Chapter 1 God's Salvation
We see a house in the street of Little Whining which houses a unique individual from the others. It houses a wizard. Not just any wizard but the most powerful one that would be loved and feared by people for many years to come. But at the moment, the wizard is still a boy whose life is harsh and cruel by the cause of his relatives. But soon, God will save him from the misery of his home and bring justice to relatives.
In the house, we see a small room under the staircase with its door ajar which reveals a malnourished boy with raven black hair and a notable lightning scar on his forehead. His birth name was Harry but he is often called brat or freak. He was currently reading a book, a thick one which was black and it had many markings on its pages for chapters. Its title was written in bold gold words which say: "The Holy Bible". Young Harry was very much fascinated about the stories withheld in the book. In fact, he uses this to escape his horrible life through learning about Christianity. He himself is a Christian and a very devoted one at that. He is a prayerful one and attends Sunday Mass every time, sneaking out in the silence of the night. He follows The Commandments meaningfully and does not resent his relatives but is saddened about their treatment of him.
He was currently reading Jesus' Resurrection when he heard a knock at the door. Who might that be? Wondered Harry while placing a book mark on the page he was in and returning the book to its resting place. Harry then got up and straightened himself to make him look presentable in his current state before going straight to the door and opening it.
He saw tall aged man that looked liked in his mid-fifties with balding head and a pair of glasses like Harry. He was wearing a pair of white pants along with a white shirt with: "Love God and His Creation." imprinted on it. After looking at the man's face, Harry quickly recognized him as Reverend Miller who hosted both the Evening Mass and confession on Sunday.
"Reverend Miller, what a surprise seeing you here." Said Harry in mild surprise.
"Ah young Hadrian, so good to see you on this lovely Saturday morning." Replied R. Miller while smiling warmly at Harry. Harry let a small smile show. Harry did prefer being called Hadrian instead of Harry.
"To you as well Reverend. May I inquire the reason of your visit to this household?" Asked Harry, not wanting to come out rude or harsh in his choice of words. Since he could not play like a normal child, he instead found solace in pursuing not only about Christianity but also knowledge. Because of this, he has a very remarkable vocabulary for his age. R. Miller just smiled at this.
"I myself do not know young Hadrian. I just received a vision from God to come here." Said truthfully to Harry. Since Harry grew up alone with the exception of the groups of people who whisper about him and bully, he acquired a skill that lets him know the intentions of those around him and to know if they are lying or not. Harry did not need this since he trusts the Reverend to be truthful.
"May I come in?" Asked the Reverend.
"I would let you in Father but unfortunately, I am not in any place allowed to let any of my guests enter this household." Said Harry with sadness clearly at his tone.
"Why is that young Hadrian? Surely your parents allow you to let your friends and guests in if they allow you to go to Mass alone." Said the Reverend curiously.
"I do not mean to be disrespectful but my parents have past on to the Lord's kingdom above while I was still an infant." Replied Harry with such sadness.
"You have not disrespected me young Hadrian. I am sorry of your lose. Tell me Hadrian, do the people here treat you badly?" Asked R. Miller seriously. Harry knew that he should not lie especially to the Reverend so he opted to tell the truth.
"My relatives... beat me everyday giving me bruises which would heal quickly from which they would beat me again." Harry started with his voice wavering slightly.
"They starve me for days, locking me up in the cupboard under the staircase." Harry was now letting tears drop.
"They call me derogatory names when they address me to do numerous chores." Harry now found himself enveloped in the arms of the old Reverend.
"Please help me Father." Harry sobbed.
"My son," R. Miller started, his voice sincere.
"I now know why the Lord told me to go here. He told me to save you from this place where you are suffering." Said the Reverend.
"Do not worry my son, I will take care of you like you were my own." Added R. Miller.
"Take your belongings and pack them. I will bring you to your new home where you will be loved and cared for.
" Said R. Miller before releasing his arms around Harry who nodded and went towards the cupboard. Several seconds has passed when Harry came out of his room bringing with him a Bible and several other books about different subjects.
" Are you ready Hadrian?" Asked R. Miller. Harry nodded and they went on their way towards the church's local orphanage.
A few days passed when news came that the Dursleys were arrested for child abuse and attempted murder and their child sent to juvenile which all of them sentenced for a lifetime inside prison.
Meanwhile, Harry was being introduced to his new family in the orphanage. Sister Gwen, a young and new addition to the Church was currently introducing Harry to the rest of the children.
"Children, we have a new member of our family. He's a little shy but I'm sure you will have fun with him. So young man, what's your name?" She asked kneeling down to his height.
Harry was silent for a while before finally answering. "Hadrian... My name is Hadrian." Harry said with a genuine smile
