Dumbledore's Apprentice

Reflecting On Life

A/N: Hey your author here with an announcement before you read the first chapter.  I deleted the clarification chapter as I chose that since only 4 saw it I decided to take it out early to keep it a surprise for any others who read this story since the clarification had told you a bit of story info even if not all. However, I would like to thank the four who had read the clarification since I know some people do not enjoy those and just choose to skip right to the chapters. Now with that announcement out the way let the story begin.

Third pov:

Harry James Potter is 12 years old and known by many as the boy who lived. He is a boy with thick unruly wavy dark brown almost charcoal-black hair which he inherited from his father, slightly high cheekbones, thin pale lips, dull jade eyes, standing slightly below average height standing at 4'11, a lean muscular build with a starter six-pack, and pale skin tone. He was in his second year of study 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 suffered 11 nearly 12 years of nothing but neglect and abuse from his relative while growing up nearly 10 years with no knowledge of the wizarding world. Not many know but Harry was never really used to someone caring for him. From a young age, he had forced himself to grow up faster and take care of himself. Right now Harry was sitting alone in his dorm room on his four-post bed with his 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 with his curtains closed wondering why of all people why was it Hermione who was attacked and right after they had their fight as well. It was then these thoughts led to Harry thinking over all that has happened in his life up until now unknowing that by doing this a change began to happen within his subconscious as he takes in the full scope of his 12 years of life.

At 15 months old Harry had been left on the doorstep of the Dursleys after his parent's death and his relatives have not been very kind to him. For years Harry even wondered if he was truly related to the Dursleys. The reason for that is because for as long as Harry could remember he was the one thing that his supposed family hated the most. Since he had turned three he had been expected to do all the housework. He did the cooking, the cleaning, the gardening, washing the dishes, washing the cars, doing the washing up (laundry), and when it snowed he shoveled the snow. Even though he knew from watching how other families interacted with their children that how the Dursleys treated him was not normal he still put up with it. It was also when he turned 3 that his uncle Vernon started taking his stress and anger out on him not long after his other relatives began doing the same. Another thing the Dursleys did that made it clear they do not care for him since they try to make his school life hell as well.
