Chapter 2: One-Eyed Angel
Harry hadn't seen the light of day for two weeks, he had been punished for being a freak, again.
Harry hadn't eaten at all, not that he could with his cracked jaw. His Uncle had only let Harry out to be beaten and kicked, Harry only cried after the cupboard door was closed.
It was Christmas Eve, which amounted to even more punishment and chores than usual.
It had been two weeks since he had seen the mysterious lady, he was beginning to think that she was just a dream. For the longest time, Harry had dreamt of a mysterious relative coming to take him away, to anywhere but where he was now. But it was just a useless dream, not real…
He closed his teary eyes as he hugged his own scrawny, underfed body with his skinny arms.
"Happy Chwissmas to me…" He mumbled faintly to the dark.
Knock, knock.
A faint knocking sound could be heard, Harry thought it was just his imagination, so he closed his eyes once again and tried to shut out the cold went through his ratty thin clothes and chilled his tiny body.
Knock, knock, knock.
The three knocks were soft as before, but his relatives don't knock, Harry wondered who it could be.
Knock, knock.
Then the doorknob turned, and there stood a thin figure. It was her.
"You're weal." Harry breathed in awe. "Awre you gwonna twake me away?"
"If you want, and for crying out dug I'm (censored) real." She said quietly.
"Ewen if I'mma bad boy? Oh a fweak?" Harry sniffled.
"You're not bad," The woman felt rage at the Dursleys for doing this to any child, those jerks would pay later. "And definitely not a freak, you're a good boy from what I've seen and those monsters you call relatives are the real bad people here."
Harry looked down, then looked up when the woman spoke again.
"Would you like to go with me?"
Harry responded with a vigorous nod of his head, normally he would've panicked at the contact but being around this nice lady made him feel, safe, and loved. Like all those times when he dreamed about having family come to take him away.
But the tiny child felt compelled to ask.
"Will you hwit me when I'wm bwad?"
"Never."
She left a bunch of regular plain old prankster styled booby traps all over the Dursley house, a little something to wake those monsters up in the morning...
Then she cradled Harry like a mother would an infant, and Harry relaxed as she carried him out of the Dursley house, never to return…
Harry curled up in her arms as the cold winter air blew around them.
Then Harry asked another question.
"Wot's yo nwame?"
"You can call me Circus." And with that Harry curled up again, and fell asleep in Circus's arms.
Circus smiled, maybe the world wasn't so screwed up after all, if kids who go through stuff like that, can still trust a stranger like her. She looked up at the darkened sky as the white snowflakes fell like tiny crystals.
"Merry Christmas, Harry." And with that, she walked on, with a sleeping Harry in tow.
And some may say that Circus, the stranger who rescued Harry, with her dark red hair and her one (visible) emerald green eye looked oddly like someone long thought dead. But whether she was Circus or someone else, that wouldn't have mattered to Harry, because to him,
She was Circus, his one-eyed angel.
And that's all she needed to be.
A/N: Yeah I know, but I have like a million (exaggerating) fanfics to finish. I decided to turn this, into like a prequel (sort of), also I felt like writing a sappy three-shot. I will write a sequel once I get some other fanfics out of the way. I have plans for this plot-line, but no the sequel won't span into the books, its going to be purely set in Pre-Hogwarts unless someone(s) can convince me otherwise. Please review, it makes me sad when no-one reviews! The more reviews I get the more inclined I get to write the sequel! So please review! (Oh and yeah I know it's not Christmas, but I thought it was a great fit.)
