Chapter 2
It has been ten years since the harrowing incident Kerenza had grown up with Harry and the Dursley's Harry had been given a small room under the stairs where he slept on a horrible bed. Petunia, Harry's aunt, wanted Kerenza to sleep in the same room but there was no room what's so ever. So Kerenza was given the smallest guest bedroom the Dursley's owned. There wasn't a bed just a mattress laying on the floor Vernon, Harry's uncle, had said that he didn't want to give such a luxury to a orphan girl like her. She didn't have much else because there was no other girls in the house Vernon was forced to buy her new clothes. Kerenza had no where to place these clothes however so they stayed in neat piles on the floor.
On this day Kerenza was awoken to the noise of knocking outside her door Kerenza stayed in bed and listened and hoped that the knocking would stop but of course it didn't.
"come on girl wake up and get breakfast on!" Kerenza sighed deeply and got out of her bed/mattress. She quickly placed on a pair of black pants and a light blue top she then grabbed a brush and brushed through her long black hair. Before she left to go down stairs she grabbed a long sleeved jacket and looked at the mark on her arm. Throughout her whole life she wondered what that mark was Harry's uncle and aunt told her that her mother and father were horrible people who had obviously tattooed her before her mother was killed and her father was taken away by the police because he had murdered a few people. From down the steps Kerenza heard the noise of Dudley, Harry's fat annoying cousin.
"Wake up, cousin! We're going to the zoo!" Kerenza now remembered that it was Dudley's birthday today which meant Harry and herself would have to cook him a big breakfast and suffer his whining for an entire day. As Kerenza gets down the stairs she sees Dudley push Harry back into his 'room' Kerenza opened the door and pulled Harry up, who smiled in a way of saying 'thank you'.
As Kerenza and Harry get near the door they both hear Petunia say.
"oh, here he comes, the birthday boy!"
"happy birthday, son" Both Petunia and Dudley giggle together at this point both Harry and Kerenza are noticed.
"Why don't you just cook the breakfast, and try not to burn anything" She says horribly.
"Yes, Aunt Petunia" Harry says obediently Kerenza just nods and they both get to work.
"I want everything to be perfect for my Dudley's special day"
"Hurry up! Bring my coffee, boy!"
"Yes, Uncle Vernon" At this point Petunia leads Dudley over to the family room where a sea of presents is laying in front of Dudley but Dudley just asks.
"How many are there?"
"Thirty-six. Counted 'em myself" Vernon states proudly.
"Thirty-six?! But last year last year I got thirty-seven!"
"Yes, well, some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year!"
"I don't care how big they are!"
"Oh, now, now, now. This is what we're going to do, is that when we go out we're going to buy you two new presents! How's that, Pumpkin?" After Dudley, Petunia and Vernon had eaten they set of to go to the zoo but as Harry and Kerenza went to get in the car Vernon stops them.
"I'm warning you now you two. Any funny business, any at all, and you won't have any meals for a week. Get in" After they had arrived at the zoo Kerenza had slipped away from them she wanted Harry to come with her but she felt like she wanted to be alone at the moment. Kerenza had decided to go to the wolf enclosure in the mammal section in one area she saw a large grey wolf looking at the passers by almost sadly Kerenza stared at the wolf and as the wolf looked back a voice entered her head.
"I know you can hear me human" Kerenza stared at the wolf in shock.
"Did you just talk to me?"
"yes I did don't be afraid i'm sorry to have scared you but I wanted to try and see if I could talk to you and I wanted to see if you would listen" Kerenza at this point sat down I front of the wolf.
"Don't worry I'm not afraid and if anything I'm glad you talked to me" Kerenza placed her hand to the glass and the wolf placed it's head where her hand laid. She closed her eyes and suddenly she felt the glass disappear and the fur of the wolf rubbed against her fingers. Kerenza opened her eyes and saw the wolf looking at her in shock.
"I don't know what you did human but thank you now I can try and find my family" The wolf licked Kerenza's face and ran off Kerenza listened to the screams down the path and went to run away but a security guard grabbed her. When they found the Dursley's it seemed that Harry had gotten into the same predicament but with a snake and Dudley falling into the snake enclosure. When they all arrived home Petunia took Dudley into the living room to warm up but as Vernon entered he slammed the door shut and shoved Harry against the wall. Kerenza tried to pry him away but nothing worked Vernon just yelled in Harry's face.
"What happened?"
"I swear I don't know! One minute the glass was there and then it was gone! It was like magic!" Vernon scoffs and shoves Harry in his room.
"There's no such thing as magic!" Vernon then grabs Kerenza by her hair and pulls her up the stairs throwing her in her room and yelling. "And as for you, you can have no meals for a week and your not allowed to leave this room unless you are told to cook or clean"
