The One That He Will Fear
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and anything connected to it in the books written by JKR or in movies by Warner Bros. Please note that the disclaimer posted is applicable to all chapters in this story and hence will not be repeated at each chapter.
Author's Note: Well as we now have this disclaimer out of our way, let me give you basic summary of the story. The story starts when Harry is 5 years old and almost dies due to the neglect of his relatives to feed him for days. His body fights to survive and in process annihilates the Dark Lord's Horecrux within Harry. Even though the Horecrux is gone, he still retains the knowledge (not the memories) and power of Voldemort's soul which boosts his own already great power. This story will not have any sort of bashing. I also do not like Draco Molfoy or Snape so there will be the way they are in Canon.
Pairing- this will be a Harry/Ginny pairing. This will also be an AU and a bit darker Harry.
Sorry I had been very busy at work in last couple of months and did not have time to do anything else.
Please note that I am editing the story to fit the final outlook I want it to achieve. The story will now progress when all existing chapters have been updated. Chapter 1 is now updated.
Chapter 1 – End of a soul
At No. 4 Privet Drive a boy with unmanageable black hair and the most enchanting emerald Green eyes lived with his relatives. The boy was merely five to six years old and he could have been seen wearing battered baggy clothes atleast twice his size which seem to be hung on a very lean and malnourished frame. His name was Harry Potter. He had been living with his only living relatives, his aunt Petunia who had a horse like face and his uncle Vernon Dursley who was fat with a walrus mustache. Petunia and Vernon had a boy called Dudley who was of age similar to Harry but was fat exactly like Vernon.
While Dursleys were against anything abnormal, Harry was anything but a normal child. He was a wizard and his parents had actually died at hands of a dark wizard who called himself Lord Voldemort. They had willingly sacrificed themselves to save Harry from Voldemort.
Dursleys had treated Harry inhumanly since he had been left by Albus Dumbledore at their doorstep on that fateful night when the Potters were killed.
Till the age of 3, Harry had always believed that his name was either 'boy' or 'freak'.
It was a common occurrence at No. 4 Privet Drive, that Harry was beaten, starved and blamed for anything and everything that went wrong at the Dursleys.
Vernon Dursley was a man with no patience and would hit Harry physically whenever he was angry or Harry did something that was forbidden or even for something that he did not do. In short Harry was Vernon and Dudley's punching bag and a personal slave. In any of those times he had broken a rib or a bone in boy's little body. Dursleys had always encouraged Dudley to beat Harry whenever he wanted to.
In last 3 years Harry had broken most of his ribs atleast once and have had a broken wrist and an ankle at times. But due to fear of getting caught they never took him to see a doctor and rather each time Vernon would throw him in his cupboard to heal himself magically even though the Dursleys hated magic.
Harry had been told by Dursleys that his father was a useless drunkard and his mother was a whore. Allegedly Harry's parents had died in a car accident due to drunken driving and he had somehow survived with just a scar on his forehead.
Dursleys had many times expressed their contempt that he had been left at their doorstep by a man called Dumblydore at the fateful night when his parents had been killed, without any compensation to give feed, clothe him and to provide him a place to stay.
Harry Potter had Eidetic memory where the mind remembers everything read, heard or even smell and sensations perfectly with complete recall at will.
When Voldemort had tried to kill Harry, the killing curse had rebounded on Voldemort and his body was destroyed.
Unknown to anyone Voldemort had gone too far into dark arts and had created multiple Horcruxes to make himself immortal. When his body was destroyed (which never happens with a killing curse) his soul remaining in the body latched itself to only alive thing in the room at that time and Harry had survived and was left with only a unique lightening shaped scar at his forehead.
Neither Harry nor Dursleys were aware that Harry and his scar were famous in Wizarding world where he was known as Boy-Who-Lived and was a celebrity.

Present Day
Little Harry had been washing dishes after the dinner that Vernon had hosted for a prospective client of his firm. a plate which was part of Petunia's favorite China collection slipped from his little fingers and dropped to floor disintegrating into many pieces. Harry was terrified and wished that he be not punished for his mistake. The pieces suddenly got together and the plate was repaired as if it was never broken. Unfortunately though Petunia had seen this and she started shouting at Harry in her shrilly voice. Vernon who had just seen the client out of the house came and when told about his un-naturalness started beating Harry with his belt. He was so angry that despite his efforts the boy did not stop his abnormal behavior, he started kicking Harry which led to some broken ribs. Harry was then thrown into his cupboard without any food and water.
He had also not been given anything to eat as part of lunch that day by Petunia as he had failed to clean the garden.
Dursleys had kept him locked up for the next 2 days without food and water. Only time he was allowed out was to use the washroom.
Due to broken ribs which his magic failed to heal due to lack of food and water, Harry was finding it difficult to breathe and was unable to even move. He felt that he will die due to his injuries.
He was lying on his back on an excuse of a mattress, that Vernon had thrown in the Cupboard for him to sleep on when he was first shoved into the cupboard. Harry desperately tried to stay awake, but his body refused as his back was injured due to the beatings he had taken with the belt and broken ribs, he had little energy left and darkness claimed him. His breathing became shallow and he went into shock. His last memories and thoughts were of his parents which came forward as the mind started to close due to oncoming death.
He could remember and feel the love of his father who he had called Da, and for his mum who had sacrificed herself by taking the killing curse meant for him. His soul was filled with the immense love he had felt from his parents and also his godfather who he called "Siri". Also, he remembered another face who he used to call "Mooye".
If anyone would have been able to see inside the cupboard, they would find that young Harry's body was lifted almost to the ceiling of the cupboard and was encased within a blinding white light. Outside that bright white light being Harry's pure magic, there was a black aura represented by Dark Lord's soul which was right now fighting for its survival by attacking Harry's magic and trying to envelop the white aura. But it was trapped by the golden aura represented by Lily's love and soul that she had sacrificed to save her precious child. All this while the scar at Harry's forehead was hot and swollen with blood oozig out.
Eventually Lily's selfless sacrifice which had saved him from the killing curse worked its magic again and the black aura started to shrink and with a loud shriek was completely disintegrated. If one was to check right now Harry's scar was now barely visible white lightening shape.
The resulting explosion from disintegration of Voldemort's soul had rattled No. 4 and entire neighborhood and the Dursleys came down angrily from their bedroom. Vernon was furious that his sleep was disturbed and had decided that he will give the boy a good beating for creating such ruckus that he will remember for his life. But when the Dursleys reached the living room they were shocked and petrified. Harry's body was floating in the air and was surrounded by a blinding white aura that was now flaring even brightly.
Paralyzed and unable to move or close their eyes, the Dursleys silently watched the aura recede into the boy's healed yet still malnourished body. As the aura fully receded into Harry, his body gracefully landed to the living room floor.
Had the Headmaster of Hogwarts been in his office at the moment, he would have noticed that one of his silver trinkets had stopped working and had completely melt down.
