Prov 1/ chapter 1 Boy's pov.
It's the 15th of the 8th 1998. (A.n: that's DAY month year.)
-Hello this is the first thing I've ever had that's like a diary or journal to write in…
I'm Harry, its short for Harold although the people (A.n: If they can be classed as human) that I'm forced to live with call me Boy or Freak.
I'm six years old and live at number 4 privet drive. I started to go to school with Baby Whale (A.n: B.W for short) a couple months ago.
Baby whale is the son of the Things I have to live with. The Things I live with are called Vernon Dursley and Petunia Dursley, Their son is called Dudley but I prefer to think of him as Baby whale as that's what he resembles the most. (A.n: No offence meant to said creatures.)
Vernon, Petunia and Dudley are supposed to be my adoptive Uncle, Aunt and Cousin, though what they have done to me can't class them as being human never mind being related to me, but luckily not by blood.
I'm quite smart for a six-year-old, well I think I am.
I know I'm not a freak, I'm a wizard if you are a witch or wizard and are reading this you may be shocked with the more you read, as I am sure someone will read this eventually. If you are wondering how on earth a small magical child was left in the muggle world please read on.
And yes I know what wizards call non-magical persons and I know I was left with a magic-hating family, who would rather I be dead than look after me or know I even exist. Well, I'll tell you how I found out about my family and that I truly don't belong here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~- (FLASHBACK) -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A young boy that looked around three years old with un-kempt jet-black hair and startling green eyes; wearing clothes that were several sizes too big for him was up in the attic of number four privet drive, this young boy is called Harry.
Now young Harry had been forced into the attic with orders of cleaning it out and organizing through boxes, bags and financial files.
Not long after Harry had finished with the boxes closest to the attic opening he moved further back into the darker recesses of the attic only to find more hidden boxes, after looking through a couple only to find old clothes and fine China he found a box pushed as far back as it would go covered in layers of dust showing it had been there since the Dursleys had moved in.
Harry being the curious young boy he was blew off some of the dust before squeezing his small fingers into the split where both flaps of the top of the box met and pulling them open saw that inside the box was a bunch of hard backed books and weird looking paper like something used back in the age of the medieval to write on.
Harry reached into the box and pulled out a red book that had part of the cover torn, having a look at the title he read 'Beginners guide to potions" the title although a little faded was still readable, after reading the title he tucked it into one of the many folds of his oversized shirt to read later before pulling more books out and reading the titles 'Advanced transfiguration book 1 to 3, How to become an animagus, Quidditch through the ages, Fantastic beasts & where to find them, and 1001 useful charms and spell's for around the house', after a moment he tucked the first two books into his shirt with the other before placing the rest on the floor of the attic next to the box, he then rummaged around deeper into the box seeing feathers and small black pots with corks in, along with what looked like an old broken broom, after digging deeper in the book his hand felt the spines of what felt like two leather bound books, gripping onto them he pulled them through the bits and bobs and was shocked at the colour on the books.
One of the books was bright red and had what looked like some sort of family crest on it, the other was dark green with nothing on the cover. After looking into the green book first since green was Harrys favourite colour he found the book to be completely empty.
Deciding to look through the other book later with the others he tucked them into his shirt with the others before hastily replacing the other books back into the box and sticking the box back as though it hadn't been touched.
After pushing some boxes back in front of the other box he quickly made his way over to the attic entrance as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
Later that day when Harry was locked in his cupboard under the stairs he turned on his little lamp and grabbed one of the old shirts that didn't fit him along with a sewing kit he had stolen when his aunt hadn't been looking and fashioned himself a little bag like one he saw his cousin had before placing his hidden books into the bag and hiding them under his little mattress leaving out the book with the crest on it.
As Harry opened the book he noticed there was a piece of the same strange paper that was in the box; folded up and tucked into the faded binding of the cover. Harry decided to have a look at the paper first before reading the rest of the book.
After unfolding the long piece of paper Harry read:
(A.n: Just so you all know I have never seen and have no clue what a real adoption paper looks like.)
Terms and conditions.
(A.n: Ill skip these for now and jump to the interesting part the terms and conditions will come up sometime later in the story)

After reading this Harry was shocked to find out he was adopted.
After a moment Harry folded the paper back up and stuck it back into the book where he had got it from.
His head spun as he realised that the people he had been placed with were not related to him by blood after all.
Silent tears ran down his cheeks as he realised that he had family out there somewhere and he promised himself that he would find them.
Harry vowed to himself he would also find out who he really was.
He would start by reading the book with the hope that it might give him some clue as to who he was.
As Harry read the book late into the night he learned more about the world than he realised was real, he had been reading lily's diary he realised as he continued to read.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_~(End flash back)~_~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every night from then I read more of Lily's diary and learned that she was a Witch and so was my Paternal father Severus, He was a wizard they were friends when lily was young. I eventually realised that, that is what I must be as well, A Wizard, since very odd things happened around me.
I decided earlier today after another strange thing happened that I would write about my life, what happens around me and my hopes.
I'm writing in one of the other books I had brought down from the attic, I've also read some of the other books; I keep them hidden as best as I can.
I must get some sleep now or I won't be able to do the chores tomorrow. I'll write again soon.
A.n: And so I have re-re-writen the entire chapter again (3rd times the charm)
Hope it's readable and you enjoyed it.
More will be up soon as I re-read and re-edit all the current chapters.
sorry this storys been on hiatus.
Please R&R and tell me if this is a better chapter than the original.
Ja all.
