I only own my Oc's. I don't own Harry or anything like that, they belong to J.K Rowling
I smile as I close the first Harry Potter book. This had to be the five hundreth time i've read the series. "Now on to book two." I say with a smile. I put the first book up and grab the Chamber of Secrets.
Just before i could get past the first page my little sister Carly opens my door with a slam. "DINNER!" She shouts, I just roll my eyes.
"You could have knocked you know."
She rolls her eyes at me. "Whatever, mum sent me up here to fetch you." I set my book down. "You're going to read that again? You've read it loads of times already! You're boring, no wonder you dont got a life."
I sigh and resist the urge to throw my book at her head. She's only 10 and i'm 17. That's the only reason i don't throw this at her, and it's Harry Potter, i don't want to risk ruining my book. "I'll be down in a second brat." I mutter at her.
She rolls her eyes and leaves my room and stomps all the way down the stairs. Atleast I don't live with the Dursley's that would blow. I stand up and strech out my arms, i decide to actually go down and eat at the table like a actual family. I never quiet thougt i belonged with them, or really anyone at all for that matter. The only time i felt like me was when I read the Harry Potter books. I feel like family I feel like i should be there. That's just me Eli the book worm. I walk downstairs and sit at the table as my mom places a plate of meatloaf infront of me.
"You've been up in your room almost half the summer already, what do you do?" My mom asks me.
"I just got done with the Harry Potter series, i'm restarting it." I say while sipping my ice tea.
"You read that all the time, don't you want another new series to read?" My dad asks me.
"No i'm okay. I'm already on the second book again. Maybe once i'm done with the series again, i'll think about it." I say casually.
The rest of the meal I wasn't talked to. My sister Carly got the spot light back on her, she's perfected that trick of hers since she turned six. I finish as quick as i can and pardon myself. Which no one notices that I leave anyway, Carly was telling about her day at this day camp she goes to. I pick up the book and lay down in bed. About halfway through chapter five i start falling asleep.
I must of fell asleep because next thing I know someone is shaking me. I figure it's Carly coming to tell me breakfast is ready or something. "Come on Eli, aunt Petunia will be very cross if we don't hurry up." I hear a little boy say to me.
"What Carly put you up to this? Go away i'm sleeping it's summer i've earned that right to sleep in without my little sister bugging me." I pause my voice, sounded different, younger. I open my eyes and I spot a young Daniel Radcliff staring at me with curious eyes. "What the heck?" I mumble.
Before he could respond I hear someone pound on the wall. "WAKE UP, UP! I want everything perfact for Dudleys birthday."
I notice we're in a cuboard. Under the stairs, just like. "Harry Potter." I whisper.
"Yes, that's me you're twin brother. Are you feeling okay? Aunt Petunia favors you i'm sure she would take you to a Doctor." Dani- Harry says to me concern in his voice.
"No, no i'm okay. Lets get out there before she throws a fit."
We exit the cuboard and spot aunt Petunia standing with her arms crossed. "What have I told you about sleeping in the cuboard young lady?" I didn't know what to say. In the book the Dursley's were horrible to Harry. But i'm not him, i'm his twin sister? I don't know what's going on. "Harry go look after the bacon. Don't let it burn I wan't everything perfact for Dudley's birthday."
Harry nods his head. "Yes aunt Petunia." He walks past me and into the kitchen.
"Let's go get you changed into that dress i bought you yesterday."
I look up at her with curious eyes, she was smiling at me. "Yes aunt Petunia." I reply and follow her up the stairs.
We pass what would be Dudley's second bedroom but i almost tripped on my face. It wasn't filled with toys or anything that was in the book. It was a baby blue and it looked like a girls room. "I don't see why you spend the night down there with your brother when you have your own room dear." I was now even more confused. "Miss Potter." I hear Petunia call from her room.
"Yes aunt Petunia." I walk in and she's holding up a pink dress with white roses on it.
"Put this on please." I nod my head and change in the bathroom quickly. "Oh don't you just look darling. Lets go have breakfast with your cousin and uncle." Why was she being so nice?
I follow silently behind her and down the stairs. I stay behind her as we enter the kitchen. "You look lovely today Elizabeth." I hear uncle Vernon. I shyly thank him. I look at all the presents for Dudly wow that's alot. Thirty six i think. "Where's my cofee boy?" Uncle Vernon asks Harry.
"I'll get it uncle Vernon." I say while walking to the cofee machine.
"You don't have to my girl." Say what?
"It's no problem uncle." I get the cup and give Harry a sympathetic smile. He mouths 'thank you', I mouth 'you're welcome' back.
I place down his food and cofee. "Thank you." Did he just thank me?
"You're welcome uncle Vernon." I looked at Harry, i walk over and help him with other plates.
"Good morning pumpkin. Happy birthday!" I hear aunt Petunia exclaim.
"How many are there?" I hear Dudley ask. I roll my eyes, here we go.
"Thirty six, counted them myself."
Dudley's face was angry, I stepped in before he could say a word. "Wait he miss counted, there's 38 he forgot mine and they're getting you one more from the zoo."
Dudley looks to me and smiles. "Thank you Eli!" He says and he...hugs me. I look at him surprised.
"You're welcome." I look at Harry. "Can I talk to you?" He nods his head. We walk out into the hall. "I'm confused."
Harry looks at me strange. "What do you mean?"
I point to the kitchen. "They're being nice to me. I'm your twin sister. I'm just confused. To top it all of i'm what 9. I was seventeen when i went to bed last night!"
Harry looked at me. "Are you sure you're feeling okay?"
I nod my head. "Yes i'm okay." I sigh and look toward the kitchen.
The phone rings and aunt Petunia picks it up. "Hello? Yes, oh alright i suppose we'll have to take him. Alright feel better. bye bye."
Harry and I look at one another. "Let's go see what's going on. Oh and you're ten, eleven on July 31st." Harry says with a playful smile.
We walk into the living room and I cautiously sit down next to Dudley. Aunt Petunia sat down at the table and there was two seats open. "Well mrs. Figg can't watch the boy. She's broken her leg."
I could see Dudley's face start to turn red. "I could stay behind so Dudley could invite Piers, i'm sure he wouldn't want silly old me coming along." I offer, I knew Harry doesn't like anyway.
"I want you to come with me, you always do. You're my favorite cousin!" Dudley whales beside me.
I look over at him then to Harry. "Alright Dudley i'll come along if you want. Could Harry please come along?" I give Dudley puppy dog eyes and I also give themt to Vernon and Petunia.
"Oh alright I suppose so. No funny business boy." I smile and look at Harry. This was going to be an interesting trip to the zoo that no one would forget.
Well that's it for now, Chapter two is going to be the vanishing glass.
