Now Let's Begin!
Harriet Lilyann Potter was unusual in many ways. Firstly she lived with her Aunt Perunia, Uncle Vernon, and cousin Dudley, not with her parents. Secondly Harriet was known as a delinquent in her neighborhood which was strange consideringshe was quite small for her age of fifteen. Thirdly and most importantly Harry was a witch, this fact is actually the cause of the other facts.
When she was a year old Harry and her parents were attacked by the worst wizard in the history of magic, this man, Voldemort, killed Harry's parents but was mysteriously defeated by Harry. This attack and defeat gave Harry two things, her fame to all magics and her famous lightning bolt scar on her forehead.
After the attack Harry was sent to live with her Aunt and Uncle on number 4 Pivet Drive in the town of Surrey, England where She would spend her (not happy) childhood until the age of 11 when the giant Hagrid came and told her of her magic. This in turn lead Harriet to Hogwarts where she now learns magic.
Now our story begins on July 31, 1995.
Harry woke up in pain. This was sadly a familiar way for the now fifteen year old to wake up, whether it be from - periods, nightmares, beatings, or accidents, there was a good chance that Harry would wake up in pain. Today's pain is from a beating by her Uncle Vernon, he decided that a whipping from his belt would be a good punishment for her after she let the bacon slightly burn when cooking breakfast the day before, even though he had asked her to go get the mail while she was cooking not after causing his o so precious meat to become slightly burned.
Harry's back was throbbing and it had taken her a moment to remember why. Groaning she slowly sat up, she had to check the sheets for any stains because if Aunt Petunia found a single speck of blood then she would double her already long list of chores. She luckily found none and sent a quick thank you to whoever was watching. She quickly gathered her stuff for a shower and opened the door. After a check that told her no one else was up she rushed for the bathroom and locked the door. She remembered what happerned that last time she didn't, it had involved a very embarrassed Harry and a very pervy Piers, who to this day Harry avoided like the plague.
As she waited for the shower to warm up, she decided to take a moment to look at herself in the mirror. Her emerald eyes stared back at her, dull and weary they looked older than they should be. Her black hair was messy as ever, it lacked the shiny sheen that every other girl her age had. She scowled looking over her form, because of the Dursleys she had never filled out as much as she should have and was now smaller than she should be at her age. Sighing Harry shook her head and got in the shower.
Her mind wandered in the shower as she thought about the last four years of her life and what crazy years they were. She smiled thinking of her amazing best friends. Ron who was there for her always, her first human friend who showed her what a happy family looks like, and Hermione - smart and reliable her first female human friend. Just the thought of them made her grin.
But her grin faded as she remembered last June a her eyes quickly filled with tears remembering
Kill the spare
Kill the spare
A flash of green light so like her eyes, and the thud of a body and a scream.
She gave herself a small smack on the cheek and decided to get out and go make breakfast.
She walked back to her room quietly, keeping an eye out for her family but heard nothing. After closing the door she looked around her tiny prison of a room and scowled, it was nothing like Ron's room that was filled with things that scream Ron, rather all her room screamed was Dudley is a spoiled bastard. Snorting she shook her head and went to give Hedwig a rub in between her cage bars.
Putting on some of her less disgusting clothes she went downstairs. Looking inside the cabinet and fridge she decided to make pancakes, eggs and bacon. In the middle of her cooking she heard the thud of Uncle Vernon's feet as they came downstairs.
"Girl where is my breakfast." were the first words she heard today and internally she sighed but on the outside she replied with a tired " I'm almost done with it Uncle."
He stared at her and nodded going to sit at the table.
By the time 15 minutes had gone by the rest of her family was sitting at the table. Aunt Petunia was sitting primly like she was kind of princess and her horse-like
face was contorted into a loving look at her soulmate and child, but every time she glanced at her, Harry could feel the disdain.
After placing the food on the table and serving it she accidentally looked at her cousin nearly gagged. Dudley was inhaling his food like he would never eat again yet his body which drooped over his chair said the exact opposite. Harry still couldn't believe that her cousin was now boxing, it only made him more dangerous to all the kids in the neighbourhood. She also couldn't believe that her cousin also had a soulmate some poor girl named Hannah Apple, Harry prayed for the girl.
Harry stood back as the family at and only when they were done did she speak. "Aunt PetuniaHarry stood back as the family at and only when they were done did she speak. "Aunt Petunia Uncle Vernon I need to go buy some more groceries we're almost out of breakfast foods." She had to speak now while Dudley was at the table or else they might not let her go.
"Mum, Dad make her go I want my food I don't wanna starve." There was Dudley on que, ready to play his part perfectly and if all went well then Harry wouldn't have to do as many chores on her birthday - a good present for herself. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia studied her then looked at each other and nodded and Uncle Vernon begrudgingly put money in her hand.
Harry made sure to keep her poker face, not giving anyone a glimpse of the happiness swelling inside her. "Freak, I want all of my change back." Of course Uncle Vernon couldn't just let her go and at the sound of his voice Harry felt her back throb. "Yes Uncle, I promise." She forced herself to keep a sweet facade right until she got out of the neighbourhood.
After cleaning the dishes she was about to head out when she caught a glimpse of the T.V. the news was on and the lady was talking about the Avengers more specifically Captian America.
"In new information we have got on the first avenger it is confirmed that Captain America and the Winter Soldier, James 'Bucky' Barnes have another soulmate making them one of the rare trios, we have not been told their name only that they just recently got the mark making their soulmate only 15 years old."
The Avengers were the superheroes that lived in New York in the States, Harry didn't know much about them only snippets that she overheard on the T.V. and from the kids in the neighbourhood. They seemed amazing, true role models for youth. Even if Tony Stark was a tad egotistical. But she still felt pity, they were always being talked about and followed like she was in the Magical World. Harry definitely pitied Captian America's new soulmate to suddenly be in the spotlight of the entire world must be hard at least Harry wasn't at all famous in the Muggle World.
While looking at the pictures of Captian America and The Winter Soldier on the screen Harry felt her back burn and a cold feeling came over her. And lastly her magic hummed and whispered one word in her mind
Soulmates.
