Harry Potter a different life

Chapter 5

Harry and Emily were sleeping thru the whole night. It was 9 in the morning when Harry finally woke up. He quickly found his glasses on the nightstand. Harry looked around in confusion. 'Where was he? And why dose his body hurts so badly' Harry thought. He tried to get up but found out quickly that he couldn't. Harry screamed out in pain and a minute later Amelia rushed into the room.

"Harry are you all right? Do you need something?" she asked worried.

"Everything hurts. Where am I?" asked Harry as he lay back down.

"You are at my House Harry. You and Emily both are here. She is in the room across the hall. As for the Pain…That's due to unblocking your Magic I will bring you your Breakfast and a Potion for your Pain" Amelia said and left the room only to come back 10 minutes later with a tray full of bacon, eggs, an Orange, Juice and what Harry made out as a Potion. "You have to eat before you take the Potion. Eat everything okay you need it" she said and Harry started eating.

After 20 minutes Harry finished his Breakfast and now looked at the Potion. Harry drank it in one gulp. 'Ah that tasted awful' He thought. A minute later he realized that the pain was gone. He tried to stand up and found that it was fairly easy. He found another door on the right wall. It was the Bathroom. Harry quickly showered and brushed his teeth. He went back into the room and found his trunk next to the bathroom door. Quickly he got dressed and made his way into the Hallway. There were at least four other rooms. He assumed that two of them belonged to Amelia and Susan and the other two were probably guestrooms as well. He made is way across the Hallway and knocked on the door.

"Come in" said a voice that definitely belonged to a girl. Harry went in and saw his Sister sitting in Bed eating Breakfast.

"Hey Good Morning" he said and set next to her on the bed.

"Morning. How come your not in pain like I am?" she asked curious and took a sip from her Juice.

"I already finished Breakfast and that Potion really helped…I can´t wait to learn how to do that" he said smiling.

"Will you teach me than?" Emily asked.

"I can but you do realized that you will start Hogwarts next Year…so you probably going to learn that anyway" he said smiling at her.

"Yeah I forgot that sorry. Dose this taste bad?" she asked pointing towards the Potion.

"Yeah but you´ll survive" Harry said laughing a little. "Hey I bought a few books yesterday want to look thru them with me?" he suddenly asked making her smile.

"Yeah would love to" she said drinking the Potion. After she went to the bathroom and changed into some clothes they went to Harry's room. They opened the Trunk and took out the Books Harry bought in Diagon Alley. They quickly found a book they wanted to read. Emily read a Book about Etiquette and Harry was interested in Wizarding Genealogy. He didn´t needed to search long to find the name Potter.

"Hey look at this… apparently our Family is somewhat like a royalty. Our Family is, next to the founders of Hogwarts one of the oldest, wealthiest and most powerful Family. I wonder if that is the reason that this guy Dumbledore wanted to keep everything from us" said Harry.

"Wow…That is…Wow" Emily was shocked. Yesterday she found out that she is from a very wealthy Family and now she finds out she is somewhat like a royalty. They continued reading. A few minutes later Harry started laughing. "What´s so funny?" Emily asked looking up from the Book she was reading.

"I meet this guy yesterday…Draco Malfoy. He was percentage about how wealthy and powerful his Family is I could clearly hear that in his voice. His Family didn´t had a powerful position for centuries. They only us their Money for bribery and that´s why there are slowly losing all their money because they don´t want to work. Well at least that what it sounds like" Harry said still laughing.

"Well he sounds like an idiot…that whole Family does" Emily said and turned back to her book. Half an hour later the door opened.

"Ah there you are" said Susan. "Lunch is ready…oh and Neville is coming over. Apparently Professor McGonagall told him and his Gran that you are here" she added and the three of them went downstairs. "Were going to eat outside in the yard as it is a beautiful day" Susan said and led then thru the hallway outside. The Yard was small but beautiful. There were a few Trees and a small pond with a bridge over it leading to a hammock.

"Wow it´s beautiful" said Emily as she sat down at the Table.

"Yeah it is it used to be my mum´s but now Aunt Amelia is taking care of it" said Susan with a sad smile.

"What happened to her?" asked Harry shy.

"She, my Dad and many others of my Family died during the first War" said Susan sadly.

"Oh sorry I…I didn´t know" said Harry.

"It´s okay how should you know" said Susan with a small smile. They sat there in silence. Five minutes later Neville appeared outside.

"Hey guys" he said smiling and sat down next to Susan.

"Hey Neville" they greeted him.

"Oh Neville this is my Sister Emily...Emily this is Neville Longbottom" Harry said introducing them.

"Hey nice to meet you" Neville said holding out his hand.

"You too" Emily said and took his hand as Amelia came out carrying a two big plates of Sandwiches.

"Ah good your all here. Let´s eat" she said and placed the plates on the table and sat down at the head of the table. There were many different sandwiches. They had Chees, Ham, Turkey, Bacon, salami and some with salmon. "So how are you two? Any Pain?" asked Amelia.

"No thanks to the Potion" said Harry smiling.

"That's good to hear. What were you doing so far?" she than asked.

"Well Harry and I were looking thru some of his Books. They're very interesting" said Emily.

"I looked thru the schoolbooks. I can´t wait to go to Hogwarts" said Susan smiling.

"Well that sounds great. Why don´t you all go swimming in the Pond later…It´s such nice weather" suggested Amelia.

"Yeah why not…you in?" Susan said.

"Yeah" said Emily and Neville at the same time but Harry looked terrified.

"Ah…you guys go I´m not really in the mood" said Harry nervous.

"What? Harry are you okay I can see that something is bothering you?" asked Emily worried.

"What yeah I´m okay" lied Harry.

"No you're not. Tell me what´s going on" said Emily loudly.

"Well I…It´s just that….I never learnt how to swim. The Dursleys didn´t allow it" said Harry sad and looked at his empty plate.

"Oh…Than we will teach you won´t we guys?" Emily said smiling and took her Brothers hand.

Harry looked at her. "Really?".

"Yes Harry that's what Friends are for" said Susan smiling at him. Harry beamed at them. He had not only a Sister but Friends. They all got up and changed into bathing clothes. Once they were at the Pond they all, except for Harry, jumped in from the bridge.

"Come in Harry it´s not so cold. If you want you can only go as far as you can stand" said Emily and harry slowly made his way into the water. He stopped when the water reached at his chest. Emily slowly made her way over to him. It didn´t took long for Harry to learn how to swim. He was still slow and a bit unsure but at the end of the afternoon Harry could swim. They spend the afternoon swimming and playing around in the water. At 6pm Neville had to leave as he promised to be home for Dinner. It was after Dinner when Harry and Emily were sitting in Harry´s room.

"So how bad was our 'dear Family'?" asked Emily sitting on Harry´s bed.

"They…They are the worst sort of people you will ever meet. I had to do all the chores and I lived in a Cupboard under the stairs. Dudley and his Friends used me as a human punching bag and whenever I did something wrong Uncle Vernon would beat me until I bleed our at least some of my bones are broken. I always followed the rules but they didn´t care. When I got a better grade in school they would beat me, starve me and look me into the Cupboard" Harry said and Emily took him into her arms. After a few minutes Harry stopped crying and looked up into Emily´s brown eyes and saw that she was crying too. "Thank you" was all Harry could say as he hugged his Sister tight.

"For what?" asked Emily confused.

"For being there for me even if you only know me for one Day. It´s more than anyone has ever done for me" said Harry with a sad smile and Emily only hugged him tighter.

"Of course I am there for you Harry. You're my brother and one thing I have learned from watching others is that Family should always stick together no matter what. I love you Harry even if I only know you for one day" she said honestly looking into his emerald eyes.

"You really mean all of that?" Harry asked.

"Yes Harry I love you oh brother of mine" she said smiling.

"I love you too Sister. I am so happy to have at least some family that loves me "said Harry and kissed her cheek.

"I think we should go to bed" said Emily.

"Yeah that sounds like a good idea" Harry answered and led Emily back to her room. They said goodnight and Harry kissed her cheek one more time and went back to his room. When Harry lay in bed he couldn´t help but smile. His life was finally changing for the better.
