Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Four years have passed since the Simonets arrived. Evelyn and Harry had many play dates, much to the disappointment of Petunia. But she got over it quickly. She was able to spend more time with her little Duddy-kins with him away. She was actually walking the boy over now. She knocked on the door and waited until Elizabeth came and opened it.
"Petunia! What brings this visit?" she asked. "I'm sorry, Elizabeth, but Vernon and I have to go away for a while, and my sister-in-law can only care for one child at a time. If its okay with you, can the boy- I mean, can Harry stay with you?" she asked politely.
Elizabeth smiled. "Of course! How long will you be gone?" she asked. Petunia stiffened. "You see… It's our anniversary so we will be gone for a month…" Elizabeth's eyes widened. "Then you must go! It will be no trouble! Happy Anniversary, by the way!"
Petunia smiled. "Thank you! Well we must be going!" she then promptly left. No 'Goodbye Harry!' or 'Behave!'. Elizabeth let Harry inside. "Thank goodness she left…" she smirked at Harry. "This means, tomorrow we shop for proper clothes for you!" Harry smirked back. Elizabeth questioned him on his treatment at home after Evelyn told her what Dudley called him and took him in whenever she could to help him. She was the mother he never had. It worked out wonderfully since Evelyn was like a little sister to him. They even passed as siblings in public. People just assumed that Harry looked like her father. He remembered asking them about him. Apparently he was murdered in a shooting at work when Evelyn was three.
'Speaking of the devil' thought Harry as he saw Evelyn running down the stairs. "Harry! When did you get here? Come on let's play!" she said excitedly. Harry gave her a grin. She was always so excited and carefree. He, however, knew how she could manipulate people with her charisma. She did that almost everyday to Petunia. Harry was learning how to do that as well.
When they got to her room they immediately started to pretend sword fight with small wood sticks. Evelyn loved playing pirate. She was able to knock the 'sword' out of Harry's hand and was about to go for the 'final attack'. Harry, not wanting to lose, wished that he had his sword. His piece of wood soared towards him and into his hand. Evelyn gasped.
"Y-you..."
Harry looked at her, wide eyed. "I didn't …" she smiled. "I knew you could do magic! I saw you do it to Dudley's tricycle before but I thought maybe I was imagining it…" she then put her 'sword' on her bed and went to the opposite side of her room. "I can do magic as well!" She glanced at her 'sword' and it came flying towards her. "All I can do is summon things. Mom said that once I just summoned my bottle as a baby. That is why we moved. Kids at my school thought I was weird since I could levitate balls and cryons."
She looked very disappointed at this. "Hey it's ok! I once made my teacher's hair turn blue and ended up on a roof! Maybe we just need to practice!" he said. He hated seeing her upset. She gave him a happy smile. "Your right Harry!" her eyes burned with determination.
"That's the way to go, Eve!" he cheered. They kept practicing until dinner. Afterwards they watched a movie until Elizabeth ushered them upstairs. They had made a fort earlier, and took out sleeping bags. They loved 'camping' in Evelyn's room. They quietly talked about how they what they were going to do the next day before slowly drifting off to sleep.
They woke up the next day to the smell of eggs, toast, and bacon. They raced downstairs and greeting Elizabeth. "So what do you want to do today?" she asked. Harry and Evelyn looked at each other before smiling. "Anything!" they both exclaimed. Elizabeth chucked and told them to get ready when they were done. Luckily for Harry, he had clothes that actually fit him at their house. He had grown taller over the years, and he would be lying if he say it wasn't because of the good meals Elizabeth was giving him. To him, that was a miracle on its own. His hair also grew longer. It almost reached his shoulders. He went upstairs and put on jeans and a green t-shirt that matched his eyes. He took pride in realizing that his eyes were a unique color of green. He quickly put his sneakers on and ran downstairs. Evelyn ran after a few minutes. She was also wearing jeans and light blue shirt. Her hair was up in a high ponytail.
"Lets go!" cried Elizabeth. She always got excited about shopping. She smirked at them. He blinked. She was planning something….Evelyn and Harry shared a knowing look; they were going to get a LOT of things.
XxXxX
They were right. They had gotten a lot of things and were looking for a place to eat. They saw a sign that said 'The Leaky Cauldron'.
"Lets go here!" exclaimed Evelyn. Elizabeth eyed the place carefully before entering. "I might need to get more money…" mumbled Elizabeth. Evelyn and Harry went to the front. "Um hello. Can we-" they were rudely interrupted when the man looked at Harry and gasped. "Your Harry Potter!" he whispered. Harry saw that there was admiration in the man's eyes and looked to Evelyn before nodding. He did not know this man, who apparently knew him. He did not want to be vulnerable when he had no information. He tried to keep a calm face and act as if it was normal for random people to know his name.
"Yes, I am. But you mustn't be so loud." He said. The man straightened up. "Of course! You probably need to get into Daigon Alley, yes?" "Um yes. Tell me, is there a bank-" Elizabeth was also cut off by the man. "Yes, yes! Gringotts! Now come!" he led the way to a brick wall and took out what looked like a stick. He taped the bricks in a certain order and the wall opened. Evelyn, Harry, and Elizabeth looked shocked. "Welcome to the Wizarding World once again, Mr. Potter!" Elizabeth cleared her throat. "Yes this Gringotts, where is it?" The man told them the directions and they quickly left, trying to stay away from anyone.
That was a long chapter compared to the others. Oh, and reviews make me happy! Hint Hint!
