just a small key to help you guys out with reading this:

I and Harry could already see the crocodile tears forming in the mini whale's eyes as his mother said this. that only spoke pain for me and harry later, dammit I hate that brat. It's not as if I wasn't used to this but i usually to the brunt of Vernon's anger when it came to me and harry I'd like to think I protected harry from most of it but that was almost impossible with how much the Dursleys hated their own nephew.

The brat was whaling now ,the big (almost as fat as him) fake tears falling down his now firetruck red face while his mother was trying to soothe him by telling him that she wouldn't let us freaks ruin her baby's birthday, wow I've never wanted to vomit so badly .

they were practically ignoring the food that harry and I had made, so it made it so much easier to hide some small scraps of toast and bacon in my pocket for later knowing that if this day gets any worse than me and harry might get locked in our cupboard for quite a while.

Not that that would be any different than the usual here at the Dursleys even if we've done nothing. it's off to the cupboard for some more punishment, no food, no water and timed bathroom trips that I'm pretty sure are only so we don't make a mess in their house. In this house if one of us freaks are punished we both are so there have been many times where I can't help but say something and we both get locked up, harry never complains when that happens just tells me stories about how much better our life will be once we leave this place and I can only pray to one day have the same amount of optimism as harry has.

I really hope it gets better, even if it's just for harry's sake.

Apparently I had missed a lot of the conversation while getting lost in my internal monologue about the abuse from our family because Harry's elbow hits me in the side causing a little pain as he hit the bruise that Dudley had given me yesterday.

I winced rubbing my side to relieve the sting "sorry" Harry mumbles to me noticing the wince "it's okay" I told him putting my hand on his "whats going on?" I say as harry takes my hand in his and starts leading me towards the door "we're going to the zoo" he says pulling me slightly now as I drag my heels a little at that statement, this seems like a bad thing waiting to happen.

Let's hope nothing goes wrong, I've never been to the zoo before so this could be fun.

After a little warning to harry and I from harry's uncle not to do anything(like we were going to anyway), we all load into Vernons family-sized company car and are on our way to London zoo and almost straight away Vernon was ranting to petunia about everything but mostly motorbikes were his subject of choice today apparently. I was too busy trying to avoid Dudley and piers constant attempts to elbow me that I almost missed Harry's voice saying "I had a dream about a motorbike …. It was flying ``I stared at my little brother wide-eyed that he would even voice that comment around the Dursleys, did he want to get killed by his uncle.

Sure enough, Vernon turned almost red enough to start a fire and slammed on the brakes almost hitting the car in front of us and causing all of us to get thrown forward from the jerking motion before almost deafening us as he yelled "MOTORBIKES DON'T FLY!".

I was almost certain Harry had a death wish when he replied: "I know they don't, it was just a dream". I shifted in my seat to block Harry from venons glare through the rearview mirror. Hopefully, that comment wouldn't lad us is the cupboard like it usually would. Eventually, we reached the zoo not before I had gained a few more bruises from Dudley and piers though, they were definitely going to hurt tomorrow.

******small time skip*******

So far the day hadn't gone to bad, it might even be classed as a good day, me and Harry had both managed to avoid any more of venons anger as it was mostly directed at any of the zoo workers we had interacted with(i.e the lady at the ice cream truck who had let harry oder an ice lolly before the Dursleys could say no), Dudley and piers were distracted and doted on by petunia but you could tell that they both were getting bored, which did not bode well for me or for harry.

After the Dursleys had finished their lunch the boys wanted to go to the reptile house and Harry and I followed along hoping it wouldn't be dark enough for pires or Dudley to trip us while we weren't looking.

Dudley quickly got bored with the small reptiles and even the big snake when it wouldn't move even when Vernon yelled at it, making me wonder if snakes even could hear because if they couldn't then they were lucky they didn't have to listen to his horrible voice.

Dudley had quickly run off once he realized the snake wasn't going to move to look at some lizard that Pires was pointing at and I suck close to Harry as he continued to watch the snake that had captured his attention.

-I'm sorry about that- Harry said putting his hand to the glass and to my surprise the sake moved and looked right at Harry as it winked, I must be imagining things.

Harry continued to talk to the snake, while the snake gave movement almost in reply to harry's questions (Great so I wasn't imagining it then) I groaned hoping that harry's family was still distracted enough that they wouldn't notice the unorthodox conversation their nephew was having. my hope didn't last long however as I head Pires yell "DUDLEY COME LOOK AT THIS SNAKE! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT IT'S DOING!" Dudley sped over, knocking both me and Harry to the ground as he ran right through us and right into Pires who was knocked right into the enclosure with Dudley falling in right after.

All I could do was stare in shock as the snake dodged the falling bodies of Pires and Dudley and slithered right out after they fell in as if there had been no glass there, to begin with.

I was almost sure that a voice thanking us had come from the snake as it slithered right passed towards the exit of the reptile house screams following in its wake as everyone rushed out of the path of the giant creature,

And the glass that hadn't been there a moment ago when they had fallen in was back trapping Pires and Dudley in the now-empty snake enclosure which I would have found hilarious if it wasn't for the fact I knew this was going to be blamed on us.

I take it back today is most certainly not a good day.

*****time skip******

Once we had gotten back to the Dursley's house after the zoo staff had finally stopped questioning and apologizing I knew we were done for Pires had conveniently let slip that the glass had disappeared and reappeared as if by magic and that Harry had been talking to the snake not moments before, I could almost hear the sound of the lock clicking shut as I knew what was to come.

Dudley and piers had bolted from the car to the front door that petunia was now unlocking without a glance spared at her husband that was dragging harry and me out of the car, harry by his ear which I'm sure was just as painful as the grip venons fat hand now had of my for him none of the neighbors were outside at the minute to witness what I'm sure would be an abuse claim.

He dragged us painfully down the hall of the Dursleys home dropping us to the ground in front of the living room and pointing towards the cupboard as he turned almost purple yelling "GO TO THE CUPBOARD NO MEALS FOR EITHER OF YOU" petunia ran up to him probably trying to soothe his anger but not to help us.

Harry and I shakily went to our cupboard and heard the deadbolts slide across as it sealed our fates. They would have to let us out eventually

(I know this chapter is very close to what happened in the book because it was meant to be that way and probably will be for the next few chapters up until they go to Hogwarts, this chapter was mostly put in to answer a few questions that you might have, yes ria can understand parseltongue I'm not too sure whether she can speak it yet so I'm going to leave that a surprise, the Dursleys are abusive and I'm not going to downplay it like its done in both the books and movies because I'm not going to avoid the topic as ria most certainly wouldn't so be prepared but other than that i hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and as always thank you for reading, I love you guys .love from mc xxxxxxx)
