Little Harry watched as Tom was struck with his own killing curse. He felt a pain on his forehead but he didn't cry or fuss. He was rather quiet and calm. He watched as Tom's soul seemed to be hugged by a transparent figure. After a few seconds the soul seemed to calm into a wavering cloud as it disappeared into the night.

Harry felt somthing warm and soft graze his cheek. Slightly he was able to see the transparent figure as it brushed there finger against his face softly in a soothing manner.

A beutiful humming sound filled the room, it made him filled with comfort as the will to sleep. The comfort was one that only a mother could grant to there child. Harry soon drifted to sleep listening to the humming as he did.

Sirius ran through the house until he reached harrys room, he quickly entered and gasped when he saw Lillys dead body. He looked at Harry who was sleeping peacefully, then he felt somthing gently push him over to harry. But when he turned around nothing was there.

He snapped out of his thoughts and quickly but gently picked up harry out of his crib before running back out.

Harry woke up only to be met with darkness. Tomorrow was going to be his 10th birthday. So he would stay up tonight. He heard the banging on the door from his aunt petunia as his door was unlocked. He slept in the small cupboard under the stairs since he was first brought here. He turned on the small light and stretched before opening the door and walking out.

He quickly went to make food for the dursleys. He made his uncle Vernon some coffee as he heard him come stomping down the stairs.

His aunt and uncle were abusive to him, both physically and mentally. He was left on there doorstep when he was only a baby.

He spent his days doing chores around the house and making food, sometimes he even ran errands for them. He had gotten used to it though.

As soon as he placed the last of the food on the table his aunt demanded him to go and clean the lawn. It was about 99° outside and Harry's clothes weren't the best but they were all he had.

He gave a small ok and went to the door. As he was going out his cousin dudley came running down the stairs, he pushed Harry out the door as he fell on the ground. He then closed the door behind him laughing.

Harrys sighed and sat on his legs as he got his composure back. He stood up and started pulling the weeds that were in the lawn. As he did his only friends slithered over to him. Yes, slithered. When Harry was 7 he found out he could speak to snakes. He wondered upon a Black Racer snake. The snake had told him that he was a speaker and spoke what they called parseltongue.

He had gotten along with him and named him Ami. They had stuck together since then. Ami curled around his leg as harry picked out weeds.
He was out there for 2 hours before he finished. He was sweating and tired. When he went back inside he was yelled at for no reason, forced to clean dudleys bedroom, then to cook and thrown into his cupboard. He groaned a bit in pain as he held his head. He turned in the light and layed down stareing at the stares above him. As he heard his family going to bed he stared at the clock.

Soon it turned to 11:59, harry started to count down untill it turned 12. He sighed and said a silent happy birthday to himself. He felt a wave of something warm. As if a weight had been taken off his shoulders. He felt lighter and more at ease. As his eyes drooped a bit he felt himself shift under his old blanket of sorts and slowly drift to sleep with the feeling of someone holding him close. He was too tired to notice how the light had turned off by itself.

A beutiful man was kneeled infront of him with a look of worry. They reached out to him or, the person he was seeing through but they flinched back. He felt them shiver as the man's face looked sad and soft. He gently reached out again and held out the persons hand. He was shocked when he saw bruises on there arm.

The man brushed his hand over each of them as a light glowed at the bruises disappeared. The person he was seeing from felt a wave of shock, he looked back up at the man who gently smiled at him. He heard the person who he now knows is a little boy say "your a freak too?" In a naturally cold but desperate voice.

He saw the man's face morph into one of anger as he looked at the building behind him and muttered "filthy muggles".

Harry yawned as he opened his eyes. He thought back to his dream, he then opened his notebook that held all his dreams in them. There was only 2 pages written becouse be didn't really remember his dreams. But this was his most clear dream. He made sure to put a date on it before hiding it again.
