So, I guess there are stupider ways to die. All I wanted was a chocolate candy bar. What a way to go, death for want of chocolate. All I remember was walking across the street, then nothing.
Looking around me now all I see is a misty fog. This is not what I was expecting after dying. I was just starting to panic when I was hit with a brilliant white light.
"Up! Get up! Now!"
I shot up, banging my head on the shelf above my head. Damn that hurt.
"What the hell" looking around me. I appeared to be in some small room, not only that but I was also smaller than I was before.
"Are you up yet?" A woman's voice demanded.
"Yes." I replied
"Well, get a move on, I want you to look after the bacon, and don't you dare let it burn. I want everything perfect on Duddy's birthday."
Duddy? Duddy, what kind of name was that. Better yet why was she talking with a British accent? Wait a minute, with a groan I held my head as what looked to be flashes of a boy's life ran through my head. Just as I was about to throw up it ended, that was when it hit me.
"Oh my God, I'm Harry Potter." Now in my old life the one thing that I loved more than anything was reading. Harry Potter was one of my all-time favorites, but that didn't mean I wanted to be him.
I got dressed in the tiny ass cupboard. That was one of the things I would be changing as soon as possible. The living conditions that they made Harry live under. I was not going to put up with it for very long. I went into the bathroom and got the second biggest shock; Harry Potter was a girl. How the hell did that happen was it because I was female in my old life or was he always a she?
I went into the kitchen, to see what appeared to be a whale sitting at a dining table reading a newspaper. Boy the books did not do Vernon Dursley justice he was way bigger in real life. That was when the baby whale arrived, it took all I had to stop myself from berating the hag and the whale for all the damage they had done not only to Harry but to their own son.
As I finished cooking the greasiest food I have every had the misfortune to see, Dudley had finished his little tantrum about his presents. This was when I decided I could start weaning my way out from under the grasp of the family from hell. I knew there should be a phone call coming that would having me going to the zoo, but if I played my cards right I could get out of it.
When the phone rang Petunia went to answer it. "Bad news Mrs. Figg can't watch him." Petunia said, coming back into the kitchen.
I looked up "I could go to the library."
They looked like they wanted to argue, just because it would be something I wanted. On the other hand, I would be out of their hair for the day.
So, it was decided instead of the unfortunate trip to the zoo, I would be dropped off at the library instead. This was a stroke of luck now I could plan for the next coming years.
Good thing I have an eidetic memory, it made coming up with a task list so much easier. I knew what I would be facing in the coming years, and hopefully I could change a few things.
Things to do: Get Sirius out of jail!
Do an inheritance test at Gringotts
Get rid of the Horcrux in my head
Get an untraceable wand made.
Hide my Hogwarts letter.
Make sure none of the Professors show up to show me around Diagon Alley
I got up and went to see about transportation to London, the librarian was only too happy to help me find the information. Then I left the library and headed back to the Dursley's which was around the block from the library. Using the key under the rock in the front yard. I mean really that is just so 90's I let myself back in and went into the kitchen to the tin that held the grocery money not like they counted it. Good thing I got Harry's memories. I just took enough to get me to London.
After that I went out to the little park that was down the road from #4 and sat down on the swing. I just needed to keep away from the Dursleys long enough for them to expect me to leave them in peace every day. I would be using this time to see if I could earn some more money around the neighborhood.
