Chapter 16 : When Harry Met Sally
Vernon Dursley sat waiting in the livingroom for his nephew. Empty bottles f beer and vodka lay spread over the floor. He was too drunk to realise much of what he was doing, though he may have done it even without all the alcohol. When Harry James Potter walked in, Vernon was ready. He picked up a bottle of codka that was half-full He slammed it over Harry's head. Harry, who was very suprised, fell down to the ground. Vernon picked up a pair of handcuffs and cuffed him to the legs of the coffe table. Harry tried to get out, but there was no way without magic. He tried to kick his uncle, but Vernon stepped on Harry's leg which broke under Vernon's weight. Harry screamed with pain, but no one outside of the house heard. No one with in the house could help. Vernon picked up a broken peice of glass and carved the word "useless" into Harry's right arm. Vernon took off his belt, and Harry winced. Vernon grinned a wicked smile. He tied it around Harry's neck, but not quite tight enough to kill him. Vernon took this chance to beat Harry with fists first then with the pan from the kitchen.
"There, boy." Vernon whispered. "I wont kill you tonight. Tomorrow, perhaps."
Vernon staggered out of the room leaving Harry handcuffed to the coffe table, staring angrily at the wall. He couldn't cry. He didn't cry anymore. He never did cry. It showed weakness. And even if Harry was weak and powerless, he knew he could never show it.
#3 PRIVET DRIVE
The widowed Mr. Steven Olive and his daughter Sally moved into #3 Privet Drive that day. Mr. olive walked around like a zombie. He didn't talk, he showed no emotion, he was pale, and he looked as if he were under some sort of trance. Sally Olive however was a bright young girl who looked nothing like her father who had dark hair and eyes. She had reddish-blonde hair and sea-green eyes. She was fifteen years old and from Texas. She had the accent and all and reminded some people on Privet Drive of Daisy Duke.
"Well, papa, can I go ahead and see the neighbors?" Sally asked when she and her father were in the yard and the neighbors were whaching nosily.
"Okay." Steven said in a dead-like voice. No accent there. Just a deep, dead tone. Sally gave him a kiss on the cheek before heading straight over to #4.
Harry answered the door. "Yes?"
"Hey, i'm Sally Sue Olive from next door! Me and my daddy just moved here from Texas an' I wanted to come an' see the neighbors!" Sally said. "How're you?"
"Harry Potter." Harry replied.
"Who is it, boy?" Vernon barked.
"New girl." Harry told him.
"Invite her in then!" Vernon snapped.
Harry sighed. "You you like to come in?"
"Why I would just love to!" Sally exclaimed too brightly. Harry stepped aside and she skipped in. Dudley gaped at her. He had never had a girlfriend, but he sure loved girls.
"I'm Dudley Dursley." Dudley said trying to act charming.
"Charmed, I'm sure." Sally said looking revolted. "I'm Sally Sue Olive from next door."
Dudley took Sally's perfectly manicured hand and placed a big, wet kiss on it. Sally pulled her hand away as Vernon and Petunia walked in. Vernon looked merry and Petunia looked very down in the dumps.
"I'm Vernon Dursley, this is my wife, Petunia." Vernon glared at Petunia.
"Hello, welcome to out lovely home, Miss Olive." Petunia mumbled.
"Nice to meet ya!" Sally said.
"Boy, go make some tea!" Vernon barked.
"Yes, your royal highness sir!" Harry said walking into the kitchen. That seemed to please Vernon for he said nothing. When Harry was alone he muttered, "A royal pain in the ass."
"DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?"
"No!" Harry lied. He fixed up some tea and brought it into the livingroom. Vernon sat on the couch grinning like crazy with his arm around Petunia who was staring at her hands in her lap. Dudley sas sitting by Sally making googley eyes at her. Harry set down the tea and went to leave.
"Boy! Stay!" Vernon said.
"Okay." Harry muttered. He took a seat on the chair farthest from Vernon and Petunia.
The time seemed to drag by slowly. Finaly the phone rang, and Harry was sent to answer it. "Hello?"
"Harry." said Paige's voice. "It's me. He's sending us to Rome."
"What?" Harry shreiked. "Why?"
"No clue. Draco and David are suposed to fill me in." Paige said. "Anyway, I gotta go. I'll call you when I get there."
" 'Kay, bye." Harry said. He hung up and sighed. He was trapped. There would be no way out. There was nothing he could do.
"Harry." said a seductive, feminen voice. He turned to see Sally smiling at him. "How ya been, big boy?"
Harry stared at her with one eyebrow raised. "Excuse me?"
"I want you." Sally whispered. She pushed him against the counter, forcing him to knock over a few of the things on there. She pressed her lips to his, but Harry pushed her off.
"Are you out of your mind?" Harry asked. "You a fucking slut?"
"I'll be whatever you want me to be." Sally said pushing herself against him.
"GET THE FUCK OFF ME BITCH!" Harry pushed her off and ran across the room. Sally cut in front of him and kissed him.
"Ahem."
Harry and Sally broke apart to see Vernon standing there looking extremly angry with Steven Olive. Harry gaped at him. He looked alot like...
"Sally, your father is here to take you home." Vernon said through clenched teeth. Sally nodded and followed Steven out. Harry tried to follow to get a better look at him, but Vernon stopped him. He pulled on Harry's arm and slammed him into the wall. He took out a knife and put it to Harry's throat.
"You tried to take Dudley's girl." Vernon said. "I could kill you."
"Then kill me." Harry said, his green eyes growing colder. Any world was better than this one. Vernon was about to do so when Harry disappeared into thin air.
"WHAT?" Vernon shouted. "Where did the boy go?"
Turns out, on the roof. Harry had done magic and ended up on the roof. This gave him time to think. He knew there was something wrong with Sally. And Voldemort sent Paige to Rome for a reason. Both people knew something. Only Harry was sure they had nothing to do with eachother.
Harry then remembered the graveyard. He knew Steven from there. He just wasnt sure who it was. Every single person there seemed to be a blur. He then whispered the words, "To compha an' dello."
Harry wasnt sure what the effect of these words would be. There was no more magic. But how did he end up on the roof? With his head set? Harry realised he had been in need of his wizarding CD player. His fgavorite CD by the famous Sorcerer group, Playing With Fire. He put the headset on, and looked next door to #3. Sally was sitting in the grass. Her once sea-green eyes were now yellow and cat-like. Those cat eyes met Harry's green ones.
The evil eyes that burn into your soul
Hearts on fire, ice-cold soul
How could perfect be so evil
How could she be so...
-cold
The bitch. That fucking witch.
What she does to you, you'll never know
When those evil eyes burn into your
sooooul.-
She's so seductive in her ways
she thinks she's got you everyday
but your the fighter, the only one
who knows she's
-evil
The bitck. That fucking witch.
What she does to you you'll never know
When those evil eyes burn into your
soooooul-
She thinks she has you
that's the plan
but now you've got her melting in your hand
Why now?
Why her?
Why is there no cure for her?
-evil
the bitch. That fucking witch.
What she does to you you'll never know
When those evil eyes burn into your
sooooooul-
Sally smiled evily as the song evil. Harry had a strange feeling that the Playing With Fire group was talking about her in "Evil Eyes" It was his favorite song, but now, as he bopped his head to the beat, and Sally's evil eyes stared into his, he had a strange cold and dizzy feeling. As if he were empty. Sally looked away, but Harry's eyes stayed on her...
