Chapter 8
"Harry?" asked Isis.
"Yaeh," he said while reading The Ultimate Book of Creatures.
"You've made references to what's happened at your school, would you tell me please?" Isis asked giving him the puppy dog pout.
"Ok," he said nervously staring at her.
"Cool, but before you do, I told you I'd tell you my animegus forms," she smiled.
Harry closed his book and said, "Ok," closing his book.
"Good I'll do them in order of when I first developed them. A black golden retriever, a blue, black and silver Chinese dragon, a grey short haired cat, a black python, a brown and black hawk, a bat, a spider monkey and finally the white wolf that I just developed."
"Wow, you can you show me?" Harry was ecstatic.
"I'll show you one after every year of school you tell me about, deal?"
"Deal," confirmed Harry. That day he told her about his first, second and third years of school. She showed him the dog, cat, and bat. The next day he told her about his fourth year.
"That sucks," Isis said.
"Yaeh well just my luck," said Harry ruefully.
"Well I'll show you two today," and showed him the hawk and snake.
Rose had gone to London for the day so Isis and Harry were on their own for dinner. Isis ordered pizza.
"Is it true you defeated Voldimort when you were one?" asked Isis, she had been wondering for a while, "we were told so in history class."
"Yaeh my mother's love from when she died for me protected me. That's why I have to live with my aunt. Blood protection," he answered. "Why do you live with Ro?"
"My mom made her my godmother. They were really close when they were younger even though they were nine years apart in age. My mom's boyfriend was possessed by Voldimort. I hid behind the couch when he came in with his wand pointed at my mom. He said, "where is she, I need her dead or I shall never win, where is she." He heard my behind the couch sniffling, mom threw herself between us and yelled at him, "you will never get her I won't let you if the prophecy says she will assist then nothing you can do about it. It's destiny, you'll have to kill me first to get to her, and we all know what will happen then, don't we? The same thing that happened in England. She will be strong stronger than you would ever have the ambition to be. I'll die for her before you get her." He avadra kadavrad my mom she fell lifeless to the floor and then went for me. I was five. I turned my back, covered my head with my arms and cried. Just before he said the curse he said, "I can change this prophecy even if I couldn't change the other." The spell hit between my shoulder blades and bounced back at him. I found out it was Voldimort latter. The Police came and that's the end. I found out the prophecy from Ro when I asked at ten." She sighed sadly.
"you remember all that from when you were five," Harry said astonished.
"Yup."
"Does anyone know?"
"The US government knows, it's classified, top secret no one knows except the people who do the filing and worked on the case. They tried any ways, it didn't work. Like kids in Europe grew up on stories of Harry Potter, the US kids grew up on mine."
"so you remember everything?"
"I have a photographic memory. I remember every detail. It was 7:13 am, the green bird feeder had two sparrows sitting on outside the bay window that looked into the backyard, it eating until the first flash of green. Mom had on a purple sundress with a whit belt on and her white flip flops, we were going to the beach. The couch was red and the walls had mahogany paneling and the carpet was navy blue there was a coffee table in the middle of the room and two chairs at either end. The TV was in the cabinets but the left side door was slightly open. I wore a blue sundress that matched mom's. I remember mom's hair went down to her but and was wavy and lavender colored."
"Lavender?"
"It's part of my family's magical inheritance your bangs turn on your eighteenth birthday and the rest on your twenty-first birthday."
"Weird," said Harry. "I'm sorry about your mom."
"it's not your fault," Isis said cheerfully, "when was your last eye exam?"
Harry looked puzzled, "I think I was about six."
"Have you ever thought about contacts?"
"Not really."
"How about this as a belated birthday present. I get you contacts or you could have Lasik eye surgery."
"No that's ok."
"Nonsense, get in the car , Ro took me to the optometrist earlier this summer. We can go to him, Dr. Ducky."
Isis drove to the doctors, "Hello Isis," said the receptionist, "any problems?"
"Nope, but my friend Harry here needs his eyes checked. Do you have an opening?"
"Actually, we do. Go right into exam room two."
"Thank you," said Isis as she pulled harry into the room.
Ten minutes later a man in a white coat came in that reminded him of Olivlander.
"Miss Black, nice to see you again. How are your colored contacts, and who is this young man?" he asked her.
"Dr. Ducky this is Harry Potter and he needs his eyes checked. I'm getting him contacts for his birthday."
"Ok Mr. Potter let's get started."
An hour latter Harry was done and found that his vision had gotten slightly worse. He got a two new sets of glasses one that were more oval and wire frame and a pair that looked exactly like his old ones, so his relatives couldn't tell he had gotten new ones. Isis had talked him into getting clear contacts and dark blue ones.
"Thanks Ice."
"No prob," she said, "so we'll see you at dinner."
Latter that Night
Ro was talking Petunia and Vernon while Isis whooped Dudley at Halo while watched.
"It's so sweet how our Duddykins and Isis get along so well," said Petunia serving Ro tea.
"Yaeh," said Ro skeptically. Though no one picked up on it.
"A good match don't you think," said Vernon, "perhaps they should go out."
The Dursley's had taken an instant liking to Isis.
"She has a boyfriend," said Ro, "a very sweet boy, in the US. They've been friends since they were five. He calls quite a bit.
"Well too bad," said Vernon disappointed.
"When does she leave for school?" asked Petunia.
"Tomorrow, I have to take her to Kings Cross Station to catch a train to the country," said Ro.
"Really," said Vernon, "The boy has to go there too."
"Yes," agreed Petunia, "Perhaps you could drive him as well."
"Sure no problem he's a sweet kid."
"Sweet?" said Vernon incredulously, "that boy is nothing but a trouble maker. You should make sure that he hasn't stolen anything while he has worked for you."
"He hasn't given me any reason to distrust him. Innocent until proven guilty. I'll drive him either way," said Ro 'weird people' she thought 'they seem to really dislike him, wonder why?"
"Thank you," said Petunia, "sorry for the inconvenience."
Isis and Harry started talking when Dudley went to the kitchen for snacks.
"How are you getting to the train tomorrow?" asked Harry.
"Ro's ganna drive me," said Isis.
"I'm supposed to have a guard take me," said Harry, "or at least watch as my uncle drive me. I feel like an idiot. We leave at nine thirty."
"I'll pick you up at eight ok we can go to Dunkies."
"What's Dunkies?" Harry asked.
"Dunkin Donuts. It's a place where you get breakfast and stuff."
"Ok," he said, "I'm going to get one hell of a talk for not waiting for them."
"Remember what we talked about?" said Isis, "this is your life don't let anyone run it for you. If you have to destroy Voldie then do it on your terms."
"Yaeh I remember. What was that quote that Ro said when she was eavesdropping, "the cruelest of acts are preformed with the best of intentions."
"Yup that's it."
Isis and Ro left shortly after that.
