Child's Play-Chapter 1-Quite a Surpise
By:hhrprincess
One night a boy sat alone on his bed thinking, This boy was not your typical teenager his story is one of tragedy and loss. It seemed as if he had lost everyone he had ever loved first his parents when he was just a year old then he lost his friend Cedric three years ago and this past year had been no different because of his own rash thinking he had lost his only real father figure, his godfather Sirus. Who is this boy? his name is Harry Potter he is the famed "Boy-who-lived. "
As Harry sat staring out his window he wished for one day he could be known for something other then all the death that had been caused by him. He knew that if his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were around they would be trying to convince him that these deaths were not his fault but he knew better.
Looking around his small bare room in Privet Drive he decided he had enough he had to get out it didn't matter that it was one o'clock in the morning,he just knew he had to leave. Getting up he made his way down the steps, wand in hand careful not step on the creaky step he pratically ran out the door. Putting his wand in the air he felt the ground begin to shake as he the purple double-decker come around the corner and stop in front of him. Gathering his belongs he bounded up the steps and said "Leaky Cualdron Ernie" before Stan could even get out his usual greeting.
Moving to the back of the bus Harry sat down as the bus began it's usual bumpy journey.
Once they reached his destanation Harry muttered a quiet 'thank you' to Ernie and Stan. He took a deep breath that was until he reached the front door of the pub, Looking down he saw what appeared to be a bundle of clothes, picking he noticed it wasn't clothes at all it was a baby! wrapped in a pink blanket all Harry could see was a tuft of blonde hair and blue eyes peeking up at him from under the blanket. when took a closer look he saw a letter tucked in the baby's blanket gently sitting down Harry craddled the baby in one arm and opened the letter:
Dear Stranger,
This is my baby girl she was born just two days ago I am in no fit state to care for her as I am currently without a home. Please all I ask is that you find someone that will be able to give her a life I never could
MAB
Once he finshed reading the letter Harry knew in an instant what he had to do despite what people might say he knew in his heart as looked down at the little girl who was now asleep that he had to be the one to care for her. He knew what is was like to grow without a parent to love you and he didn't want this little girl to have to do the same. He also that he couldn't let her start out here despite what he may have wanted he knew he had to return to Privet Drive.
Putting his wand up once again he felt the rumble as the purple double-decker materlize in front of him. When the door opened Ernie looked as if he was having a case of de ja vu.
Not allowing him any time to ask questions Harry simply "Back to Privet Drive". With that, Harry once again made his way to the back of the bus and held the little girl tight to his chest. By the time they reached the front lawn of number four the sun had risen and was casting long streaks of red across the sky. Making his way to the door it finaly dawned on Harry that he had no key so he was going to have to knock. Within seconds the door opened and there stood his Aunt Petunia letting out an ear-splitting scream as she saw what it was Harry was holding...
