Oldest ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' [[Fanfic]] on [[Fanfiction.net]], posted by Gypsy Silverleaf on September 4, 1999. May sort-of be the only pre-''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban|Azkaban]]'' fic in existence. The book hadn't come out yet in the United States (yes, Virginia, there was a time when ''Harry Potter'' books weren't released worldwide on the same day) and the American author was thus only vaguely aware of the storyline. This [[Jossed|explains a lot]].

The "man of unknown" is Professor Thomas Erwin, a teacher at another [[Wizarding School]], who seems to hate Harry for no apparent reason. Erwin was a well-loved man until Voldemort's downfall, after which he turned into a grouch and forbid the name "Harry Potter" from being spoken in his presence. It turns out {{spoiler|Erwin was James Potter's half-brother and that he's pissed because Harry got sent to live with [[Muggle Foster Parents|the Dursleys]] instead of him. [[My God, What Have I Done?|Realizing what a jerk he's become]], Erwin threatens to kill Dumbledore if he tells Harry the truth. The Ministry tries to arrest Erwin for this, but he escapes and lives out the rest of his life as a hermit before dying in misery. [[Downer Ending|The End]]}}.
