Simple, really. Also this story is Non-Magic. Any and all flames will be given tomy cat so she can singe off even more of her whiskers. I do appreciateconstructive criticism and any good reviews, so FEED ME!!!Ok on with the story!
Harry Potter sighed and looked wistfully out of the window of his new
room. His family had just moved towns to "start anew" as his mother had put it.
Harry, however, knew the real reason they had moved. His mother, Lilly, had had
moved to get away from one of her biggest mistakes. She had had an affair with a
man she worked with. Of course it was only after the affair happened that Lilly
realized it had been a stupid thing to do. Harry's father, James, had found out
about it and, after many arguments, the couple decided to move away to keep
Lilly from temptation. Harry had a feeling that as soon as his little sister Rose was
in college, Lilly and James would be getting a divorce.
Harry had two siblings, a sister and a brother. Rose was fourteen, Michael was seventeen, and Harry was
sixteen. Michael was the perfect son. Popular, star football player (British football
not American), handsome, average grades, etc. Rose was the perfect daughter.
Stunningly pretty, captain of the cheerleading team, head of the drama
department, and all that jazz. Both had red hair and brown eyes and could have
been twins.
Harry was decidedly different from his siblings not only in looks, but
also in personality. Harry, at first glance, was a carbon copy of James, If you
looked a bit closer, you could see the subtle differences between the two. While
James's hair was a pure jet black, in Harry's you could detect a slight read tint.
Also, Harry's skin was paler, his cheek bones where more pronounced, and he
was overall more feminine. The only major difference was their eye colors. James
had eyes were a deep brown color while Harry's were a bright emerald green just
like Lilly's.
Harry was one of those kids who you just didn't notice. He wasn't
"goth" or "emo" even though he wore black on a regular basis. He just passed
through life invisible to everyone, frequently even to his own family.
Currently, Harry was extremely irritated. His first day at a new school was
tomorrow. He knew that it would be just like his old school. His siblings would
be popular as always and he would be the one pushed to the side. His brother and
sister were always in the spotlight. When he was younger, Harry had tried to get
his parents' attention. He had joined all sorts of clubs and teams and had even
tried getting in trouble on purpose. None of that had worked. Occasionally, he
would get some praise for his grade, which were always straight A's, but would
then be shot down by "See Michael? We knew you'd get that D to a C!" or "Only
one C this time Rose! Great work!" Harry's parents sure knew how to shoot down
one's self-confidence a few pegs.
Harry sighed again and looked at his stereo. The clock read 11:45 p.m. Harry decided he had better get some sleep
for tomorrow's torture and settled down for an uneasy night of rest. After what seemed like a few minutes, My
Chemical Romance's Sleep was blaring through the radio.
"Well I can't exactly go to sleep if I'm obligated to be at school now can I?"
muttered Harry to himself in response to the song's lyrics. Harry got dressed in
an ACDC T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans with his old, worn out, black Converses on. He
ambled downstairs, grabbed a piece of toast off the plate on the counter and
headed out the door without so much as a 'see you later' to his parents. He
hopped in his little black Ford Taurus and drove himself to school.
When he got there, he chose a parking space close to the school's office
and got out. As he headed up the steps leading into the building, he could have
sworn that the sign at the front of the school had read 'Hogwarts High School:
Welcome Back to Hell!'
A/N: So? What did you think? Would you like me to continue with the
story? If so I would like some ideas for the next chapter.
