Harry Pov:

It has been about a year and a half since my life with my relatives has gotten better. In a couple weeks, I will be 6 but I stand at the height of a kid who is turning 8 or 9. I have friends, don't have to dumb myself down, no longer get beaten by the Dursleys, I no longer have to do all the chores, I get paid by the neighbors to do odd jobs for them throughout the year, I no longer have to sleep in the cupboard under the stairs, and the Dursleys actually feeds me three healthy meals a day. Along with that I actually joined a jr. colinary classes that was to teach kids to cook and bake, a gymnastics class, dance class, and a cotillion class. These activaties of course never stop me from my training with Grandpa Sam who was the next door neighbor to the Dursleys who in his mid-50s. Samuel Rosier a man who never believed the lies the Dursleys always told about me a man who often lied to the Dursleys about having odd jobs for me that he pays them a bit money for to have me over when really he was training me and giving me proper food with this wierd liquid medicine which had help me get some meat on my bones which is why I had not been so under weight when I had my full check up by the school nurse.  For the past 2 and half I had actaually spent alot of my time with gandpa Sam. At first he just had me spend time with him watching tv or movies with him while we ate some food. Then as I came by more we talk while we ate or play chess. Then after a year of me getting to know him hearing most his life story he started training me teaching me all the things he known even allowed me to call him grandpa as I was the closest he will ever have to a grandson since his wife and son had died in a fire when he was out on tour one time when his son was 10 and he never married again I be the closest to a grandson as he get. I was fine with it after all I grown to see him like a grandfather. Though there were times he had to take business trips out of the country for a while at different times during the year when the Dursleyswere still abusive those times were harder because I didn't have my greater safe haven that was better then the library in the form of Grandpa Sam house which ment starvation and alot more beatings from the Dursleys. 

I was so happy when the school sent out those letter three months before school ended about how the school nurse would be giving everyone full check ups because the Dursleys had to actually feed me better even if it was only small portions three times a day it was more then the Dursleys used to feed me. So for five months getting small protioned meals from the Dursleys combined with getting large portion meals from Grandpa Sam with his weird liquid color medicine for the first time and doing it repeatedly for five months along with his training by the time it was my turn to see the nurse I had not only grain some weight on me I had a huge growth spert. I always wondered how since for the longest time I was quite short for my age even though I had been turning 5 at the time I was the height of someone turning 3 years old. I had asked Grandpa Sam if it was really because of his medicine and ask him what the medicine was. He always told me it was and that he will tell me when he older along with making me promise not to tell anyone. I of course promised fearing that he get into trouble if I did tell anyone not that anyone would believe me. It was after my promise he gave me the medicine like he usually did when we had meals together little did I know that my aunt was spying on us peering over her backyard fense. Later I heard them talking with grandpa Sam Ithey called him a freak like me and saying things about our kind which Grandpa Samuel said he was and he told my relatives that he sees me as a Grandson and they better not cause me to even shed a single tear because he ruin them if they did he told them how not even some guy name Dumbledore would save them as he has many friends who he could call a favor in for who make them dissapear. This of course made me think he ment military buddies of his decided to not say anything as grandpa told me he would tell me everything when I was older so I just be patient for then and grandpa will tell me everything. So I had snuck back upstairs to my room after ease dropping with a smile I was not sure what the Dursley's ment by our kind or who Dumbledore was but he was happy that what ever the Dursleys were talking with Grandpa Sam about he was proud to be compared to the man who he saw as a grandfather.

Though I was close to Grandpa Samuel there were still things he kept from me which he told me he tell me when I am older which was a fecquent claim he said when I always asked him about that strange liquid medication in the past.  After asking a bunch of times I come to except it and just happily heard more stories about his life he willing to share with me and it from our many talks I learned that hewas was a french itialian men who was born and raised in america. His mother was an italian woman his father was a french man. He was a retired mariane who has mastered multiple fighting styles in his 55 years of life starting as early as 5 years old. The hand to hand combat styles he had learned and mastered are taekwondo, lerdrit, karate, krav maga, Judo, and jujitsu. The man may be in his mid 50s and shorter then me but he could whoop my butt up and down the block with easy. He was one of the few who didn't believe the Dursleys lies back when I was still being abused. He had been training me since I was 4 in mastering all the fighting styles he knew. Not only did he teach me hand to hand combat but he taught me other things he knew about such as different languages which he was fluent in multiple of (A/N: The languages Samuel knows besides english are: french, welsh, japanese, chinese, greek, bulgarian, gaelic,spanish, latin, and italian) so far I can only speak french, welsh, and italian fluently, other things he taught me was to shoot a bow and arrow, how to tie a tie, and how to fence. Though many would take alot longer to obsorb information for others especially when it comes to language. But I have never really been your average kid I read alot of books absorbing all the knowledge like a spongue to water. Even if I didn't have a near semi good memory or that I could read 23,000 words a minute. I was an estremely hard worker which is why I was getting really good at cooking, dancing,  gymnastics, learning hand to hand combat, and fencing.  Grandpa Sam congradulate me for each acomplishment I make in something it may be small but to hear the man I look up to and wish to grow up like say he proud of me I work even harder. Of course he never lets me push my self but he says that by the time I am 11 he would teach me all he knows if I kept this up meaning that in each hand to hand combat he taught me i be the highest level in them then all that left would be experiance which is what I will have to get by sparing with others in compitans or in dojos.

At the moment I was doing sitting with Grandpa Samuel watching Star Wars with him. The Dursleys were on an outing for Dudleys birthday taking him to the fair. Tomorrow I will be going with Grandpa Samuel just the two of us. He told me I could do what ever I want from there at the gift shop or the flea market vendors around the area who sell different things. Though I did not want to take advantage of Grandpa Samuel kindness he still spoils me like most grandparents do there grandchildren. It why he took me to all the classes I took intrest in and even pays for my classes since the Dursleys never would. It was him who suggest I took cotillion saying that it would come in handy for me in future since he wanted I was inherit everything from him in his will. I don't like talking about losing him but I was not naive to know that Grandpa Samuel would someday die. I was honored that he named me the main benifitiary in his will since he owns some very well off businesses one of them being he owns a winery with a 935 acres vineyard he inherited from his mother side.  As said Grandpa Samuel taught me everything he knows and spoils me as though I was his own grandson. He done so much and wants me to know everything he does because he said it will come in handy in the future and because of me being his heir.  I sit next to grandpa Sam happily eating some Carsini's Pizza which is another one of grandpa's family businesses he inherited from his mother. Though I love his family pizza I like pizza from other places as well. On some occassions grandpa would order us pizza from Pizza Hut or Lil' Caesars.  I sit quietly watching  Star Wars making sure to eat with manners even if the food can be messy as I do not wish to eat like Vernon or Dudley who eat like cave men.  I look to grandpa who hands me a  cup of freshly poured pepsei thanking him before turning back to the flatscreen to watch the movie while drinking my pop. All in all life was great and though I still wish I had some thing to conect me to my parents I didn't mind as much anymore because even if the Dursleys still hated me I know what it like to be loved by family because even if he not blood Grandpa Samuel was family to me far more family to me then the Dursleys ever could be.
