Chapter 1: Bullies and a New Friend
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter and am in no way associated with J K Rowling or Warner Brothers.
Harry was laying down on the grass watching it flow gracefully in the wind remembering that fateful night when his mum and dad had sacrificed themselves to save him from Voldemort. Some might call it odd that he could recall an event that took place ten years ago as if it were yesterday. However, Harry Potter was not normal. This was not even his real name. His real name was Erfolg. He was in fact the last dragon still alive in England. His parents, who had also been dragons, had secretly helped in the wizard war against Voldemort and the death eaters. He knew that he could not let his parents sacrifice be in vain, as he also knew, as his parents had before him that Voldemort had not died that night. His parents had sacrificed their lives to buy him time to put a stop to Voldemort once and for all.
He snorted in disgust remembering when Dumbledore had said that his so-called family would love him. "That has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've heard of in my life" he thought to himself.
They were not even related to him. His mom had been adopted by his aunt's family and the differences could not have been more pronounced. He was a kind and caring individual. However, that didn't mean that people could just walk over him as his so called family soon found out, although that didn't stop them from trying. His so-called family called themselves normal and him a freak of nature. "Rather ironic really" he thought to himself when his aunt, uncle, and cousin were anything but what normal people would perceive as normal. They were in fact some of the worst people in the neighborhood. His cousin because he tried to inflict pain, both physically and mentally, and his aunt and uncle because they let him get away with it always getting him out of trouble.
Suddenly Harry was brought out of his pondering when a young girl about his age ran past him in sheer terror. He looked up to see that the young girl was being chased by his fat cousin Dudley Dursley, who was attempting to hit her with a cricket bat. Harry sighed in frustration silently wondering if the Dursleys would ever realize that their so-called normality was about as abnormal as you could get. Getting up he quickly got in the way of his cousin's path. His cousin attempted to hit him but he easily dodged it, knocking the bat out of his fat cousin's hands as he did so. Harry then punched his cousin in the nose enough for it to start bleeding causing him to run away back to the house they lived in.
Shaking his head, he looked around for the girl to see if she was all right. He quickly found her standing a few feet away.
"Are you alright?" Harry asked the girl.
"Who, who are you?" The girl asked still obviously terrified.
"My name's Harry, Harry Potter" he said. "What's yours?"
"Hermione, Hermione Granger" she said nervously.
"Did he manage to hurt you?" he asked, concerned for her wellbeing.
"No, I managed to stay ahead of him" she said with a small smile. "I guess being good at running in school paid off after all."
"Do you want to go for a walk together?" Harry asked nervously. Despite never being hurt physically himself by the Dursleys he still had no friends because of Dudley scaring away all of the other kids.
"Sure" she said with another small smile. With that, they headed out to have a nice relaxing walk away from the influences of any Dursleys.
