Chapter 2

Ten years after Petunia's niece was left on their doorstep, Rosaline was blossoming into a beautiful young girl. Her midnight color hair cascaded down her mid-back, while her eyes were green as a forest on a fresh spring day, and she was the talk of the street. Every young lad on the street were wanting to befriend her, but as her Aunt Petunia forbid that any boy come near her, she still waved and greeted them with a sweet smile. Her Uncle Vernon acknowledge her presence in their home, but still didn't say much to her. Her cousin Dudley treated her decently, he would help her with anything she needed, and was quite the body guard when she was being harassed when they went out. She was happy to have a loving family, but something still felt like it was missing.

"Aunt Petunia, may I ask a question?"

"Yes, Rose dear, what is the matter?"

"Could you tell me about my parents? Where they are since I never met them?"

Aunt Petunia tensed and stared at the young girl, she didn't know what to reply, she was afraid what her niece would be capable of. She knew that one day this question would come up. She sat down and ushered the girl to sit by her side, which she did and she hugged the small child to her. Rose was curious at her aunt's actions and raised her head to look at her. Her aunt lowered her eyes to her and smiled, rubbing the child's back before speaking.

"Rose, this might be difficult to take for you, but when you were just a small babe, your mother and father had perished in a car accident. Luckily, the people that found you, sent you to the hospital to get a check up, and also did a DNA test to see, if you had other family members, which is how we came up and sent you to us. You were a blessing to me and Uncle Vernon."

Aunt Petunia felt a tinge of pain in herself for lying to the poor girl about the death of her parents, but she didn't want her niece to be upset, so she blatantly lied to keep the girl from being hurt and causing magic to go out of control. She looked to see, if the girl was alright, and the child was just quiet, staring into deep space, while hugging her aunt tightly. Aunt Petunia kissed her forehead and rubbed her back some more, whispering to her that it was alright to cry, and with that the young child cried her heart out and Uncle Vernon walked in on the scene and looked to his wife, who just nodded and in came Dudley worried about his cousin and hugged her tightly, trying to calm her down.

"Thank you, Auntie, Dudley, and Uncle Vernon for taking me in."

"No problem, cousin, now come on, let's open some presents together, I know you want to."

Rose smiled as she and Dudley started opening his 36 presents together, but senses danger as he quickly finished unwrapping them, she quickly looked to her Aunt, who nodded furiously and quickly tried to control the anger that was quickly showing its ugly head on her beloved son.

"Mummy, there is only 36 presents." Dudley sneered at his parents. "That is two less than last year!"

"Sweetie, you forgot Aunt Marge's present under mummy and daddy's."

"37 then." Dudley at this point was starting to turn red and Rose spoke up quicker than her aunt and patted Dudley on the back.

"No, you forgot mine and we will go out and buy you one more. That's a total of 39, you see you got more this year, silly Dud."

Dudley quickly calmed down and Uncle Vernon patted the girl's head for her quick thinking. "The boy wants his money's worth, just like me."

The door bell rang and Rose went to get it to find Dudley's friend, Piers, at the door and waved to him to come in. The boy nodded to the girl with a grin and Dudley and Piers went into an automatic conversation. Aunt Petunia looked at Rose and Rose knew that she was going to a woman by the name of Arabella Figg's house, for it isn't because her aunt and uncle didn't want her to come, it was for the fact it was Rose's idea to be with Mrs. Figg, so that she can give Dudley a special birthday. Dudley sensed his cousin would be leaving for Mrs. Figg's house suddenly came up to his mum and looked at her.

"I want Rose to come, it isn't fair that every year she doesn't want to come with us."

This shocked the couple and Rose, for Dudley, even though he didn't mind being with Piers on his birthday every year, it felt that his cousin was left out on his birthday every year. Uncle Vernon patted his son's back and nodded to Petunia, who in turn stared at the girl for her verdict. Rose looked to her cousin, then her aunt and uncle, then back at Dudley, who was giving her a puppy stare and she nodded her head. Dudley grinned and hugged the girl then Uncle Vernon turned to her and nicely, but sternly cautioned her.

"Rose, no funny business, or you are grounded for a week, understand me?"

"Yes, I'll be on my best behavior, Uncle, I promise."

Uncle Vernon nodded his head and Dudley grabbed Rose's hand and led her to the car. Aunt Petunia sat in the front as she usually does and Rose was sitting behind her Aunt, while Dudley was sitting behind his father, while Piers was stuck in the middle. Rose heard her Uncle Vernon complain about the usual topics, from work to people at work and the everyday happenings. Rose giggled as he kept complaining and Aunt Petunia looked into the mirror at her beautiful niece with a smile. Suddenly a motorcyclist cut them off, and Uncle Vernon's language became very colorful.

"Why that son of a bitch almost got ourselves killed! Petunia check to see, if the children are alright."

Petunia looked back and everything was alright, then she turned to Rose, who look like, she was about to have a heart attack and calmly reassured her aunt that she was alright. Petunia nodded and looked to her husband, who was still fuming and Rose suddenly remembered a weird dream she had.

"I had a dream about a flying motorcycles."

Uncle Vernon's eyes widen like saucers, but then he calmed down and turned his head to her. "Motorcycles don't fly, dear Rose." Her uncle wasn't a fan to the weird happenings, but can you blame him, who would want to live a strange life when you can have a normal one. Piers looked at Rose and raised a quizzical eyebrow. Dudley shook his head at his cousin and Rose blushed at her outburst and kept her mouth shut throughout the whole ride to the zoo.

Once at the zoo, Rose was walking into the Reptile Exhibit where she was studying the snakes, and stopped at a Boa Constrictor that his cousin and uncle were trying to wake the sleeping snake, but to no avail and Dudley moved to the next display and she just watched the boa. Suddenly the boa, opened its beady black eyes and raised its body to be the same level as Rose's and nodded to her. She looked around to make sure her uncle and cousin didn't see, and thank God they weren't, and nodded her head back to the snake. Unbeknownst her aunt was watching her cautiously with her hand to her heart to calm herself because she was afraid that her niece awakened the snake without even tapping on glass. She was afraid that she will lose her to magic as she did her sister and also afraid that she will find the truth behind her aunt's lie and it would break her heart to have her niece hate her for lying to the poor girl.

"You are from Brazil, is it nice there?"

The boa pointed to the sign and she read that he was bred in the zoo and she felt pained that it didn't know its true origin and she heard Pier's loud voice and looked towards her uncle and cousin.

"Look at the snake! It moved because of Rose."

Dudley waddled over to his cousin and Rose felt bad for her cousin's overweight self, but if his parents won't help him lose the weight, so she couldn't voice her opinion about it. She then stepped aside for her cousin and uncle. While Dudley and Piers leaned up against the glass, the glass vanished and they started to fall in, releasing the large boa, but Rose grabbed the back of Pier's shirt and Dudley's arm and pulled them before falling into the water of the tank. After doing so, she fell onto her butt and sighed. The boa slithered over and nodded his head to her.

"Thanks."

"Y-You're welcome?"

The boa slithered off and caused everyone to scream and shout, and Petunia helped the girl up and dusted the yellow sundress decorated with roses that she was wearing. She thanked her aunt and went over to help Dudley and Piers up, and Uncle Vernon kept a watchful eye on her.

"Well, that was interesting, let's go for ice cream and shop for Dudley's last present."

Rose nodded in agreement and Uncle Vernon patted his son's head and then gave Rose a hug for saving his son, which he never showed any sign of affection to her. She then hugged him back and it warmed Petunia's heart at the scene that she took a picture of it to keep in her photo album. As the day drew on, the dropped Piers home and headed back to Number 4 Privet Drive, and Dudley headed straight into the kitchen to eat his cake, after buying his last birthday present. Aunt Petunia went into the fridge and took out the well decorated three layered marble cake. She stuck the candles into the cake and lit them, and clapped her hands to start singing 'Happy Birthday' and once it was done, her aunt clapped as Dudley blew out the candles. There was mail coming through the mail slot and Petunia went to get them, while she looked through, she saw one addressed to her niece and froze. She feared this day, but it was inevitable, and she looked to her smiling niece and felt a sharp pain in her heart. The day she leaves for that dreaded school after her eleventh birthday, and she was not ready to let her go.
