Chapter 2- The Muggle in Disguise

Harry went into his room and sat on his bed. He couldn't believe he had just been that rude to a pretty girl over something so little. He felt like he should go apologize but when he opened the door he saw Dudley trying to pick the bathroom door lock. Harry heard the shower running inside, boy was Dudley desperate.

"Hey Dudley what do you think you are doing? She's only been here about ten minutes, moving things a bit fast, aren't you?" Harry taunted.

"You're just jealous that she likes me better than you" Dudley retorted back.

Harry just rolled his eyes and walked away leaving Dudley attempting to get something he could never have.

Harry walked down the stairs thinking of how interesting tonight's dinner would be.

Harry, Aunt Petunia, and Uncle Vernon were already at the table when Dudley came down, followed by a dishevelled Elisia.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked Elisia when she took a seat next to him.

"Dudley here was just expressing to me how desperate he is to get a girl".

"Excuse me, my Diddykins can get any girl he wants, he's so handsome" shot back Aunt Petunia.

"Not this girl, he was trying to break into the bathroom while I was showering." Elisia said angrily glaring at Harry's aunt.

"Didn't you know there's a drought girl" yelled Uncle Vernon sticking up for his son.

"You don't seem to mind, you're out there cleaning the car, watering the lawn, and taking 30 minute showers everyday." Harry said in defence for Elisia.

"I've had enough of all of you! You've all been so rude to Elisia for no reason. For goodness sakes it's only her first night." Harry yelled angrily. "I'm leaving I'll be back later"

"I'll join you Harry" Elisia said getting up from the table and taking a glance back at her foster family.

"Thanks for sticking up for me Harry." Said Elisia appreciatively "It must be terrible living with those people all the time."

"Well if it wasn't for my school I think I would kill myself," said Harry.

"What do you mean?" asked Elisia

"I attend a boarding school," answered Harry.

"I know. I mean yea I do to" she said. Hopefully Harry hadn't noticed what she had said.

"Oh really that's cool. I guess we're more a like then we thought" said Harry smiling at her.

"Yeah" she said smiling back at him. "More than you know Harry Potter". She said under her breath.

"What was that? I didn't catch the last bit," Harry said.

"Oh nothing"

Harry couldn't help but feel like there was something she wasn't telling him.

"So whom do you live with in America?" Harry asked.

"Well actually since I go to boarding school I just attend different exchange programs each summer, I'm not sure if I even have a family."

Harry couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

"I do know I have a godfather though, but I don't think you can call him family" Elisia said.

"Yes you can" Harry said quietly. She just had to bring up the godfather; she had been keeping his mind off Sirius until now.

Elisia noticed something was wrong with Harry.

"Harry what's wrong?" Elisia asked tentatively.

"My godfather died just a month ago. He was like a father to me." Harry said.

"Oh Sirius? Er I mean seriously?" she said quickly.

Harry nodded. He was too caught up with this rush of sadness to catch what she had said.

"It's getting a bit dark don't you think?" Elisia said changing the subject.

"Oh, I guess we should be heading back," said Harry

"No, there's no need for that. You see Harry Potter, I am just like you." With that she reached into her jacket and pulled out a wand.

"Lumos," she said.

Harry was shocked, too shocked to do anything but laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" Elisia asked.

"This is just so ironic, you're suppose to be a muggle but I guess your not. Oh, and my Aunt and Uncle are going to literally die if they find out." Harry said.

At this Elisia started laughing along with Harry.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" asked Harry, now serious.

"So I think we should head back now...we don't want your aunt and uncle to worry" she said ignoring Harry's question.

With that she got up and started walking back to number 4 Privet Drive. Harry could do nothing but follow her.
