Delphine Dursley was a perfectly normal child. She was very pretty considering who her parents were; she had gotten a perfect mix of her mother's long-necked, skinny-as-a-rail paleness, and her father's over-large dark features. She was only 11, but everyone who looked at her could tell that she would grow up to be beautiful. She wasn't dumb, like her older brother (though she hated saying bad things about her family), But she didn't do too spectacularly at school, when asked why this was, she would always state, "School is so boring, if I had something more exciting to learn, I'd learn it!" She was popular, though she didn't have the vaguest idea why, but none of her friends ever... what's the word... 'clicked'. She was often found sitting outside, dreaming up stories to write, wishing her life was like the lives of her characters.
'Oh well,' she thought one day after finishing another one of her stories, 'I guess my life will always be this normal...' She sighed, closed her journal, and ran inside for a late Saturday breakfast.
"Hello dear, could you stand and fry the bacon, I need to wake up Dudeykins" said Petunia, Delphine's Mum.
Delphine held in a snort of laughter that her mum still called her brother by that nickname, "Sure, Mum I'll start the eggs too." Petunia walked upstairs to Dudley's room. She thought it was awfully funny her brother, who was 26, still lived with his parents... It was a bit annoying to have that fat slob around th.... Wait... no bad thoughts about family, right.
'Hard not to think that way, I'm like the only good apple in the barrel, Mum, Dad, 'Dudeykins'...' She snorted out loud this time, ' ...and Aunt Marge of course... Ugh, I hope she waits till I'm at Miss. Jasmines school for girls before she comes around again.' Aunt Marge never liked Delphine very much; she'd always hear her start to say, "Just like that other one..." Then mum would cough and loudly start talking about the neighbor's house, which was 'always in a state of disrepair'.
The other one... what other one? She sort of remembered a boy with black hair and glasses, but whenever she asked about him she'd get an earful...
"'lo, Eggs done?" Asked Dudley.
"NO, their not! And stop talking to as if I were a maid, Mum wouldn't be happy if I said my favorite older-brother was being mean to me."
"Just asking!" he retorted, taking a handful of bacon and burning his hand.
"'lo, Eggs done?" Asked Dad. Ugh... Dudley was so much turning into Dad...
"Yes Daddy! Here you go!" Delphine said, sliding eggs onto Mum, Dad's, and hers plates, and sitting down to eat. Dudley shot quite a look out at that one... heh heh...
"Dudley, go get the mail" Vernon grunted. Delphine thought it was awfully strange that Dudley had to get the mail; Dudley didn't have to do anything... Maybe Dad just wanted to say that Dudley did do something around the house... but Dudley got up quickly and got it.
"Here... 3 for Mum, 5 for you, Dad, 4 are bills though... one for me, and a couple for 'Miss. I-won't-ever-go-get-the-mail'" Dudley chuckled heartily at his Joke, which was apparently hilarious.
Hm... A list of Supplies for Ms. Jasmine's... A letter from Melissa in Majorca... What's this???
"Hey Mum? Did you apply me to two schools?" Delphine asked.
"No Dear, why is that?" she asked... not really interested... The window had a good view of across the street, and they seemed to have brought home a new car...
"Then what's Hogwarts?"
She had never before seen such a reaction out of her family. Petunia jumped and screamed until she turned blue, while Dudley just fell out of his chair with a pound, fainted dead away... her Dad sent her to her room, since when was getting a letter against the law?
She could still hear yelling and crashes and Dudley being dragged to the couch when She finally fell asleep.
Hogwarts must be a terrible place...to get Dudley to faint...
"Hello, Mum, Dad, How are you this morning?" Delphine said quietly after creeping down the stairs. They were all ashen faced, looking at her...
After fifteen minutes of perfect silence, I spoke up... "What is Hog..?
"DON'T SAY THAT WORD IN MY HOUSE!!" Vernon screamed.
"Alright...."
Fifteen minutes afterwards, Vernon got up, prolly to get the mail... and Petunia followed shortly afterwards.
"Your in trouble now, you're... abnormal... Mum will prolly send you off to an insane asylum." He said with a smirk.
"I didn't do anything! I just want to know what the fuss..." She stopped when she heard another scream...
"GET OUT... get OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU..." Her father started.
"You can't deny this! I'm taking her to Hogwarts where she belongs!" Another voice yelled back"
"My Daughter is not one of you! She can't be!" Delphine's Mum yelled.
"You know perfectly well that she can be! YOU. ARE. A. WITCH. Aunt Petunia! And so is Delphine! Now I am going to go get her packed and take her to get her school things!" A witch??? OK, that's odd...
Delphine practically fainted when she heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen door; Dudley seemed to have already run away... Should She? No... Whoever was behind there was going to tell her what Hogwarts was... and she had a feeling that he would have shocking things to say.
The door opened and she was shocked to see a Young man in what looked like a long green dress... With black hair and Glasses.
'Maybe' she thought, 'I'm not normal after all....'
And she grinned.
