Chapter 1: In Search of a Hope
Summary: On October 31 1985, Harry Potter made a wish to be loved. He never realized that it may have came true…Read and Review!
Harry Potter closed his eyes, tears trailing down his cheeks as he tried to calm his breath. His heart pounded against his ribcage as he heard a creak from above. He restrained a whimper as he heard muffled voices. He bit his lip in worry as more footsteps were heard. He knew they would find him they always did…
He gasped slightly as the doorknob turned. He shook his head, tears forming in his eyes as light crept into the darkened room. He recoiled from the light, he took a shuddering breath as the door finally open and he came face to face with his uncle, Vernon Dursley.
Vernon smiled. A smile that made chills run down Harry's spine. Harry gasped in surprise as he was hauled up and was now on his feet. He whimpered as his uncle brought him out of the small cupboard under the stairs and into the well-furnished living room where Dudley Dursley was sitting watching the telly intently.
He threw Harry, like a rag doll, on the floor and said, gently, to Dudley, "Dudders, would you mind going to your room for a second?"
Dudley shook his head wildly and said, in a stubborn voice, "No"
Vernon sighed before he said, "Mommy has cookies for you," He said trying to coax his precious son into leaving so he could 'speak' to Harry.
Dudley instantly got up and said, "Fine" before he left the room and undoubtedly into the kitchen.
Vernon waited into Dudley had shut the door before he turned back to Harry. Harry, instantly, knew he was in trouble as he watched his uncle face turn purple. His uncle growled before he went behind his back and pulled out a piece of paper. Harry was confused until realization hit him…
"So, the school called today" Vernon began casually before he continued, "Said that after all the letters they sent they were surprised that we ignored them. One problem there…we didn't receive any letters from the school"
Harry paled as his uncle advanced towards him. "Care to explain why, freak?"
Oh, do not get him wrong, Harry had a good explanation but as he watched his uncle advance towards him, he could not help but lose his voice and quiver in fear.
"B-b-because, I thought that you would h-h-hate me if I s-s-showed it t-t-o you" Harry stuttered slightly as he looked down at his tattered shoes.
"Hate you?" Vernon said incredulous and for one second Harry thought that he would said, "Of course we don't hate you" but he was highly mistaken as his uncle's cruel laugh filled the room. Harry shivered before he looked back down. He always knew that he should not keep his hopes high.
"We already despise you, you little creep" Vernon said, coldly, his piggy eyes glaring at Harry.
Harry bit his lip and willed, prayed that the tears would not fall. He promised that he would never cry…
"Their is no one in their right mind that can love a freak like you" Vernon continued in the same cold voice
Harry shook his head, it was not true…
"You're just a burden to everyone. You are like a gnat that will not leave you alone. So, get it straight Potter, no one will ever love you."
The words resounded in his mind. He shook his head and muttered, "It's n-n-not true"
"What did you say, freak?" Vernon said cruelly as he smirked at the small child in front of him
"IT"S NOT TRUE AND YOU"RE A BIG BULLY" Harry yelled tears running down his flushed cheeks. He stood there in shock, as did Vernon, before he ran out of the room and into the cupboard. He sat down and pulled his legs up to his chest before he wrapped his arms around his legs and began rocking chanting, "It's not true, someone does love me, it's not true, someone does love me…" Silent tears ran down his cheeks and fell down to his ragged sheets, which he called a bed.
"I want someone to love me. To prove Uncle Vernon wrong," He muttered angrily as more tears fell.
"I want a mommy who sings me to sleep"
Drip. Drip. Drip. More tears fell.
"Or a daddy who buys me anything I want"
Drip. Drip. Drip. One after one tears fell.
"I want a mommy who'll stay by me when I'm have a nightmare"
Tears fell to the ground as he continued sobbing
"Or a daddy who gives me a smile when I do something right"
"Or a mommy who…kiss my booboo away" He yawns and lies down. Crying is exhausting work.
One tear falls. He does not notice it turns silver before it drops to the floor.
"Or a daddy…" He whispers before he close his eyes where dreams and fantasies awaited him.
This day will change Harry potter's life that no one could ever imagine.
Luckily, fate was on his side…for now…
He was falling, darkness around him. He could not see. Where was he? He squints his eyes and sees an outline of a place. Land? It must be…
He gasped in pain as he collided with the ground. He heard a distant crack and a scream. Footsteps…
Lights…
A face…
A man?
Who?
Darkness…
As he closed his eyes and lost consciences.
If he stayed up for a little longer, he would have heard the man whisper, in shock, "James Potter?"
