Life is a merry of round of surprises

Chapter 2

Disclaimer:  I own zip, nada, and zilch apart from my guineapigs but we won't go into that.

The day my life changed for the better or worst, you have to look at in different ways was basically usual apart from the fact that it was Dudley's 15th birthday.  I'd spent since 4 in the morning making sure all of his 30 birthday presents were perfectly wrapped with coordinating wrapping paper, ribbons and tags.  I looked at the clock it was nine o clock I yelled at Harry to come down stairs, wincing at the fact that my vocal cords would break at how much I had to shout.

He promptly left, in his hand me down clothes all overly large giving him a very scrawny appearance, considering the fact that he played Quidditch that was very surprising.  Yes I did say Quidditch that's the only thing I know about the wizarding world.  My parents dragged me to a Quidditch match with Lily's boyfriend, later husband, James Potter.  It was fun watching all of those people race around on brooms throwing balls around the place absolutely spectacular.

I pretended not to like it and then James called me a wet blanket and as I recall that was the day my eye colour changed from green to blue.  I'd nicked Lily's copy of Quidditch through the ages she spent hours looking for it, it was from her school library, I wonder if she was fined or if they cast any spells on her for it.

How did I find out about Harry playing Quidditch?  Well in the same latter about voldemartisha or whatever he was called.  It talked about Harry being the seeker for the Quidditch team, big surprise for me, him being good at something.  Then again while he's at Hogwarts he probably comes into his own being famous and all.

Just then Dudley came into the room all tranquillity of the day gone, he was now awake.  He ran straight to the fridge, pretty normal.  Normally I would have told him off but I decided to let him off it was his birthday afterall.  "Where's my cake?  I want cake.  Where is it?"

I grimaced I swear I brought him up with some manners, it's that horrible private school he goes to they've got rid of them, all those posh upper-class snobs looking down on him, not that he's hard to see.  "It's there sweetums."  I sad pointing at a apple struddle.

"I don't want this I want the biggest, most humugeous chocolate gateau ever."

"But Dudders darling I couldn't find you one and you said you wanted this."

"This is the worst birthday ever.  I only got thirty presents"

"But Dudley we gave you a 48inch flat TV screen your own Go cart and every thing"

"I want my cake"

I felt a sudden surge of energy in me I'd only felt it once before when aunt Marge was blown up I didn't like Lily being insulted any more then Harry did.

"Fine then"

As I said this a Chocolate Gateau 2 feet by 2 feet formed in the air.

"Have your stupid chocolate Gateau" I glared at Dudley with all the hatred that had been building up against me all these years.

 The cake launched itself at Dudley.  All Dudley could do was stare and it then hit him strait in the face covering him with chocolate icing and chocolate cream and cake.

"HARRY" I screamed it was the only thing I could do, he was the only one magical in the house.  I was used to blaming Harry when anything went wrong.

Vernon walked in to see what the commotion was

"What has he done this-"

He was cut short.  He stared at Dudley mouth wide-open eyes yearly popping out.

"Where is that boy?"

"It was you," Dudley said pointing at me

"Dudley don't talk such nonsense about your mother"

"But"

"No buts.  Where is that boy"?

"HE'S AT MRS FIGGS HOUSE" Dudley yelled.  I stared in wide-eyed shock, how did this happen, this didn't happen to me I looked around hurriedly I had no one to blame this time Harry wasn't there.

A/n yes I am alive still no matter what any one thinks, I've just been having a break after my S.A.T's (which were very easy) and then the world cup has started which means some very early mornings for me as my brother spends the whole time screaming at them.  What a surprise on the day it opened when I heard my brother awake honestly he doesn't usually get up till 3 in the afternoon.

Sparkleygem: confused?  Don't worry you've already read the order of Phoenix so you shouldn't be to confused.

Moodyirishbabe: I can't give you any goddamn socks!  In future write proper reviews they're really not that hard, you stupid dumpling!

Luna Rose / Phoenix Child: yes she is nice under all of that.
