Disclaimer: I own nothing JKR owns Harry not me. Anything you don't recognize is mine. I might toss in elements from other sources I will mention it when necessary.
A/N: This is my first story ever so be genital. I have read Fan Fiction for a long time now however so I hope it isn't too horrible. As you will probably pick up on this story has no beta so excuse the spelling and grammar mistakes. This chapter will be short and in the third person. It will introduce the Dursleys who I always felt needed to be more human faults rater than just being plain evil.
A/N2: After rereading my story so far, at the recomidation of the reveiwers, I desided to change the most glaring mistakes.
1: Meet Number Four
Harry Potter was different and not the usual kind of different that one expects to happens across occasionally either. No, just by meeting him you would think him a polite if not a bit shy and intelligent little boy. You might think it odd that he wore broken glasses and clothes that where almost comically to large for him. The only noticeable sign of his strangeness is his lightning shaped scar on his forehead and intense emerald eyes, which seamed to smolder like the coals of a bond fire.
Why, you ask, is he so different then? Well to under stand Harry you must first understand his environment. Harry lived with his "family" the Dursleys at Number Four Privet Drive; he had for as long as he could remember. The Dursleys where made up of his Aunt Petunia, his Uncle Vernon and his cousin Dudley. Petunia was blond, thin (almost emaciated) and had a vary long neck. She was vary jealous individual which led to an obsessive need to spread viscous rumors and spy on the neighbors. Vernon almost the polar opposite of his wife he was big, beefy man with hardly any neck and an impressive mustache. Vernon was a deeply insecure man which lead to an intensely uncompromising, uncaring, and often aggressive attitude towards those he feels of a lesser status than himself. This insecurity also leads too hyper competitiveness and a strong need to appear normal to those of equal status. To those of grater status and or those he needs something from Vernon is a polite and friendly yes-man. Dudley was much the same as his father sans the mustache and the fact that he showed every sign of becoming fatter than he was tall down the road. Dudley is a spoiled child who never developed any intellectual curiosity, imagination, or work ethic (or any other type for that mater). He had never been told or shown he was or indeed could be any thing but perfect. Dudley inherited the same faults as both his parents except he targeted those he was jealous of by physically harming them thus asserting himself as superior to them and nobody fell into the categories of equal of grater statues. Dudley also fails to see other people as capable of thoughts and emotions therefore he feels no remorse for any of the pain he causes.
Living in this kind of environment Harry learned to show others what they wanted to see. To the teachers at school he was a socially inept, quite, well-behaved student. To the community he was a ruffian that was to be avoided and ostracized. To the Dursleys he was meek and subservient child to boss around. He became detached, calculating and deceptive. He knew one day he would rise up and become more than any of these fools could ever dream of, because he knew he was different.
The Dursleys all hated anything that might associate them with "abnormality". They simply could not stand to be associated with it. They were in for a rough few years because Harry was about as unDersley-ish as it is possible to get. You see Harry was MAGICAL.
A/n: So how did I do? Should I continue? I know it was short but it is only the intro, the next one will be longer. From now on it will switch over to Harry's POV.
