Harry's Life
Summary: What would the wizarding world do with a savior with an automail arm? No, this is not a FMA crossover, I just like the metal arm thing. Harry also has a fake eye, that looks real. He has the fake arm and eye because of the Dursley's, who demanded he do chores, and he couldn't do chores without a right arm and eye. Enjoy!
Harry sighed as he laid on the floor, waiting for midnight, his birthday. He had never had a party. Heck, the only presents he had gotten was an old sock and a coat hanger, and the Dursley's were being generous. Last year, he got a box of dog biscuits, and he was chased up a tree by 'Aunt Marge's' dog, Ripper.
He was abused by the Dursely's, so now he had a fake left eye and a metal right arm. The eye looked real, but if you looked closely, it never showed emotion, so any observant person could figure it out. His right arm was always covered in long sleeves, and he always had gloves on so no one would see the metal.
At midnight, he blew at the dust he had put Happy Birthday Harry on, and said, "Happy birthday Harry." Suddenly, the door was banged on, and knocked down. This woke up Dudley and the other Dursley's. Harry, always being cautious, hid behind a pillar where the stranger couldn't see him.
The stranger did see Dudley though, and started to tell him he was a lot bigger than the last time he saw him. Dudley stuttered, "I'm not Harry." Harry stepped out, still cautious, "I am." Hagrid, which was the large man's name, beamed, "Of course you are! Well, are you ready to go to Hogwarts?" He looked confused, "Hogwarts?" Hagrid fumbled around for something in his coat and pulled out a letter, "Here you go."
Harry opeed the letter and saw that it was inviting him to a school called Hogwarts, that taught magic. It also had the list of things he would need. He looked at the large man, "Magic isn't real." Hagrid turned to the Dursley's and started yelling, no, booming, at them, mad at the for not teaching Harry about this Hogwarts place.
He then turned to Hogwarts and told Harry some about magic, and said, "You will be taught by the greatest wizard the world's ever known, Albus Dumbledore." He looked proud when he said this. Wasn't Albus Dumbledore the headmaster? That's what the letter said. Vernon exclaimed a little more bravely than before, "Now see here, we will not pay for him to go to some school and have a crackpot old fool teach him magic tricks!"
Hagrid picked up his pink umbrella and twirled it in the air, "Don't...insult...Albus...Dumbledore...in...front...of...ME!" He pointed the umbrella at Dudley, and gave him a pig's tail. Hagrid then turned to Harry and they left the island on the boat the Dursleys and Harry had gotten here on. Hagrid used his umbrella to make the boat go faster, and made Harry promise not to tell he was using magic.. Harry was curious why he couldn't use magic, but being taught by the Dursley's not to ask questions, he kept quiet the entire way and thought of this new world, the world of magic. Perhaps, just maybe he could fit in, and discover himself.
AN: I'm skipping to Ollivanders. For the time in between, just read the book. Everything will be the same. Thanks!
Olivanders
Harry entered Ollivanders alone, and an old man appeared form the shelves and said, "Ah Mr. Potter. I thought I would be seeing you soon. What is your wand arm?" Harry immediately said, "My left. I switch a lot, but definitely left." He didn't know how wands would act with auto mail, and wasn't going to ask. Ollivander nodded and tape measures started to measure him while Ollivander went to the back to look for Harry a wand.
The measurements stopped as Ollivander came up and handed him a wand, but immediately snatched it back, "No." This continued for about an hour before he went to the back and pulled out a long black wand and handed it to Harry. Harry grabbed it and felt a warmth go through his arm. He smiled, the feeling felt so...right. Ollivander looked surprised and overjoyed. He smiled, "Mr. Potter, your wand is by far one of the most powerful ones I have ever made. The wood is Black Oak, and thee are two cores. The cores are basilisk venom and phoenix tears. Your wand is the only one in this shop to have two cores. It is great in both dark and light magic. We can expect many great things from you, Mr. Potter."
Harry thought this was strange, how was he special enough to get a wand this unique? He wasn't anything special. just a freak, now wizard, with a fake left eye and right arm. Harry took the wand, however, and paid the required 7 galleons for it. He left the shop and saw Hagrid at the front,, holding an owl. Harry walked up to him and Hagrid beamed, "There you are Harry. Got you a birthday name's Hedwig." Harry stared at the beautiful snowy owl in the cage in the ground keeper's hand. He whispered, "She's beautiful. Thank you Hagrid." Hedwig perked up and looked every inch a Queen at the beautiful comment. Harry smiled again, everything was turning out even better than he had ever thought possible.
