Hi, this is my first fanfic (that I've posted) so please review and give me some tips. I would prefer CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, as flames will either be ignored or used to make s'mores. Yum!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter characters, places, or ideas, (I wish), and am not receiving any profit from this story. Duh!

Well, here it goes. Wish me luck.

Chapter One:

A young boy sat on a swing, listlisly pushing himself back and forth. His head jerked up as a cry cut through the silence. Harry Potter (for that was the young boy's name) quickly noticed a group of boys surrounding a little girl. The group of bullies, led by Harry's horrid cousin Dudley, closed in aroung the crying girl.

"Let mo go!" the girl cried, desperately trying to break away from the boys holding her. "No way!" Dudley answered, "This will teach to you to stop trying to show me up!" The gang began to pinch and punch the little one, as she retaliated by trying to kick all of them.

Harry suddenly couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up to do something about the bullying. "Leave her alone, Dudley!" he shouted, walking towards the group. "Oh look," Dudley snarled, "It's the freak, trying to spoil our fun!"

The distraction was enough, for the little girl promptly kicked Dudley and ran away, with Harry quickly following. When they realized their prey was escaping, the gang of bullies immediately began to chase them. Unfortunately for them, the ones they were chasing had a head start and were much faster.

When Harry and the girl were well away from Dudley and his followers, they stopped running and looked at each other shyly. "Hi, I'm Amy," the young girl said softly, "I'm three." "I'm Harry," Harry answered, "I'm four." And that was the start of a long and happy friendship.

Well, what do you think, I know it's short, but it's more of an introduction, and ?I want to know what you think before I continue. Review and let me know, even if you hate it! See ya, Quirks.
