Hey everyone I finally got around to posting the first story in my series and once again I must apologise for the order, but now I have the first two and the fith. Don't worry I will fill in the gaps. PLEASE REVIEW and ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but I do own Stephanie Partridge.
My name is Stephanie Partridge, but please call me Steph, I live at 2 Richard Street Surrey with my Mum and Father. A new year has started and in a few days I would be back at school and I hate it. Its true school wouldn't be that bad if I didn't have that stupid boy Dudley and his goons following me all the time. Dudley Dursley, overweight, spoiled brat! He comes up to me and talks to me, he brags about how good he is and the nice new present that he just got because he scored a competent on a test, then he makes eyes at me and asks me to hang out with him at Recess or Lunch. I always say I'm too busy and usually I am, after all it's not easy trying to keep up with homework as well as staying on the teachers' good sides. All that aside and school's pretty good, besides there's a few people I was looking forward to seeing when I go back: my younger friends, the kindergarteners, my teachers, most of them, then there's this boy. He's really shy, he sits alone in the playground, at least when he's not being harassed by Dudley, occasionally he notices me and he tries to talk to me, but of course Dudley stops him and pushes him away. So we've never actually spoken, although there are times when I feel that I know him and I wish I did. He has bright blue eyes, black hair and the nicest smile I have ever seen. Unfortunately I rarely get to see it, for he is normally sad, most commonly because of that idiot Dudley I might add. Today was rather boring and I did absolutely nothing except try on my uniform to make sure that it fit. Other than that I spent the day reading on my bed and tonight I drift peacefully off to sleep. The next few days were the same making sure everything was ready for when school started, so I was surprised when my mum asked me to come with her to work two days before school, but I wasn't going to argue. The day was great fun, my Mum might be strict but when it came to spending time with me, she was as fun as any girl my age. My mum worked at the zoo, I'd been there with her heaps of times before and because she worked there I could do all the things that the general public could only dream of doing. I got to feed the all the animals from the penguins to the bears, but most days I could be found with the big cats. I had become friends with Keera, the orphan cheetah and we played together for hours. Eventually I left her to get some rest and I went and visited the reptile house, while I may not have spent as much time there I did still visit it every once in a while and of all the times I'd been there it had to be today that Dudley was also there. I went over to the boa constrictor, he was strange somehow he normally ignored the visitors, but when I came over to see him he would sit up and take notice. Sometimes when I talked to him, he acted as though he vaguely understood me, but as soon as I saw Dudley I said goodbye and started to leave. However my attitude changed when I saw the boy from school. Why is he with Dudley? I thought they didn't like each other, but on the other hand I might finally get to talk to him! So I walked over and Unfortunately Dudley saw me first.
'Mum, Dad! Come meet my friend!' Dudley dragged his parents over to me. Seeing that I had nowhere to go and especially since his parents were there I talked to them for a brief moment then claimed I had to go meet my Mum. However Dudley and his parents didn't like that idea and blamed the other boy for it and threatened to lock him in the car until Dudley wanted to go home. Knowing Dudley that could've been all day so I gave them a piece of my mind then left, but I didn't go too far hoping I could talk to the boy and at least find out his name. I saw Dudley and his father annoy the boa constrictor, then they went to the next enclosure but the boy stayed back and he talked to the boa like I do. What really surprised me was the boa began nodding like it fully understood him! Then Dudley ran to the boa's enclosure pushing the boy the floor, it made my blood boil but I didn't say anything I wanted to see what the boy would do. The next thing I know the glass of the enclosures gone, Dudley fell in and the boa came out, not only that but he thanked the boy! He actually said thanks, when he slithered past me he gave me a curt nod and kept moving, making the other visitors scream. I tried to calm them down but they just kept screaming, when I looked back to the enclosure the glass had reappeared and Dudley was trapped inside screaming and banging on the glass. I couldn't help but giggle, he finally got what he deserved, but how did the glass come back? It was almost like...Magic.
Pretty cheesy that last sentence I know, but hey I just thought I'd add it in. Anyway I'd just like to remind you to review this story and send me any ideas you might have for later in the story. :)
