Chapter 1- Survival

Nine year old Harry Potter had finally had enough. Ever since the dark haired young boy could remember he was belittled and called a freak by his relatives. Every year that the young Potter could recall his birthday present had been a beating, with each present getting progressively worse as the years wore on. Harry was not a stupid child. Every time the green eyed youth would tell someone in a position of authority or try to run away, the next day the escapee would be back at Number 4 Privet Drive without any memory of escaping his prison with the Dursleys and none of the people he had made aware of his horrendous living situation able to remember either.

You may wonder how Harry knew he had run away if he didn't have a memory of the event. The young child had taken to writing a journal where he wrote down everything of importance that happened to him. The journal would tell the Potter male that he had run away but that he never got far. This lack of progress in escaping his torturers made the green eyed youth develop an extreme distrust of authority figures or most of humanity in general.

Harry eventually learned to adapt to the situation and the reality that he was stuck at Privet Drive until he figured out what was going on with his memory and how to deal with it. It was after the more severe beatings that the messy haired preteen really started to get suspicious. Some of the injuries were pretty severe. Because the messy haired youth's birthday fell during the summer holidays Harry's Uncle Vernon felt that it was ok to go all out on his nephew. The suspicious event that occurred after each beating was that the dark haired boy's body healed itself overnight while he was lying in his cupboard of a bedroom.

The healing seemed to work best during the times when the injured youth slept for a night. This mysterious healing ability was complemented by the power Harry also possessed to regrow his hair overnight. The hair incident occurred when Petunia Dursley cut all of her nephew's hair really short and the empowered boy was so stressed that he wished the missing hair would grow back as he went to sleep. The next morning the hair was back to its pre-haircut length.

The last nail in the coffin so to speak was when Harry was being chased by his obese cousin Dudley and the cruel youngest Dursley's gang by the youth's school. The Potter heir wished really hard that he was somewhere where Dudley wouldn't find him. The next thing the pursued boy knew he was overcome with a squeezing sensation and he appeared on his school roof.

Harry documented all of these unusual occurrences in his journal. These events and others led the intelligent youth to one conclusion. Harry Potter possessed powers or abilities that the people around him didn't have. Another conclusion the green eyed preteen drew from these events was that his aunt and uncle knew something about the abilities. The elder Dursleys would call their nephew freak and mention his unnaturalness whenever they beat him or punished him.

Harry earnestly wanted to know what his cruel relatives knew about his mysterious abilities. To achieve his goal of obtaining this information the messy haired adolescent would need to make the hateful adults tell him what they knew. The Dursleys only seemed to understand one language and that was communication through violence and intimidation. The Potter heir knew he would need an ability that would allow him to scare the Dursleys.

Teleporting would allow the preteen to scare his relatives badly if he could develop the ability to the point where he could take another person with him. Harry could then teleport Vernon up very high before letting the cruel whale of a man fall to the ground and then teleport himself back to safety. The problem with using that technique is that it would be a one time thing. The inexperienced teleporter could get the height wrong and kill the target instead of just injuring the target.
