Have you see the little piggies
crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt
to play around in
Have you see the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts
to play around in
A day had passed and Harry was almost at the Canadian airport, 10 minutes away from his new home. The friendly lady who had brought him on the plane turned out to be the nanny of his new family. Harry guessed that the family must be rich.
The nanny's name was Bunny and she was very friendly and sweet. She had curly dark brown hair that just passed he shoulders and friendly pale blue eyes, frightingly similar to Sirius'.
"Bunny, what is the family's last name?" Harry asked.
"DeSena. They're Italian obviously. And very proud of it if you ask me. They're always speaking Italian to each other, I can't understand a thing!"
"Do they have any kids?"
"They have a son named Francesco. He's about your age."
"Cool"
"So you're a wizard? I find it really cool! I never believed in witches or wizards until that Fudge dude magically appeared at the DeSena's after we decided to adopt you. It was really freaky when he showed us some tricks"
"I don't know any magic yet, we're not allowed to do it at my age. But some children have to"
"What do you mean"
"Some children are born werewolves or are bitten at a young age and are forced to transform at the full moon. They lose their minds completely and attack everyone they can get to. If they don't have any humans to attack they attack themselves instead"
"Aren't you afraid of them? I would be"
"I don't know, I've never met a werewolf before. But I probably wouldn't be afraid. My godfather is an animagus though"
"What's an animagus?"
"It means you can turn into a certain animal. Sirius could turn into a big black dog. And my father was able to turn into a stag. When I grow up I wanna be an animagus, I'll probably be a stag"
"Wizard are lucky, I wish I was one"
The two became silent. Suddenly all of Harry's insides seemed to be plunging downward and his head started spinning. The plane landed and jerked to a stop. They were there.
Bunny took Harry's hand and led him out of the plane. Standing outside was a family. The mother had long straight black hair and brown eyes and the father had short brown hair and blue eyes. The boy, who Harry guessed was Francesco had black hair and blue eyes.
"Oh my God, he's so cute!" cried Mrs. DeSena.
She ran up to Harry and pulled him into a hug. Mr. DeSena did the same.
Harry decided that he liked these people, they were really nice. Francesco ran up to Harry and pulled him away from Mr. and Mrs. DeSena.
"You must be Harry, I'm Francesco" he said with a heavy Italian accent.
"Nice to meet you"
"You're gonna have so much fun with us! We have maids and butlers that do everything for us and we have everything that you could ever want"
"I can't wait to get to know you"
"We're gonna teach you how to speak Italian, and we can become best friends and you can tell me all about witches and wizards"
"Francesco, Harry, veni quoi!" yelled Mrs. DeSena
"That means come here. I guess we have to go" said Francesco
Bunny grabbed Harry's suitcase and they went to the DeSena's limousine. Harry had never been in any type of car before.
"I've never been in a car before" Harry said as the began to drive away
"Really? Never?" asked Francesco
"No. My godfather had a car but I never went in it. I used a broom instead"
The DeSena's looked really impressed.
"Mr. DeSena, where do you live?"
"About fifteen minutes away from here" he said
"And please, call us Mom and Dad, we're your parents now" added Mrs. DeSena
"Okay…Mom"
Harry wondered why Sirius never asked him to him Dad or Daddy.
Fifteen minutes later they pulled into a large driveway leading to a huge purple mansion. It was the biggest house Harry had ever seen. When they entered the mansion a man in a fancy black suit took their coats and a woman wearing a frilly black dress took Harry's suitcases.
"Harry, let me show you your new room!" said Francesco
Francesco led them to a huge room painted blue and yellow. In the room was a king sized bed with yellow covers, a large desk, two night tables with lamps on them, two couches, two arm chairs, a bookshelf, and a huge closet.
On the desks there were notebooks, pencils, pens, lamp, and a computer. The book shelves were filled with books, there were stuffed animals covering his bed and all sorts of toys all over the floor. Harry also noted the radio on top of the bookshelf, he loved music.
Harry opened the door to his closet, it was huge! It was twice the size of his old room at Sirius' and there were already tons and tons of clothes, board games and a TV set with a videogame system attached to it.
"So, do you like it?" asked Francesco
"This is the best room in the world!" Harry said as he pulled Francesco into a hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is so cool!"
"There's more"
Harry noticed that there was a door leading to a staircase in back of the TV set. Francesco opened the door and motioned for Harry to follow him in. They climbed up the stairs and found themselves in a room full of bookshelves.
"This is your own personal library"
Harry's jaw dropped, eyes wide.
"And now for the next room"
Francesco led Harry to a door in the back of the library. In the next room was a room full of even more toys and board games.
"And this is your playroom, you can bring your TV set up here when you want to watch it. Anyway, there is a door in your room, near your desk. That leads to my room."
Harry was shocked. This was all for him.
"I have to go thank Mom and Dad!" Harry cried
Harry loved the feeling he got whenever he said Mom or Dad.
Harry and Francesco went back downstairs into the living room where Mr. and Mrs. DeSena were sitting. Harry pulled them both into a hug.
"Thank you so much Mom and Dad!"
Harry loved it here, this was his new family. However, nobody could ever replace Sirius.
In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a darn good whacking
Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives
to eat their bacon

Disclaimer: Yeah, this was a bad chapter. But at least Harry is happy. The DeSenas wont play a big part in this story, they'll just be kind of like the Dursleys, not a big part. Thank you!
