

"Hey you ponies aren't normal looking yourselves" said Harry.

"Wait a minute..." Twilight said "these only seem to be of you as a baby...where are the rest of the photos?"

"That's them all" said Harry.

"How is it there aren't any of you when you were older?" Twilight asked.

"That's all they took of me and my parents when..." Harry then looked down.

"When what?" asked Twilight asked.

"When...when..." Harry took a breath "when...they were still alive."

At this statement Twilight gasped. "I-I'm so sorry Harry, I shouldn't have asked" she stammered.

"It's alright" said Harry "I think you may have found out sooner or later."

"You were only a foal when it happened?" Twilight asked and Harry responded by saying "well a baby since we don't call young humans foals but yes."

"Was it some sort of accident?" Twilight asked.

Harry sighed and shook his head. "No they were..." Harry took a deep breath wondering how Twilight could react to the next part "they were...murdered"

Twilight's shock faced said it all. "What heartless fiend would make it so someone so young wouldn't be able to be raised without his parents?" asked Twilight.

"Well Twilight there is a lot of magic users in my world" said Harry "and not all of them are good! When I was about a baby there was one who went as bad as you can go. His name was Voldemort."

Harry continued his story "from what I know from stories I have heard he was power hungry and had had followers to carry out his plans. He was so fear even today people are actually scared to see his name. Apparently for some reason he wanted to kill me..."

"Why?" asked Twilight. From the sounds of it Voldemort could give Nightmare Moon and Discord a lesson in being evil.

"I don't know" said Harry "but for some reason he decided he wanted to kill a baby, so my parents went into hiding..."

Harry then grew angry "and the friend of theirs who they trusted with their location decided his own skin meant more to him than his friends...sold them out."

"WHAT?" asked Twilight appalled. Her friends meant a whole lot to her and the very idea of someone betraying her friends just to save themselves was just downright despicable.

"When he got to our house he-he-well you know" said Twilight "and he tried to kill me, but he couldn't and somehow he lost his form and his powers when he failed!"

"That doesn't make any sense" said Twilight "how could you survive that and how could he lose his powers?"

"No one knows how he was defeated" said Harry "but I kind of know how I survived. This is gonna sound corny but...it was my mum's love that saved me!"

Twilight looked at him incredulously. "Apparently love is a strong type of magic in my world" said Harry "and my mum did something to save me"

Twilight actually understood this. It was like the power of friendship in the Elements of Harmony.

"You see this?" Harry asked pointing to his scar "this was left behind when Voldemort tried to kill me, I had became famous as the Boy Who Lived!"

"So you grew up as a celebrity?" asked Twilight.

"Not quite" said Harry "I was raised by my mum's sister and her husband. Well they can't do magic and were quite boring and old fashioned. They hated anything they considered out of the ordinary-including magic!"

After looking at Twilight's shocked look Harry continued "they would even go berserk at the mention of the magic and tried to stop me from learning about magic, even lying about how my parents died. I guess it's a good thing I won't have to deal with them now."

"So this Voldemort person was an evil magic user" said Twilight.

"Yeah I actually came face to face with him twice" said Harry "a wreck of his former self but still very determined to regain power."

Twilight looked at her newest friend in awe. Between having his parents killed by some evil warlock, having to face this warlock, a meddling headmaster, distrustful friends, having his life on the line once a year and everything else he had to endure Twilight was shocked that he was able to cope.

Then suddenly Twilight engulfed Harry in a close hug. Twilight then let go making them both blush. They then realised the door was open and stood there was the other 5 of the Mane 6 looking on with their jaws dropped.

"How much did you hear?" asked Harry.

"...enough..." said Rainbow Dash. Then the 5 then rushed in and hugged Harry hard themselves.

"...can't...breathe..." said Harry and they let go.

Spike then came through the door with a letter from Princess Celestia. Spike opened up the letter and read it out loud:

My faithful student Twilight Sparkle

I am thinking your new friend Harry may need help learning how to use unicorn magic, so if you are up to the responsibility I am placing you as his magic tutor. If you want me or Luna can come up to Ponyville and help you. Speaking of Luna, she told me about that night she spent with Harry and it really does mean a lot for her to know someponies appreciate the hard working she does with the nights. I await for your response.

Your teacher Princess Celestia

"Well what do you think Harry?" asked Twilight.

"I won't mind learning from you" said Harry. "I can't believe I just said that! Nuts, I am channelling Hermione!" he thought.

"I am up for it as well" said Twilight.

She then got Spike to take a letter while she dictated her response saying neither she or Harry would mind the tutoring.
