Chapter One - Freedom

In number four Privet Drive, there lived Harry Potter. He lived with his 'caring' family,

the Dursleys. I put sarcastic emphasis on the word 'caring' because living with them was

pure torture. His cousin beat him unconscious whenever he could, his aunt gave him so

much housework to do he was almost crying from exhaustion, and his uncle had gone

from beating him... to raping him. It didn't happen just the once, nor occasionally. It was

every night.

So that is why he was standing in front of his mirror, looking at the damage his 'family'

had done. He had a black eye, a broken wrist, three broken ribs, and various bruises

covering his body. Whenever he had a spare moment, he'd agonise over the death of his

godfather, Sirius Black. Just re-living the moment the closest thing to a father he'd ever

known was taken away from him.

He was suddenly fuming. He picked-up a book that was on his bedside table (Quidditch

Through the Ages) and threw it at the mirror. The crash that sounded when the mirror

shattered was a strangely satisfying sound, but it also made him thank Merlin the

Dursleys weren't home.

He wanted out, he wanted freedom. But it didn't look like he was going to get it anytime

soon. Suddenly, something snapped. 'I'm not gonna take this bullshit anymore. I've had

enough.' He bent to pick up a shard of mirror. 'This is it' He thought bitterly. 'The end of

the Boy-Who-Will-Not-Fucking-Die' Slowly, he brought the sharp edge to his left-wrist.

He drew a line of crimson from his skin. 'I'll finally see my parents and Sirius again.' His

vision started to go fuzzy. Falling to the floor, he thought he heard Remus Lupin

frantically calling his name. But as his eyes closed, he found he didn't care.

Well, you are most likely to refuse to read any more, but the next chapter starts making

everything better! No more morbid stuff I swear! I'll make you a deal, I'm gonna post

chapter two right now and you can see for yourself 'kay? REVIEW PLEASE!
