A/N: This is my first fanfic. Please bear with me if this one has any mistakes. I will try to make this story as enjoyable as possible. Also I don't own Harry Potter and its characters. They belong to J.K Rowling. Also warnings of abuse. Now onto the story

HELLO : Letter/speaking aloud

Hello: Spirit/memory

"Hello": Normal speech

'Hello': Thoughts

Hello : narrator

Pain.

He felt a lot of pain.

Ever since he remembers, he always felt pain. His family (ha! if he can call them that) always inflicted pain on him. His cousin always picked on him, his uncle always supported his cousin and abused him thinking that "he can beat the freakishness out of him". His aunt never bothered about him and silently supported her husband and son.

Harry Potter is a lonely 7-year-old boy. Anyone who have seen him would first describe his lightning bolt scar present on his forehead and his brilliant green eyes. He was always brilliant and observant and has a good memory but he doesn't show it in fear of his 'family'. He always wore his cousin's hand me downs too large for him and lived with the Dursleys and was always starved and abused (but they hadn't let the neighbors know about it) for his so called "weirdness" while his aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon always showered praise and love on his cousin Dudley for whatever he does. While he couldn't find peace at home, he couldn't find it at his school at school as well due to his cousin who always bullied him and the ones who he made friends with. Due to that reason any person hadn't tried to become friends with him. He always thought he was useless and a burden, but actually he was a wizard and The Boy Who Lived and the defeater of Lord Voldemort (or so the wizards and witches thought), which made him a celebrity in the wizards' world.

Harry was feeling all drowsy and painful. He was cleaning the attic (more like ordered) when he saw an old trunk. It was covered with cobwebs and dust and has the initials L.E. Feeling curious he opened the trunk and after clearing the dust saw a few letters and some sticks of wood in it. He had tried to see what was present in the letters but was interrupted by a loud "Boy ! Are you done cleaning?" by his uncle Vernon. He got terrified by that voice and not knowing what to do had unknowingly snatched a lone letter separated from the pile and 1 stick and put it within the folds of his worn outs. In a hurry to get to his uncle he didn't see Dudley sticking out his foot near the stairs and he tripped and fell down the stairs, covering the carpet with the remains of cobwebs and dust he cleaned. On seeing this his aunt berated him as "You foolish boy! How could you spoil the nice carpet! You are a good for nothing boy who was dumped on us. You should have died while your parents died." On hearing those words Harry's heart broke and was crying inside himself while he maintained a pained face on the outside. Continuing her rant, his aunt dragged him to his uncle who beat him soundly (who had fainted from the pain) while Dudley looked smug at being the reason for 'putting Harry in his place'. After his 'punishment' Vernon pulled Harry by his hair proclaiming him to be unworthy of feeding and had thrown him into his bedroom (cupboard). After some time when Harry regained consciousness, he had bawled for a long time on the words of his 'family' and wished that he can disappear and die rather than facing this hell. At that time, he remembered the goods he took from the trunk. He had seen that they had fallen onto his bed. On seeing that the letter had his aunt's name on it he opened it and started reading.

17th September1991,

Dear Petunia,

It is me. Your sister Lily. I am writing this letter to you because this maybe my last letter for a while. I have been in hiding with my husband and son, Harry in fear of Voldemort. His influence is increasing in the wizard world every day and many people are missing as well. The Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore has warned us about Voldemort chasing after us based on a prophecy issued which was heard by him. I cannot let him come after my family and have started experimenting on ancient magic. After many months of studies, me and James have found a charm which I have used on young Harry. The charm which I cast on him ensures a blood protection but it is the secondary function. The primary function of the charm is that it acts a conduit for a memory transfer which would activate if a verbal command is given and if anything would happen to us. The charm enables Harry to know about his heritage and magical powers. I doubt Dumbledore can ensure our safety and thus have cast these charms. I have always been doubtful of him and his order. They have done little to stop the war just stunning and throwing them in prison whereas Voldemort kills others and is closer to win the war. I am not saying that the order should kill others but Dumbledore doesn't understand that we should fight fire with fire sometimes. Also, he says that for redemption that one should be given 2nd chances but many death eaters like what they are doing. He also says some crap like "for the greater good" but he doesn't contribute to it by not eliminating the death eaters. He just seems fishy and I think he wants us to die so he can take Harry and mold him into his image. Let Harry know of us and his heritage if something happens to us. Also warn him about the headmaster. And also, please don't be biased on the view of magic at least for Harry. I just want my sister back and want to have fun with her like when we are children and hadn't known about magic.

Love,

Lily Potter

P.S: Give Harry a wand (yeah, the stick of wood) and make him tap with it on this parchment 3 times consecutively and he will find the verbal command. Once he reads it aloud, the charm activates and he will know the rest.

Harry was stunned. He thought that his parents died in a car crash as his aunt had told him. But it seems it's false. But he didn't want to believe about the absurdity called magic as well. That word was strictly forbidden in the Dursley household. But he wanted to know about his parents and what his mother had told in the letter as well. On seeing that no harm can be done, he took the stick and tapped the parchment 3 times. To his shock he found the words disappearing and a single word small in size written in red appear in the middle of the page. On coming closer he saw the word clearly. Unconsciously he uttered the word aloud

PRONGS

The next thing he knew he was falling into darkness and shouting out loud in fear. After what he felt like eternity he had glided onto the ground. After composing and calming himself he found out light streaming from a faraway hole (or so it seemed to him) and started walking towards it. Suddenly he found himself blinded by the light coming from everywhere in the room. After adjusting himself to the light he found himself staring at a red-haired woman who has the same eye colour as him.

I have been waiting for you to come here for a long time my son.

MOM!

A/N: Yeah, I just start off with a cliffhanger
