"Twin Shadows"
Chapter 1 'Soap Suds'
"Get up, Harry! Get up!"He heard the boy exclaim excitedly. "Yeah, get up! We wanna go!" Harry rolled over to his side and realized that it was a big mistake for the twins pounced on him. "Come on, Harry. You promised." Harry opened his eyes and smiled at the two of them. They could hardly contain their excitement and were jumping up and down with glee on his bed. "Alright, I'm up! Just stop jumping, please." He still wasn't used to the idea of sleeping in a waterbed and it was making him a little sea sick.
"You two need to get dressed, have breakfast and then we'll leave for the zoo. You still want to go right?" He said teasingly to the two. "Yes!" They both exclaimed as they were running to their rooms to change. Harry followed them in and went to their dressers to pull out their clothes to wear for the day. He still couldn't believe how his summer had turned out. So far it was one of the best he has had yet. He smiled at the boy and girl before him waiting a bit impatiently to get dressed. He had grown quite close to them in just the few weeks that he had known them and had even been trusted by their parents to watch them by himself while they were out of town for a few days.
He couldn't believe how his luck had changed when he had come back to Number 4 Privet Drive just three weeks ago. The Marshalls had moved into the house across from his aunt and uncle's house. Uncle Vernon had told him on the drive home not to bother them in any way for they were a prominent family and didn't need to be bothered with a boy like him. Harry couldn't have really cared though, until the children saw him. They had immediately ran over to him and asked if he could come over to play. Uncle Vernon was furious but couldn't refuse them for their mother had accompanied them and was a bit curious also. After spending the afternoon with the twins, Harry had been asked if he could watch them durring the rest of the summer while Mr. and Mrs. Marshall worked at their law firm. Harry was estatic! Not only was he getting paid to do something that he was enjoying, but he had his own room there when they're working late.
Harry helped Jamie tie his shoes and them turned to straighten Jasmine's dress, for she had put it on backwards. Jamie snickered and pointed at his sister. "Shut up Jamie! It's not funny! You can't dress yourself either!" She yelled at her brother while sticking out her tongue at him. He in turn tripped her as she was walking into the hallway. She gets up and trys to charge him, just as Harry picks her up and throws her over his shoulder. "Oh, no you don't! No misbehaving today."
She's kicking and screaming as he carries her downstairs to the kitchen unknown to Harry, Jamie's making faces and laughing at her behind his back. "I wouldn't laugh if I was you Jamie, I'm fixing to let her go." Harry told the boy as he paled.
Harry set her down and started on breakfast. After the three were done and washed the dishes, Harry called a cab to pick them up to take them to town. As he's gathering the last minute belongings, he hears the cab blow it's horn announcing it's arrivial. He quickly grabed the money that the Marshalls had left for them and gathered the twins as he was checking to make sure that the house was securely locked up. Walking out to the cab, Jamie sees Uncle Vernon washing the car and screams, "Hi Mr. Jerksley!"
"Harry! What are you teaching them?!" Vernon spews out at Harry, turning purple from the exertion.
"Nothing Uncle Vernon. You must have heard him wrong. Sorry." Harry quickly retorted as he hurriedly steered the twins into the back of the cab and quickly told the driver to take them to the zoo. The quicker he got away from here, the better.
As they were pulling away, Jamie put his head out the window and stuck his tongue out at Mr. Dursley. Vernon was so surprised that he dropped the hose into the bucket of suds. Jamie exclaimed in glee when he saw the soap bubbles rise in the air and hit Uncle Vernon square in the face. Jasmine turned around to see what Jamie was laughing at and smiled at her twin. "You did that, didn't you?" "Yeah, it was great wasn't it?" He smiled at her and they sank down in the back seat talking quietly on what had happened. Harry, hearing what had just transpired, turned to see his uncle storming furriously into the house. He looked down at the two and smiled. Yes, this is going to be a good day.
