Chapter: 1

The Train Ride Home

Young Harry starred outside at the trees as the Hogwarts Express passed by them one by one. Thinking about what Hermione had said just a little while ago before they bordered for there long journey home.

"Going Home?" She asked as if it was the easiest thing to do in his whole life. To go home to where people didn't want him for who he was, and because Home meant going back to being Freak.

"No, Not really," Harry said as it wasn't a whole lie. He wasn't going home he was going to his own little hell. Little did Harry know that his little hell was about to get a whole lot worse once he left the safety of platform nine and three quarters that afternoon. With a grim expression, he watched the trees pass just outside his train compartment window. Hermione and Ron fast asleep next to him. tired from a full day of packing. Harry, on the other hand, was wide awake, not having to pack much for he owned very little.

Harry thumbed through the new scrapbook that Hagrid had given him before the long train ride home. Harry snorted at the thought of the Dursleys ever being home to him. Just then the Hogwarts Express brakes squealed to a stop as they reached platform nine and three quarters. Harry's sighed in defeat and gently placed his scrapbook back away in his trunk. looking over to his right he saw his friends still fast asleep. He chuckled lightly and knelt down on the compartment floor and gently shook Hermione's shoulders. as she began to wake she stretched and yawned. "Good morning sleepy head. We're here." Harry said with the best smile he could muster knowing that he had to go back to the Dursleys in mere moments. "Thanks, Harry," Hermione said with another yawn

"Don't worry about it. Hey, could you wake Ron for me?" Harry said with a genuine smile this time. "Sure thing Harry," Hermione said getting up while trying to stifle another yawn.

Harry got his truck from the carry on over apartments in the background Harry heard Ron ask in his sleep if breakfast was ready yet. Harry laughed when he turned around and saw Hermione now poking Ron's face trying and failing to wake him up.

"Let me handle this Hermione," Harry said trying to hide his amusement. Hermione looked at Harry with an I doubt that will work look.

"Ron, you're going to miss breakfast if you sleep any longer. "Harry said as Ron shot awake at that statement. with a triumph smirk from Harry and a, I can't believe that worked expression is written on Hermione's face Ron said "Oh are we here already? Wow, that was quick." not even caring that there wasn't any breakfast anywhere in sight. Knowing that there will be a full meal waiting for him when he got home. Ron's family didn't starve him. Unlike Harry's aunt and uncle.

eventually, the trio got off the Hogwarts Express and with one last goodbye to both Ron and Hermione. Harry slowly walked over to the Dursleys waiting car. His uncle practically jumped out of the car and yanked Hedwig's cage and Harry's School trunk from Harry's arms. shoving the Hogwarts School trunk and Hedwig's cage in the truck of the Dursleys car. at least Hedwig's not in her cage. Harry thought as he remembered that he told her to fly ahead. A whack upside the head brought Harry out of his thoughts.

"didn't you hear he freak? I said get into the damn car!" Harry's uncle yelled his face already turning purple in rage. Harry was brutally shoved into the back seat of the car, His head slamming on the metal door frame of his uncle's car. As the door was slammed and his family drove off to his "home". Harry thought with a silent sigh"This is going to be a rough summer." as city skyscrapers passed in the car window.

Sadly Harry had no clue how hard his summer would really be.

As Harry's family car sped off into the distance. Molly shook her head in frustration as she thought "How could that boy's family treat him that way. From what I can tell he did nothing wrong." Molly was snapped out of her thoughts by her second youngest saying "Harry will be fine Mom. His relatives were just mad that he got his Hogwarts letter. I'm sure they will get over it in no time." Looking down at her youngest boy she saw a reassuring smile on his face letting her know it would be alright.

Molly smiled back at her son, but for some reason, she had the feeling that it wouldn't be for that mysterious boy with raven black hair and emerald eyes.
