Harry gets kicked out my the Dursley's at around eight years old, years before he finds out about magic and Hogwarts. Alone on the streets, Harry has to figure out how to survive and cope with powers that he can't control. Along the way, he might just discover the family he has always wanted.

Harry was tired. So very, very tired. Tired of being controlled and pushed around. Tired of people's expectations and fickleness. So, when it came time to make a decision, when he reached the crossroads between life and death, he hesitated only a moment, before stepping onto the train. He was finally free.
