A/N Here's chapter two. It's kind of a short chapter but I hope you like it.
Unfortunately I do not own Harry Potter or an of it's characters. Fortunately I do own Isadora Hales and her parents.
Isadora Time
2
Mr. And Mrs. Dursley considered themselves to be rather nice and normal people. After all they did take in their freak of a nephew after Petunia's sister died. But they also cared what people thought and so when a skinny little brown haired girl showed up at their door they immediately let her in. Only because most of their neighbors were outside and staring at them.
A half hour earlier
Isadora had to time this just right. She stood at the end of the neighborhood watching as people went in and out of there houses. Finally deciding that there was enough people she began to walk towards 4 Private Drive. As she planned several of the neighbors stopped what they were doing and watched as the small brown haired girl walked right up to the door, set down her bags, and knocked. When Petunia Dursley let her in she let herself smile. The Dursleys would do anything to make them seem like the perfect family.
The present
"I was told to give this to you." Isadora smiled and handed the twig like woman a letter. Isadora knew she recognized the writing because her eyes had gotten wide and her mouth was slightly open.
"V-Vernon." Petunia whispered but it seemed to be heard by the whale of a man for he took the letter and tore it open.
"Orphaned..." Vernon skimmed through the letter, "Take care of... will be attending Hog-" he stopped and stared at Isadora who just smiled at him.
"Something wrong?" she asked and could almost laugh when the man turned purple and pointed his chubby little finger towards the door. "Out!" he yelled.
"Well, okay then." Isadora sighed, "I guess I'll take the money I was given and find a different house." she headed towards the door but was stopped just like she knew she would be.
"How...how much money?" Petunia asked and Isadora took out another envelope that held the money. "Well it's about thousand pounds." she told them. "And then I was told to pay you for each year that I live here. But if you want me out..."
"You can stay!" Vernon said quickly, "But you'll have to help around the house."
"Of course. And where will I be staying?" she asked.
"We have a guest room." Petunia said, "DUDLEY!" she shouted up to her son who ran down the stairs like a herd of elephants.
"Yes mummy?" Dudley said while staring at the brown haired girl.
"Clear your things out of the guest room." she told him, "Isadora here will be staying with us for a while."
"Why can't she sleep with Harry?" Dudley asked only to get a stern look from his father. "Okay Mummy." Dudley said and ran up the stairs.
"BOY!" Vernon yelled when Dudley was gone. Isadora looked straight and smiled when she saw Harry come out of the kitchen. He was much smaller then Rowling and portrayed and he didn't even wear glasses. Harry looked at her for a second before turning towards his uncle.
"Yes Uncle?" Harry said and Isadora noticed that his voice was very soft too.
"Take these things up to the guest room." Vernon immediately ordered as soon as he heard Harry's voice.
"Yes Uncle." Harry said again and went to pick up Isadora's things only to be stopped by the time traveler.
"I'm quiet capable of carrying my own things." she said and picked up one of her bags, "But if you want to help go a head." Harry looked at her for a moment before nodding his head and picking up her second bag.
"Lead the way." she said and Harry walked in front of her, showing her where she'll be staying for the next seven years.
Vernon and Petunia Dursley watched as their nephew led the young girl up the stairs to the guest room that once belonged to Dudley.
"Now we have another freak in the house." Petunia said.
"Yes dear, but at least this one is paying us and we can kick her out any time we want." Petunia looked at her husband and smiled, he was always able to see the good in things. When Harry was dropped on their doorstep it was Vernon who suggested they keep him as a servent. When the crazy old bat moved in across the street it was Vernon who suggested they drop Harry on her while they go out. And it was Vernon who suggested Dudley take up fighting when they found he was rather large and not that smart.
"How about we go out to dinner and leave the freaks with Ms. Figg? Petunia suggested and Vernon quickly agreed before going to the phone to make the arrangements.
Isadora studied the back of Harry Potter as he led her to her new room. He was definitely smaller than Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who played Harry. His hair was darker too and much more untamed. She kind of knew that he wouldn't look like Radcliffe but she could tell there also were differences between him and the way Rowling wrote him as. She still couldn't get over the fact that he didn't wear glasses; they were his trademark in the future, that and his scar.
"You're quiet."Isadora said when she started to feel a little bit awkward.
"You don't want to talk to a freak like me." Harry said so quietly Isadora had to strain her ears just to hear him.
"Who said you were a freak?" she asked even though she already knew the answer. She swore if she could use magic she would have hexed those Dursleys silly.
"My Uncle and Aunt. They raised me so they should know." he said right before they stopped in front a door. Isadora guessed that it was her room.
"First off, you're not a freak. If you're a freak than so am I." Isadora said. "Second, things are going to get a whole lot better, trust me. And third, you never told me your name." Harry stood there for a few uncounted moments before finally looking at Isadora.
"Harry Potter." he said causing her smile. "Nice to meet you Harry, I'm Isadora Hales."
"It's nice to meet you too." he smiled for the first time since she got there.
An hour later the two sat on a worn out couch while being stared at by many cats. Isadora entertain herself by having random staring contests with the cats. Sadly she lost everyone of them. Harry entertained himself by watching Isadora have her amusing fun.
"You know," Isadora stopped her contest and turned to Harry, "I don't think these stupid things have blinked once since we've arrived." Harry couldn't help it, he laughed. Isadora stared confusedly at him for a moment before joining him in laughing.
Arabella Figg stood by the kitchen door and watched the two children laugh. It brought a smile to her face to know that the young Potter boy had finally made a fun. She watched the two for a few more moments before limping to the fireplace in the next room. She was sure Dumbledore would want to know about the young girl who took residence in the Dursley household.
Albus Dumbledore sat in his office looking through the Book of Names. The Book of Names was simply a book that magical recorded all magical children born, be they muggle-born or pure blooded. He was only at the 'F's when he heard a voice coming from the fireplace.
"Albus!" he turned towards it to see the Arabella Figg's head sticking out of the green flames.
"Ah, Arabella. How are you, is everything with Harry alright?" he asked and made his way the the armchair in front of the fireplace.
"Oh everything is more than fine." she answered, "In fact he's the happiest I've seen him since he moved into the Dursleys."
"That's splendid. Any idea on why he seems to be so happy?" he asked.
"Yes. It might have something to do with the young girl who just moved into the Dursleys." She told him, "I don't think they like her very much since they sent her here with Harry when they went out."
"What's the girl's name?"
"Isadora, sir. Isadora Hales." she told him and failed to notice his eyes widen every so slightly.
"Hales you say?" his hand went up to stroke his white beard. "Hmmm. That name is familiar to me. Watch her closely." The two then said goodbye to each other and Dumbledore went back to his desk and resumed looking through the names. However this time he skipped right to the 'H's. He knew the name Hales was familiar and he was satisfied when he saw that "Hales, Isadora." was at the top of the page. Though he thought it strange when he saw her date of birth was July 30th, 1997. He would have to have a talk with Miss. Hales when she arrived September first.
And that was chapter two. I hope you like it so far. Next chapter will be Isadora and Harry getting their letters and school supplies.
