Blood friends and the Sorcerer's Stone
Vanishing glass and Ice Cream Explosions
Harry's POV
"Get up now," screamed a voice from just outside our door. I sit up and look up at my sister her red hair curling perfectly even when she was sleeping and her soft child like features looking so unbothered in her sleep. Her name was Nina Lily Potter and she was the light of my life and the only thing that kept me going on my darker days. She was very short for her age and looked so sweet sleeping, unlike me she didn't have nightmares and I was determined to keep it that way. I would do anything for her no matter what happened to me. I lean over the almost nonexistent space between us and shake her awake. She opened her eyes and smiles at me before she can speak though aunt petunia knocks on the door again.
"Get up now or else," she screams through the door.
"Ok," we said together, "we're coming."
I try to stand up and my head hits the ceiling of small cupboard under the stairs where Nina and I both sleep. We both get up more carefully and go to the kitchen. Presents cover the kitchen and I remember that it's Dudley's birthday today. Dudley was a tall skinny boy and was unlike his parents he was actually liked Nina and I. "Work now," snapped uncle Vernon a large man with hardly any neck and a large brown mustache. Aunt Petunia walked in the room, she was a blonde woman with a hose face and twice as much normal neck, which was good because she spent most of her time leaning out the window and spying on the neighbors.
I go over and get to work cooking the bacon while Nina goes to the living room to get her hair done. Dudley comes into the kitchen and sits down just as I sit the bacon on the table.
"Happy birthday," I say smiling slightly at him.
Nina re enters the room her hair now pulled up and hidden in a hat, "to hide that awful red color," Aunt Petunia says.
She goes to answer the phone and we watch as Dudley unwraps 3 new computer games, a racing bike, and a remote controlled helicopter.
Aunt Petunia enters the room and says, "bad news Vernon Ms. Figg broke her leg she can't take it."
Harry rolled his eyes the Dursely's often talked about Harry like he was something undesirable that was lower than them.
"What about that friend of yours Arana," uncle Vernon.
"On vacation in Romania," aunt Petunia replies.
"Can't Marge," started aunt Petunia starts but Vernom interrupts.
"No she hates the thing."
"You could leave me here," I suggest with almost no hope maybe I could watch what I wanted on TV and play on Dudley's computer.
"And come back to find the house in ruins," uncle Vernom barks.
"I won't destroy the house," I say but the Dursleys aren't listening. The problem was that strange things happened around me that I couldn't explain. Like one time when I was running from bullies I had tried to jump over a trash can I found myself on the roof of the school. I tried to explain but I had no explanation in the end I just guessed that the wind had caught me mid air.
And another time harry had turned his teachers wig blue and had yelled and uncle Vernom though the holes in the cupboard door that he had no idea how it had happened.
Nina to had strange things happening to her liked once when Aunt Petunia had shaved Nina bald and the next morning it had grown back.
I listen again and hear them debating whether or not I'm going and just going to sit in the car.
When there's a knock on the door.
30 minutes later I find smiling in the car on my way to the zoo f or the first time in my life. Next to me was Nina's forced boyfriend Piers Polkins and then the then Dudley. Nina hated, well disliked Piers because Nina didn't hate anyone. Piers had been over to the house once and saw Nina de weeding the garden and fallen immediately in love with her. Of course Uncle Vernom found out and made Nina go out with him. It made me mad to Piers and his friends staring at her so inappropriately but she told me it was nothing and I trusted her. At the moment Uncle Vernom was talking about something on the list of things he hated some of his favorite subjects. Were the governments Harry the news harry his job and harry.
Today's subject was motorcycles "Zooming down the streets creating such ruckuses,"
Nina interrupted suddenly, "I had a dream about a motorcycle, and it was flying."
Uncle Vernom almost crashed the car, "MOTORCYCLES DON'T FLY," he roared.
"I know," Nina said sheepishly as Piers snickered. When we get to the zoo and see the chimps which I think look like Piers only not blonde. When I whisper this to Nina she tells me to stop making fun of the chimps. We get Ice cream Dudley and Piers Sundaes and since the lady in the cat had asked Nina and Harry what they wanted before Uncle Vernom could drag them away they both cheap lemon pops.
We were sitting eating ice cream and Nina had stood up to throw away her ice cream when BOOM. Piers and Uncle Venom were covered from head and toe in ice cream which seemed to have exploded from the cart next them. The really strange thing was that I, Dudley, and aunt Petunia had a small circle on the ground completely clean not even a drop of Ice cream. Uncle Vernom and Piers went to clean up while Aunt Petunia made sure Dudley was okay. When Uncle Vernom came back he said they should leave but Piers and Dudley convinced him to go to the reptile house.
The reptile house is cool and nice after the hot summer day. Almost immediately Piers found the biggest snake in the whole place. The boa constrictor could have wrapped itself around Uncle Vernon's new car and crush it. Though at the moment it seemed to be enjoying its nap. Piers tapped the glass saying, "wae up you stupid thing."
Uncle Vernon knocked on the glass but the snake didn't move. They walk away Piers dragging Nina by her wrist. I snare angerly and a voice says, "you protect her as if her life means more than yoursssssssssssss."
I turn to see the snake has opened it's eyes and is looking right at me. "did you just talk," I ask sounding shocked.
"Who else could it have been," the snake asked.
"Sorry," I apologize, "you're the first snake I've ever talked to."
"It'sssssssssssssssss fine isssssssssssssss she your ssssssssssssssssssister," the snake hissed.
"My sister I protect her with my life," I say.
"How sssssssssssssweet," the snake said.
"Oh," I interrupt, "sorry about my uncle and Piers."
"I'm used to it by now," he said.
"Where are you from," I ask.
"I was born incaptivity but I long to go to brazil," he hissed.
Before I can say anything Piers shoves my to the ground screaming, "look at what this snake is doing."
I'm not mad that he pushed me to the ground at that moment I was mad that he had shoved Nina and burning with rage I watch the glass vanish and Piers lunged back. The snake nipped playfully at his heels then slithering towards the door hissed, "thankssssssss amigo."
"No problem," I replie smiling slightly.
Then as the snake leaves I see uncle Vernon his face purple with rage and gulp.
SMACK. I colaspe next to Nina on the ground a bruise forming where uncle Vernon had hit me.
"Cuboard now," he hissed and me and Nina run straight for the cupboard and clamber in. After a few minutes of silence Nina whispers quietly, "Harry what happened
