Harry Potter, Lord of Darkness
Disclaimer: I am not a British woman, I'm an American man. I make no money from writing, and am doing it purely for the love of Harry Potter, and wanting to see things differently.
The first but of chapter one should look familiar as it's straight out of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Chapter 1
"Dumbledore you can't. I've been watching them all day. You couldn't find two people who are less like us. And they've got this son — I saw him kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. Harry Potter come and live here!"
"It's the best place for him," said Dumbledore firmly. "His aunt and uncle will be able to explain everything to him when he's older. I've written them a letter."
"A letter?" repeated Professor McGonagall faintly, sitting back down on the wall. "Really, Dumbledore, you think you can explain all this in a letter? These people will never understand him! He'll be famous — a legend — I wouldn't be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter Day in the future — there will be books written about Harry — every child in our world will know his name!"
"Exactly," said Dumbledore, looking very seriously over the top of his half-moon glasses. "It would be enough to turn any boy's head. Famous before he can walk and talk! Famous for something he won't even remember! Can't you see how much better off he'll be, growing up away from all that until he's ready to take it?"
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, changed her mind, swallowed, and then said, "Yes — yes, you're right, of course."
After taking the child from Hagrid's massive arms, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of blankets. Inside, just visible, was a baby boy, fast asleep. Under a tuft of jet-black hair over his forehead they could see a curiously shaped cut, like a bolt of lightning.
This was the nightmare young Harry Potter commonly woke up from, but when he came to he always saw the same small room in the little London orphanage. Harry has asked the nun many times how he had gotten there and who his family was, but she always refused to tell him. Honestly she wished she could forget, but who could forget the family of pigs who had so much hate in their hearts they dumped him at an orphanage as a baby rather than raise him with their own child of the same age. This is what she had nightmares about.
"Just take the little freak, we don't want him anywhere near my little Dudders. My sister went and got herself killed, that doesn't mean we're going to raise the brat or deal with his abnormalities"
At the time sister Margaret couldn't find anything wrong with the boy, but as he grew up she started to see more and more things that scared her about Harry. It seems that pain and suffering were left behind him like wake in the ocean. He got bullied for years because of his size, but now nobody dared to tease him. The pain that followed the last time was a lesson nobody would forget.
"Sister Margaret, Harry has done something terrible. Samantha was chasing him, throwing rocked at him, and I kept telling her to stop but she wouldn't. She had finally caught him and tackled him to the ground, when she started screaming and twitching like someone was stabbing her with hot pokers. Hary just stood there and laughed at her as she was screaming for it to stop."
"Sarah, why did you say Harry had done something terrible. I'm sorry that this has happened to Samantha, and we will be sure she gets the absolute best care possible at the hospital, but Harry doesn't seem to have done anything."
"I know it was him sister Margaret," Sarah cried as she ran out the door.
Harry sat on his bed with the biggest grin of his life. He knew he was different, and that he had power that couldn't be explained, but it finally had been. Harry Potter was a wizard, and this letter was proof. He was going to a place called Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry.
A/N: Thanks for anyone reading. So this is just a quick chapter one to lay the groundwork for what's going to happen. I plan on this being a very dark Harry, with much Dumbledore, Weasley, and Granger bashing. That's the plan at least, we'll see how the story evolves.
