Harry Potter was a weird child. That was the consensus among everyone in Privet Drive, Surrey. The people of the neighbourhood were told by the Dursley family that the boy was orphaned due to the car crash that killed his drunken bum of a father and his whore of a mother. Seeing the child in ragged clothes and listening to the stories sprouted by Petunia Dursley, they believed him to be a delinquent. But no one knew the real story that went on inside Number Four, Privet Dive. They all thought that Vernon and Petunia Dursley and their son Dudley the perfect family. How wrong they were.
Since he was very young, Harry Potter knew that he was different. He could do things that others couldn't. He could remember information in books with complete recollection. Because of this, he was also a very smart child.
He also knew that strange things happened to him. Things his relatives called 'freaky'. He really hated that word. His relatives called him nothing but 'boy' or 'freak'. His bedroom was a small cupboard under the stairs. Since he was three years old, he was ordered to weed the garden or clean the house. He was given a meager amount of food while his fat whale of a cousin could eat as much as he liked. Harry was also hated by his relatives because he could speak fluently and could read while their precious Diddykins could not.
When he started school at the age of four, he was given Dudley's cast offs for clothes. He was a brilliant kid and that's when troubles started. Being smarter than his cousin, he was beaten and locked in the cupboard days without food. Later on, as trouble continued to follow him, his beatings also increased.
Once the hair of the teacher who was yelling at him turned blue, andwhen he reached home, his uncle had beaten him. His uncle had taken a knife and jammed it up his gut he was then tossed into the cupboard. Harry knew that he was going to die. There was blood all over the place. He had tears in his eyes and begged for someone to help him. But what he didn't know while passing out was that, his life was going to change forever.
