Weathered Changes
A Short, Mildly Sarcastic, Intro
On a boring street, where all the houses are almost identical, and the only differences are the plans growing around them, live boring, ordinary, families. At least, that is what one family in particular would have others believe. You see, the Dursley's would be considered perfectly (boringly) ordinary. A married (straight) couple and their young son.
Unfortunately for them, they will always be anything but ordinary. A tall skinny woman, with a long neck for looking over fences and bushes. Kinda horse or giraffe like. A large, fat man, with a thick mustache and little neck. Looked a bit like a walrus. And a boy who was as wide as he was tall. Looked like a pig in a wig that could out-weigh and out-bully a wild boar, who was well on his way to rivaling the weight of a baby whale.
They try to act normal, but they aren't. they have a dark secret. And that secret is what this story is about. After all, what ordinary, perfectly...normal...family keep a small three year old boy in a cupboard? Not any. At least, I hope not. That would be disturbing. But that is what these people do. That's right. They're keeping a three year old child inside a closet. A small closed...under some stairs...in a hallway...yea, you get the picture.
They keep him there to keep him out of sight. Him, and the bruises they inflicted on him. They hurt him to keep him downtrodden and in an attempt to 'beat the freakishness out of him.' The only thing that they had right about this child was that he wasn't normal. Not by the standards of their society. No, he's deffinetly not ordinary, because he is a young wizard. A future wand waving, magic using, potion brewing, broom flying, wizard. The counter part to a witch. Yet even by wizarding standards, he is not normal.
He's a rare, one of a kind, survivor of a curse that has killed thousands, perhaps millions, of people. And for that, he is known as the Boy-Who-Lived among this world's magical population. He's also known as their savior. That's right. This abused little boy, is considered their savior. Because he survived what most, including his parents, didn't.
But enough about that. Let's focus on that extraordinary, ordinary family, or more specifically, the little boy that they abuse.
AN: Yes, I know. It's short. *sigh* it may get longer in the future and this is my first story so please be kind and review.
Questions and compliments *hinthint* would be appreciated, rude flames will be flamed...publicly.
