A/N -Chapter 3 is now revised.
Chapter 3 – Rebirth
Dursleys had always been cruel to Harry. He had been beaten by Vernon for even the smallest mistakes. He had been beaten with belts, kicked in side and ribs and always shouted by both Petunia and Vernon. He had always been referred to a freak of nature by his relatives. Even his cousin who was rotten and pampered by Vernon and Petunia was never punished for hitting Harry. The whale sized kid was given a free hand to beat Harry and blame for everything includinh his own mistakes. Harry will be severely punished for the mistakes of his cousin.
Harry had been locked in his cupboard for days due to him getting good marks on his test, for which instead of getting a complement Vernon and Petunia said that Harry had cheated as he was not smarter than Dudley. He had also been denied food other than soup and leftover bread and hence feeling unwell for the last 3 days before the incident with Vernon. Despite that he was forced to do his chores, and to the level of being outrageously cruel, Dursley's had not given the child any water or food for another 2 days.
When Vernon had thrown him into the cupboard to heal himself, Harry's head banged the ceiling and he fell to his mattress and did not get up. His energy levels were very already at its lowest, were now completely fading.
Harry Potter had never been loved by his relatives though he had often wished for their acceptance. As he was on verge of death his Eidetic memory started to play his short life which he had lived with his parents. He had never known his parents till date since these memories, which had no trigger till date, had remained dormant.
He saw how his parents had loved him, how his mother used to put him in her lap and hum lullabies, how she made fuss at his refusing to eat, how his father had played with him and even got him things that would get him in trouble with Lily, how his uncle 'Siri' used to play with him, pampered him and snuggle with him in his dog form by his crib when he slept, and how uncle 'Mooyee' used to tell him stories about 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Puss in Boots'.
He also remembered another rat like friend of his father who used to come home but never played with him, what was his name eh.. yes Peter.
And he also remembered his first Christmas where Siri became Santa and his first birthday when his Da bought him a kids broom which he had spent the rest of day flying on. He was happy to remember those loving and sweet memories with his loving parents and uncles. He somehow knew that he was dying and he was also happy that atleast now he will be joining his parents in afterlife and that made him even happier.
While Harry was dying, Voldemort's horcrux within him, which had been dormant till now came to life. It felt its vessel die and it knew that it would die too. Lord Voldemort had created six horcruxes till he came to kill Harry, as he was fearful that his journey in afterlife will be as lonely as had been his life, that he never wanted to die.
He had created Harry as an accidental horcrux, as the part of his soul that still resided in his inhuman body had already further split due to twin murders of James and Lily. Lily had been an unspeakable before she went into hiding in Godric's Hollow, and she had performed a complex blood and soul ritual on Harry which she had successfully hidden even from James. The ritual would keep the beneficiary safe from any harm if the blood of the one to sacrifice themself are same.
James and Lily's sacrifice and the ritual performed by Lily saved the life of her son and the killing curse backfired and destroyed Voldemort's body. The smaller split part of his already splintered and damaged soul moved away and went to the most powerful source in the room and attached itself into Harry's scar.
The protection created due the ritual was now in very skin and blood of Harry which the soul fragment of Voldemort failed to recognize again. As soon the horcrux attempted to take over the body of the boy, Harry's protection by his mother as well as his own magic surged forward to combat the intrusion.
The black aura which had surged from the scar on Harry's forehead tried to get out and enveloped the boys whole body.
This was followed by a sudden surge of purest white light which came from Harry's body and enveloped the black aura and then another huge golden aura enveloped the body so that black aura was now trapped within these two magnificently bright lights.
Voldemort being the evil incarnate and extremely powerful affected both these auras. It tried to overpower the golden aura first but since it was merely a tiny fraction of Dark Lord's vile soul, it was no match to the pure golden of the boy's lifeforce infused with the purest of magics and from the other side it was the love of Harry's mother, a feeling which he completely abhorred overwhelmed his soul.
Both white and golden auras expanded further and vile black soul fragment started to shrink and as it died it gave out a loud shriek. The destruction of Voldemort's soul had created a crack in the wall of the cupboard as well as destroyed Petunia's immaculate garden and other adjoining properties at Privet Drive.
When the house shook, and loud shriek disrupted their precious sleep, the Dursley's came down to investigate and what they saw petrified the disgusting pair. Dudley was still hiding in his room.
What was now left of Voldemort in Harry was merely a thin shimmery layer which was no longer black but also it was neither pure white nor golden. The shimmering layer which represented the knowledge which dark lord had acquired till date his body was destroyed and his memories, as well his magical power that resided in the soul fragment, was absorbed by Harry Potter.
Once the thin shimmering layer was absorbed within Harry's magic, the golden aura now was at edge on the white one and looked as if it was caressing the child. The auras burnt brighter and brighter and the bruises and injuries on the body of Harry Potter began to heal. The small malnourished and abused boy seemed to be asleep but at peace. During the explosion Harry's body had moved to Living room. As the auras merged back into his body which had been floating in the air gently got lowered to the Living room floor.
Vernon hesitantly got up and before he could begin his rant about destruction of his property by the freak, Dumbledore had arrived and had started to observe at the room as well the Dursley's behaviour.
Once he had made his presence known Dumbledore tried to speak to Vernon. However he was enraged by Dursley's behaviour and was not going to listen to Vernon trying to threaten him. With the evidence of cruel and abusive behaviour of Dursley's in front of him, he stunned the ranting fatso and glared at Petunia for her abhorrent behaviour with her own blood.
The wizarding world may have been filled with many astute flaws but child abuse was looked down by even darkest of families. He legilimised Vernon for further evidence and what he saw enraged him so much that he cancelled the blood wards that he had erected to safeguard Harry from anyone meaning harm to him, but had spectacularly failed to save him from within.
He vowed that he will not let these vile humans get unpunished. He told Petunia how she shall be ashamed of herself for her jealousy of Lily who will never forgive Petunia for what she had done to her son, and shall hope that she would not meet her in afterlife soon. Petunia paled to his last statement. With a look of disappointment and disgust which may have probably shamed the Dark Lord himself, Dumbledore gently picked up unconscious Harry from the floor and disapparated to the gates of Hogwarts.
