Chapter Two: Fear Me Not

It's been 11 years had passed quite fast since the Kreyns saw the baby Harry on their doorstep with a letter from their old professor telling them that Harry is their nephew and his parents had died the night before. Mary Jane Potter – Kreyn was distraught after they read the letter. She hugged the baby Harry tightly and caressed the lightning bolt scar on his forehead. She promised that day that she and her husband will protect and love her nephew.

Harry Potter kept his surname but still call his aunt and uncle, mom and dad. Also he is well aware about where are his parents but do not know why they died or if someone kill them. His parents won't tell him even though he asked.

He was raised with full love, as promised by Mary, with his cousin who he recognized as his brother.

Erickson Scott Kreyn is the one and only child of the Kreyns until Harry came to their doorstep after he was born. Harry is a day older than him. Harry and Erick were always told to be twins not only because Mary had fond of dressing them alike when they were still children until now but because they really look like each other. From the face... to the rise of their hair from the back, the height, and the way they smile cheekily if they were caught by Mary playing with her bonsai in their garden.

The only differences were their eyes, the scar and the shape of their eyeglasses. Harry has his mother's green eyes, the lightning bolt scar, and his eyeglasses were rounded while Erick has his father's baby blue eyes, rectangular eyeglasses and of course he does not have a scar. But both of them have the Potter looks.

"Harry! Erick! Breakfast!" Mary called out. They are now living at Privet Drive #6, beside Dursley family. They pretty well remember the first time they set foot at Privet Drive the Dursleys were nice to them but as soon as Petunia Dursley heard the last name of Harry she grew pale and started glaring at Harry as soon as the Kreyn parents are not looking to them.

"Just a minute mom!" cried Erick as he tries to finish the book he is reading since three in the morning. Harry groaned a little before picking up his eyeglasses on the bed side table. Both greeted each other before going down together to the dining room.

At the dining room they were greeted by Mary and the smell of bacons being cooked. Cyan barked as an acknowledgement to their presence before munching his dog food. Cyan is a German shepherd that they found starving on their old hometown, Asphite town, a town that Harry and Erick can't remember where.

Harry and Erick ate their breakfast as slow as possible because today they will be with the abominable son of Dursleys, Dudley Dursley he, like his father, Vernon Dursley, were big and beefy boy. Their mother insisted them to come with their cousin on his special day.

"You two eat faster the Dursleys might be waiting for you now." ordered Mary seeing her sons are eating slowly. They do what was ordered but not without whining first.

"Mom... do we really have too?" whined Harry. "I mean Dudley and we, we will never be good."

"And I'm sure, mom that Dudley haven't finish his overload, super, mega breakfast for today!" Erick butted in. Mary both gave them a joking stern gaze.

"And how are you so sure young men?"

"Because Dudley is... A PIG!" both brothers said in unison and laugh after that. Mary shook her head before reminding them to finish their breakfast faster again.

Today they will be attending Dudley's 11th birthday. For past 5 years since they set foot on Privet Drive they always attend Dudley's birthday. Dudley always receives numerous gifts from his father who obviously spoil him much. They always give him gifts but when Mary or Cam is not around they see Dudley crushing or throwing their gift to the trashcan purposely to annoy them. Not that they mind it's only a Fit & Health Magazine though.

After Dudley's birthday today together with the Dursleys and Piers Pollkiss, Dudley's best friend who awfully look like a rat, they will be going to zoo. At the thought of Dudley's friends coming with them Harry and Erick turned paler than they are usually were.

"Mom, are you sure they our relatives?" asked Harry randomly as he wear his red, horizontal striped t-shirt. Mary gave him a questioning look.

"What do you mean baby?" Harry rolled his eyes after hearing what Mary called him.

"Well... he always bullies us and cousins are not supposed to do that" explained Erick wearing his blue, horizontal striped t-shirt.

"Of course cousins shouldn't suppose do that to each other" said Mary. She will be saying more when they reach the Dursleys' doorstep and rang the doorbell. "Will continue these boys but for now enjoy your trip to the zoo" She then ushered them out from their house and gave them to the Dursley parents. Petunia answered the door and gave a warm fake smile to Mary and a hidden dirty look to Harry which he and Erick only caught.

"Behave." Mary said sternly with a smile before she left.

Before they leave to zoo Vernon talked to them privately. He dragged them to the other side of the car covering them up from their parents.

"I warn you two, if you do anything wrong that will make this trip horrible and terrible I'll smash you two into bony pieces! Understand?!"

Both boys nod in fright.

"Why did mom and dad isn't going with us, again?" asked Harry as soon as Vernon left.

"Work, work that we don't even know what it is." said Erick. "They said there is an emergency but they always have emergencies don't you think?"

"Yeah..."

'BEEP' 'BEEP'

Vernon smashed the horn of his car agitatedly. His brows knitting in agitation to them? They don't know but usually, it's them.

"Hurry up" said Dudley "Losers" he said the last part quietly seeing their parents is still there. Both of them quickly seat between Dudley and Piers, their legs are squeezing to each other because of Dudley's size and Piers accommodation to the space. He is slouching on the seat.

The travel to the as expected was not good. Harry and Erick were sandwiched between Dudley and Piers. Both hog and rat were obviously trying to suffocate them. They purposely squeeze them whenever they pass to a curve and not only that they will also whine so they will be reprimanded by Vernon and Petunia.

At last they reached the zoo whole and alive but with sore limbs. They just behave just like what Vernon wants them. They just follow wherever the Dursleys and their rat go. When they walk into the reptile section of the zoo Erick started to sweat and look a little bit nervous.

'KNOCK' 'KNOCK' 'KNOCK'

"WAKE UP!" shouted Dudley on the glass window of a sleeping cobra. Erick shakes a little at the sight. Vernon tried to help his son but got reprimanded by Harry.

"He's asleep!"

Vernon can't bring himself shout at Harry in public so he just shook his head and leave them alone.

"How boring..." Dudley said then leaves the sleeping snake.

"Sorry about that. He just doesn't know what the feeling of lying down there all day, doing nothing" apologized Harry to the sleeping snake. (Wait! Does this happen already?) He thought.

Just then the cobra stands up and gave him a wink. Erick started to shake obviously on his place.

"Do you hear me?" asked Harry excitedly. The cobra nodded.

"Yesssss..." Harry heard at the back of his head hissed the cobra.

"Is that you?!" asked Harry, he received another nod from the cobra.

"Harry! I think I'm going crazy!" said Erick suddenly, trembling in fear of the snake. "I think I heard the snake talking!"

"Fear me notttt..." hissed the snake at the back of their heads seeing Erick is scared of him before Harry could asked if Erick can hear the snake too. Just then Dudley came and roughly pushed them aside making them stumble on the ground.

"Wow!" gasped Dudley while leaning his full weight on the glass.

Harry don't know but after he angrily glared Dudley on his back the glass window Dudley is leaning on disappeared and Dudley stumbled inside. The cobra grabbed the chance to free itself. As it slither near them it was mysteriously flew back inside its cage and was knocked out after Erick gasped and shakes terribly.

Meanwhile, the glass window mysteriously reappeared and Dudley was locked up inside the cage with a knocked out cobra.

"My SON!" gasped Petunia.

Harry laughed at the scene and Erick can't help but laugh at Dudley's face as he tried to remove the sleeping snake around his neck.

"MOMMY! AH!" Harry heard Erick lip read out loud what Dudley is saying to his mom. Both of them laughed out loud. They were silenced when Vernon look at them venomously and grabbed them by the arm roughly and drag them to the parking lot.

"What did you do?!" asked Vernon angrily holding their heads up by their hair.

"I swear I don't know!" answered Erick.

"Do you think I will believe that?! Tell me what you did?!" Vernon grasped their hair tighter.

"I-it is like magic!" said Harry.

"There is no such thing as magic!" hissed Vernon lowly before pushing them inside the car.

As soon as they reached home Harry and Erick quickly went inside their house and locked inside their room. They open their window when they heard the squeaking horn of their car. As expected they saw the Dursley parents went to their parents and talk about them misbehaving in the whole trip. Surely they will be hearing a lot from their mom.

They don't have to wait because in a minute they heard their mom's rapid knocking on their door. Harry heard their mom murmur an incoherent word on the other side of the door and suddenly their door was open.

"Can you care to explain what happened young men?" interrogated Mary with knitting eyebrow.

"Mom...?" started Erick, gulping hard.

"Hmmm...?"

"It's like magic." to their surprise Mary don't look like neither shocked nor in utter of disbelief of their explanation on what happened.

"I got angry to Dudley when he suddenly pushed us aside when we are talking to a..." Harry is unsure if to continue or not. A talking snake is far too much unbelievable.

"A snake?" Cam continued his sentence.

"How... how did you know dad?" asked Erick and Harry in unison.

"What!" gasped Mary her knitted eyebrows awhile ago rise up in shock after what she heard. "A SNAKE! Cam! They said they talk to a snake! Why are you so damn calm?!" Mary shouted at Cam. She then dragged him inside their bedroom. Harry and Erick quickly follow them and pressed their ears on their door. They heard gloating sound and then they can't hear anything inside.

"Harry, isn't their bedroom isn't soundproofed, is it?" asked Erick.

"Of course not." answered Harry.

"But why this is like this?"

"I don't know too."

They stayed like that for an hour or so but when their parents came out Mary is on her usual cheery mother mood again. As if nothing happened.

"You know Harry, I think something is being cooked up here." said Erick when they are finally alone in the dining room. Mary said that she will cook them a special dinner.

"Of course something is being cooked up, mom's cooking you know." answered Harry dumbly.

"No! Not cook like cooking foods. Like mom and dad have a surprise or plan behind or backs." Erick huffed. Harry does not have a chance to answer when Mary and her foods came in with Cam trailing behind.

As Harry retired to his bed, his mind floats back to his and Erick's talk awhile ago. Erick give him another thing to keep him awake beside of Erick's furious flipping of pages and scribbling on his journal.
