The New Neighbor
Chapter 1
I stared at the driveway next to the Dursley's, unable to believe what I was seeing. A sleek black racing bike was parked in the center of the driveway, a helmet hanging off of one of the handles. I could practically hear my Uncle making ranting about lunatics moving in beside us.
I sighed and went back to watering the flowers in my aunt's garden. It had been nearly two weeks since I had returned from Hogwarts and I had yet to actually see the new neighbor(s), and that was because today was the first day I had been allowed of the cupboard under the stairs for longer than ten minutes.
Because I was a wizard, the Dursley's were scared of me. They were afraid I would turn around and attack them with my powers in the middle of the night. But as much as I would love to cast a few harmless spells on them, I couldn't. Underage magic was restricted and if I were to even perform a simple levitation spell the Ministry would be at the house and have my wand snapped quicker than I could say 'Quidditch'.
Despite this, they still believed that something would happen to them. So to ease their fears, they locked me up and starved me for 90 percent of summer vacation. To make sure that I didn't retaliate, they forced me to work on everything so I would be too exhausted to.
As I worked through the hot summer day, stopping only once to rest and drink from the hose, I began to get the feeling that someone was watching me. I shook it off the best I could and grimaced when Dudley came out of the house, his fat moving like waves.
"We're going out to eat. You'll eat when we get back if you get your chores out here done." He relayed. I nodded grumpily and he pushed me back into a puddle of mud. He laughed before turning and tromping back to the house. Seconds later, the front door slammed, a car started, and they pulled out of the driveway.
"Wonderful." I muttered. My stomach growled as if in agreement and I collapsed under a tree. "Just wonderful." Deciding to take this time off to rest, I closed my eyes. I must have drifted off because the next thing I knew a shadow had fallen across me and I found myself blinking up at an unfamiliar figure.
"I thought for sure they'd take you with them." Came a slightly familiar drawl. I scrambled up in shock.
"SNAPE?!?

Yeah, I know. It took me forever to get this out. But hey, my computer broke down and I'm borrowing this one. Mine'll be back up and running soon, I hope. Anyway, please review!
One more thing....what would u like? Shorter chapters but more updates, or longer chappies and less updates
