Chapter 1: Can't I go Somewhere Else?

Harry Potter just got "home" from his 1st year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry had received multiple letters from Hogwarts the year prior, but he never got to open one until a giant named Hagrid came and handed him one on his 11th birthday and told him all about the Wizarding world. He was thrilled to know that he would get to leave his relatives. His relatives, on the other hand, were not at all happy that Harry had found out about the Wizarding world.

The second he stepped into the house owned by his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon he was thrown to the floor by a punch to his head from Vernon. Vernon then proceeded to punch and kick Harry, yelling;" You're a worthless freak and shouldn't have come here! How dare you show your face here again after what that freak did to Dudley! Next year you are going to stay at that freakish school and you are never going to darken our doorway again!"

Harry curled up in a ball hoping for it to end soon. Harry curled up even tighter when he heard the familiar and terrifying jingle of his uncle's belt. Harry had been at the mercy of his uncle's belt numerous times and each time it got worse. Harry was remembering all the different times he was in this position.

The first strike brought him back to reality and the moment the belt connected with his back he knew that this would be a very long and painful beating... so hard he didn't know if he would survive this one, he has come close many times but this beating was different it wasn't just the anger of Vernon fueling this beating it was his pleasure of hearing Harry's cries, yells, his promises to be "good," and his pleas for Vernon to stop, Vernon also loved how it helped release so much stress from work and clients.

Vernon wasn't fully aware of the damages he was causing to his nephew because once he started a beating he got so absorbed with the feeling of letting all the stress getting released. He had been holding all this stress since September because the "Freak" went to his freakish school. Vernon getting angry and started swinging the belt harder and harder.

Meanwhile, Harry was crying and pleading with Vernon to stop. Harry knew that many of his ribs were cracked and that he had a concussion from the punches.

Vernon suddenly felt a tug on his arm that the belt was swinging from and stopped. It was Petunia, Petunia said "Vernon, dear you should stop what if the neighbors hear and suspect something?" Vernon looks at his nephew on the ground thinking he only got half of what he deserved but would look forward to pouring alcohol on Harry's back and listen to him scream.

Harry felt the beating stop but knew better than to try and get up. He heard what his aunt said and knows its not him she cares about but her reputation.

Vernon sighs and says to Harry, "Freak get up and take your freakish things up to your room and stay there."

Harry knows better than to disobey and jumps up despite his pain, gathers his trunk and owl and runs up in his room and flops on the bed crying and whispers to himself, "can't I go somewhere else?" The blood wards fall the second that phrase left his mouth. Harry then passes out from pain and because of the substantial blood loss.

Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk in Hogwarts and was massaging his temples looking at all the paperwork he has to complete for the next school year.

A sudden high pitched sound fills his office and he looks at the source of the sound and pales. He runs over to his fireplace and grabs some floo powder and yells out "Severus's chambers" and sticks his head and says to Severus "Come over to my office immediately!" He backs out of the fireplace and grabs another handful of floo powder as Severus comes through.

Severus covers his ears and says " What the bloody hell is that noise Albus!?"

"Yes, that is the reason I called you. Now if you'll excuse me I must get Minerva." he says as he is walking over to the fireplace and calls out "Minerva's Bedchambers."

Once he sees Minerva he tells her "come through immediately." Minerva seeing the look on her husbands face decides that it is best to do as he says.

When both were in his office he says "you may have noticed a high pitch screech, that high pitched screech is the tool that it linked to the Blood Wards surrounding Harry's house. That sound can only mean one thing... the blood wards have dropped."

Minerva and Severus wear identical expressions of shock and then Severus says "there are Death Eaters searching for the boy 24/7 we must get the boy and take him to a safe place."

"Blood Wards don't just drop Albus how can this happen?" Minerva asks Albus.

"I do not know my dear Minerva, but we must go now and gather the boy."

They walk out of the castle and when they reach the gates they all disapperate with a sudden POP!
