Chapter 2: Katelyn Black
It had been a few days since Dudley's birthday. Harry had completely forgotten about the dream. He was washing dishes when Dudley came into the room. Aunt Petunia was looking out the window watching the neighbors. Uncle Vernon was reading his news paper. "Bye, mom and dad," Dudley said, "I have to go pick up Katelyn. We're going to the movies. I'll be back sometime." He headed towards the door.
"Wait," said Aunt Petunia. Dudley stopped. "Who is this Katelyn?"
"Her last name is Black." Dudley said, "She is new in town. She moved in on my birthday. She is going to a privet girl's school here in town."
"Bring her over here after you get done at the movies." Aunt Petunia ordered, "I want to meet her."
"Whatever," said Dudley, rolling his eyes. Aunt Petunia kissed him on the forehead. Then Dudley left.
Harry went on washing the dishes. After he finished the dishes he had to wash the floor. Finally he was allowed to go. Harry went for a walk. He had no particular destination. He just wanted to get out of the house. He had his wand in his back pocket. He always carried it around. He felt helpless with out it, especially now that Voldemort was back. He thought of Katelyn. She must be having a horrible time. Who would want to go out with a pig like Dudley. Then something hit him. Did Dudley say her last name was "Black"? Could she be some relation to his godfather? No, he thought, Sirius was the last of the Black's. Besides, if she was related to him, surly she would be going to Hogwarts or another Wizarding and Witchcraft school.
Harry found himself in the park. He sat down on a swing and began to think, once again about all the events that happened last year. He sat there for a long time before he could hear a group of people coming. He recognized the boy's voice, who did most of the talking. It was his cousin Dudley.
"I am the most popular boy in school," Dudley was saying, "I can introduce you to so many people. Did I tell you that I am the wrestling champion?"
"Mmhhmm," said a very bored sounding girl.
Harry could see them now. Dudley was surrounded by his normal friends that hanged around him. He had his arm around Katelyn. The look on Katelyn's face said, "Somebody help me! Please!"
Harry couldn't help but let out a quiet laugh. He had been right. Katelyn spotted him. She waved and smiled.
"Don't worry about him," Dudley said, "you do not want to hang around with him. He is my cousin, unfortunately. His parents got killed in a car crash when I was little." Dudley smirked, "He's been living with us for as long as I can remember. His dad was a good for nothing. No matter how hard Mom and Dad tried they could not cure him. They are sending him to St. Brutus's Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys." Dudley laughed.
Harry just rolled his eyes. "That's what YOU want them to think." thought Harry.
Katelyn had a shocked expression on her face.
Harry got up and started to head home. When he arrived he went straight to his room. After a while he heard the front door open and close. "Mom, we're home," yelled Dudley.
"Oh! You must be Katelyn!" Harry heard Aunt Petunia say, "Dudley has told us so much about you. So where did you move from?"
"We lived in London last, but we have moved a lot," answered Katelyn.
"Oh," said Aunt Petunia, "Do you happen to be any relation to that criminal Black? Oh, what was his first name? Now I remember, Sirius."
"Nice one," thought Harry.
"No," said Katelyn sounding a bit nervous.
"Oh," said Aunt Petunia, "I just must meet your mom and dad."
"I do not have a dad," said Katelyn, "but I am sure mom would love to meet you."
"Great," said Aunt Petunia, "you must be getting tired after your date. Dudley you can walk her home."
"That's OK," said Katelyn, "I can walk myself home. Bye." Harry heard the door open and close.
"She seems nice," Aunt Petunia said, "too bad she doesn't have a father."
"I think our little Dudley found a really pretty girlfriend," said Uncle Vernon.
"Yes, and I am keeping her until a prettier one comes along," said Dudley.
"What an egotistical idiot," thought Harry, "It was obvious she does not like you." Thank you, orligurl88, for reviewing. I am glad you liked it. Please review!
