Chapter 1: A New Beginning
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
One day in late November, Hagrid stopped by the Dursleys house. With him he had a letter….
In case we have not met, I am Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Order of Merlin First Class, and Grand Sorcerer…Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederation of wizards. We regret to inform you that an evil wizard by the name of Lord Voldomort has killed your sister Lily and her husband James Potter. Being as you are the only living relatives left we entrust you to take care of the Twin, Harry and Alexandria Potter, We request that you provide food, shelter, clothing, and schooling until they both turn 11 and then we will send you a letter inviting the twins to attend Hogwarts.
Cordially yours,
Albus Dumbledore
The Dursleys had to think about whether they wanted to take the twins or not. Petunia then pulled aside Vernon over to her and said" This may actually be a good idea Dudley will be able to have someone to play with now and then." But both of the twins?," asked Uncle Vernon "Where are we going to get the money to take care of them or even the room to put them?" Let's see we will have room to put them I don't want to have them being sent to a school of magic like your freak sister, Lily and that stupid husband of hers, that James Potter.

Harry and Alexandria woke to spiders scuttling over their toes. Harry struggled to reach up and find the pull switch to turn on the light. He finally found it but not before Aunt Petunia banged rapidly on the door with her knuckles. Dudley bounced up and down on the top of the stairs. It was so loud that if a baby was asleep he would wake up crying.
"Come quick," said Aunt Petunia, "I want my little Dudley to have a perfect day!" "Take this trash out now," said Uncle Vernon. "Alexandria come over here I would like you to finish cooking the bacon! And don't let it burn or else!" Aunt Petunia shouted. "Yes Aunt Petunia" Alexandria said sarcastically.
Petunia clutched Alexandria and Harry by the arms and proceeded to drag them down Privet Drive and to one of their neighbor, Mrs. Figgs house Mrs. Figgs opened the door quickly, annoyed of the consistent ringing of the doorbell. Seeing the twins she quickly said, "I'm not going to baby-sit both of those brats. They are too much trouble together!" Don't you remember why my leg is broken?
"Which one do you want to take?" Asked Aunt Petunia. "I'll take that girl over there, because she can AND WILL scrub my floor for me and actually make herself useful in the world." "OK! Get in there Alexandria if you do anything wrong you will regret it. You will be punished for it and I'm not kidding BEHAVE!! Anytime we take you any where you end up hurting the person or destroying their house."
Ms. Figgs slammed the door in Petunia's face and then she opened it really quick "What time are you coming to pick this little brat up?" The inside of her house a dim gray color and was covered with dust. No one could even walk into a room with out black stuff clinging to them. Alexandria always felt a little odd when she walked into crazy old Figgs house. Petunia responded, "6:00, or never," she said with an invisible smirk. The door shut and Mrs. Figgs walked back into the house scowling.
Alexandria heard the hurried screeching of the car pulling out of the driveway with Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, Dudley and Harry as the only occupants of the wretched vehicle. As she thought to herself about how she was always be left out of everything with her adopted family. "Come here," said Mrs. Figgs. "I want you to grab that bucket from the top shelf and fill it with water and take a sponge out of that cabinet above the fridge." "But there are a thousand different buckets to choose from on lower shelves," said Alexandria as she complained
As she grabbed the bucket several other pans came crashing down, hitting her on the top of her head. "OUCH!" shouted Alexandria. She reached up with her hand and felt the swelling lump. "Mrs. Figgs why is it that I come to your house that I am always cleaning or scrubbing your floors. "You have to because of the little brat you are and always will be." Mrs. Figgs retorted. "What have I ever done to you in any way shape or form to deserve this?" Alexandria mumbled quietly to herself.
"Mom! He's doing it again! He said the word we're not supposed to say." "You better not be doing that again Harry. You will end up walking all the way back home if you don't stop." "Stop what?" Harry responded. After he had a slight briefing he shouted out, "Why don't you ever believe me?"
The brown station pulled up at the new zoo. Dudley pushed open the door really quickly but it was hard enough that it almost dented the door of the car by banging into the willow that Uncle Vernon had parked next too.
Quick, come over here, said Dudley. Harry ran over and nearly tripped on his own feet to see what his annoying cousin wanted him to see. "This stupid snake won't even move!" "Don't tap on the glass Dudley you might regret doing that!" All of the sudden, the glass was missing and Dudley was wedged between the tight screen and glass walls with the snake. Dudley screamed and yelled for his parents until they finally turned around to find that he had been sealed inside the glass. Uncle Vernon pulled Harry by the shirt collar and dragged him over to the side, "What did you do? I don't want no more funny stuff now boy." Shouted Uncle Vernon
He dragged Harry to the car while Dudley and Aunt Petunia had to run to keep up with him. There was not even one inch. When Harry knocked on the door to go and get her he discovered that she was covered with black soot all over.
Two other bones had been broken. "That Girl! Is never allowed to come near my house again. Let me show you what she has done to my house?" "I demand right now that you change those back to the way they were before. Now!!
Alexandria and Harry ran back to the car and Ms. Figgs came out hobbling around she looked even worse than before Alexandria had done anything to her. Her hair was like a bright orange poster board and 2 more of her bones had been broken in her body that apparently had not been broken when Alexandria had gotten to her house.
That Girl! Is never allowed to step even a foot onto my pathway or else!! Petunia come inside really quick I want to show you what she has done to my house. Petunia walked through the door and to her surprise the house was almost as spotless as the nose on her face. It looks like she did a good thing not a bad. Then in the corner of the room she noticed 4 couches that had been dyed green and yellow. I demand right now that you change those back to the way they were before, you young lady NOW!
"I cannot take the two of you anywhere. It always backfires on me. When you get home I want both to get all of your stuff and bring it to the basement. I have been meaning to make a change in your living arrangements for the last 2 months." Uncle Vernon scolded. "The basement why the basement?" asked Harry. "Have we ever done anything to deserve this kind of mistreatment?" Alexandria complained.
"Come out now with all of your stuff," and then he just opened the door to the dinky little broom closet in which Alexandria and Harry came out clutching all their belongings in their hands and then Uncle Vernon grabbed their mattresses and threw them down the stairs into the basement on the floor. They landed with a "thug." "If I can get the heat to work down there it will be livable," stated Uncle Vernon. "If not you can live without." he said as he slammed the door behind him and then opened it again and said, "Dinner 5 minutes if you are not up her by then you won't get dinner at all okay?
"Dang, how did" we get ourselves worked into this grossed spider trap of a basement? Asked Alexandria
The Basement was small and had no light. It was 3 days later when uncle Vernon said that when he got time he would put light down there for them but just never go around to doing it. So they grabbed 2 mats from the side and two thread bare blankets; in which Alexandria and Harry were to sleep on during the night.
When they came back upstairs from the Basemen Alexandria said "Man it's cold down there. I wish we could have some heat.
Uncle Vernon wanted no more than to be rid of both brats so he took a sharp knife and he escorted the two twins down to the cold damp basement. He left the knife there and locked the twins in. He looked round and round the house for a place to dispose of the key and he found one the trash can outside in just a few moments the garbage truck would come round and get rid of his troubles forever, the brats would have to eat each other to stay alive.
