Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of JK Rowling's characters. Although I definitely wish I did. smiles innocently But in the meanwhile, I do own Megan Dursley. So that should suit me for a while.
Author's Note: Megan is 2 years younger than Harry, a 4th year. Yes. I know Harry is a 7th year now. But this fic was started before I got Half Blood Prince. So it's staying the way it is.
"I still don't understand how you got excepted." Harry said to his younger cousin, Megan. "I mean, no offense to Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia or anything but they are the 2 most anti-wizard people I've ever met!" He said as he packed his trunk. His surrogate godfather, Remus Lupin, had come to take him to buy his supplies weeks ago.
Megan simply shrugged, "I don't know either. I mean… Aunt Marge kinda blew up one day, and I was kinda mad so… yeah." She had packed her trunk already, Lupin had bought her supplies as well, for her parents would never show their faces in any wizarding area.
"It makes absolutely no sense." Harry said, as he cleaned Hedwig's cage. "It's just… Abnormal. Your parents can hear the word Voldemort and not even cringe, but they hear magic, or wand, or wizard and it's like… sinful."
"They're muggles. What do you expect?" Megan said, walking over to Harry's bed and sat on it, "Mom and Dad both try to pretend there is no other world but their own."
"And now that's just impossible for them, isn't it." Harry said, as his owl flew in the window. "Seeing as their 'perfect little daughter' is a witch." He took the letter off of Hedwig's ankle and put her in the cage, getting himself prepared for the long, boring ride to King's Cross with his uncle.
"Who's the letter from?" Megan asked, a bit nosilly.
"None of your business." Harry said, his cheeks turning a light pink color. The letter had been from Hermione. He couldn't believe it, but after being her best friend for 5 years or so, he kind of liked her. But he didn't want to get in the way of her and Ron's slowly progressing relationship.
"I'm gonna find out Harry." Megan said as she stood up. "Even if I have to use force." She skipped out of his room and down to her brother's room, to ask him for help carrying her trunk.
Harry shook his head as he carried his trunk and Hedwig downstairs to set in front of the door, just to carry it out to the car later on.
Vernon approached the door and grabbed Megan's trunk, dragging it out to the car, followed quickly by Megan. Harry of course, was expecting this and lugged his own trunk and his owl's cage to the car.
Vernon simply turned on the car once Megan and Harry were in, and drove to the station. Once they arrived, he dragged their stuff over to the mob of wizards.
Harry took his stuff and went over to the Weasley's, meanwhile Megan had taken her stuff and was walking to her best friend Teresa's family.
