Someone to Rely on

A/N: Please read this before you actually read the story, but this is just a preview of what I was going to write...
This is my FIRST Harry Potter fic, and because I'm a really bad writer, I'm in desperate need of a beta reader. Please PM me or Review if your interested. =)
Oh, and I'm not sure who to pair Harry up with so please vote =P

The votes will be at the end of the story ^^

Summary: Harry was abused as a child, and he won't open up to anyone. Will someone enter his life and change him for the good? Or will he continue to stay in his shell? Pairings on vote…

Warning!: (cuz someone reminded me o-o;;) If Boy x Boy offends you, DON'T READ! Erm... yeah...

Disclaimer!: I don't own Harry Potter =)

Chapter one:

Harry's Point.

"You no good piece of shit!" Uncle Vernon did his usual douse of beating me until I felt numb all over my body, deep in my bones. I bit my lips, holding in the screams I wanted to let out for so long. I had to let him do as he pleased, or I knew I wasn't going to get any food, and since it's been almost a week without anything to eat, I was desperate. Uncle kicked me one last time before going back into the kitchen with his sickly wife and poor excuse of a child. I stayed on the ground until my uncle was out of my sight completely. Lifting myself up from the cold marble floor, I carefully opened the door to my 'room' under the stairs and cuddled myself. I wasn't sure why, but the Dursley's couldn't hear me when I was in my room, even if I was screaming my lungs out. It was like magic... Holding onto myself tightly, I fell asleep drenched in my own tears; I've given up on life, on hope, on dreams, just living hell…

General Point

As Harry got up and trudged over to the door where the usual stack of mail was so that he could get the mail delivered into the kitchen where his Uncle was currently eating away like there was no tomorrow. He looked through the mail to find an old fashioned letter among all the other ones, addressed to him. He stopped right behind the kitchen door and slid the letter in his back pocket making sure it wasn't visible and walked through the door acting as if nothing had happened. Vernon eyed him before snatching the letters from his hands.

"Go back to your room boy!" Harry nodded and immediately turned to leave before catching a glimpse of his cousin Dudley throwing a tantrum about his amount of presents.

"MOM! BUT LAST YEAR I HAD 38!" Dudley wailed and glared at his mother. Petunia's lips thinned even more than they were before and pat her son on the back soothingly.

"Don't worry Diddums, Mummy and Daddy will buy you 2 more presents at the zoo." Dudley perked up at the sound of that and Harry could clearly see the victory smirk which spread on his face. Harry mentally let out a bitter laugh and proceeded on leaving the kitchen and into his 'room'.

Harry took out the letter which was in his back pocket and carefully opened it.

Harry blinked twice before reading the rest.

It took a while for Harry to register what was going on. A wizard? There was no way… He read the letter over to himself and decided it was just a prank so he stored it in one of his very little book collections and curled up on his pillow.
