THE TRUTH

Previouslyy on LONP

" Why do they keep repeating 'your kind,your kind', who is your kind?",he asked. "I have no i will find out soon, won't I?",Natasha asked. Just then a voice boomed from the kitchen,"Come to the kitchen girl, we need to talk"

NOW

As soon as Natasha heard her uncle calling for her,she opened the door and entered the kitchen. "Sit here girl",her uncle ordered and motioned her to the chair next to him. "Me and your aunt have to talk to you about something,regarding your freakishness",Uncle Vernon said. "What do you mean by my freakishness?",Natasha asked curiously. They always addressed her either as a freak or just 'girl'. They never called her by her first name. "You see girl, you are not like us. We are normal people,we don't have any freakish powers. But you do." ,Uncle Vernon replied. "What do you mean freakish powers?",Natasha demanded. "You are a witch Natasha! you are a goddamn witch",Aunt Petunia shouted at her.

"Why are you insulting me!?",Natasha cried angrily. "Your aunt is not insulting you girl. How do you think you did all those things ,which just cannot be explained? How do you think you were able to get,into the roof of the school in the blink of an eye? How do you think you let the snake in the zoo escape?" , her uncle shouted. Her uncle was right, there was absolutely no logical explanation for those things at all. It was as though all those were done because of magic. Doing magic was not bad at all wasn't it? she thought. "Even your mother had your abilities,you know",Aunt Petunia asked."What? Even my mother?",Natasha asked shocked. " came to know about it when a boy who lived near us told her.",Petunia replied."That boy.. Was he also of my kind?",Natasha asked."Yes. He was. He and my sister met each other when they were 9,and they went to the school for your lot when they were 11.",Petunia said.

"School? What school?!",Natasha asked.

"Read this letter, you will understand",Aunt Petunia said giving her the letter. Natasha opened the letter and started reading it.

"Where are we supposed to get all these from",Natasha asked. "I don't know, some teacher from the school had come for your mother last time, to tell about her freakishness. Your mother went with her,and brought all these things. I think you should tell one of your lot to come and take you there in your reply.",Aunt petunia said. "How am i supposed to send? They told we have to send by an owl",Natasha asked puzzled."When your mother used to send letters the owl used to wait for sometime for the may find it outside.", Aunt petunia told. As soon as Natasha heard it ,she ran to the window and looked outside. Sure enough an owl was waiting outside,looking bored.

Natasha quickly took a pen,and a paper and wrote a quick reply,accepting the invitation,and requesting for assistance. Her uncle looked quite angry, but did had kept quiet through the entire conversation. Dudley looked dumbfounded and jealous of her,he also did not utter a word till now. She opened the front door ,and ran towards the owl. She gave the letter to the owl,and the owl happily accepted it and flew away. Natasha was very happy at the turn of events,but she had one very important question to ask her aunt. She went inside the house,and asked her aunt,"My parents did not die in a car crash ,did they?". Her aunt was taken aback by the question ,but replied,"No,she was not. She was murdered by one of your lot along with your father. An evil freak. His name was Voldemort i think.".

Natasha was shocked on hearing this and was full of tears. All this was too much for her. But she was glad to hear that, there was a whole group of people like her, and a whole new world to be explored. The world where her parents met and married. A world which she was sure was full of wonders. She knew she now had to wait for someone to come,and take her there. It surely will be a long wait,she thought. "You are going to shift your room to the Dudley's old room",Uncle Vernon told and added, "Your present room is already too large for you". Telling this he went for his office. "Never knew you were this kind of freak", Dudley told with a curious look. Yep surely a loooong wait,she thought.
