Karone-sakura: Oh well I guess I'll have to make this chapter even more awesome then the last! Oh and Harry its your turn to do the disclaimer!
Harry: Karone-sakura does NOT own me or anything that is of the Harry Potter books. She only owns the plot and Myeisha.
Karone-sakura: Thank you Harry. Please R&R! I'll give you a cookie! Now on with the story!
Summary: Myeisha is girl from our world who is mistreated. Not knowing that she can do magic she accidently wishes she could leave her world. Is the next one any better? Will she survive Harry Potter's world of witchcraft and wizardry?
Chapter 5: letters, Letters, and Guess what! More LETTERS!
Harry and I were only aloud to go to the bathroom and that was it. No stretching our legs outside... we didn't even have to do housework! I sat on the desk looking out the window as Harry lay sleeping. That's what we did for that one long week. Harry slept so he could recover his strength and I sat on the desk staring out the window.
After the week finally ended Harry and I lost so much weight that my clothes looked like they really belonged to Dudley. Harry was swimming in his clothes and more often then not he had to roll up something or pin it. That morning after we were released from our prison I went down and made breakfast. Without the Dursley family knowing what I was doing I gave Harry a full breakfast. Even then he didn't eat it all so I finished it for him. After breakfast I started on my chores.
At lunch we all sat at the table once again. When the post arrived on this particular day everything changed for the worst. Harry went to get the mail as always. I came with him to see if I had gotten anything from my "family". When I saw the Hogwarts letter I knew what was to come and I wasn't exactly happy.
"You got a letter Harry! Hurry and open it before Vernon finds it!" I whispered to him as we walked toward the kitchen.
"Mum! Dad! Harry's got a letter!" Dudley squealed excitedly.
"To late..." Muttered Harry.
"Let me see that boy! Who in there right mind would be writing to you?" He angrily grabbed the letter from Harry's hands.
He looked at the seal and turned as pale as a ghost. He showed it to his wife who turned equally white. I watched them with great interest that I supposed a regular muggle would have shown them. I am wondering what they are going to do about the letter. Throw it away? Let him have it? Or some other mean way of showing Harry that it couldn't possibly be his. Vernon chose to destroy it in the fire place in front of Harry. I can feel my anger boiling under my calm, cool and collected mask.
The next day three more letters came and Vernon them threw them away immediately. Soon the post followed a pattern of Vernon burning them and them tripling everyday. Soon it was Sunday and Vernon was going quite mad at the time. You see as the letter came in large numbers so did the owls outside. Once they dropped the letter they would sit in a tree or any other space that was left.
Vernon was beyond mad and since it was Sunday he thought there would be no bloody letters. How wrong he was because just after someone said something about not having the post on Sunday's was when hundreds of letters came flying into the house. From the fire place to the slot on the door to windows that seemed to open themselves. Soon we were swimming in letters all addressed to Harry Potter. I grabbed one when no one was looking and hid it from view. By this time Vernon had completely lost it. He told everyone to pack up that night and that they would be leaving for the rest of the holiday that is in a few hours after he made all the arrangements to leave the house for awhile..
"Why are we leaving again?" I asked for the millionth time that night.
"Its because our nephew is a freak!" Petunia screeched.
"I don't understand!" I cried just to annoy them.
"You don't have to understand. Now finish packing were leaving soon." Petunia snapped.
"But I'm done already." I say with a slight smirk on my face.
"Then go help the boy or something. Just stay out of the way." Petunia snarled.
"Yes ma'am." I say with a smile as I skip away from her.
"Hey Harry there is something I want to show you." I told him as soon as I entered our room.
Besides our birthday's being the next day I wanted to make sure he got the Hogwarts letter before Hagrid came. As good a fellow as he is I want to make sure Harry knew that this world is not black and white. I wanted to make sure he knew there was a grey side too. I also want him to start training and studying before we entered the school. I know far to much to just sit around and watch as the events unfolded themselves in front of me. I know its not my purpose to just sit back and watch. I was brought here for a reason. I know that wishing alone could not have brought me here. There is something that has to be changed. What? I don't know.
"What is it Myeisha?" He asked as he stopped his packing.
"I was able to grab one of the letters for you. Here!" I thrust it into his hands.
"Thank you!" He smiled as he opened it.
I watched his face as it turned from confusion to horror to disbelief. I continued to watch him as he sank onto his bed. I immediately sat down beside him. I am of course very curious and then again I am also concerned for him and yet I am very happy that I can finally tell him about the manipulative Dumbledore.
"Are you okay Harry? What does it say?" I ask gently.
"It says I'm a wizard and that I am to attend a school called Hogwarts this year..." He trailed off as if he was unsure if I would laugh at him or not.
"Harry you are a wizard... A very powerful one... There has been many lies that have been told to you that you need to understand... Your parents did not die because of a car crash... (remember you told me that after the first few days in our mini prison?) Nor were they muggles (non-magical folk). They were good people they were. Protected you even when all hope was lost." I said while I put an arm around him to hug him.
"How do you know all of this?" He asked.
"I am a witch Harry. All wizard's and witch's have heard of you. You are a very famous person but that's not why I befriended you. I am a very famous person as well but lets not get into why I am famous. I think I should explain a few things to you before we leave this house. Because once we do all of our lives will change but for now I am a foreign exchange student. Your aunt always knew you were a wizard... She knows how her sister really died..." I stopped so that he could sort through the things I have told him already.
We still had some time before Vernon would be taking us all away from those "bloody" letters and those owls he keeps ranting about. Harry sat there for a long time thinking over everything that was said. Ten minutes later he looked back at me as though telling me to continue.
"Your parents... James and Lily Potter went to Hogwarts when they were our age. James being a pure-blood (Pure-blood meaning that you had both parents that were magical and it also means that they were probably related. Pure-bloods don't usually like muggles or muggle-borns because it is how they were taught as children.) and Lily being a muggle-born (A muggle-born means that you have one parent who is a muggle and the other being a witch or wizard). Your father was quite the prankster back in his day.
"Any ways your parents hooked up at the end of there sixth year at Hogwarts. At this time a Dark Lord named Voldemort was running around killing people that he thought didn't belong in this world. Mainly meaning muggles and muggle-born's. It was a terrible time back then. After you were born your parents went into hiding along with another couple and there newborn daughter.
"There is a charm where you can make a house unplot-able. Which means no one can find it. The only thing besides the charm you have to have is a Secret Keeper. This makes it where you can tell no one unless you are the Secret Keeper.
"Any ways it was said that Sirius Black was your parents Secret Keeper. He was best friends with your father along with Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Sirius however switched with Peter in order to fool Voldemort. That was a grave mistake. You see Peter betrayed your parents and the other couple living with them. In Oct. right after you had turned one Peter betrayed them.
"Voldemort came to the house The Potters were staying in and killed James right away. Lil pleaded with him to spare you but it didn't work. So she used her love for you to create a mark in which rebound the killing curse away from you. See he tried to kill you after he killed your mum. He was left as a spirit to wonder the world. That's how you got that scar on your forehead.
"The other couple that was living with Potters shared the same fate except there daughter survived the killing curse as well. Alden and Maria Snow were there. Alden and James fought side by side to protect the ones they loved. They died at Voldemort's hand and Maria was with your mother and did the same thing your mother did to you. So the child lived but she disappeared afterward. No one has seen or heard from her since. Many thought her to be dead. While you were given to these muggles by Dumbledore.
"Sirius Black was and is to this day your Godfather. He has been in Azkeban for these long years. It was said he killed a dozen muggles while trying to kill Peter. Of course it is a lie. Peter faked his own death and killed those muggles. So as you can see Harry you have been out of the loop for a long time." I finally finished my long speech.
"How do you know all of this?" he asked a very simple yet complicated question.
"I am the Heir of the Snow house. The missing child. I only recently found out and by accident really. When I was staring out the window wondering why I was really here when I had flashbacks. At first it scared me and then all my questions were answered. The reason no one could find me was because I sent myself to another world. Another Universe where there is no magic. One where I was hated because I lived and no one really knew why they hated me." I said while looking down and then I got up and started to help him in his packing again.
Harry sat there for a minute before he to got up and soon we were finished and just in time. Then we all got in the car with our stuff. I stared out the window as we drove along. My eyes filled with sadness. Harry knew nothing of what will lie ahead. I feared for him everyday. I knew after giving him this much information will change him forever.
After we got to the tiny island by boat. It was rather creepy looking. We settled in for the night. I got a pile of rags to sleep on and Dudley got a couch and Vernon and Petunia got the only bed. Harry would sleep on the floor tonight. After we arrived I made sure that Harry knew to not tell anyone of his vast knowledge of his past. I told it was dangerous because someone was looking to manipulate him. He understood immediately and didn't question any farther.
I sat on the rag pile that served as my bed for a long time just staring at Harry. When I finally got Harry's attention I patted the seat next to me. He came and sat down and we counted down to our birthday. Once the clock struck 12 there was a pounding on the door. I smirked in the darkness of the room and Harry saw it and instantly knew what was going to happen. A wizard was coming to collect us as I had put it. I had told in our own little language about how I got my letter early.
Hagrid came in and lite a fire at once and looked around for us. I stood up and offered a hand to Harry as we watched with amused expressions as Dudley screamed in fright and how Vernon and Petunia came running down the stairs. Vernon had a shot gun in one hand and Petunia in the other.
"Ello 'arry. Its good ter see ya afer so 'any yers." Hagrid smiled down at Harry.
"I am Myeisha Snow a pleasure I'm sure but how do you know Harry?" I ask as I look him up and down.
"Excuse 'e w'ere are 'y 'aners. I am 'agrid." He said as shook my hand.
"Hi Hagrid. As you know this is Harry Potter. Over there with the shot gun is Vernon Dursley and next to him is his wife Petunia. The boy over there is Dudley Harry's cousin." I made the introductions since it seemed no one would do it otherwise.
"A pleasure I'm sure." Hagrid said with a bright smile.
"What can we do for you Mr. Hagrid?" I asked gently.
"I have come to collect Harry Potter and Myeisha Snow. I am to take them to a hotel and get there school supplies and take them to there proper schools." Hagrid said.
"Harry is not going any where!" Petunia screeched.
"I would like to see a 'uggle like yourself to try and stop 'e." Hagrid roared at them and then turned back to us.
"Oy I 'ave a present for ya 'arry! Its not everyday ya little man turns eleven." Hagrid said as he pulled out a cake.
"I think I 'ay of sat on it a while back but it should still be good." Hagrid beamed.
"Thank you Hagrid." Harry said with a smile.
"Well should we be off then?" He inquired.
"I believe we should go now sir. How are we to travel? By boat? Or maybe a helicopter?"I asked quite amused.
"We will go by flying motorcycle." He said with a widening smile.
Dudley started to eat Harry's cake while we were talking and Hagrid got mad at him. He aimed his umbrella at Dudley's behind and gave him a nice pigs tail. I was laughing so hard I was on the ground. Hagrid whispered to us telling us not to mention it anyone because he is not allowed to do magic outside of Hogwarts. We departed soon after. Harry fell sleep sometime during our journey. Up there in the clouds I felt free for the first time ever. I knew dark days were coming but I have comfort knowing that for now everything was going to be fine...
(A/N It took me longer then I had planned to put this up! Please forgive me! I made it a little longer!
