Meet Harry Potter AKA Shade
Chapter 1
A small boy, no older than three, sat in the corner of a dark cupboard.
He had bruises on his arms and a broken rib or two.
All caused by his uncle; a sign of his "gratitude for taking care of that abnormal freak."
This behavior had been going on for as long as he could remember. In reality only two years had passed on since that fated day that he was found on their doorstep. In his mind it seemed so much longer.
They didn't want him and never hesitated to show it.
They considered him trash and magic a disease; and they would cure their nephew. They would beat the magic out of him or else kill him.
No one would care; surely they wouldn't miss one.
There were too many of those "horrible despicable abominations" out there already.
No one would notice if he simply disappeared.
Two years later and their treatment was obviously not working.
"Boy! What did you do again?" Vernon bellowed. "What have I told you about doing any freaky stuff? I thought I warned you."
Dull green eyes looked up trough scruffy black hair to his uncle.
3 years ago they were full of confusion. What did he do that was so wrong?
2 years ago they looked and filled with angst.
1 year ago they were full of dread and anticipation. They knew what was coming.
Now they were unresponsive, broken. His soul caged.
Once he had a clear voice, envied by angels and often filled the air with innocent laughter that brought smiles upon the strongest.
He didn't speak, not since a long time.
Speaking was considered as back talking and would result in more punishment.
So he simply hid his thoughts and opinions in his mind and surrounded them with metal fences and numerous locks.
Unknowingly he started concealing every emotion behind vast shields that many Occlumens vied for. Thus he became stoic and cool to the outside world, a stone statue independent and alone.
Only inside his safe cupboard did he allow what little emotion he could bare. The tears that he wouldn't allow his uncle to see.
The boy was 5 now, yet looked no older than 3. Angry red welts, cuts and burns were added daily his already malnourished body.
Hopes and dreams of a rescue and a loving family had long disappeared and forgotten. Despair was replaced with grim acceptance.
How much more could a child's mind take...
Before it breaks.
