Chapter 3:
Harry Pov
Allow me to say that my life with the Dursley's has definitely improved. I had to pretend to cringe a lot, every time something even partially related to the magical world was mentioned. I bit back insults, did all my chores without complaints, made them delicious breakfast without being asked, and took up the 'Hobby' of polishing their shoes. So apart from the extra labor, there were a lot of benefits from chores.
With some of the money I got from Gringotts, I 'Paid back' the Dursley's the money I 'Owed' them. I gave them about a hundred dollars in Muggle Money. And when Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon asked if I robbed a bank, I replied with, "My disgraceful Mother and Father owe you a lot. What with taking me in and all." I said, but in the back of my mind cursing the Dursley's existence. For that little comment, earned me a hug and a cookie.
"Harry?" Aunt Petunia started. Ah, instead of boy, they've started calling me by name. "Yes mummy?" Yeah, I learned quickly that calling them 'Mummy' and 'Daddy' helps with brownie points. She smiled at me.
"I know you don't like to talk about it, but when do we have to take you to the train station?" I took the envelope out of my pocket and looked it over. "Ha, well isn't this weird. Very weird. It says that I have to take the train tomorrow. But the weird thing is, I have to catch the train at platform nine and three quarters."
Aunt Petunia threw me a weird look.
"Excuse me, platform nine and three quarters?" Uncle Vernon asked. I nodded. "I swear, their kind are off their knockers. And out of all the means a transportation, they picked a train."
"I know right! What's the matter, are all the magic carpets gone?" I joked, making Dudley and 'Daddy' laugh. "Good one Harry." Dudley said. I nodded.
"So Dudley… Have you lost weight?"
Juliunna Pov
"Juliunna Lucius Malfoy is the best witch alive. Say it!" I growled again. I sank my fingers deeper into Draco's ribs and tickled him. He laughed uncontrollably as I climbed on top of him. On the seat of our family limo, he kicked me.
"I will, (Cackles) never ever (giggles) say that!" (Gasps) I let my knee fly into his stomach. "Why you little-!"
"Children calm yourselves!" Mother screeched, and Father chuckled. "Listen to your mother and I kids. We're almost to the station." He chuckled.
"And besides Juliunna. I'm the best witch alive." Everyone chuckled at her.
"Oh, I'm going to miss my babies so much. Oh, I hope you kids will be okay. I'll send you both sweets every day. Write once a week too!"
"Alright mommy." I said, and Draco nodded solemnly. "Now, you both take good care of each other. Don't fight, get good grades, make friends, and if you must touch a mud blood make sure you watch your hands." I rolled my eyes, but this time Draco smirked.
"Yes Mommy."
"Ah, and this rule is for Juliunna only." Father said, and leaned forward in his seat threatenly. "No boys. Okay?" I held up my hands so he could see, and then crossed my fingers. "Sure thing Daddy 'o."
He groaned and sat back in his seat. "Just… Draco watch her."
"Sure thing Dad."
"Oh, and make our family legacy proud by getting in Slytherin. That will be all." He said coldly, and stopped to look out the window.
"Oh that rights, is Uncle Snape still a potions teachers?" I asked, breaking the cold tension in the car. "Yes, he's also Head of Slytherin house. You only hear that every week Juliunna." Draco smirked, making me remember what we were doing earlier.
"Now… where were we dear brother?" I said slyly, before pouncing on his surprised form.
"We're here!" Mother and Father said ceremoniously, and pulled Draco and I apart. As our limousine pulled to a stop, Mother helped me out."
"Straighten up. Fix your hair. Don't scrunch up your nose like that!" She said to Draco, as I scowered the place for Harry. He had to be here.
"What are you looking for?"
I jumped as Father appeared out of nowhere. "N-Nothing." I stuttered, and watched him magic my trunk out of the backseat. "So, I want to talk to you about you and Draco's friend." He said.
"Yes Daddy?" I spoke sweetly, with a cute baby voice. The same voice I used to charm Draco with to buy me things. Those were the days…
"It is to my attention that you both have befriended the Potter boy?" He asked. I nodded. I already knew what he was going to say.
"The same boy that brought upon the downfall of our Lord?" He said with more of a whisper then last time. "But daddy, he could change-!"
"Oh really?" He said sarcastically.
"Really! He's going to Slytherin too! That's a start!" I whispered, allowing him to think. He pushed my cart alongside Draco's toward Platform nine and three quarters. "Well just be careful alright? I know that the Dark Lord was vanquished a long time ago, but if his followers were to find out that my children were friends with… the boy who lived… I wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."
"What consequences?" I asked, now curious.
"Well let's see, the more devoted one's would hunt us down. Probably try to kill us off-!"
"People would do that?!" I gasped. "Just for hanging out with Harry?" I asked softly again. People are just so rude!
"Oh yes, they definitely will. Just be careful please, ran I don't want anything to happen to our family because of your… carelessness." He warned me, and I nodded. We stopped at the platform.
"You first Princess." Father said, and I walked right into it. I looked around and sighed happily. It was amazing.
"Hi." A voice said, and I turned around. I was instantly met with the most beautiful eyes ever! "Hi!" I said shyly. But that was all I could get out before he gave me a sly smile and ran away. He's cute. But when I turned around, I found the reason he ran.
Draco.
(Sigh) Brothers are weird.
