Prologue
"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number 4 Privet drive were proud to say they were normal thank you very much!"
-J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone)
"Normal my arse" Young Harry Potter of Number 4 Privet drive, nephew of Petunia Dursley, thought to himself. He was a young boy with messy jet black hair and impossibly bright emerald green eyes that lay behind black wire-framed glasses that have been duck taped multiple times, *ding!* the sound of the doorbell ringing
"Boy! Go get the mail!" The fat whale of a man known as Vernon Dursley called out to his nephew
"Yes, Uncle Vernon" Harry responed quietly as he piled his cousin, Dudlet Dursley's plate with bacon. He walked to the door and saw something that made him do a double take.
Was that, a letter? Addressed to him?
He picked up the letter carefully as if afraid he would tear it apart.
"What's taking you so long, boy!? Checking for letter bombs?!" His Uncle bellowed from the kitchen.
Harry immedietly picked up the letters then threw the one for him into the cupboard, even though the letter was in the cupboard that was all Harry could think about all day.
THIS LINE MEANS THERE'S A TIME SKIP
That night, Harry found the letter where he hid it, and picked it up.

Harry, held the letter numbly and stared at it, then he thought of something. he picked up a pin then picked the lock of his cupboard and saw an owl still outside, It's what brought the letter. He picked up a pen and wrote a reply on the back of the letter
Dear Prof. Minerva McgonagallI'm a little bit confused as my Aunt and Uncle have never told me anything about this, I mean magic. So excuse me for feeling a tad bit suspicious. Could you please send some one to explain?SincerelyHarry PotterHarry waved for the owl then stroked it's feathers.
"Would you mind delivering this to whoever sent it?"
The owl looked at him unimpressed, then snatched the letter out of his hand and flew away.
"I guess that's solved" Harry thought before crawling back to his cupboard and locking himself in.
What do you think so far? Is it a bit rushed? maybe. I'll probably write one-shots before I upload the next chapter. It's pretty short but I promise the next ones will be longer!
