Secret Revealed and Drastic Changes
The sun was shining brightly into my eyes. I rolled over and snuggled into my blankets. I felt a fat finger poke into my side.
"Go away Dudley. I am still tired." I complained.
He looked alarmed. "What? You are still tired? You are sure you are okay?" He suddenly beamed and jumped onto my bed. "Today's my birthday! Where's my present?"
Still in a sleepy state of mind, I answered " I am fine. What birthday? What present?"
He shook me enthusiastically. "Hey! My present! My present!"
I rolled my eyes. "Fine, I am awake now. Really, anyone would think that you are a 3 year old. So excited for your birthday present"
I got up and went to my drawer. I began to rummage around in it. Where in hell is it?
"AHA! Here it is! Happy birthday." I handed over the wrapped present.
"Wow! Thanks! I have been trying to get them for a long time" He thanked me
I smiled "No problem." I had given him a pack of rare baseball deluxe cards. He had been trying to collect them for ages.
"Thanks again. Harry. Oh we are going out to celebrate later. Remember to dress up!" He wandered out happily.
I closed the door and locked it. I could not let them find out about my secret. About a year ago, I found out that I make strange things happen by accident. It's probably magic. I couldn't tell anyone in the family about it. Just the mere hint of any slightly unusual, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia went crazy and became very paranoid. Our next door neighbor, Mrs. Lavonia recently bought a crow home as a pet. When Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon heard about it, they became very agitated and they muttered the whole day.
"Unnatural to have a crow as a pet…Bad luck for a long time…Must have something wrong with her mind…"
They went on and on about it for weeks. It nearly drove both Dudley and me mad. They even forbade us to go near her, which I thought was very unreasonable. Mrs. Lavonia was a perfectly healthy normal lady who was both kind and generous. We visited her whenever Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were not around. She would give us sweets and money whenever children visited her.
I first found out about my magical abilities about 6 months ago. I can speak to snakes! I fell sick the first time I heard the snakes' voices and spoke to them. About a week after that, Dudley was out, Uncle and Aunt were out and I was all alone at home. I was doing some gardening and had to water my flowers. I could not find the watering can and felt very frustrated. I wished that the watering can just appear and water all the flowers by itself. This will save me the trouble of watering the stupid flowers.. Grumbling to myself, I walked towards the flowerbed. My jaw dropped and I was speechless. The watering can was watering all the flowers by itself! I rubbed my eyes and blinked hard. I shook my head, this must be an illusion, what I want it to happen couldn't possible come true. I opened my eyes, the watering can was still there. I must have somehow willed it to happened
How am I suppose to get rid of it after it finish its job? I decided to will it to disappear, and it disappeared! From then on, I could do stuff like that but I was careful not to let Dudley or anybody know about it. I would lose control whenever I experience great emotion and things would happen. Since then, I tried to keep my emotions in control. The reason I kept it from Dudley was because he wouldn't believe me and , also, he couldn't keep a secret to save his life.
Footsteps stomped up the stairs. It must be Dudley. With a click of my fingers, I unlocked the door. The door burst open.
"Harry!" Dudley wailed. "Mum and Dad wouldn't let us go to the magic show! They promised to go wherever I wanted!"
I thought he sounded like a spoilt, whiney brat
Surprised, I asked "Why? It's nice and normal to go to a magic show as part of a birthday celebration."
He replied. "Course Dad said he didn't want those damn magicians putting funny ideas into our head."
"That's strange. I will try to persuade them." I felt angry. We have been longing to go to the magic show for ages. Why wouldn't they let us do such a simple thing?
I found Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon sitting on the sofa in the living room watching television. I confronted them.
"Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, Why won't you let Dudley and me go to the magic show?"
"Boy! This is NOT for you to decide! I am your Uncle and Dudley's father! This gives me the rights to make any decisions regarding your welfare!" He roared. He stood up, advancing on us, his face going purple. We backed away hastily.
I felt very furious. Why is his reaction so extreme? I didn't deserve to be scolded like this A surge of energy rushed through me.
I shouted. "UNCLE VERNON! WHY ARE YOU OVERREACTING? WE JUST WANTED TO GO TO A MAGIC SHOW! IS THAT VERY HARD TO DO? I ALWAYS OBEYED YOU AND I AM WELL BEHAVED! CAN'T YOU LET US GO FOR ONCE? I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU CONTROLING WAYS"
CRASH! SMASH! The sound of glass breaking filled the air.
At the end of this I was breathing hard and breathless. I was too busy trying to control my temper to notice what had happened. The windows made of glass had shattered with the force of my anger. The whole house was silent, you could hear a pin drop. I knew I have gone too far this time, actually shouting at my guardian.
I sneaked a look at them. They looked terrified, especially Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon. I don't think anyone had shouted at him since he was a child. Both Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were deathly pale and shaking badly. Inside, I was surprised, surely I hadn't frighten them so badly by my outburst. Dudley have not seen me like this before. I thought that their reaction are a bit extreme, as usual.
I noticed all the windows had broken and shattered. Oh no! I let my anger get control of me.
Finally Uncle Vernon spoke, but not to me. "P-P-Petunia, d-d-did you see what h-h-he did? Oh heavens! He IS magical after all! I-I told you so!"
Aunt Petunia stuttered. "B-B-But they don't s-s-show signs so early! Let's not talk to him again."
They left a letter explaining everything to me. After I read the letter, my heart broke into two, my only relatives didn't want me because I am magical. Tears dripped down my face. Dropping the letter, I rushed up the stairs to my room. I dove onto my bed and sobbed my heart out.
From then on, the Dursleys never spoke to me again, unless it was necessary. Even Dudley didn't spoke to me. Months passed, I was treated as invisible and I felt very lonely. I wish I could get away from this place.
One night, the doorbell rang. Aunt Petunia opened the door. She gasped in shock. A man was standing there.
"Harry, he says he's here to take you away." She said.
I was surprised as I had never seen this man before.
