Penelope Clearwater
Vernon, Petunia and Dudley were having a peaceful morning eating breakfast (courtesy of Harry Potter), to celebrate Dudley finishing his fifth year at Smeltings Academy. Once Harry finished cooking breakfast, the Dursleys sent him back upstairs to his room without giving him any form of praise. A knock at the door was heard and Petunia got up to answer it. The Dursley matriarch was greeted by an angry girl with curly blonde hair, and her arms folded across her chest.
"Go be angry somewhere else!" Petunia demanded, rather fiercely.
"You and your family full of pricks are the reason why I'm angry!" the girl retorted. "What kind of people do you call yourselves?"
"Normal." Petunia professed.
"Normal people don't treat others like shit, especially children, you imbecile!" the girl snapped. "You've been treating Harry Potter that way for as long as he can remember."
"Who are you?" asked Petunia, rudeness clearly in her voice.
"Penelope Clearwater, or Penny for short!" the girl replied with contempt dripping from her voice.
"There's no Harry Potter here," said Petunia in a hasty voice. "Now be gone with you."
Petunia slammed the door in Penny's face and went back to her breakfast. It was a minute later when another knock was heard. Vernon growled as he got up to answer the door, only to find that nobody was there (or so it seemed). Penny cast a disillusionment charm on herself before knocking on the door the second time. When Vernon tried slamming the door in anger, Penny pushed the door back with everything she had. The door was rammed into Vernon with such force it knocked him out-cold and resulted in him falling to the floor. Penny stepped on the large walrus of a man before heading upstairs. Petunia walked back into the hallway to see her husband on the floor out-cold, after hearing the door ramming into him. Penny reached Harry's bedroom door and cancelled the charm before gently knocking on it. The raven-haired teen got up from laying on his bed and went to answer the door.
"Penny?!" said Harry in surprise, once he opened the door and found out who was there.
"Are you alright, Harry?" asked Penny with concern, observing him in the overly large rags.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Just been sent up here after cooking breakfast," stated Harry. "They never gave me any praise."
"We'll straighten this out, Harry," assured Penny in a soft voice, as she pulled Harry into a hug. "Those rags are like five sizes too big for you."
"Freaks aren't allowed nice clothes." said Harry in a downhearted voice.
"Let's get those filthy imbeciles dealt with, then we'll look for clothes for you that're your size, okay?" Penny replied.
Harry nodded his head in agreement with Penny, then the two returned downstairs to find a terrified Petunia and Dudley in the living room. Vernon was still out-cold in the hallway, but Harry and Penny 'accidentally' stepped on him. Petunia and Dudley widened their eyes in further fear when Penny glared at them. Vernon regained consciousness, but sat down in an armchair when he also caught Penny's glare. The blonde-haired girl handed a pair of earmuffs to Harry.
"You'll need these, Harry," Penny told him. "I'm pretty loud when it comes to screaming."
Harry politely took the earmuffs and put them on securely, grinning at the same time. The Dursleys felt their limbs losing feeling in horror when Penny glared at them again.
"YOU HAVE SUCH A COWARDLY NERVE TO TREAT HARRY LIKE UTTER SHIT, YOU VILE, ARROGANT PIECES OF BLOODY PRICKS!" Penny screamed as loud as possible, at the now-cowering Dursleys. "YOU PHYSICALLY BEAT HIM FOR NO TRUE REASONS, YOU ALLOW YOUR COWARD OF A SON AND HIS PALS TO BULLY AND BEAT HARRY UP FIVE-ON-ONE, YOU FORBID HARRY FROM HAVING FRIENDS, YOU USE HIM AS A SLAVE, YOU EVEN HAVE THE BLOODY NERVE TO CALL HIM DEGRADING NAMES LIKE FREAK, AND YOU EVEN GIVE HARRY YOUR SON'S OLD CLOTHES WHICH ARE SEVERAL SIZES TOO BIG."
"Freaks are too expensive." Vernon remarked, arrogance in his voice.
"OH, NO HARRY ISN'T!" Penny screamed at the adult Dursleys. "YOUR COWARDLY PIG OF A SON WAS, AND STILL IS, THE EXPENSIVE ONE. YOU JUST REFUSED TO SPEND ANY MONEY ON HARRY, NOT EVEN A PENCE. YOU'D JUST SPEND IT ALL ON YOURSELVES AND ON THE PIG THE MOST. IN SPITE OF ALL THE CHORES YOU FORCED HARRY TO DO, YOU NEVER GIVE HIM ANYTHING IN RETURN. NOW YOU MUST SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES."
"Yes," Harry told his so-called relatives. "Penny was one of the few who listened to me when I told her all about my shit life here. There's no going back."
Harry whipped his wand out (as did Penny) and the two began casting some spells. Everyone in the living room was engulfed in some kind of vortex and when it stopped, they were in some kind of zoo in the wizarding world. Then Harry and Penny cast some more spells that transformed the Dursleys into animals they closely resembled. Vernon was turned into a walrus (as a demonstration to show how difficult he had moving around due to his obesity), Petunia into a horse (a black mare to represent her being black-hearted), and Dudley into a pig (more specifically, a hog to represent his gluttony and greed for junk food). Then the Dursley animals were put in exhibit pens, much to their humiliation. Just then, Albus Dumbledore showed up in bewilderment.
"Harry my boy! What're you and Miss Clearwater doing?" asked Dumbledore.
"Taking care of personal business, professor," Harry informed his headmaster, contempt dripping from his voice. "Now if you'll excuse us…"
"Now, Harry," Dumbledore tried kissing up to Harry. "Let's not be irrational. You were safe with your family."
"I never considered the Dursleys family!" snapped Harry. "And I never will!"
"That's right, ole coot!" Penny sneered at her former headmaster. "You left poor Harry to suffer abusive treatment from those filthy muggles, and you continued to send him back despite the obvious that he was never safe with them. You never did a thing to get Harry out of that environment. You're lucky he didn't turn into a psychopath, but you must reap what you've sown."
Albus tried to cancel the charms placed on the Dursleys, only to get overpowered by Harry and Penny. They used the same spell on the Dursleys to turn the ole coot into a goat and banished Albus the goat into an exhibit, much to the headmaster's shock. Penny picked up the elder wand and put it away before she and Harry apparated to her apartment.
"How would you like to join me in my jacuzzi tub, Harry?" Penny offered.
"I'd love to, Penny," said Harry with delight, accepting the offer. "Teaching those filthy people a lesson was pretty exhausting."
Penny started leading Harry over to where her jacuzzi was. They went into seperate changing rooms to change into swimwear. Harry was in green swim shorts and when he stepped out, he saw that Penny was in a purple bikini. The two began walking into the hot tub water and found spots to sit next to each other. Penny wrapped her arms around Harry in a hug and he returned it when he felt the warmth flow through his body. As for Albus, Vernon, Petunia and Dudley, being in their animal forms attracted unwanted attention from countless wizarding children. The four who did Harry wrong never felt as humiliated as they were now, and it appeared that they would be spending the rest of their days in their animal forms. Things in both worlds were starting to look up, now that Harry had someone looking out for him and away from negative influences.
