THE DURSLEYS

Petunia dursley was a long necked horse faced normal and happy women, she had a loving husband, an adorable son, a house and everything she ever wished for but she also had a secret that she does not like to think about.

This secret would be her sister and her abnormality. 'magic'. petunia knew about magic from a young age as her sister was what they call a witch. she would never say it loud but she was envious of her sister for having the gift when she did not. so she started hating it with a passion and does not talk about it. but a week ago the same sister came to her house requesting her to take in her daughter stating she is not magic but that did not reduce Petunia's hatred towards the girl and everything she stands for

six months later

knock! Knock! get up girl, your uncle has to go to work prepare breakfast for him. yes aunt petunia said the five year old harriet potter. she quickly got up so as to not get on the wrong side of her aunt otherwise she will be given chores for whole day.

Harriett has grown up beautifully she had snow white skin and dark ebony hair cascading in soft curls to her waist. but the most noticeable feature of her was her emerald eyes which were full of wisdom that no five year old can posses. her life since the day her parents have dropped her to her aunt's house has been worse than that at her parents' house.

She was treated like their personal house elf. they called her freak or girl, Harry sometimes wondered if they knew her name or not. She cleaned, cooked and washed after them, also they never missed an opportunity to tell her that she was so unworthy that even her own parents did not need her and that she should be grateful that they decided to give her shelter and food. Though they constantly verbally abused her but they never lay a hand on her, but that did not stop their son dudley to deliver her a kick once in a while,

Dudley and his friend made a game out of it, they called it Harry hunting.

Harriet has always thought why her parents did not love her but has never come to an answer so she has quietly accepted it as her fate and soon stopped thinking about them. 'they are not my parents, they would have never treated me like this if they were' she told herself every night before going to sleep .

Harriet has panicked and got scared the first night she had to live there but was again calmed by that voice inside her head whispering soft calming words to her, harry did not know to whom that voice belong to but it always make her feel protected.

Harry got up and quickly got ready to start the day of the chores her aunty no doubt had for her. after a long day of working in the gardens in the bright sun of June, harry tiredly returned to her room if it could be called that as she lived in closet under the stairs which dursleys have so generously provided to her when she heard her uncle come from his work drunk. she was smart enough to avoid her uncle when he was in such a condition but she was too late to reach to safety this time for her uncle saw her and ordered her to get him a glass of water. while getting him the glass she accidentally tripped on her clothes which where three times her size and the glass of water fell on her uncle.

Vermon dursley was a short tempered man but has always controlled himself from hitting the freak, simply for the sake of being heard by the neighbors but today he has had enough, the scum had the audacity to spoil his new expensive business suit, he started to go purple in rage and picked harry from her hair and threw her on the floor and kicked her straight in the ribs, harry kept apologising but the slaps and kicks did not stop until she was blissfully unconscious.

when she woke up she was back into her cupboard and the memories of the previous night came flashing back and for the first time in her life Harriet lily potter cried for the unfairness of life. she tried to move but found that she was to sore to move and then there it was again, that voice she could hear him more clearly now and could tell he was angry for what happened to her and then she heard a spell being cast and was unconscious the next moment.

When Harry woke up the second time it was late in night she could tell because there was no voice of tv coming from the living room and she started to think about her life. 'nobody would care if I were to disappear or died' she thought to herself so why care? why not get out of here, even an orphanage would be better than this place after all that is what I am, an orphan she thought bitterly and the very next day she left the Dursleys forever never ones looking back.
