Vernon Dursley quickly waddled into the bathroom of four Privet drive whilst he unzipped his pants. He waddled through a white slimy substance on the floor and slipped over. He fell backwards and hit his head on the door before his needs overcame him and he urinated all over himself.
UGHHH
He screamed in frustration and anger. He looked to see what he slipped on and pure rage filled his mind. His face turned a dangerous purple and the vain on his forehead looked close to bursting.
"THAT DISGUSTING FREAK." He screamed. He stormed into the boys room, pants around his ankles dripping in urine. He picked the boy up and gave him the most vicious beating of his life. He found a cake knife on the desk and used it vigorously to inflict as much pain as possible.
He wrapped the bloody heap in the bed sheets and carried it to his car. He walked passed his terrified wife and son and threw the boy into the boot of his car.
"The boy will not be a problem anymore Pet." He called to his wife as he backed out of the car.
He drove for hours on end and well into the day before he was satisfied. At two in the afternoon Vernon Dursley dumped the unconscious and dying form of Harry James Potter off the clift and watched it tumble and roll to the bottom of the alley at the bottom and disappear beneath the tree canopy.
He squeezed back into his car and began to return home again. He drove until six thirty before he stopped for dinner at a fast food restaurant. An hour later he checked in at a motel and slept for a few hours. He awoke again in the early hours of the morning and after a Mcdonalds breakfast he was off again.
He pulled into Privet Drive at seven am to find a police car parked nearby. Thinking his good friend Jim from the police force was visiting for some reason he thought nothing of it. He parked his car in the drive
"Pet, I am home again. I already missed a day of work so I will have to leave to the office soon. Is Jim visiting." He called as he hung up his coat. He was glad that he had burnt all the freaks belongings the previous night and finally had a place for his boots other than the doorway.
He entered the living room to find three officers waiting with a ghostly pale Petunia and a shaking Dudley. The officers stood and approached him, the first officer stopped in front of him, the second much larger pulled out some handcuffs and went to cuff him. The third went to guard the door to prevent his escape.
"What is the meaning of this." He shouted.
"Vernon Dursley you are under arrest for the murder of the minor Harry James Potter on August fourth 1993. You have the right to remain silent. If you do say anything, what you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult with a lawyer and have that lawyer present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you if you so desire." The officer said.
"What!" Vernon screamed at the officer. "I am an upstanding Citizen of this country. That freak deserved everything he got. I know the law, it's only murder if I kill a human. The law says nothing of freaks." Vernon yelled and tried to shake free of the officers grip.
The larger officer pushed the back of Vernons legs and forced him to his knees before pushing him to lay flat on his stomach. With one knee on Vernons back to keep him still the officer cuffed him the lifted him back to his feet. Vernon was dragged out the house kicking and screaming all the way to the police car.
The car drove off and all around curtains could be seen quickly closing too hide those that were spying on it. The gossip spread quickly between workplaces and gossip groups all across little whinging. Vernon Dursley was arrested for murder.

Inside Privet drive Petunia Dursley was having a very serious discussion with her son.
"Mum, why did dad get taken away. He has always done those things to Harry but the police never came before." Dudley asked.
"I called the police sweetie because what Vernon did was wrong and he went to far. I have never said anything before because it was never very serious, the boys life was never endanger but today your father most likely killed that boy. Do you understand why it is wrong Dudley." Petunia said.
"But why was it different this time. Harry had done far worse and more freakish things before and dad never went so far. I mean he locked me in a snake enclosure and dad only put him in his cupboard for a few days and made him mow the lawns with fingernail scissors and scrub the driveway with his toothbrush. What was different this time mum. I get that dad shouldn't have gone as far as he did and shouldn't have dumped him in the middle of nowhere but what was different this time. What did Harry do so bad to make dad go over the top." Dudley asked.
"Well I suppose it is about time for the birds and the bees talk Dudley. When a man loves a woman very much…" A long and agonising time for Dudley later " and that's how a baby is made. Now Vernon was so angry because the boy was… pleasuring himself and made a mess on the bathroom floor. Vernon slipped in it and hit his head. It still is no excuse to do what he did but that is what triggered him to act the way he did. I suppose it may have been the realisation that the boy could possibly have more children like himself. Your father believed truly that he would be helping us all by beating the freakishness out of him but it is still no excuse for what he did. Do you understand that Dudley."
"Yes mum but there is something you should know. It wasn't Harry that made that… mess in the bathroom it was me. Now someone is dead and dads going to jail because I forgot to clean up after myself." Dudley burst into tears and hugged the tops of his knees. He was to big to get his legs any higher.
"Shh, shhh, it's not your fault Dudley. You didn't make Vernon do those things, it's not your fault sweetie." Petunia soothed her son.
"I'm a monster mum, I'm a bully, a cheater, a murderer and monster. Just like dad." Dudley was now shaking with sobs.
"But you don't have to be sweetie, I should have stepped in earlier and stopped Vernon before now. I shouldn't have allowed him to encourage you to do the things he did to that boy. I shouldn't have let him feed you so much. I shouldn't have let him go further and further down the path he was."
Many things changed after that day in number four Privet Drive. Dudley went on a diet and slowly began to lose weight, he stopped bullying other kids and tried harder in his classes. After a year he was an average weight and had caught up to his classmates in school.
Petunia Dursley began attending the local church and spent many a days with therapists to work through her guilt in allowing her husband to treat both her nephew and son the way he did. To help escape the environment she had sold her house and moved to america to start a new life for herself and her son.
Vernon Dursley was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court after pleading guilty to torturing and abusing a child along with the murder charges. He was found beaten to death in his cell with the same words carved in his chest as he admitted to cutting into Harry.
"DIE FREAK DIE."

July 25 Sirius Orion Black escaped Azkaban prison and was now running from the law, both wizard and muggle. The first thing he did after escaping was to steal a wand from a sleeping guard. The wand had only had one spell cast repeatedly, 'Point me Harrison James Potter'
He followed the wand across the english countryside sleeping in the backs of trucks and stealing food from rubbish bins. He followed the trail to a clift face off the side of the road above a valley.
"Point me Harrison James Potter" He cast once more and watched as the ten and a half inch, Oak and unicorn hair wand floated into the air and spun to point straight down.
A quick sticky charm on his hands and feet Sirius began to climb down the clift face. After eleven days of searching he had finally found his godson and could do what he should have on the 31 of October 1981.
He found the boy with a thin sheet over him curled up in the roots of a large tree. He appeared to be sleeping and was surrounded by snakes.
As Sirius approached one snake retreated to Harry's side and two others advanced on Sirius. Harry awoke and hissed at the snakes.
"Harry is it really you." Sirius asked.
"Help me." Harry barely whispered.
"What is it, what do you need. We need to get you out of this forrest Harry." Sirius said.
"Need, healer." Harry rasped.
"Come on Harry, I can try and apparate you to a safer place but it might be difficult." Sirius said as he began to panic.
"Help me, pain." Harry groaned.
"I can't, I could splinch us both. Arghh, What to do, what to do." Sirius began to pace in thought as he assessed the risks in trying to apparate Harry away.
"Kreacher, come." Sirius called with a sudden thought. He waited but no elf came. "Arghh the blasted elf, this is not the time to play games."
"Dobby, help." Harry said as clearly as possible.
A small house elf popped into the existence next to Harry dressed in a Hogwarts tea towel and very bright socks. He had tennis ball sized yellow eyes and bat like ears.
"The great and kind master Harry Potter sir be calling lowly Dobby. How may Dobby serve." The elf asked whilst bowing low.
"Dobby is it, I need you to help me get Harry to a safer location. I know of a place in Portsmouth that we can go. 486 Black road. Take us there and he will be safe." Sirius told the elf. Dobby grabbed both their hands and they disappeared with a loud pop.
~•~
The three appeared in front of an iron gate with a large lock on it. On either side of the gate were two large stone Ravens. Sirius placed his finger on the lock and the gates swung open.
Dobby popped away again to the door of the house and waited for Sirius to open the door and allow him entry. He then took then levitated Harry into the large home and into a bedroom. He popped away again after informing Sirius he would prepare some food for Harry.
Sirius found some pain potions, a blood replenishing potion, some cream for cuts and a dreamless sleep draught. He gave the potions to Harry and applied the cream to Harry's body and was shocked when none had any effect.
Assuming the potions were old and their shelf life exceeded therefore reducing there effects he resorted to simple healing charms to heal the cuts on Harry's body. After ten minutes Sirius thought he was done and fed him the chicken broth the elf had prepared.
Slowly but surely Harry got better. Sirius was unsure how well his healing charms worked but knew that scars would remain. His biggest fear was the fact that Harry would permanently need to use charms to use the bathroom. Because along with slicing his chest and removing the skin of the scar on his forehead. Vernon Dursley had removed Harry Potter's genitals.
~•~
Albus Dumbledore was in a panic, Harry Potter was missing. The entire last month had turned to shit. Sirius Black had escaped Azkaban and was assumed to be after Harry and now the boy was missing. His Uncle was in prison and his Aunt and cousin had moved to america.
He did not think a tracking charm was necessary on the boy but he knew he was alive. He had atleast had the forethought to cast a life ward on the boy. If he was dead the his trinket would not be blowing smoke. The fact that it was red smoke was further reason for worry as it indicated that the boy was not in a well condition.
"I truly hope that someone has found him and he is safe." He went to the floo in his office and called Transfiguration Office.
"Minerva I have some bad news, Harry Potter is missing and may not be attending Hogwarts this year."
~•~
Harry had been asleep since the day Sirius brought him to the Black safe house in Portsmouth. Four weeks and he had not woken even once. Sirius had asked Dobby to purchase new potions but they still had no effect. He had used the excretion vanishing charm every morning and night to ensure he was comfortable and feeding him soups and broths.
On the second of September Sirius woke at seven thirty and after checking on Harry, went to have breakfast. Four pieces of marmalade on toast and a cup of tea later he went back up stairs to help Harry. Only when he opened the door, Harry was gone.
Sirius went into panic, where is he, how could he just disappear, did someone take him. Sirius was scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. How could he just lose Harry, his godson.
The sound of a flushing toilet broke him from his thoughts. Sirius rushed to the bathroom down the hall to see Harry closing the door.
"Harry." He shouted with glee as he picked him up in a hug.
"Okay who are you." Harry said breaking free of the man's grip.
"Oh, right. I'm your godfather, call me padfoot."
"Padfoot, that's an odd name."
"It was the nickname your father gave me. My real name is Sirius Orion Black III. However, you can call me padfoot."
"If you are my godfather, where have you been all this time." Harry asked.
"That is a conversation that we need to have after I check you over and you have breakfast."
"Will the scar on my chest always be there, I am glad you could at least regrow my… You know." Harry said gesturing to between his legs.
"What do you mean regrow. I wouldn't know how to do something like that. It would take a very expensive potion that includes basilisk venom and that is about two million galleons a litre."
"What else is in that potion."
"Well I think it is a few other basilisk parts, some phoenix tears two balance it and a bit of crushed Unicorn horn."
"Why the basilisk parts."
"Well basilisks are rather tricky. If you were to cut one in half it would hibernate for a few weeks whilst its tail grows back. The only way to kill it is to kill its brain. It's something in their blood that gives them this power."
"Well that solves that mystery, I have basilisk venom and blood coursing through my veins. It must have given me some rejuvenation abilities. I don't know how much but at least some."
"And pray tell me, how did this happen."
"After breakfast and you tell me your story.
The two left to the kitchen and found pancakes with bacon, maple syrup and chocolate chips. After a quick and delicious meal Sirius showed Harry to the living room that overlooked the water.
"Well I suppose it starts about a month before you were born. Dumbledore came to your parents and said that Voldemort was targeting them and they needed to go into hiding. The Potter ancestral home was there first choice but James didn't want Voldemort to get the resources it had if he found them. Instead they moved into a small house in Godric's Hollow under a very powerful charm. The fidelius charm. The charm uses a secret keeper to protect the secret of another's location. Unfortunately the longer the secret keeper stays in the home the weaker the charm becomes meaning you cannot put the secret keeper under the protected house."
"I was James best friend and had lived with him since we were fifteen. I looked to be the first choice they would have. Instead we decided to use a second friend, Peter Pettigrew and I would be the decoy. So for a year and a bit I went around announcing to the world that I was the secret keeper and what an honour it was that James chose me. I made myself the biggest target to keep Peter safe."
"But the little rat betrayed us, he sold James and Lily out to the dark prick and betrayed them. When I heard the ward stone I had go off to say the wards had fallen I climbed on my bike and flew straight there. I had been drinking you see and couldn't apparate. I arrived at the house and found the nursery blown to pieces and Hagrid walking out with you in his arms."
"He told me he was taking you to Dumbledore and refused to give you to me. I didn't realise but he thought I betrayed them, I forgot everyone believed me to be secret keeper. So I gave Hagrid my flying motorcycle to keep you safe on your travel and went after Peter myself. If I hadn't been drinking so much I would have made better decisions that day, at least I hope so."
"I tracked him down to an alleyway in london and confronted him. I don't know how he got into Gryffindor because he is a traitorous coward. He called me a trafor before blowing up the street and disappearing into the night as his rat animagus. My brain was still slow and I stood there, I couldn't believe what had just happened. I had tried to avenge James and Lily and all I did was get a bunch of muggles killed. I feel to my knees and mumbled 'I killed them all' over and over again. My mind was in a state of shock and I should have gotten help. I lay down and laughed at the ridiculousness of my actions. James would have chewed me out for being so dumb."
"The aurors that arrived arrested me, threw me in a cell in Azkaban and never looked back. I was never given a trial and everyone assumed I was sentenced to life in prison."
"I did have at least some luck. Dementors don't effect me as much as most because I was trained in Occlumency from five to fifteen by my grandfather. Added to that the fact that in my animagus form they affect me less and the memory that was my worse was the day I lost my true family. I have watched those two days a thousand times and know everything I should and shouldn't have done."
"Still my mind wasn't right and I was still under the belief that I needed to get revenge on the rat. Two thoughts for twelve years, my family is gone, all because of Peter. I will be honest and say it never occured to me that you might need me. I was sure someone would raise you right. The wills would be read and you would be placed with Frank and Alice or Minerva or Alastar. I am truly sorry that I didn't do anything for you."
"Anyway, I found where Peter is and it ticked something in my brain, driving me to break out. Once free of the dementors presence I made the first good decision in twelve years. I should check on Harry, is he okay."
"So that brings us to here and now. Let's discuss the deadly snake venom."
Harry began to explain his last year of Hogwarts which brought on the topic of his first year and eventually his life story since his parents deaths. Sirius was appalled that Harry was placed with his Aunt and even more so that the wills had not been read to Harry. After the long discussion lunch was almost ready and Harry only had one more question for his new godfather.
"Padfoot."
"Yes Harry."
"Where are we."
"Oh, we are in a Black safe house in Portsmouth, England. There are a bunch of little houses like these all over the UK owned by my family. Anyone with Black blood can access them, although I think it needs to be a child of a son or daughter of the house of Black. Your grandfather would have been able to access them because your great grandmother was a black. James however could not. Only Myself, Andromeda, Nymphadora, Narcissa and her son Draco could access these homes so we are safe."
"How can Malfoy access them, surely I am not related to him. I can't be." Harry exclaimed.
"Okay I guess we should start with My great grandfather Phineas Black. He had a son and a daughter, Arcturus and Dorea. Arcturus married Catherine Nott and gave birth to Orion and Cassiopeia. Dorea married Chalus Potter who gave birth to Fleamont, he married Euphemia Longbottom and gave birth to James Potter. Your father. Orion married Walburga Slewn and birthed Myself and Regulus. Cassiopeia married Anthony Greengrass and gave birth to Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa. Bella married Rodolphus Lestrange and is in Azkaban. Andy married a muggleborn named Ted Tonks and had Nymphadora Tonks. Narcissa married Lucius Malfoy and gave birth to Draconis Malfoy. I believe it makes you two like third cousins or something. Now let's go eat lunch."
