"The Freak" or "Boy" was a eight year old boy, at least this was what he was known as in the Dursley househld. This boy was beaten, starved, neglected, isolated, and degraded. he was beaten every day for something that was, in the mind of Vernon Dursley, completely deserved and/or necessary. He was beaten for not cooking breakfast fast enough, for asking questions, for coming out of his cupboard without being told to, and for just generally being there.

He was starved for: asking for food, for burning food whilst cooking, for "eating more than your share", and talking out of turn. He was isolated to prevent people from finding the obvious signs of abuse and starvation. This boy's name is Harry Potter. This is where we find ourselves now.

Harry Potter was slaving away over a hot stove to make breakfast for his Relatives, when his Uncle lumbered in and cuffed him in the back of the head and growled "Make it quick Boy, I've got to be to work in 15 minutes". This was a normal greeting for Harry. 5 minutes later, breakfast was on the table, Harry was standing off to the side waiting for them to either finish, or demand more. Dudley, drawn by the smell of two packs of bacon, a carton of eggs, a loaf and a half of toast, and orange juice (though most of it was for Dudley). Waddled in, took a look at the food and sat down in front of the platter of bacon, with a sadistic smile on his fat flabby face, and began to eat agonizingly slow, making "yummy noises" and smacking his lips. Vernon was already seated at the table drinking a coffee with a healthy amount of brandy inside. Vernon said "Boy, my eggs are done the wrong way" "What do you mean Uncle Vernon?" Vernon adopted a look of fury before he ground out "Well boy, I specifically requested a fried egg, and you gave me scrambled eggs". Harry whimpered, this meant an extra beating tonight. " If I had the time I'd wallop your ass." Growled the grumpy old man. "I-I'm sorry uncle Vernon" Whimpered Harry. "Don't you mouth off to me Boy!" and right at that moment Harry (under his breath with an attitude) said "Sorry". Vernon grabbed the eight year old and threw him into his cupboard and screamed "YOU NO-GOOD PIECE OF SHIT, I WILL BEAT YOU BLOODY!" and slammed the door on Harry's finger's as he tried to escape from his hell.
