Hey guys I am not dead! I promise that I am still working on my other story, but after so long away from it I can't remember where I was going with it. If anyone has an idea where it could go let me know and I will consider it, Just a warning though I don't write slash so no ideas in that direction. In the meantime I just discovered the Darren Shan saga and am loving it. Unfortunately I only have access to the manga and the movie, so sorry if I offend any fans of the book. Hey does anyone know how the whole beta thing works? I really need one
Disclaimer- I own nothing of either of these franchises. I am only a humble dabbler making up these stories for fun. no money is being mad e with this.
Summary: harries a freak let's see what happens
The cirque gets a new member
Little Harry was a freak. He knew this because he had been called that for as long as he could remember. His relatives mad very sure that he knew what he was. He was the freak, the burden, the useless waste of space. They told him this and beat it in to him as if the message was not clear enough to begin with. The little six year old had no escape from the hell hole that was his home, he did not even have the escape of school. The year before, when he was suppose to start school something happened that only proved his freakishness and caused his aunt and uncle to treat him worse.
(flashback)
Five year old harry was so excited, he had just been told he would be starting kindergarten in just a few weeks. Nothing could take the smile off his face, he ignored the scathing comments from his aunt Petunia that he was to stupid for school and if it wasn't free she would never signed the little brain dead freak up for school. It was all harry could think about. He was looking forward to meeting the other children, the teachers, and the books,, oh the books were the biggest thing he was looking forward to. Harry despite what everyone thought was very smart, He had been able to read from the age of three. How else could he have kept up to the demands for different dinners every night if he could not read his aunts cook books? That's right little tiny Harry, the boy who could not have been taller than a three year old cooked. In fact he did all the meals. He also had to clean the house, tend the garden, and any other thing his aunt and uncle could think of on a daily basis.
So to say little Harry was excited was an understatement. Sure he would have less time to finish his chores, sure this would lead to more punishments(i.e. a beating), but in the end it would all be worth it to go to school. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, no matter how brief the good thing is. Four days before his first day of school Harry was working in his aunts garden when a furious uncle Vernon came boiling out of the house.
"BOY! Get your freakish little ass over here now! How dare you! How dare you, you worthless little bastard! After all we have done for you. We took you in when no else wanted you useless hide, and this is how you repay me!"
Of course Harry had no idea what Uncle Vernon was talking about, but that never stopped his relatives from punishing him.
"Its all your fault! Its your fault I lost my job. You used your freakishness on my boss and got me fired! Well I won't have it, I won't have it any more! I will finally beat the weirdness out of you, even if it kills you!"
Vernon grabbed the shovel that was leaning against the garden shed and proceeded to swing at harry. He hit him in the stomach first, followed by a hit to Harry's left leg. A loud snap and a scream were signs the leg was now broken. Vernon kept swinging, kicking and swearing as pools of blood started forming around the little body on the ground. Harry started screaming and crying out.
"Stop! No , please stop. Someone please help me."
No one heard the cries. Unknown to Harry no human could see or hear anything going on in that yard, but the reason for this will be mentioned later. What did hear his cry where some small local animals and the plants in his aunts garden that he had been lovingly taken care of. Now most people would not think a few small animals like mice, spiders, a stray dog, and some garden plants would do much for a human, and they would be right, in most cases. This was not one of those cases. Unknown to the two humans the plants and animals were reacting strangely. The mice in the garden ran up Vernon's pant leg while the dog ran up and bit the handle off the shovel. Vernon screamed in fright and finally noticed the mice in his clothes when they started to bite. The clematis on the garden walls left their places and wrapped around Vernon's legs while a rose bush slowly dragged Harris broken and now unconscious body in to its branches. The rose bush then grew thicker with large thorns poking out making an impenetrable barrier. When Harry was safe with in the rose bush the other creatures withdrew from Vernon leaving him free to run screaming to the house, yelling about the freak. Harry was not seen for two days, and when he was all hope of an escape within school was lost.
(end flashback)
When Harry had emerged from the protection of the rose bush he was healed, but that was not all. Harry's skin was now green. When Harry had been within the rose the plants and creatures had worked to heal him. The spiders who he had been kind to had first bandaged his wounds with their silk. The plants sensing their caretaker had lost a lot of blood donated some of their energy and fluids to help keep his body going. How this was done, no one knows, but when magic is involved, even unknowingly anything can happen. A side effect of the transfusion was harries skin turned the same green as chlorophyll in a plants body. Nature wanted to help protect harry, so it changed him even more to help him survive. First it destroyed harries wizard magic. In a normal wizard this would have caused death, but harry had another magic hidden in his genes. With the destruction of his wizard magic Nature was able to bring his other power forward. The ability to control nature or at least the things within nature. He cold now talk to all things in nature be they plant or animal, he could ask favors of any creature and he could make plants grow however he wished. Now don't get excited he was not some all powerful being. Just a child gifted by mother nature with gifts that would grow with him, that he would have to learn to control.
The Dursleys had been so angry they thought they had been rid of him. If his treatment before was bad it was now ten times worse. With his new green skin he could not go to school. His aunt called and told the school that some other family members had come forward and had taken him. No one asked any questions. The Dursleys did not even let Harry in the house anymore and made him stay in the garden shed. They only let him out at night when no one could see him, and feed him even less than before. Harry had no problem with no one seeing him. Due to his treatment he now feared all adults and stayed clear of his family as much as possible. After a year of this treatment, six year old harry had enough. He ran away.
SO how is it? A little rushed I know I typed it out in an hour and I still need a beta. I will probably rewrite this later.
