"She coldly smiled into my eyes, but oh would they never know. The rope enclosing my throat gets heavier every day, may she have mercy on me oh Lord Satan. Her astonishing beauty blinded many others including myself, those golden locks just keep fooling me huh? Countless fools including myself have been punished for our sins, yet you punish me for caring about you.
Sometimes I can still hear your screams, crying out for mercy as you drown in that Cold Dark River.."

It's been 17,520 hours since the last time Harry saw a dreadful Privet Drive sign, 8,760 hours since that first time Harry found out he was magical and has been practising ever since.

"On Merlin, this world is corrupt with nonsense, and not even the favourable ones just like in Alice in Wonderland."

He sneered at the sign that read "Privet Drive" with disgust as he passed by, Harry had been running away from town to town ever since he ran away. It was quite annoying, but soon met a darling snake who has been guiding him around since day one. A graceful elegant white snake with blood-red eyes, which he named Astrid, after Goddess Aphrodite.

Astrid explained to Harry that he was one of the most famous wizards in Britain and the Wizarding World, how his parents died for him and were Wixens, and how the Dark Lord scarred him right onto his forehead.
Harry never exactly "hated" his scar, but there were times it would end up attracting others' attention, and the spotlight was the last thing he needed during his current state. And, the wretched thing just got wider by the year.

Sometimes Harry wished the world would simply disappear, or if only he could be a normal wizarding boy, but the world had other plans for him. But hey, without family to tell him what to do, he could simply do whatever the hell he wanted. Like dying his hair, illegal tattoo shops, and piercings. Speaking of that, he was able to dye his hair the same bright red his mother once had, but only at the bottom end. Harry did after all still respect his father.

Money was no biggie, most robbed by muggles with a bit of wandless magic (before he accessed his Gringotts vault). And in academic terms, all he did was buy some books from Knockturn alley and simply practice with the illegal wand he secretly bought. But one thing for sure is that without Astrid's help, Harry would probably be dead.

After ages, Harry finally arrived in London. The weather was partly cloudy but nothing too sunny yet cold. If you asked Harry, he would argue that the best weather was anything but a chilly winter. A lovely warmed room filled to the brim with books was enough to make the teen jump with joy. 

The locals of London could be seen rushing without a single thought about their surroundings, probably all too busy with work and school to bother, whether tourists would awe at almost anything their eye could glimpse at. Harry just ignored the London usual and took off to The Leaky Cauldron, but not before grabbing his black robes and hiding the quite visible scar with a quick wandless spell.

"§Have we arrived masterr~?§" Harry peeked into his bag to find that Astrid has woken up from her slumber."§Yesss my darling, and do not worry, I shall reward you later for your patience~§" he whispered back at the snake in a loving manner, one that was only visible to people he trusted, Astrid and himself.

She quickly shook her head in approval before slithering her way from Harry's sleeves to the neck, encircling herself like a necklace around Harry's neck, but staying close to his ear in case she needed to inform the wizard.

Harry casually walked into The Leaky Cauldron without any doubt to blow off suspicious people, some looked up to glance at him before going back to whatever they were doing. Harry walked to the back to meet the brick wall, tapping the specific bricks before being met with the bright colours that radiated from Diagon Alley.

Alas, he was home.
