I still can't believe they left me in this hell hole. The people that were supposed to protect and care for me, but they through me out like a worthless piece of junk they never want to see again.

Well today's my birthday at least so- who am I kidding my birthdays are worse than any other day. And today is going to be my worst birthday yet. I'm turning 5 today and that whale said that he would start selling me to his friends to make so extra money. After he has a go at me first of course.

As if right on cue my cupboard door is slammed open and I'm dragged down to the basement. He throws me onto the floor and without any warning I feel something long and hard slam into me through my bum.

I could feel the outside tearing immediately and the inside start stretching, but it's not enough. After a moment he starts going again.

"If you make a single sound you little whore, I'm going to make you wish you were never born." Vernon explained while he was still slamming into me. I knew he would, I could see the whips and knives and multiple other weapons he used to beat me.

This went on for a full thirty minutes. Every few minutes he would exclaim something and I would feel a liquid inside a bum. It was really painful and I was bleeding quite a lot. Somewhere close to the end I couldn't take it anymore and I screamed. Unknown to me this was what Vernon was waiting for.

He stopped what he was doing, pulled out of me, and went towards the whips. "NO PLEASE UNCLE VERNON! IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN!" I begged and I begged. I was already in so much pain and I didn't think I could survive a beating.

"To bad you little whore! I'm going to beat the freakishness out of you whether you like it or not!" He screamed.

That's when everything becomes a blur of pain, blood, and screaming. I think he left after I had three broken ribs, a cracked skull, multiple new words carved into me, broken libs, torn muscles, and maybe even a few damaged organs. I didn't think I would live to see the next day. Eventually the pain became too much and I passed out on the cold floor of the basement begging for the pain to stop.

Abuse and rape scene over
Third person POV.

Unbeknownst to either person in the basement, two beings were watching this exchange with disgust. "How dare that bastard touch one of my children!" The female like being exclaimed. She had a cloak covering her that change to every color imaginable every few seconds. If you could get a look at her face you would see that it too changed, ranging from a beautiful young lady in her early twenties to old woman whose golden eyes were full of wisdom and kindness.

The man with her was covered in a pure black robe with a weapon that never stayed the same but was mostly in the form of a scythe or a sword. His face was covered in shadow as was every other part of his body. Underneath that shadow was a a skeleton that was as black as ash with burning blue flames where eyes should be. "I'll make sure that whale dies a death more painful and fitting than any other death I've ever over seen. No one touches my master like that and gets away with it."

These beings if you haven't guessed are Mother Magic and Death. They are here because this child is more important than most. He is the savior of the world, the only person powerful enough to stop Dumbledore's scheme's.

Lady magic, as she's more commonly known, walked towards that child waved her hand over him. Almost immediately his wounds healed and the scars disappeared. All of them accept the lightning bolt on his forehead. Death floated over and touched the scar. As soon as he did a black mist poured out of it and dissipated.

Lady magic picked up the 5 year old child and helped his magic become unshackled. As soon as she did he started to writhe in pain. His magic was changing his form into something, more fitting for the time being. After a few moments instead of a child Lady magic was holding a small panther with dark black fur, green tipped ears and a tail as well as bright Avada Kedavra green eyes (courtesy of Death).

Lady magic smiled, she knew that this place would not be safe for him to stay anymore. So she dismissed Death and apperated to 12 Grimmauld Place. She knew that his godfathers would care for Harry, even if he was stuck in a cat form for a while.

She left him by the by the door step and let the wards sense her presence, alerting the owners to Harry's presence. She didn't leave though, she wasn't just going to leave the poor boy alone. Not until he was inside and away from where people could take him. She waited for a few moments before the door was opened by Sirius Black-Lupin, he looked for someone but could see anyone he looked down and saw that there was a tiny black kitten asleep on the doorstep.

He picked up the tiny cat, and brought him inside. He thought that his children would like having a pet to take care of. Who knows, maybe they learn to be more responsible this way. That's what he'd tell Remus anyway.

Sirius POV.

I brought that kitten into the main living room when Remus and our twins were. Remus was reading a book about something or other. And the twins were playing tag around the room.

Acrux Puppis Black-Lupin had my eye and hair color but Remus' cheek bones, straight hair. Lyra Lupus Black-Lupin had Remus' hair light brown hair color and but my face and eyes. They were both born on March 20 1980, the spring equinox. Me and Remus couldn't be happier, they were balls of energy with my love from prank and Remus' live for stories. Acrux was born before Lyra so he was the heir to the house of Black after all. They were both being taught to be pureblood heirs though.

I transfigured a little cat bed for the kitty left him there. "Hey love, who was at the door?" Remus asked after giving me a soft peck on lips. "No one actually just a little black kitten. I was hoping we could keep it. He's asleep right over there if you want to see him."

Remus marked his page and walked over with me to where the little kitten was sleeping. The twins saw this and stopped their game of tag to see what was happening. When Lyra saw tbs cat she squealed and started petting him. Lyra was always begging for a pet and since they were twins Acrux joined in on the begging.

"He's so soft! What's his name?" Lyra asked never once did she stop petting the cat. "Well he doesn't have a name because Papa doesn't think we should keep him" I explained knowing what was going to happen next "Please papa can we keep him! Daddy says we can so why can't we!" Both Lyra and Acrux started begging. "Yeah Remus why can't they have a cat?" I joined in knowing this is going to be the funniest thing to happen today.

While we were arguing over whether we should keep the cat none of us noticed that he was awake and staring at us with eyes the brightest shade of green I've ever seen.
