Disclaimer: Once again I do not own Harry Potter. All of it belongs to J.K Rowling, I could never write as well as her.

(I would like to note that the experiences of eating disorders are based on my own. Also based off another friend of mines experiences,plus I will do some extra research. So I am not pulling all of this out of my ass.)Also I am not from UK, so the speech pattern will be in the only way I'm familiar with.I will tryy a little. I decided this is going to be different to the story line so AU it is. Also i'm starting this chapter back when harry was younger and it will eventually get to the intro scene.
Summer at the Dursley's house at the end of Harry's 2nd year
'Waste of space'
'Fat'
'Pig'
'Disgusting'
'I told you they would fatten you up at that place, boy. Look, at you becoming even more of a bloody freak.'
All the whispers repeat in his head.
Harry was jolted awake drenched in sweat and confused by his surroundings. 'Stupid dreams.' Remembering he is alone in a grassy field hiding out from the Dursley's. 'Guess I should get back before they notice.' He sighs and heads back reluctantly.
Walking up to the door he tries to open it without success. 'Hello?' When no one answers he realizes the car is not in driveway. 'Great! They left me locked out, again. I hope they are not gone for the weekend, not that they would have remembered me anyways.' He scopes the house looking for an open window somewhere. Walking to the living room window he notices it is open, 'Yes!' Walking to the staircase he see's his trunk and Hedwig's cage in front of the door with a note taped to it. 'What..?'
He picks up the note and reads the messy writing:
'Boy! We are leaving and when we come back you best be gone!. We saw the letter of the freaks kicking you out of there stupid school. I don't care were you go just do not be here!.'
'I should have seen that coming..' Opening the front door harry drags his trunk outside in the now chilly nighttime. 'I have no idea where I'm going but as long as it isn't here.' After walking for hours harry sits on cool sidewalk out of breath.
'If only you hadn't eaten that slice of bread earlier. Maybe you wouldn't be so tired already, pig.'
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he lays on the sidewalk staring at the stars. 'I wish someone was with me.'
Suddenly the wind picks up and he see's a large fuzzy black blurr. 'Who is there?' Pulling out his wand he points it at the blur and then suddenly a large purple bus appears in front of him. 'AAAAH!' he screams,jumping back and tripping on the sidewalk behind him.
'You alright there mate? Stan Shunpike, welcome to the Knight Bus. Let me help you there.'
'Erm,uh thanks..I'm..er Neville..Longbottom' Harry says as he is helped up. Watching as the man put his trunk on the bus he climbs aboard. 'So were you off to?' Stan asks expectantly. 'O erm Diagon Alley, please.'
'Alright, you hear that Ernie? Hit it!' Stan yells to an older kooky looking bus driver. Suddenly the bus lurches and Harry flies back onto a bed. 'Oof' He decides holding onto the bed for dear life is his best option as the bus driver laughs loudly… Just when harry thought he may not survive the bus halts suddenly and he flies forward landing on the floor.
Seeing stars Harry is helped up by Stan 'Well here we are Mr. Longbottom, Diagon Alley have a good evening.' Walking into the Leaky Cauldron, Harry is greeted by a strange man. 'Welcome Mr. Potter, the Minister is waiting for you.' Confused Harry just nods and follows him into a room where the minister is waiting for him. After a brief meeting with him and knowing he is allowed back to Hogwarts Harry heads to the room he is staying in. Flopping down on the bed carelessly his stomach grumbles. 'Stupid body, you can wait..' He grumbles then rolls over and passes out for the night.
