Chapter 4 The Beginning of a legend.
Today was Hermione's first day of class, her dad had dropped her off this morning and she was lead by the school director to her class. She was nervous about joining the new school but she was also exited to make new friends.
The school wasn't as big or grand as her old school but it was a decent school. The school was 2 stories and looked to be the size of a football field. The class she was assigned was at the other end of the school and she realized that the school had a lot of empty rooms.
When they arrived at the class she was surprised to see that on the board the teacher had written "welcome to the school Hermione" (they are in first grade they usually do stuff like that) and that the class as one all said hi to her and the director when they walked into the class. She shyly said hi back to them.
After the teacher had a small talk with the director the teacher lead Hermione to her seat which was next to a boy who looked like he was three with black hair and broken glasses and the most vivid emerald eyes she had ever seen. She toke her seat toke out a notebook and got ready to learn.
"Hi my name is Hermione Granger nice to meet you" said turning to the boy and extending her arm. The boy looked at her hand and mumbled something she could not hear. "What was that I couldn't hear you" she asked leaning a little closer to hear. "I said my name is Harry and nice to meet you to" the boy who she now knew to be Harry said.
The first half of the day was interesting for Hermione and Harry who tried not to show it for the rest of the class they thought it was boring. At noon the class got to have lunch everyone bought there own lunch. Harry got up and toke one of the small fruits that were provided for the class as a snack, but hardly anyone took them because they all brought there own snacks.
As Hermione started to eat her large lunch because her mom always gave her extra, she noticed that all that Harry had to eat was the apple that he had taken from the fruit basket. So starting up a conversation she said "what did u do Harry did u forget your lunch?" Harry looked up at her and talked so quite she barley heard him "no this is what I have for lunch." Hermione was surprised to hear that an apple was all that Harry had for lunch. "Why doesn't your mommy or daddy make you lunch?" she asked. "I don't have a mom or a dad I live with my uncle and aunt" replied Harry softly.
"Well why don't they pack you lunch?" she asked again curiously. "They say that I'm not worth taking there food" Harry replied he wasn't quite sure why but he felt like he could talk to her freely. "Well that's really bad, I know we can share my lunch my mommy always gives me way too much anyway" replied Hermione trying to hand half of her sandwich to Harry. Harry felt like he could trust Hermione and he was very hungry, so he toke the sandwich from her mumbling a thanks. It was then and there that there friendship started. This would lead to a series of events that would lead to the most powerful duo in the world.
Later that day when Harry got home. When he walked through the door he noticed that his uncle was in a bad mood. So he tried to sneak past, he was almost in his cupboard when his uncle screamed. "BOY GET YOUR SORRY ASS IN HERE" slowly Harry walked towards the living room. There he saw Dudley sitting on the couch smirking at him. "BOY WHAT IS THE MEANING OF STEALING DUDLEYS PLAYMATE TODAY IN SCHOOL." Harry thought back on the time after lunch when Dudley came over to make Hermione play with him and not Harry. Hermione had said no to him and said that Harry was her new friend.
Harry new he was going to be punished badly because of that. "I-I d-don't kno-w-what your talking about. H-Hermione was playing with me all day not Dudley" replied Harry softly. "WHY YOU LITTLE LIER WHO WOULD WANNA PLAY WITH A FREAK LIKE YOU FOR LYING TO ME YOUR GONNNA GET IT" screamed his uncle while taking his belt off.
The pain was more painful then any of the previous beatings. Harry had lost track of time it felt like hours had passed by. Harry tried to remember the note that came to him. He knew that he was supposed to call out for someone but he didn't remember who it was he was supposed to call. "Someone help me" he called out softly. His uncle heard him and became enraged.
"NO ONE IS GONNA HELP YOU FREAK" screamed his uncle. Harry kept calling out, after what seemed like 10 minutes Harry remembered the name he was supposed to call out. He tried to call out but he realized his throat hurt too much. He softly whispered it but nothing happened. He put all his energy into his voice and screamed "MERLIN HELP ME" and then he passed out.
With a flash and a sonic boom which knocked the Dursley's to the floor. An old man with a long white beard that could be tucked into his belt appeared. "HOW DARE YOU TREAT THE HEIR OF MERLIN IN SUCH A MANNER" yelled the old man. "who are u get out of my house I DON'T WANT ANY MORE FREAKS IN MY HOUSE I WILL DO AS I PLEASE WITH THE FREAK….." before uncle Vernon could finish the old man waved his hand and Vernon's mouth disappeared and he was blown back into the wall knocking him out. Merlin walked up to Harry and put his hand on his chest. His hand glowed blue then after a few min turned green. He bent down and picked up the small boy and with a soft almost non existing pop he disappeared.
The Dersley's were happy that the freak left and toke the boy with him. It was a little while later that Merlin returned. He walked to the cupboard under the stairs with the Dursleys watching in fear. He toke all that belonged to Harry. He then turned to look at the Dursleys and spoke. "I curse your family Vernon , I curse your life Vernon, I curse you to the pain that you made a small defenseless child withstand. With that he vanished. From that day on the Dursley family became very poor and they had a very hard life.
It was the next morning when Harry woke up he was surprised to find that he was not in pain and the bed he was on was not hard and stiff. He slowly got up and he looked around the room he was in. It was a grand room It was bigger then double the Dursley's living room. He could smell eggs and bacon and he slowly got up and walked out of his room.
When he got out of the room he found himself in a long wide hallway. He used his nose to find out which way to go. As he was walking he was wondering where he was. All he remembered before he passed out was his uncle beating him and calling out for help from the Merlin person in the note. Did this Merlin help him did he save him from the Dursley's.
He slowly walked down the stairs and still follwing his nose he walked towards the direction of the smell. Harry checked a few rooms before he found the kitchen when he walked in his jaw dropped. There at the stove was a creature as big as him that he has never seen before.
"I see you have met the house elf Harry. Her name is wanda" said a jolly voice from behind. He turned around and saw an old man with a long white beard that could be tucked into his belt.
