Special thanks to flower123, and Time and Fate, for reviewing.

I'm SO sorry for not updating in so long... I have been really sick, and haven't been able to write.

Now on with chapter 10!

The next day, Harry was woken up by Tally pouring water all over his face. He jumped up, looking at his sister like she was crazy. "What was that for?" He sputtered.

"You didn't wake up when I told you to..." She said shrugging, picking up her white Ipod, and turning it on as she walked out of the room.

Harry rolled his eyes, vowing to get back at his little sister, and changed out of his night cloths and into comfy travel cloths. A few minutes later, Harry had put his suitcase by his parents and Tally's bag. "Harry could you go get your sister? She's down at the pool." James said, as he tried in vain to find his glasses.

Harry was soon walking down the stairs that led to the Hotels swimming pool, and saw his little sister sitting on the edge of the pool. Her shoes were by her side, and her feet were in the water. She was humming, and moving her feet to the rhythm of the song she was listening to. Harry called out her name, but the music was so loud that he could hear it from her headphones over 10 feet away. She was deaf to the world. She nearly fell into the water when he touched her shoulder.

"Don't scare me like that Harry!" She ordered pulling the headphones off, and accepting his hand to help pull her up from the waters edge. "We leaving?" She asked ignoring proper English.

"Why do you talk like that?" Harry asked annoyed. She had talked in improper English about 15 times since he had first meet her.

"Like what?" She asked in her thick accent.

"Like saying 'we leaving', it's 'we're leaving'. It sounds weird." Harry said, as they walked up the stairs back to there room.

"Cause I wanna." She said. "Why? You never heard of a redneck or somethin'?"

"A what?" Harry asked.

"Well I ain't a redneck, but I'm close. A redneck is usually considered poor white trash." Tally said. "I grew up around 'em. They're alright once you get to know 'em. I used to live out in the boondocks till a few years ago when Aunt Rachelle got a better job." She rolled her eyes. "I start talkin' like that on accident. I don't do it on purpose. It just happens. Don't tell Aunt Rachelle I'm slippin' with my English again. She paid for me to go to a school to learn how to speak good English."

"What are the boondocks?" Harry asked.

"Boondocks are swamp areas with house boats. We lived back and forth from the boonies to L.A. Now we just go back once a year so I can see my friends." Tally said.

They had arrived at the room, just as Lily found James' glasses, and then they left for the airport. Rachelle was going to meet them back in England when she got through with tying up the loose ends with her job and the house.

A/N The next chapter will take place in Diagon Ally (that's how you spell it right?) and we will finally get some romance going on. Tally will see a rather... interesting and stunningly good looking blond, that we all love. I'm not sure who Harry will end up with, so if you want to put your two cents in go ahead, though in the end I will choose.
