Harry was regrettably awoken by a loud knock on his small door, under the stairs. Unfortunately for Harry, he had not heard aunt Petuina call him the first time. He flinched as she practically broke down the door in obvious rage.

"Get up ungrateful boy!" She boomed, slapping him unmercifully.

His emerald eyes tinged with hot tears, clearly noticeable as his horrid aunt forced a triumphant smirk on her ugly face. Harry stood up, well crouched to be exact, and clambered his way put of the small space he had called a room for a year. He was lucky enough to get this, he used to live in the attic. That gloomy place will forever be in Harry's already ruined mind. It was filled with dead rats, broken walls and many unpleasant things.

Harry walked through the hallway, his faced filled with curiosity as he noticed another presence in the nicely decorated kitchen. An old looking man, wearing robes was in their kitchen. He looked at his face before averting his gaze to the floor. He wasn't allowed to look at people, aunt Petuina said it was rude for a 'dog' to stare at the humans. The wise-looking man seem to have noticed this but decided to leave it be, he had other matters to attend to. Checking if this was in fact, Lily and James' son. Albus had his doubts, this boy was too skinny and looked under-fed with his tiny pale body.

"And who is this?" He asked, an odd, distasteful gleam in his ocean blue eyes,

"Just the little rat, is he bothering you? I'm very sorry." Harry's aunt turned to glare at the 10 year old, her fist turned white as they were ready to knock some sense into the poor kid.

"No not at all. I just wondered what his name was." Dumbledore replied, he looked at Harry mischievously as he noticed that Petuina was already over at Harry's side, screaming abuse at him, often slapping his face. By the look in Harry's eyes, this was one of their nicer punishments. 'At least they didn't lock me in the garden again...' he thought, thankful that is was July.

Dumbledore could perform memory charms very well and so he had heard what Harry thought. His smile widened as his eyes lit up at the thought. 'He won't be here for much longer.' He thought, 'He'll be going to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry after all, there I will be sure to break this child further, if that's possible'

As I said before, sorry if it's too short or has spelling errors, I have home work and things to do after all. Well, I suppose this is the end of chapter two; Reality.
Bye!
Just to note, there will be changes as I'm very indecisive, so beware of that
:3 Thanks! I also only just decided that Dumbledore will be evil so...😂 oh and I swear. A lot. So be warned :3
