Violet

By Jay Orin

This is a plot bunny that I liked, so I thought that I would take it home with me. You all know the drill. I know I don't own Harry Potter. You know I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, I would have my own house and wouldn't be bugging my grand'rents. Any attempt to sue me is futile, because I have NO money whatsoever. Oh, and as a side note, I don't own Savage Garden. However, I wouldn't mind kidnapping them and doing sick twisted things to them, like having them clean my room. Mwa ha ha ha ha! Normal, me? DON'T THINK SO! GOT YER CONK! Ahem, anyways, onto the story.

If there's a way that you could
be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came too easy?
In a way, we're the same two people
looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our
fantasies- Savage Garden

It was the end of another year at Hogwarts. Harry had to go back to the family that hated him, that wished him dead on many occasions, and would probably make his life miserable for the rest of the summer. He said goodbye to his friends, and waited for his "Uncle" Vernon.

Harry found Vernon Dursley at the train station. But he looked different. His Uncle's eyes were red-rimmed, and there were bags underneath. It looked like he had pulled more tufts out of his mustache. Harry was curious, but wisely decided that whatever caused Dursley that much frustration is wisely best left alone. Besides, Harry figured that would find out soon enough, and that the reason would be huge.

Huge would end up being the understatement of the year,

When Uncle Vernon and Harry got home, Harry was greeted by wailing. It was too high pitched to be Dudley, and Aunt Petunia preferred shrieking.

"Well, boy? What are you waiting for, a ruddy invitation? Budge up!"

Harry went inside. Dudley was pulling at his hair, and Aunt Petunia was on the couch, trying her hardest to silence a wailing...BABY?

'Oh no,' thought Harry, 'not another one.'

"What do you want, boy?" Petunia snapped, angered. It's not enough that her baby girl has been crying almost non-stop ever sense she was born, but her ungrateful nephew was rude enough not to die. "Violet, Violet, calm down, calm down sweetheart."

"Muuuum, leave her in the ruddy crib, already. I'm hungry!" Dudley whined.

"All right, Diddy-Duddums, I'm coming." She left the baby in the crib and ran off to make her son a sandwich.

Harry looked at the baby that was currently bawling its head off. She wasn't too ugly, but she would probably look a whole lot better if she wouldn't cry so much. He looked around, and finding no one to punish him, he put his hand on her head.

The baby slowly ceased her crying. She looked at Harry with wide eyes. She blinked, and smiled. Her hair was dark brown and curly, and her eyes were violet, with a fleck of green in them. Her limbs were neither too chubby, nor too skinny.

'Not ugly?' Harry thought. 'She's beautiful!'

He put his face close to her. She struggled, sat up, and held his face in her tiny little hands.

"You are going to cause me problems, aren't you?" whispered Harry, lovingly. "And I am going to enjoy every minute of it, aren't I?"

The baby suddenly started to fret. She pointed her tiny chin towards the direction of the kitchen. Harry got her meaning and started to leave. But before he did, he had to ask.

"You are a witch, aren't you?"

The baby nodded, and made a shooing motion before starting up her crying again.

"I knew you going to cause me problems."

But he gave her a grin that belied his words, and left the room.

Close up: Harry Potter.

Harry: Hi, I'm Harry, Potter. You may know me from such books as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone," "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," and my newest book, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." which should be due out, well, some time in the future. And no, I am not the Half-Blood Prince. So to all my beloved fans, I have just one thing to say...

Camera pulls out to reveal that Harry is tied to a chair.

Harry: HHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jay waves to the camera.

Jay: Have a nice day.
