Backstory

"Why does it have to be like this?" Harry said to himself while silently sobbing in his little room under the stairs of his aunt and uncles house, "What did I ever do to them?"

Harry has always lived a sad life, when he was a baby his parents were killed by a Dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, but somehow Harry survived when the Killing curse that Lord Voldemort cast rebounds, then he was only left with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead. The only reason Harry wasn't dead is because Rubeus Hagrid had found Harry in his crib under the ruble of his destroyed house. 

Since then he has come to live with his aunt, uncle, and his cousin Dudley. It has been such hell living with them that sometimes Harry fantasizes about running away during the night and going somewhere far away from the Dursleys.
