Third pov:

Harry James Potter is 12 years old and known by many as the boy who lived. He is a boy with thick wavey and unruly dark brown almost charcoal-black looking hair (A/n: It's a mix of his parent's hair his father had thick loose curly and unruly dark brown hair and his mom had straight dark auburn red hair so he has a slight blend of both), a round but slim face, is below average height standing at 4'3, somewhat undernourished, with pale skin, and dull emerald green eyes. He is in his second year of studies at the prestigious school known as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry which makes him believe what people say. Of course, it didn't help that Harry had suffered 11 nearly 12 years of nothing but neglect and abuse from his relatives and grew up clueless about the wizarding world. Not many know but Harry has never been really used to praising or someone caring for him. Right now Harry sits alone in his dorm room on his for-post bed with the curtains closed his eyes were dry and red from all his crying because someone very close to him was attacked and petrified yesterday. He sat there staring at his closed curtain wondering why of all people was Hermoine attacked and right after their fight as well. It was then these thoughts led Harry to think over all that had happened in his life up until now unknowing that by doing this a change began in his subconscious as he takes in the full scope of his 12 years of life.

When Harry was 15 months old his parents were killed by a dark wizard and he became famous for something he doesn't really remember. He lived with his abusive relatives for the past 11 nearly 12 years being treated as though he was his relative's slave since he was 3 years old. Since the age of 3, Harry had been forced to do chores. He was forced to do all of the cooking, cleaning, and gardening. Every summer he woke up every day at 5 .a.m. cooking for the Dursleys their breakfast. He then spends his days working until 6 .p.m. slaving away. He tries to get all his chores done early if he can't he does his best to get it done on time. Anytime he does get his chores done he manages to not get beaten as badly by his relatives. When he could Harry would spend his time at the library five blocks from Dursley's home. Where he was adored by the old librarians who worked there and the elders who spent their time there. Harry had only a few places where he felt safe and felt happy.

During the summer the library is where Harry took refuge most from his bullies and abusive relatives. While his cousin Dudley and his friends were running around trying to find him playing the game they refer to as 'Harry Hunt' Harry was usually in the one place they couldn't find him because they never be caught dead in. If he wasn't in the library he would hide in one of the empty houses near the Dursleys or in a secret cave in the woods. Over the years since going to the library, Harry has read through both fiction and non-fiction. The types of books Harry tends to read at Little Whinging Library are astronomy, Greek mythology, history, different languages, romance, Shakespeare, anatomy, and many other things. With all, of Harry's reading and his decently excellent memory he is very smart but because of the Dursleys, he is forced to dumb himself down and hide his true smarts. He also hid some skills he had that he had taught himself, learned from others, or he had a natural talent for like Quidditch. By the age of 11, he was able to read, speak, and write multiple different languages fluently (The Languages: French, Chinese, Japanese, Welsh, Greek, Gaelige, German, Russian, Turkish, Spanish, Italian, and Bulgarian) which he tends to practice in a lot since the librarian only allows him to talk with her in different languages which she happens to be fluid in, cook meals from many different nationalities thanks to all the times at the library he looked up recipes on the internet and in cookbooks, he can play multiple instruments thanks to Ms.Figgs who taught him how to play two instruments, while he learned a few by himself (the instruments: piano, violin, harmonica, panflute, and guitar), and few other things no one besides a select few knows about.
