Life is hard for one named as Harry Potter. The one who was orphaned at the tender age of a year and a half has been living at Dursley house at Surrey since then, he has no recollection of his parents or what happened to them. Unknown to him, he is famous for his deed of vanquishing Lord Voldemort in the magical world. He is not so famous in Dursley house, he is often regarded as Freak, he was physically and mentally abused by his so-called "Family".
His cousin, Dudley Dursley, his bane of existence has always been abusive to him. He was a spoiled-rotten kid who has no regard for anything. His day is spent in mainly two things, first and foremost food and second tormenting his cousin.
Now lets come to our main character, harry potter. He is a small child for his age and wears threadbare second handed clothes of his cousin that dwarfed him. He is thin, some might say even scrawny. He is distinguished by his lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead and his messy hair. His eyes are luminescent green which makes old ladies swoon over him.
His Aunt Petunia and her husband, Vernon Dursley, didn't like him very much. He lived in the cupboard under the stairs, and was often refused food or basic hygiene facilities, even though he worked very hard with his cooking, cleaning, and gardening, trying to be a "Good" boy like his cousin, who never had to do any chores, let alone the physically demanding ones assigned to Harry.
Dudley has invented a game "Harry Hunting" where he and his gang of thugs will catch Harry and beat him till they are satisfied. This game had an unintended effect on Harry, he became fast for his age and smart also. He knew complaining to teachers may save him for some time in the classroom but it will have an adverse effect as soon as he is out in the open. He knew any punishment them it would come back multifold to him at his "home".
He knew only one way to deal with it is to not get caught. He started becoming aware of his surroundings and even somewhat paranoid for his age. His school life ended at the bullies because no one came near him in fear of themselves becoming a target.
Eventually, he found his recluse, library, a place which is unknown to Dudley and his thugs.He found that this may be his key to escape his relatives in distant future. He started slow but eventually books started rubbing off him. He was able to read fast and even comprehend better than those of his age. He became very much knowledgeable for his age. At first, he studied the basic subject related to his academics but slowly he began to expand his horizons. Mythical stories and fantasy novels became a favourite of his. One day he came across a mythical named "The legend of the Eye", it was the story about a secret society made up of the most skilled artisans from around the world; illusionists, mentalists, escapists, psychics, hypnotists, card-trickers and mediums. He began to think about his life which can be appropriately described as Hell. He thought Dursleys as pharaohs of his life and himself as a peasant, why not he should become a follower of this Legend and make sure at least he was fulfilled. He studied any and all the books he could find on tricks. He got glimpse of the science behind lock-picking, misdirection, illusions and mentalism. He began to incorporate their values in his life. Now that his life got a purpose and direction, He began to tolerate his day to day life with new way. Any free time became his time to progress. He knew their maybe a light at the end of this torment filled tunnel. Thus began the life of Eyes newest follower, Harry Potter. He swore that he will not only escape from torments of his relatives but he will also become a free-spirited trickster. He will help who needs help but will not be walked over. He will punish whoever wrongs him. He will become best of the best trickster of all time.
