Contrary to what one might think, considering Harry's love for learning, Harry did not like school in the least.

Probably because her cousin Dudley made it miserable. 

Because of him, the girls teased her and the boys ignored her.

Without friends, Harry spent most of her time in the library and the classroom, not bothering to go out at recess. After school, however, was a different story.

Harry attended Tae Kwon Do classes five days a week since she started going to school. 

She became quite proficient at it and enjoyed it a lot.

The only other thing that Harry kept up with was her mother's school books.

Harry had in fact come across Lily's diary in between some of the books and began reading about Lily's years at Hogwarts.

She found everything about the school fascinating and couldn't wait to get her letter.

Harry even managed to get Petunia to take her to London to find the Leaky Cauldron.

Unfortunately, the trip was a failed attempt, and Harry came home disappointed.

In contrast, Petunia seemed relieved; seeing floating objects and things fixing themselves was a bit much for her.

Seeing the entire Wizarding World would be too overwhelming.

So life for young Harry went on. She steadily made her way through the first year school books, and by the time she turned ten, started working on her mother's second year school books.

At one point, she noticed that her wand became a lot shinier and smoother, and as she used it, she noticed that casting spells became a lot easier too.

On Harry's eleventh birthday, something came that she had been waiting for since she found out that she was a witch.

When her uncle sent her to get the mail, she noticed a thick envelope with green ink on it addressed to her.

Quickly, so that her Uncle Vernon and Dudley wouldn't see it, she stuffed it under her shirt and came back into the kitchen.

As she entered, she gave Petunia a significant look and handed Vernon the remaining mail. Patiently.

Harry waited for Vernon and Dudley to finish their breakfast and go off to the Living room to watch TV.

As soon as they had walked out the room, Harry whipped out the letter and showed it to Petunia.

Although she had known this day would come, Petunia still felt slightly faint of heart when she saw the thick parchment paper that would announce what she believed to be Harry's doom.

All she had ever seen coming from the Wizarding World was death, and to send her niece into that world made her anxious. 

Not that I really care for the girl, Petunia thought, I just won't have a helper any more if she dies.

Gently Harry opened the letter and read its contents.

Harry was beside herself with pleasure. That was, until Uncle Vernon walked into the kitchen and saw the letter in Harry's hands.
