Sue Li
The Dursleys were heading for the dining table to wait for 'the freak' to cook them some lunch. It was a warn late morning of June 25, 1994, and Dudley's diet was still having barely mixed results even when Petunia insisted that everyone follow the diet to make her son feel better about it. That was because Dudley reached the size and weight of a young killer whale (around 375 lbs). Petunia screamed for 'the freak' to get downstairs and prepare some grapefruit and celery before joining her husband and son at the table. There were sounds of two pairs of feet jogging down the stairs, much to the Dursleys' confusion. That was when Harry entered the kitchen with a petite asian girl with brown hair at mid-back length and brown eyes. She was wearing a purple short-sleeve t-shirt, white jeans, and white sneakers. Vernon began turning purple in the face with anger while Dudley remained confused and Petunia was shocked to see a visitor.
"Boy!" Vernon growled at Harry. "What's the meaning of this girl here?"
"Don't ask questions!" snapped Harry, giving his relatives the same bogus rule they gave him.
"I'm Sue Li," the girl introduced herself. "A Ravenclaw student in Harry's year at Hogwarts. I'm here to inform you three that your days of treating Harry like shit is over."
"H-How did... did you meet the boy?!" asked Petunia, still shocked over Sue's unexpected presence.
"One weekend at our school's library before the Christmas holidays," Sue explained. "I was having trouble trying to reach for a book because I'm only four foot nine and Harry had an easier chance of getting the book I was looking for. We even started spending more time together. Even with the lack of guardian permission to visit Hogsmeade, Harry and I managed to find ways around that by looking for alternate ways."
"How did you get here without us knowing?" Vernon demanded.
"That's for me and Sue to know and for you to never find out," Harry retorted. "And like you and Petunia have always told me: don't ask questions."
"If you hated Harry so much, why'd you keep him here?" asked Sue, outraged that the muggles still kept Harry around.
"That Dumbledore guy said so," Petunia asserted. "He said that he cast some kind of bond of blood charm to ensure the boy's safety as long as we take him in willingly would the charms work."
"You really think it's wise to just take our headmaster's word for it?" Sue lectured. "Just because he said so doesn't mean he's being truthful."
"Yes," Harry told his relatives. "Dumbledore always expects people to believe and take his word for it when he says that he did or did not do something. He doesn't even bother to provide any proof of such. He just likes to go with his 'Dumbledore knows best' attitude and forces people to do things or go against their beliefs and doesn't take no for an answer. I know that he has some kind of plan for me and yet, he never asked me if I wanted to be a pawn in it. He forced me to do it and manipulated me to the best of his damn abilities. He won't even tell me what he has in store for me, instead he just says he'll tell me when I'm older, effectively treating me like a five-year-old despite having to grow up much faster than the average child."
"We would say that it's time for you to get your long-overdue punishment," said Sue slyly. "But you can get out of it if you go into the guest room, there's a surprise there for you three."
Intrigued, the Dursleys got up and made a mas dash over to the guest room, with Harry and Sue smirking once it was just them in the dining room. Then they followed Harry's relatives by tiptoeing their way up the stairs. They made it in time to see Dudley walking through the door, which locked itself and made the Dursleys scream. Once it faded out, Harry and Sue went into Harry's room to get his stuff packed. He had all of his stuff in his room because the Dursleys fear that Sirius would kill them if they treated Harry like trash (Harry neglected to inform them that his godfather was innocent and not a murderer at all, since he felt it was a good form of payback until now). After the last of his stuff was packed, Harry and Sue shared a kiss on the lips.
"When you get your parents' will read," Sue suggested. "Maybe we can go out into London or something."
"I'd like that," said Harry with a smile, accepting the offer "That way I won't have to deal with the media in our world, and it'll even keep the fangirls and fanboys at bay."
Then Harry called for Dobby to take him and Sue to the Leaky Cauldron, so Harry could rent a room for one night and get his stuff placed in a room before heading to Gringotts. Harry and Sue smirked again as they were amused by the fact that the Dursleys wouldn't have counted on Dobby apparating Sue to Harry's room. Sue grabbed a hold of Hedwig's empty cage before grabbing one of Dobby's hands. Once the teens had a hold on his hands, Dobby apparated them to the Leaky Cauldron so they could get business at Gringotts taken care of. Meanwhile, the Dursleys found themselves in some kind of long tunnel lit with blue-flame torches. Before them were a countless number of humanoid donkeys. Their legs were spread out in the form of a makeshift tunnel.
"You wanna make it to the other end," the donkey at the front of the line told the Dursleys in a mocking voice. "You'll have to get through the tunnel. Otherwise you'll just deal with the fear of the unknown."
Reluctantly, the Dursleys complied and Petunia was the first to go. As she began crawling through the tunnel, she realized that she was getting spankings every time she crawled under a humanoid donkey. As soon as Vernon began crawling through the tunnel, he started experiencing the same thing as Petunia. Dudley also experienced it himself as soon as he started crawling. The Dursleys could tell that there was no indication of an end to the line and the donkeys wouldn't tell them how long it was no matter how many times they begged, as punishment for abusing Harry to the max. For Harry, he no longer had to deal with abusive relatives anymore and was free to start a different life without negative influences. Luck was finally on Harry's side.
The End!
