Harry grew up in the cupboard under the stairs being a personal servant and stress reliever for his 'Family' for as far back as he could remember. That was a strange thing too, after Harry woke up on his relatives door step he never forgot anything, but he had very few and very obscured memories from before then. Harry isn't worried by this. Nor does he really care about the moral implications of what his relatives do to him. He doesn't really care about anything. Nor does he feel much of anything.
This lack of emotions paired with his perfect recall has made life so far for Harry simple. Not easy mind you, but simple and predictable. The school curriculum will continue to teach the same maths, the same language, the same history, and the same universal laws. His cousin Dudley will continued to hate and isolate Harry because he was taught to at a young age. Harry's Aunt Petunia will continue to expect him to cook three meals a day, clean the house top to bottom, and do all the yard work. And Harry's Uncle Vernon will continue to exploit every little reason he can find to put Harry back into his place.
Harry knew that place well. Bellow them. Them didn't refer to just his family. No, them refers to all, everyone, and everything. Harry had always been told that he was worthless and should be eternally grateful for every shred of attention, wisdom, and substance he is given. Harry doesn't feel grateful for his relative's treatment. He doesn't feel anything about it. It's just how things are for him.
However, Harry does want better, more, freedom. He knows that knowledge is key to his freedom and as such considers the pain he receives in exchange for further knowledge a fair trade. A beating and no food was worth doing well on a test and being promoted to a higher level class that learns more.
Today was Harry's tenth birthday and nothing strange had ever happened to him. He never spontaneously appeared on the roof of his school, he never turned his teacher's wig blue, and he never grew his hair back after his Aunt's horrible hair cut.
However as Harry could hear the clock in the parlor strike midnight changing the date from July 30th to July 31st Harry felt a strange warmth flood his body and he fell unconscious into the warm embrace of a Mother he had never known.
What Harry couldn't have known was that he was a wizard. He also couldn't have known that children will accidentally activate their magic at early ages when they aren't ready for their magic. This causes the child's magical core's growth to be stunted and take far longer to come into maturity. So for those who access their core early enough can stretch and work it more before it's potential is locked. Seeing as Harry had never preformed accidental magic his magical core was not stunted. In fact Harry's magical core was the largest since a forgotten mage lost to time who also had few reasons to feel, and may even be larger than her's had been.
So, when the clock struck twelve and Harry reached the age of ten his magical core unlocked and flooded his senses with it's pure untouched and impartial magic. As his magic flooded through him, and about ten miles in every direction, the source of all Magic noticed that pure undirected and wild magic had awoken. Magic then drew Her presence to the source of such power that lacked any sort of inclination to any one direction of Her power.
When She found herself in a ten mile deep and wide crater with a small boy at the center She thought nothing of it. However when She took notice of the condition of the boy She began to feel rage at the state of such a pure and precious creature. She promptly called forth the ones who were responsible for this. First the Dursleys faded into existence before her. Closely followed by an aged wizard, a diary, ring, necklace, chalice, diadem, and a wraith. The humans were all asleep while the Wraith and items were contained despite their struggles to unite and escape.
She Looked into the humans and found them each wanting, lacking, and guilty. She then turned Her Sight upon the shattered once man She held. He too was found wanting, lacking, and guilty. They were each shortly Removed from this realm. Death was oddly eager to take them in Her opinion, but She cared not when Her Vassal, Her Voice, Her Charge, Her Childe, Her's.
Knowing that She had removed the ones who provided, no matter how little, for Her Childe in this realm, She began to take form. She changed from a protective, formidable, and powerful presence into a womanly figure. Her hair had no defined color, it seemed to shift at even the slightest of movements. Porcelain white and flawless skin was molded into a tall and lithe figure with admirable assets. Her visage was perfectly symmetrical in it's aristocratic nose, high cheek bones, and fine rose lips. When she opened Her eyes they glowed with color as ever changing as her hair.
She bent down with her new form to pick up Harry's still unconscious form and the two disappeared without a sound or sign.

I know, I know... I should be working on my other stories. I really should... I blame plot bunnies and the heat that makes it very hard to convince myself to do anything I don't feel like doing at the moment. Rejoice however, I have progressed with my other works and will not be adding to this one until sometime between August and the end of September after I have updated/revised my other works.
Some quick notes in case it wasn't noticed, the Dursleys, Dumbledore, and Voldemort/Tom Riddle are gone. Yep, killed them all off in the prologue. However they might make appearances latter and yes the Death comment was foreshadowing three guesses as to what, first two don't count. The Harry in my story doesn't not have emotions, he has them, they have just been blocked and shrunk due to something before October 31st, 1981. So, he won't be a cold calculating machine, nor will her be an all powerful character. Beyond that, you'll just have to wait and see!
Thanks for reading, please review! Seriously, I could go from no motivation to cramming out a full 5k chapter from one review sometimes!
