A/N: So I've decided to write a Slytherin!Harry fic. And what's better yet: it'll be a multi-chap! Yay! Anyway, this is for the Favorite House Boot Camp challenge over on HPFC. Ch 1 uses the prompt scar. Also, for the What Is Harry Potter All About Challenge.

Harry asks the Dursleys the story behind his scar, and is greeted with a lie.

OoO

Harry lay in his cupboard. There was no light coming from the hallway of number four, Privet Drive. Good, Harry thought. The Dursleys must be asleep.

Easing the cupboard door open, he ran as quickly and as quietly as he could. It would not be good for Harry if the Dursleys were to wake up and catch him stealing food. Harry grabbed just enough to tide him over through the night, before creeping silently back to the cupboard under the stairs.

An ordinary, summer Wednesday morning, just after Uncle Vernon left for work, found Harry in the kitchen, cleaning up after breakfast. Once he had scrubbed the pans – twice – Harry made his way into the Dursley's sitting room.

Upon his entrance, Aunt Petunia barked: "Dust the mantle."

Harry rolled his eyes, but nodded and grabbed his rag. Aunt Petunia sat on the couch, sipping her tea. Harry shot a glare back at her, which he quickly stifled at a raised eyebrow from his aunt.

Suddenly, a thought struck Harry. This particular thought, Harry had considered many times before, but he had never discussed it with the Dursleys.

"Erm… Aunt Petunia?" Harry started nervously.

"Hmm?" she replied. Harry immediately felt relieved. She had never come so close to answering one of Harry's questions before.

"I was wondering… erm… How did I get my scar?" Harry finished tentatively.

She paused for half a second, but then regained her composure. "In the car crash, when your parents died. Now don't ask questions," she snapped.

Harry honestly hadn't expected much of an answer, though he figured he'd ask. Another thought occurred to him, but this one he dared not voice.

If my parents died in a car crash, why've I no memories of a car crash? I have this one recurring memory, with a lot of green light. But as far as I'm concerned, blasts of green light and car crashes aren't really related.

Harry supposed he'd better hold his questions. Rule number one in the Dursley household: 'Don't ask questions.'

But Harry knew there was something odd about his scar.

TBC…

A.N: So what d'you think? Let me know in a review, pretty please! As I mentioned earlier, this is for a boot camp, therefore there will be at least 50 chapters here. If you don't like something/have some con-crit, let me know now! As I said before, this will be a Slytherin!Harry fic, but I've decided to add a little background information, though the pre-Hogwarts stuff will be the same as canon. I'm only changing the Sorting (and what comes after that, obviously), so the events before that won't change. That makes sense, right? Thanks to Lady and her wonderful Well of Titles topic on HPFC for the fic title! This A/N's becoming longer than the actual chapter, so: Please review!
