The Mage: Sin Of Greed

After the Dursley family left me alone in their home clearly unworried, thinking I was still that same docile creature, but I changed my mind set when I advanced to the age of 8.

Using the window, I looked at the car of theirs slowly fading away as it drove to the direction of the zoo where Dudley would torment animals instead of me, a relief honestly. 

I went to my room taking the backpack I had stolen from Dudley during one of his outbursts because of school, and then I advanced to the kitchen. I opened the fridge, grabbing the canned food which would help me survive in the wild after I escaped from this place.

After stuffing my backpack with some canned food, knives and some utilities which I grabbed from the shed that kept all the gardening, I removed the backpack from my shoulder keeping it beside my room (the cupboard)

Then, it was time to let the gas leak out. I turned on the valve of the gas as the gas slowly began to fill the house and since the windows were closed, it became trapped in the house waiting for an ignition to light it up.

After that, I grabbed the thin wire which I had gotten from the librarian who thought I was an innocent kid who simply wanted to do a science experiment. I wrapped the wire from one knob of my cupboard to the light switch.

So whenever, one of them enters and hits the wire with their body (thin wire that cannot be seen unless focus is present) the switch of the light will be triggered and the leaked gas would react causing the gas cylinder to blast.

Now after setting up all the things, which would lead to the destruction of the family I went out of home, looking at it one last time as I advanced to the playground. Why did I do this? 

Well, when the house explodes, I will have to return to give alibi to the police who will not suspect me since the trap is set in such a way that it seems like a common accident because of the forgetful nature of the couple after all no one knows that I cook since Dursley don’t want people to see them as evil after all they want to be perfectly normal.

So, for the time being I play with other kids, who flock over me even though currently I had a slight dirty look, but my charisma attracted them. Its fun being the center of attraction.

Then I heard it, a loud explosion in the distance as I played catch with the kids making the birds caw as they flew to the other side. I and the other kids rushed to the explosion intrigued to see what had happened even though I knew the reason.

We all came forward only to see my house burning along with some other houses that were beside the house of the Dursley family. My eyes slowly started to widen as tears started to emerge rushing through the crowd but was only stopped by the police.

One of the officers saw me and recognized me as the nephew who lived with them, so he allowed me to come by gesturing to the officer holding me to let go. The burnt bodies were being brought and so I rushed with tears kneeling beside them as the carriers set it down since we all know that they are dead.

“Uncle, Aunt, Cousin”

I say trembling tears dropping on their burnt cheeks as I sob miserably, hoping that they would come back and take care of me again, but they don't. The officer known as Jason, the one who allowed me to enter, ruffled my head as he too stared in shock.

“I understand your pain.”

I didn't answer as I continued to sob before he picked me up as the tiredness caught up to me and I fell unconscious beside them.

Third POV

As the body of the great Harry fell on the pavement successfully fooling everyone with his act of a terrified child who just saw his family members die, Jason the officer quickly picked the child with pity, since he had seen many fall unconscious due to the stress of seeing the death of their family.

But what he didn’t know was that it was simply an act which proved to be successful as he won the trust of the people present, he was a very good manipulator that even gods were shocked at this talent of his, even death.

The paramedics picked the body up again, getting them inside the ambulance but Jason the officer denied them the right to pick up the child and take him to the hospital instead he simply told them, he will take care of him.

The paramedics agreed and the officers continued their investigation, but Jason gave the boy to a woman whose name is Agatha or Professor Agatha who taught the ancient magic of runes.

“Thank you”

“You are welcome, but I do expect my payment to be sent to me.”

“Of course,”

With the little conversation both of them went their separate ways as the young professor looked at the boy and in her eyes was happiness since she got to touch the boy who lived who was like Jesus in their realm.

Alongside, even though he was young and too lean, he still possessed an otherworldly charm which attracted the interest of the people. The world of wizards was slightly primitive so even though age of consent was present, hardly anyone abided by that law alongside having many marriages at the same time which were all banned in the muggle world.

“I am so going to enjoy teaching you, young lord.”

She said with a obsessed smile and her tone was off putting especially if someone heard these words being said to a young child, but unknown to all of them Harry was a master at acting which meant in reality he simply pretended to be unconscious meaning he could hear everything which was discussed causing him to inwardly smile as he knew that he could use these things to his advantage and also it confirmed the contents of the letters.

Oh, he was going to have so much fun, fueling his primal sins along with achieving high power.
