Harmony was mesmerized by the sight before her. It was difficult to see the tv through the small gaps in the door frame to the cupboard under the stairs she was living in, but the sight before her made her forget the uncomfortable position.
Her cousin Dudley who resembled a round ball more than the eight year old he actually was, had started to watch a new cartoon on tv…something called Chaotic. It was one of the more recent shows that was airing in America, and of course, Dudley nagged his family to let him watch it, despite the fact that it was foreign and strange which his father hated.
The sight of the show and the characters it portrayed, especially the Danians, stayed within Harmony's mind from the moment she laid eyes on them. There was something in it that drew in her attention, and she often dreamed about the world it showed, and what her life would be like if she lived there, specifically the Danians, instead of a dirty old cupboard under the stairs with people who could care less if she died that very moment.
unfortunately for Harmony, two weeks later Dudley got bored with the show and stopped watching it. For harmony it felt like he had torn out her heart and stomped it into the ground. For the first time in his young life Harmony felt pure unadulterated hatred in her heart and the desire to kill her cousin washed over her like a foul tsunami.
the moment passed quickly and Harmony's emotions shifted to depression. This was another thing her so called family took away from her.
She had lived with the Dursley family for almost eight years now and in that time, she had known only hate and scorn from them.
she was forced to do the bulk of the chores around the house, even though a small underfed and abused girl like her could hardly do half of them and even then she could only do a handful of them well, which earned her a heap of punishment and belittlement.
The most used punishment was depriving her of food, which was quite cruel considering how she got very little of it to begin with. And now she was deprived of yet one more thing she grew to like, like two months ago when she found a Barbie doll with a couple of dresses. She really couldn't do anything with it due to the fact that she didn't have any of the accessories to go with it. But just having it and the two dresses were enough for her.
When her cousin found them he thought it would be a great idea to break the doll into pieces while two of his friends held Harmony pinned to the ground.
Feeling really down, Harmony was sitting absently in class, paying the teacher only the faintest amount of attention when she heard the two boys behind her whisper to each other.
"Did you hear the second expansion of the Chaotic trading card game is coming out in a couple of weeks?" Harmony's eyes widened in shock when she heard the name of the show that had brought some joy into her miserable life."
"Yeah, I'm saving up my allowance to go buy a few packs." the other boy sighed
"Yeah but I'm going to save up and buy a booster box instead and see what kind of cards I can get. That's where you can get a lot of cards, Jerry. I'm planning on going to the card shop as soon as they get it…I hear it's called zenith of the hive and it's got a lot of Danian based cards." The first boy grinned lightly.
"Thanks Matt. I'll stop by there after school and check on the price." Jerry replied.
'There's a trading card game about Chaotic?' Harmony frowned before her eyes shined with an idea…scratch that a few ideas. She smirked and waited for school to end before putting her plan into motion."
"Hey Dudley?" Harmony asked as she walked up to her cousin. "What do you want freak?" Dudley sneered.
"Well I was wondering if you were still interested in that chaotic tv show I heard you talking about a couple of weeks ago…are you?" harmony asked in mock curiosity
"Eh…somewhat, why do you ask?" Dudley said, contrary to popular belief Dudley was smarter then he let on, he just didn't want to be made fun of so he put up a bullying façade to keep people from finding out. "well I overheard from a couple of classmates of ours that the second expansion of the trading card game was coming out in a couple of weeks."
"What's the big deal about some stupid cards?" Dudley sneered hoping Harmony wouldn't catch onto his interest yet it was not meant to be for Harmony looked straight at him, "I know you have that bullying mask you like to put to keep others from finding out that you are smarter then you appear. I also know you want to be the most popular kid at school so here's the deal I convince uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia to buy both of us a booster box and we will make decks out of them, one style for both of us. If we practice against each other we should become good enough to make it into a tournament or two and if we win we can get money to support us. And uncle Vernon and aunt petunia will be so proud of you but in return I would like you to keep them off my back. What do you say" She said as she held an out a hand.
"hmm…" Dudley thought to himself, he knew that his cousin was abused and he wanted to help but he was afraid of what would happen if he went against his father, but this might help her get better so he shook Harmony's hand and said "Deal."
Later on at number 4 privet drive.
"Uncle Vernon? I have a question and it's not about my parents." Harmony said as Vernon looked at her with interest, "Well speak girl. And make it quick I have better things to do then listen to you blabber." Vernon sneered.
"I have a deal that could make your standing in the neighborhood increase but also make you more money. That is if you are willing to listen." Harmony said
"I'm listening." Vernon said with much more interest than before.
