The black haired boy woke suddenly as if shot, he got up so fast he hit his head on the solid shelf that he had put up on his wall last spring.

"YOU … BOY! Up... get UP! The boy's first instinct was that the voice was his uncles but on further deliberation he recognised the voice of his uncle's best friend Toby sanders. He closed his eyes and let out a small sigh, that man was not pleasant, one of natures fare mistakes there was no pity no ramose nothing human in that man and he was over nearly every day.

CRACK the door of his room flow open. The boy's eyes still closed as the man stepped into his room and slowly walked over to the boy's bed,

Toby leaned over so his mouth was inches from the boy's ear.

"What you doin boy, messin me around like this… I said UP!" with that he grabbed the ear and palled the boy of the bed slapping him one around his face.

"Your uncle wants ya" with that he stepped out of his room laughing to himself. That was this boys everyday routine his world was fall of violence, swearing and fear.

"So what's your name dear" the smiling woman said kindly. It was 3. 00 Tuesday afternoon, nearly home time thought the boy. He hated school they always got into his home life, interfering in things and asking him stupid questions. With a sigh he answered. "Harry … Harry Potter" he looked up at her face she was still smiling looking so care free she wont never understand shell only send me away he thought to himself.

"Well ok Harry this won't take long. Do you like school?"

"Its all right suppose"

"Do you have a lot of friends?"

She was still smiling. Harry had friends but they were always in trouble were rude and would steal whenever they had the chance, they all lived on the same street as him the "doggy" part of town as people would call it.

"I have a few" face blank Harry reapplied

"Are they nice?"

"To me they are"

"And want about home? They all nice?"

He new they would get to that they always did.

"yer there fine, we play games and joke around you no normal family stuff" he lied looking back at the clock as she rote notes on her clipboard, 3. 15 nearly time to go.

"So you like it there?"

"Yes, look can I go I need to pack away my stuff and get back to class so I can go on time" Harry said hoping he could leave

"Ok she said softly, see you soon" Harry leapt up and walk though the door before she could say anything else.
