I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.
I woke up to the vile yelling of my uncle Vernon, this was how I woke up every morning of my life.
" Get up you little bitch! " he yelled as he opened my cupboard door, he wrapped my long black hair around his fist and yanked me out, you'd think a nine year old would scream from this but I was used to it, much to Uncle Vernon's displeasure.
He threw me to the ground glaring down at me, he was so over weight he looked like a walrus with a pale mustache plastered on his face, when he breathed it was always heavy and uneven like he would drop any moment.
I scrambled to my feet and bowed my head in my submissive stance, I knew he was smirking evilly at me but I continued to stare at my hammy down socks from my cousin Dudley, they had holes all over them and my toes stuck out.
" Your going to be outside today Mutt, me and Petunia are taking Dodders' to the zoo, so get on outside and wait for me " he ordered
" yes uncle Vernon " I said quietly, I walked through the kitchen and out the backdoor, then I walked down the steps off the porch and stood there waiting for what came next, I knew the neighbors would never save me, they would never know what went on at this house, they couldn't see anyhow, the curtains were always shut and the fences around the back yard were much to high.
Uncle Vernon stomped down the steps behind me pushing me from my thoughts and he stood in front of me holding my shock collor, I know it was meant for a dog but apparently they hadn't cared, he put it on my neck and tightened it roughly, then he attached the leash, that was connected to a metal hook in the side of the house, for good measure.
" You know that rules Freak " he said and I nodded not looking him in the eye.
He went back into the house slamming the door shut behind him and I sighed sitting down trying to find a nice place to sit, as I heard the car drive off I glanced at the only thing they had left with me, my 'dog' bowl, there was one with water, rain water, and then another with wet dog food, that bowl had the word FREAK scratched roughly into it.
That's what I thought my name was, Freak, Bitch or Mutt, until I went to school, then I learned my name was Haley Potter, I've been with my relatives the Dursleys for as long as I can remember, being beaten and starved.
They told me my parents died in a car crash, they told me they were freaks like me, drunks and nobody's.
They try to mock me with it but I've learned to ignore it, when Dudley and his friends play there favorite game, Haley Hunting, and they catch me, they beat me and yell how me and my parents are pathetic freaks and how I should have died along with them.
I reached up brushing my bangs away from my eyes to touch the lightning bolt scar I had on my forehead from the car crash, I'd had it since I was a baby.
I remember once when aunt petunia was very angry, she had grabbed my arm and dragged me up into the bathroom, she'd shoved my head in the water after she'd filled it and had scrubbed and scratched at my forehead trying to 'scrub the freakishness' from me.
I was locked in my cupboard for a week with no food or bathroom breaks because I had asked her if she was that stupid thinking she could wash off a scar, I had been angry, she'd tried to drown me!
After hours of sitting there it began to get dark, and I began to panic, the Dursleys should have been back by now, they never left me outside here this long, they were always afraid I'd be found.
After about a couple more hours of panic filled thoughts I heard a loud knock from the front door, I sighed knowing it was probably just some neighbor.
" Dursleys! You better open this door if you know what good for you! " someone yelled and I winced at how angry they sounded, soon though moments had passed and no sound was heard, until a loud crash echoed outside.
I flinched and crawled under the stairs of the porch shivering from cold and fear, I heard several different footsteps inside but I stayed under the stairs listening.
" Check the rooms upstairs, maybe their hiding her up there " the same voice said
" Severus, if the Dursleys come home you know we have to be calm " an older voice said, a more gentle tone.
" I told you not to leave her here Albus, and now that you've finally come to check on her we've found her missing " a woman said, she sounded angry too.
" I'm sure the brats just hiding " the mean man said " just waiting to do something foolish like her arrogant father " he said bitterly, so he hated my family too.
" Now Severus. " the older one scolded then I jumped little to hear the rattling of the lock on my cupboard.
" who keeps a cupboard locked " the woman thought out loud.
Then I heard three gasps.
" please tell me they didn't keep her in here " the woman pleaded
" her name is on the wall. " the mean one said, he sounded much calmer though.
I knew what he was talking about, when I had found out my name I had taken a crayon from Dudley when he wasn't looking and had written my name on the wall in my cupboard so I would never forget it, Uncle Vernon had beat me badly that day.
I heard them walk around the house before the back door opened, someone stepped out onto the porch and stood there for a moment then they began walking down the stairs, I stiffened in fear not making a sound, barley breathing.
" Albus, Minerva, " the man, Severus said " come look at this " he said and I glanced over to see him standing in front of my bowls, then the other two joined him.
I stared at them in confusion and shock, they all wore some sort of robes, Severus wore black ones, Minerva green ones and Albus wore a gray blue set of robes, Albus was an old man, with a white beard that reached waist, he had half moon glasses that sat on his nose in front of bright blue eyes, as bright as my vivid green ones, Minerva was an old woman with her hair pulled in a tight bun and she had a stiff posture, I knew she was a strict woman. Severus, he wore dark clothing and he had shoulder length black hair pulled in a pony tail, he had his arms crossed over his chest and an intimidating look on his face.
" I think I'm going to be ill " Minerva said putting a hand to her mouth and turning away, Severus looked ready to kill.
" those damn Muggles, they need to be put away for this Albus " Severus said between clenched teeth
" we must find Haley first " Minerva said
" I believe we've found her " Albus said nodding his toward me and I noticed then that he'd found me, the other two turned to look at me and they blinked in shock.
