A/N:: I do not own Harry Potter nor anything to do with Harry Potter, I am merely borrowing the characters for my own use and happiness -snickers- although I will be including some of my own OCs and will of course include a chapter with all their info whenever one pops up.
I am sorry for the lack of updates, I am afraid I lost my muse for writing and life became just too busy. I shall endeavor to continue this but as before it was mentioned; I am going to have sporadic updates. I will try not to go a year without uploading something but no promises. For those who stuck out with me, I thank you for understanding. For those who gave up, I am truly sorry. I have had a lot of people message me about Fleurs Stinging Words Rewritten. I will say this, it is now officially on hold, it is not discontinued, no it won't be put up for adoption. I will get to it when I finally get to it, I have lost my muse for writing it; I rather wait until I got my muse then to post something that will be half-assed.
There will be Dumblededoofluff bashing, Selective Weasley bashing, Potter bashing, Granger bashing most likely, well a bunch of random bashing.
"What have you done? Is this what you wanted? What have you become? I don't want to be a part of his sin, I'm not playing this game." -Within Temptation
A year had passed since the night both twins had shown up on their door step, the house still looked the same and unchanged from the outside. If you look on the inside though, you would see pictures first of a blonde haired, blue eyed boy that looked like a small beach whale wearing bonnets from age of a baby too older, riding a tricycle, playing in the park, first day of school.
Once it hit about the boys seventh year of life the pictures started showing a pair of twins included with the boy. Swimming and playing, reading or opening presents on Christmas, all the pictures showed warmth and love between the twins and their cousin who was named Dudley.
They called him Dud most of the time, although sometimes they would tease and call him Milk Dud after the candy, it had been peaceful it seemed the Potters were content to let their two youngest stay with the Dursleys.
Even going as far as to sign the adoption papers, both wizarding and muggle world papers, they were hoping the twins would be treated horrible at the house since it was usually common knowledge Petunia hated Lily, a lot more now than before.
"HARRY, SERENADE" Petunia called up the stairs before going back into the kitchen to finish cooking breakfast. Harry and Serenade were in their room laying on the bed just thinking about the time they started living here, "you know that slap really did hurt" Harry muttered causing Serenade to giggle.
"Well we deserved it big brother you know that" she said giggling softly before slowly stretching, her mind wondering back to that exact same night that they had shown up.
After they been ushered in both stood there petrified wondering what was going to happen to them, especially after they were sat down and told to tell them why they were here and alone with just bags. It took most of the night and several cups of hot chocolate and tea before finally both were slapped upside the head quite harshly by Vernon.
"Why I understand, next time don't go out so late at night by yourselves you got it?" their aunt said soothing the spot her husband hit. It was not out of malice they hit them having long gotten over the fact that they had witches and wizards in the family.
It was because they had done something so reckless and dangerous and could have been hurt, even when they had the houseelf take them here. "You will be allowed to stay, if my dratted bitch of a sister comes looking for you we will figure something out okay?" she asked and they had nodded quickly.
Hearing her brothers voice call her she snapped out of it and chuckled, over this year had been the best of their lives. The Potters had signed their two children away without a second glance and while Albus and the family were hoping they would be abused they were wrong.
Both children were treated like their aunt and uncles own children and it sometimes felt that Dudley was their brother and not their cousin. Both having gotten dressed grinned at each other before rushing down the stairs and straight to the kitchen were a banner reading 'Happy Birthday Harry and Serenade' hung.
Harry sat in his seat beside Dudley who was waiting for the food as Serenade made her way over and kissed her uncle on the cheek before going and helping her aunt with some the breakfast plates setting them in front of the people before sitting down herself.
"So what are we going to do?" Harry asked excitedly, for Dudleys birthday they went to the zoo where it was discovered both sets of twins could talk to snakes. Dudley thought it was cool as for their aunt and uncle well they were more shocked then anything especially after a bully had ended up in the cage, but honestly he should have not pushed their cousin out of the way and onto the ground.
The two adult Dursleys shared an amused look between them "well we were thinking of going to amusement park" Petunia stated before shaking her head at the three cheers of yes as the kids shoveled down their food well except Serenade who ate quite regally and dainty. She never could break out of the habit installed in her at a young age unlike Harry who started acting like a kid should act.
After she was finished she stood up excused herself and went to get ready, throwing on a fall dress with tights on underneath so that perverts would not be able to look up since a lot of rides caused dresses and skirts to rise up. Black ballet shoes and her hair in pigtails finished off the look as she took off down the stairs to wait for her two brothers. Stopping before she could fully get down she peaked through the gaps of the bar railing covering her mouth in shock as she saw the old goat Dumbledore sitting there with his wand out and seeing some odd colored spell hit her aunt and uncle.
Wanting to know what was going on she quietly moved closer "now you are to beat and abuse Serenade and Harry, you don't love them, you despise them to the core and think they are freaks" he told them and she could only manage to watch in horror as they agreed in a monotone voice. Dumbledore rose smiling thinking he would never be caught by the twins and assume that their family just hated them, he couldn't wait to tell the Potters. Stopping before the door and still not seeing Serenade he let a cruel smile fall upon his face "also feel free to think Serenade is a pretty little thing who could make you lots of money being sold" before walking out.
Serenade couldn't help feeling sick and disgusted as she raced to the top of the stairs and ran into Dudley and Harry "Harry" she stated her eyes welling up in tears. This had Harry looking concerned and Dudley putting his arms around her to comfort her, "Sere what is it?" he asked leading her to Dudleys room where she sat on his bed and started explaining all that she saw and heard. This caused Harry to become angry and Dudley to grow concerned knowing it would not be safe for them to remain here meaning he would be losing his two best friends.
Hearing the thudding of steps on the stairs both twins stood straight and steeled themselves for what was to come. They did not wait long as the door was slammed open and Vernon came in saying nothing but grabbing the twins by their hair and dragging them down the stair. Throwing them against the wall hard they both crumpled to the ground as Harry who was less dazed than his sister wrapped his arms around her, listening to her whimper softly. "You good for nothing freaks we fed you and clothed you and you repay us with your freakiness?" their uncle raged, vein throbbing and spittle flying as he raised a hand and smacked Harry into the wall.
This had Serenade whimpering lightly which apparently was wrong to do cause now his attention was turned onto her, her skirt was riding up, thanks to the tights there was no skin showing. Vernon smirked a twisted type of smirk "oh yes you will bring us lots of money once we sell you" he stated gleefully. With that he grabbed her only the silent pleading of her eyes kept Dudley where he was rooted on the spot, he wanted to help, he did not think of them as his parents in this state. Only the tears leaking out of her eyes and splashing on her uncles hand did it snap him out of the haze, dropping her he looked on in horror his eyes ranging from horror to hate like he was waging war.
Petunia got lucky she was snapped out of it when she heard her husband's words of selling, she knew what happened and she could feel it take control again. "Kids hurry you must run away again, in the safe by our bed is adoption papers that were completed but the adoptees part was never filled out, find someone you trust and have them adopt you" she stated trying to get the children to hurry before she gave into the voice telling her to hate them. They had prepared adoption papers and money knowing something like this may happen giving them the combination she watched both run up the stairs and gave into the madness.
Both tried to go get the kids to lock them in the cupboard but was stopped by her precious son who stood in their way knowing that they would not hurt him and give him everything he wanted. It was like watching through different eyes like a movie, they were locked in their minds, she wanted to cry especially since they heard the bedroom window open and knew the two escaped. She vowed revenge, revenge against Dumbledore and in her mind knew she would get the revenge she sought, for now she will remain inside her mind biding time knowing her husband is doing the same.
