In a little cupboard under the stairs, you could see a little boy in a mattress that looked like it wasn't washed since the day they bought it, said boy was no other than Harry Potter, he looked like a 9 years old even though he already is 10, skinny and a shorter than most kids his age, the reason why he isn't doing the chores his aunt Petunia Dursley nee Evans obligated him to do it's because hours ago his uncle Vernon Dursley decided that he wasn't getting any breakfast because he obtained better grades than his fat cousin, Dudley Dursley.

This isn't the first time little Harry got starved by his uncle, and certainly, it wasn't the worst.

When Harry was 4 years old he did his first display of accidental magic, the type of magic every witch and wizard does when they don't have control of their magic but Harry's case was very unusual.

Normal wizards and witches display their accidental magic at the age of 6 or 7 some even at the age of 8. This is normally related to the power levels they can display, or in other words their potential and capacity to do magic.

Every witch or wizard has a core, this core is the source of their power but this core alone can't do anything as it can't communicate with the body properly, every wizard has a channel to his power, you can imagine it as their second circulatory system.

Non-magical people or muggles have their core of power, of course, it's not as powerful a wizard but it doesn't mean that they couldn't do magic, except they can't as they don't have the proper channels to access to their core.

For powerful wizards it's normal to have big cores with ample channels to allow them to display more powerful magic, this is the case of little Harry Potter, as his core is almost twice the size of a normal wizard at the age of 4.

His uncontrolled power coupled with the inherent curiosity of a child made him summon a toy from the bedroom of his cousin when he was in the living room, that day was when Vernon Dursley decided that he didn't want to be influenced by his freakishness and the first time he was starved.

The little boy in the cupboard woke up startled and looked around he found that he was in his old cupboard.

'What happened here? Wasn't I dying? Why I'm in this hellish cupboard again? Could this be my brand of punishment as I didn't save my friends with my negligence?' Harry thought with sadness.

But then that changed with a sound that ringed in his ears.

*DING*
