Chapter 10 – Harry Potter
Mr and Mrs Weasley exchanged yet another look of concern…and of something else – anger? Why would they be angry? It looked like the same sort of anger Hagrid had with the Dursleys – was this for the same reason? Were they also angry at the Dursleys for not telling me? This was all far too weird…and far too much. Everyone new everything…if more about me than I myself did! To be honest I just felt like completely breaking down or pretending to be someone else! Argh my head hurt!
This must have shown on my face as they both looked yet more concerned and a little put out at my lovely new complexion. So I repeated again.
"I didn't realise I had a twin brother."
"What? You've never been told – never seen him?" Mr Weasley asked me, slightly shocked, it seemed.
"Not at all. I didn't realise I had any family left apart from the Dursleys. So where's this brother of mine then? What happened to him?"
"Well, that's just it – no-one knows exactly what happened, or where he disappeared to…we assumed that when you defeated him that you went to wherever your brother disappeared to…obviously not. And what's weirder is exactly why and how he disappeared and then you defeated the evilest sorcerer of all time! It's just maddening and thinking about it makes my head hurt. This seemed so impossible – at 1 year old too!"
I felt my face frown – so great, now me and my unknown brother are both a mystery, famous and scaring the living daylights out of everyone…and obviously giving them too much to think about – and yet they all know more than me! Definitely maddening! And I expect they want me to come up with all the answers! I don't have a clue who I am anymore – this is weird – I don't remember ANY of this happening! Apart from that vision…and to think, I thought it was a car crash! I thought I was a normal person! Pa! No wonder the girl was afraid of me. I frowned further at the thought.
"Well, I don't have a clue and to be perfectly honest this is exhausting me a lot and I don't like it. I didn't know about any of this until now and I thought I was a normal kid in a normal world but no – not only am I magic, if that isn't just weird enough on it's own, but I am famous and marked for death all of a sudden too AND I've got an unknown brother out there too assuming he's not dead – this is absolutely great!" Sarcasm dripped thick and sticky off my words and they were probably beginning to not like me much now…I felt completely confused and thoroughly miserable. Hey, maybe when I wake up this will all be a dream!
Instead of being angry at me however the two Weasley's looked sympathetic and now guilty. Now I felt guilty! Oh sweet god!
"I'm so sorry – this is all just far too much at the minute – and please don't blame it on yourselves for telling me – I wanted to know – still do! But I just wish this was a dream and not real, just give me time to take all this in."
I sat there for a minute with them looking at me and thought about all I'd heard, learnt and tried to make sense of it all. When I had, I forced a smile and said.
"Right, thank you so much for helping me and telling me – it's best to be aware I think, just know that I am still a bit unsure about all of this – but, hey, I'm getting there! Thank you so much for saving me Mrs Weasley and I'd love to see your family. I'm so sorry if I've been of any inconvenience at all, but it is hard." I smiled a sad smile.
They both nodded and mirrored my smile.
"That's quite all right dear, it can't be easy." Mr Weasley nodded in agreement to his wife's remark.
"er…before I meet the rest of your family," I took a small breath to smile at them, "Can I ask just one more thing?"
"Of course – we're here to help!" Mr Weasley smiled at me a warm smile that made me trust them with my life – I new where I could go (besides Hagrid also) if I needed any questions or queries answered. I smiled back.
"What's my brothers name?" I shared another sad smile with them. Then in unison they said,
"His name's Harry Potter."
Lyra
While Lyra and the Weasleys were conversing they were unaware that a small red headed girl was spying on them from the top of the staircase. She was intrigued and yet scared but she didn't know why – would this amazing girl be her new friend?
But what this young girl did not realise and what Lyra and the Weasley parents did not know was that a dark figure was moving outside with a crescent moon tattoo on it's head and next to it a mysterious, black covered creature with human eyes and a beak, whirling as if caught in a gust of wind. Then in the twinkle of their eyes they had vanished from sight leaving the girl on the stairs to keep peeking through the banisters at the three in the kitchen of the Burrow.
