As you may have realised, I am not called J., therefore this is not a world I created, just dabbling in it for pure enjoyment (not money...), and because I have nothing better to do! Hope you like, and if you do, REVIEW!
Intro
Story starts at the beginning of Chamber of Secrets, just after Dobby drops the pudding.
Chapter 1- Death of a Friend
"Dr Mr Potter,
We have received intelligence that a hover charm was used at your place of residence this evening at twelve minutes past nine, as you know underage wizards are not permitted to perform spells outside school and further spell work on your part may lead to expulsion from said school. Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery 1875, paragraph C. We would also ask you to remember that any magical activity which risks notice by members of the non-magical community, muggles, is a serious offence under section 13 of the International Confederation of Warlocks Statute of Secrecy.
Enjoy your holidays!
Yours sincerely,
Mafalda Hopkirk,
Improper use of Magic Office,
Ministry of magic." * HP and the CoS Chapter 2
'That was the letter that started it all', thought a miserable Harry as he lay on his bed in the dark. He had never felt so alone.
'Hoot' Hedwig hooted mournfully, trying to console Harry in his dark mood. After seeing no response, she hooted louder, then louder again until.
"THAT RUDDY OWL!" came Uncle Vernon shouted as he pounded closer to the door. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, YOU ARE NEVER GOING BACK TO THAT SCHOOL, THAT OWL IS GOING!"
Harry jumped up in alarm as the locks on the door started to unbolt. He needed to get Hedwig out of here. He ran to her cage and opened the door as the final lock clicked open and the door burst open, revealing the puce face of his uncle.
Hedwig screeched as she jumped out of her cage and looked for an escape, but the bars on the window blocked one exit and the enormous bulk of Vernon Dursley blocked the other.
Jumping between Hedwig and the murderous look on his Uncle's face Harry cried "She only wants a little exercise, if you'd just let her out t..."
'WHAM' Harry didn't even see the fist as it slammed into the side of his face. His glasses shattered and he felt a warm, sticky substance trickle down the side of his face.
With the ringing in his ears, Harry was completely dazed as he struggled to keep consciousness, but he still saw as his Uncle made a grab for the white blob he knew to be Hedwig.
A muffled screech rang through his head as bloody lines seemed to blossom down the fat forearms of Vernon Dursley.
In the end however, what chance did an owl have against Vernon Dursley?
Tears flowed down Harry's face as he saw body of his only companion in the hell hole that was Privet Drive, fall limp.
Pain. That was what filled Harry world when Harry awoke, both his head and heart ached from the loss of his faithful comrade. After a while of sobbing a smell of burning caused him to pick up his glasses from the floor, one of the lenses was gone completely, shattered, however the other only had a crack, so he put them back on his face and stumbled to the window that looked over the back garden. He saw Vernon, bandages on his forearms now, in front of a large fire, throwing on what Harry recognised as his school books, robes, trunk, even his wand wasn't spared the carnage. Harry broke down once more. He lost all hope for ever leaving Privet Drive again.
As Vernon threw his trunk on the top of the fire. He looked up at Harry's window and saw he was awake. Harry cringed at the look of evil on the mans, no the monsters face.
It did not take long until Vernon Dursley made it to Harry Potters bedroom in Number 4 Privet Drive. And not long after that, Harry lost consciousness once again, this time thinking he may actually die this time.

A/N OK OK OK Don't kill me for killing Hedwig, there is a reason for it I swear! At least see where I'm going with it before you flame me and never read on in this story! It all works out next chapter!
