Chapter 1: New living situations
Lily and James Potter knew they were marked for death so they went into hiding when Lily was pregnant with twins. Hiding did no good however; their friend Peter Pettigrew betrayed them to save his own life. Lord Voldemort found them, when the twins were 1 years old, and killed them and turned his wand towards the children. Lily gave her life to protect her babies so when he tried killing them his spell rebounded and hit him instead. Which left Lord Voldemort's powers diminished and Harry and Lorraine Potter with lightning bolt shaped scars on their foreheads and they would be known to the Wizarding world as the girl and boy who lived.
Professor Dumbledore left them on Lily's sister Petunia's doorstep with a letter describing why she needed to keep them. Petunia wanted to keep them but her husband Vernon decided that since they had their own son they would only keep one of them. Petunia wanted to keep the girl since she could not have anymore children and she had always wanted a girl but Vernon decided that the boy would be better for their son Dudley's sake. Petunia couldn't argue with him because once he made up his mind, it was made up and there was no changing it.
She asked Vernon what they would do with the girl and he said they would send her off to an orphanage. That way Harry and Lorraine would never know they were twins and the Dursleys wouldn't have to deal with two Potter brats instead of the one. So Petunia picked up Lorraine in her arms and drove her to an all girls orphanage and wished her luck and that she hoped Lorraine would grow up happy with lots of friends. Petunia then kissed her forehead placed her on the doorstep, rang the doorbell and drove off leaving her niece behind.
The orphanage owner Miss Samantha opened the door to find a little one year old girl wrapped up in blankets on her doorstep. The name on the top blanket said Lorraine so Miss Samantha took her inside and put her with the other toddlers in a room and decided she'd introduce her when they all woke up. She knew the girl would be happy here because all of the girls seemed to be very friendly with each other and they were all friends. When she was looking at the girl she saw something underneath the little tuft of hair that was sticking out, she moved it to reveal a lightning bolt scar on the right side of her forehead. How odd she thought to herself and then placed the soft hair back in place and then walked out of the room to begin her morning routine.
When Petunia got back she began her morning routine of getting Dudley ready which usually took about an hour seeing as Dudley was as stubborn as Vernon was. She asked Vernon where Harry was only to find out that he had stuck Harry in the cupboard under the stairs and decided that would be his bedroom since Dudley used the spare bedroom as a playroom. She didn't agree and she complained about it saying he needed to be somewhere more open so he doesn't suffocate and Vernon grudgingly agreed to let Harry have the spare bedroom much to Dudley's dismay.
When Harry was three however he had managed to somehow make Dudley shut his mouth when he was picking on Harry and Vernon instantly put him in the cupboard under the stairs as his room from then on. After Harry was in the cupboard Dudley had the use of his mouth again and so he used it to insult Harry through the locked door of the cupboard. Harry's life from that day forward became a living hell; he'd get locked in his cupboard for punishment almost everyday for no reason, at the age of five he was forced to start cooking for the family, and if he cooked something wrong he was sent to his cupboard for at least two days with no food. Harry was set a list of chores everyday that had to be completed and if he didn't he was locked in his cupboard for the night with no dinner.
Every night he daydreamed about some unknown relation coming to take him away but it never happened. He wished he had someone out there who cared for him but he knew he'd never have his way; this was how life was always going to be he thought to himself one night and then cried himself to sleep.
