It was a simple horror movie, something Vernon enjoys watching and making him watch in hopes of scaring him. It doesn't but he knew Vernon would not allow him to watch if he didn't pretend to shriek in fear and subsequently get yelled at.

This time however he made no sound but a sharp intake of breath as the man on screen devoured his victim. His eyes became flinty as he imagined himself being the one who eats, the one who always gets his fill. He shuddered at the thought of how the warm flesh would feel sliding down his throat, of how the blood would taste absolutely exquisite compared to the drab food his relatives would give him. His jaw itched as he felt his teeth lengthen strangely and he snapped out of his thoughts before he got the urge to bite his uncle.

He knew the fact that happened wasn't normal especially the fact his teeth changed color whenever that happened as far as he knew peoples teeth don't change color when they eat. There was also this strange liquid that pooled in his mouth that tingled.

His attention was directed back to the TV as the person he could relate to, he didn't particularly like the fact that the characters he liked were always caught in the end due to a sloppy mistake he personally thought he would never make. Then again he knew that they did not have this power he could feel within himself. Sometimes he used it to make the cleaning his aunt forced him to do quicker. He moved automatically back to his cupboard the moment the movie ended feigning fright. He stopped being scared of the Dursleys after the third time Vernon forced him to watch horror movies and his threats went nowhere. Now he just avoided them the best he could, waiting to eventually escape them.

His stomach growled reminding him of his constant hunger and as much as he wished to take a bite out of the Dursleys they were much too big for him. Oh how he wished for prey but he knew the Dursleys wouldn't let him out long enough to eat besides he doesn't particularly want to get caught. Maybe when the Dursleys have to let him go to school he might be able to sequester away a meal as well as someplace to hide.

There was no point in dwelling so he curled up in his cot and hissed himself quietly to sleep.

AN: As I'm sure you've noticed is that this Harry has no qualms about thinking that people are prey. This is a mix of the fact he doesn't know any better and fact his magic is changing him according to his wishes. He wants to be able to eat and the fact that the movies introduce him to people that eat other people and he concludes that they are powerful enough to defeat another of their kind and he wants to be powerful enough to escape or even eat the Dursleys. Thus he wishes to be able to crush bones between his teeth and tear into flesh easily. The fact he can also speak parseltongue and therefore have parselmagic means his magic is giving him snake like characteristics such as venom as well as his teeth lengthening and turning into fangs, the change in color is merely his magic reacting. These changes also make Harry seem inhuman but he is still human just different and a little like Voldemort. Ok a lot like Voldemort you'll see what I mean later.
