Meet Harry Potter AKA Shade

Chapter 3

Harry looked around. He knew something was going to happen. Face it, why on earth would they possibly take him on vacation after all these years!

However, he wasn't going to complain about it. After all that time stuck in a cupboard, it felt good to be able to breathe in fresh air.

He looked at the star filled sky.

He was never able to see it before. He did faintly remember something about a flying motor cycle and a big bushy beard.

Of course he never mentioned a thing about it to uncle Vernon, lest he wanted an even worse beating. Magic was a definite no-no in the Dursley household.

They stopped and uncle Vernon stepped out.

"Get out of the car, boy," he bit towards Harry.

Harry looked around and noticed they were near the edge of a dark forest. He couldn't help but think about all the possible animals inside.

You may be surprised about it, but Harry loved animals, every single one of them. Even the hairy spiders in his cupboard.

As far as he thought, they made lovely companions.

Harry shivered. There was a chill breeze tonight.

The sun was setting and a shadow formed over Harry.

He turned around and looked up in the menacing face of his uncle. He gulped.

"Well boy," his uncle whispered, "do you think freaks go to heaven?"

Harry knew no matter what he'd say, he would get hit.

"Um, I don't know, uncle Vernon."

He grinned rather maliciously.

"Shall we test it out?"

Harry's eyes widened and took in his surroundings.

They were completely alone. His aunt and Dudley must have stayed in the car.

They were miles and miles from a city or village. No one would hear his screams.

Harry never saw his uncle's fist swing in the air and his vision turned black.
