One could not call the life of Hadrian Jamieson Potter-Black, more commonly known as Harry James Potter, a normal one. From the day he was born, fate seemed to have it in for him. A little over a year after he was born, his mother and father were taken from him, murdered by a madman with a quest for power. They were betrayed by someone who they thought was a friend. Harry was then taken away from his godfather, Sirius Black, and was sent to live with his mother's sister, Petunia Dursley, her husband Vernon, and their son Dudley.
Sirus Black was carted off to Azkaban Prison, after he was framed by Peter Pettigrew, the one who betrayed Lilly and James Potter. He would spend 13 years as an innocent man for crimes that he did not commit. He would not have been in this situation had he not lost his temper and chased after the traitor. He also would not have been put through this had he actually gotten a trial but Bartemius Crouch Sr. did not think it was prudent for him to have one. Neither did Millicent Bagnold who was the Minister at the time. The only thing that kept Sirius sane from the effects of the Dementors, the guards of Azkaban, was the fact that he was innocent.
Harry Potter was treated like a slave by his relatives, from the time he could walk. He was told to clean, cook and tend to the garden while also being verbally and physically abused as well as being starved. He was forced to sleep in a broom cupboard despite the fact that the house had four bedrooms. He did not know his real name until he started school because he was always called 'Boy' or 'Freak' at home. He was a very bright child but he had to dumb himself down so he couldn't show up his cousin or else he would be locked in the broom cupboard for an indefinite period of time with no food or water.
He was told that no one loved him, that no one cared for him. That his parents were worthless drunks who amounted to nothing and died in a car accident. Roughly a month before his 11th birthday, Harry recieved a letter. Because of that letter, the next seven years of his life were far from ordinary.
He made friends for the first time in his life. One over food and the other by defeating a troll. He was nearly killed nearly every year he was in school by the man who murdered his parents - and who was supposed to be dead. The only times he didn't get killed were in his third and seventh years. Though that was mostly because the only threat he faced in his third year was from his godfather and his friend who was a werewolf. He did not attend school in his seventh as he was on a mission (One that involved him sacrificing himself to get rid of a soul anchor that was lodged in his scar along with several others so he could he finally defeat the dark lord who was resurrected in his fourth year).
Through out those years Harry also experienced happiness, betrayal, loss, and finally peace. After losing someone he considered a father, losing someone he saw as a grandfather, losing someone who had become his friend in a time where nearly the entire school turned on him, being tortured and nearly killed by a member of wizarding government, and finally killing the man who fate deemed as his equal, did Harry finally know peace.
A peace that unfortunately, did not last for too long.
Later on in life, Harry was dubbed The man who conquered and his friends enjoined success as well. He decided to write out his life story in a series of books so everyone would get a more accurate portrayal and not all the trash that was printed about him over the years and hoped that people would see that he hated his fame. Seven books for seven years, he had told his friends and he would only do it if they were on board with the idea. They agreed after all the details were sorted out.
Harry and his friend Ron Weasley drifted a part and they ceased being friends when the latter started to become arrogant and spiteful towards Harry. It got worse when Harry was betrothed to Daphne Greengrass who a Slytherin student in their graduating class and was to be his wife for the Black title which he inherited from his godfather. Something he discovered after he was able to explain what happened to the goblin king Ragnok when he and his friends broke into Gringotts to steal a soul anchor. Ron commented that Harry now had a filthy snake he could use his snake speaking abilities on (Something that was discovered in their second year). Harry ignored that and him but the final straw was when he saw Ron savagely beat Hermione while he was drunk outside of the Leaky Cauldron. Harry almost killed him but his friends stopped him while sending Ron away to recover at St. Mungos.
In 2005 Harry's relationship with the Weasley's wasn't exactly the same after that. Arthur, Bill, Charlie, Percy, George and Ginny didn't blame him for hurting Ron, most of them wanted to hurt him too. It was Molly Weasley that was the problem. She kept saying that her boy couldn't do something like that and blamed Hermione for what happened. Harry had actually drawn his wand on her and said that she was deluded to think that Hermione was to blame and Molly banned him from their home, saying that she didn't to see him anymore if he was going to stick up for that 'mudblood harlot'. Harry hexed the woman he had considered as a second mother before stalking out of the house. No one stopped him and only Ron vowed to get revenge on Harry.
Harry and Ginny were together at the time all this happened but at that point they started to realize that they acted more like siblings than a couple. After what happend with Molly, they parted ways amicably with Harry spending more time with his betrothed and Ginny dating Dean Thomas again after nine years.
Harry's godson Teddy Lupin, who was the son of his fathers friend, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks, Sirius' cousin, lived with his grandmother Andromeda until he was twelve years old because she had passed away. He then went to live with Harry as he was his godfather and both of Teddy's parents said that he would live with Harry in the event that no one could take him. Harry loved Teddy like his own so it wasn't even a hard decision to take him in.
The wizarding public still exhibited sheep like tendencies when someone would say something bad about Harry or praise him. Both scenarios grated Harry's nerves because he wanted to be left alone. The worst was when grieving families tried to sue him for not killing the dark lord sooner and saving their familes. Harry admited that things could have been planned better but he only had so much to go on and the Ministry was against him at the time.
Kingsley Shacklebolt, who was minister at the time, fought against this idea by saying that they owed Harry a debt that could never be repaid and people should leave him alone. Most people did while others remained defiant like Ron who was very vocal in that campaign.
Things came to a head in 2010 when Ron attacked Harry and his friends and family. The group included Teddy, Neville Longbottom,Harry's god brother and his wives Hannah and Susan. Hermione Granger. who was also Harry's fiancé for the Potter family. His sister in law Astoria and her husband Draco who was his rival in school. Luna Lovegood whom he met in his fifth year. And the last of the group were Daphne's friend Blaise Zabini and his wife Tracey.
Ron used blasting curses to keep the group unbalanced. He then used a cutting hex on Teddy and the torture curse on Hermione. Harry, after mentally cursing himself for not minding his surroundings, blasted Ron with an overpowered stunner that ripped a hole into his chest, killing him almost instantly. The response to this incident was split down the middle with one side saying Harry was in the right with the other saying he was wrong. After Harry showed people the memory of what happened, more people sided with him except for the likes of Molly Weasley who tried to attack Harry but was arrested and placed in the cells at the Ministry.
Things like this happened repeatedly but life took a turn for the worse in 2013 Wizarding society began to crumble and deterioate throughout the years following the war because the people refused to change their ways. Harry had become disillusioned with wizarding Britain even though he tried to rebuild it all but he couldn't think of going anywhere else because there was no where they could go. The I.C.W. had basically cut off all ties with Britain until they could clean up their act after the second wizarding war. Whatever allies that Britain had were gone as well and whoever wished to leave Britain could only do so if they gave up their citizenships as the other countries had refused to acknowledge magical Britain and it's government.
Harry thought that he and his family would have to suffer until he got a letter from a family in America, offering them sanctuary. Harry's friends also got the same letters. It was from a man named Artorius Nero who claimed to be related to Harry through his mother who was a member of the Black family. Harry nearly called bollocks on that because he didn't see anyone named Octavia Black on the family tree but his wives pointed out that she could be distantly related and not from the main line. Harry had considered that but he was still hesitant about going. To him, Britain was the only place he called home despite all it's faults.
After some debates, serious thinking, transferring of funds, and emotional good byes to those who decided to stay behind, they accepted the offer and headed to America, leaving the place they called home behind with the hope of starting anew.
