Chapter 7
Tara stood there holding her little brother for what seemed liked forever. I can't believe I missed him so much she thought. Harry had no idea what to do he never had been hugged before. She is my sister, I have a family, he thought. "Well, Tara is it?" asked the horse faced looking woman. "My name is Aunt Petunia, your uncle here is Veron, and this is your cousin Dudley." Tara finally put Harry down and looked at her family. "Yes, it's Tara, and it's very nice to meet u all. Um where do we live?" Tara asked as politely as she could. All the Dursleys did was walk towards the exit. She figured her and Harry should follow them so she did. "So, um what's your favorite color Tara? Mine is green." Harry asked. "Well kid, my favorite color is blue, black, green, red, gold, and silver." Tara answered. They walked out of the train station in silence. I have a million questions to ask her but I don't know where to begin, Harry thought. The ride to Number 4 Privet Drive was a quiet one. "Up the Stairs to the right is your bedroom. Your godparents brought the things that you don't need at school in you room. Here are the House rules, you may have one slumber party over here a month, we may not like magic but you're a growing girl and need to have friends. And funny business that disrupts this household and you lose any privileges given to you. Besides the slumber party one, you may visit one friend's house a month, you are allowed to stay home by your self, and finally you will be allowed to watch TV. Petunia will take you shopping to decorate your new bedroom the way you want to. You are expected to set and clear the tables, keep your room clean, and make your bed. Understand?" Uncle Veron asked her? "Perfectly Uncle. I was expected to do the same at my godparents." Tara replied. Wow, these guys are strict, thought Tara. "So Harry where do u sleep?" Harry looked at her and said, "I sleep in the cupboard under the stairs." She is so lucky, she actually has friends, I wish I did, Harry thought to himself. "Well then Harry you can sleep in my room okay?" Tara said "alright." Harry replied. "Well Tara in the car now, we have shopping to do." Aunt Petunia said and she pushed back into the car. "BOY GETS THE BAGS IN YOUR SISTER"S ROOM NOW!" Yelled uncle Veron.
"Okay, Tara listens up and listens well. You are my only chance at having a daughter. You will live like a princess. You may be magical, and I HATE magic, but you're a girl no the less and I want one" Aunt Petunia said as they pulled out of the drive way. "I need you to do something to look like you belong has my daughter because that us what, your uncle and I told everyone, in public or when we have company, its mom and dad." Tara blinked then changed herself to look like her aunt, a younger prettier version of her aunt. The short spiked black hair turned long and was a chestnut brown, her eyes became large Dow eyes, and she grew slightly taller. "Okay aunt, I mean mom. Wow, I barely remember my mom, it will be nice to say those words, mom and dad." Tara said. "Well you like me when I was a girl. Here is the store. Out we go." Aunt petunia said.
In the stores they picked at blacks, pinks, and so many other colors, they went clothes shopping and did mother daughter stuff for the rest of the day.
Back at the house, Harry was sitting on his bed thinking about the day's events. I have a family, well a sister at least. One who loves me, and hugs. I never thought I would ever have a family. Harry felt so alone in the house, but now he had a direct family member, and magic is real. And in three years he would get his letter and go to Hogworts, he couldn't wait to ask Tara to tell her everything she knew but for now he would rest it was a long day.
More with Harry next chapter. I just wasn't sure how I would put the important conversation between petunia and Tara and write a lot bout Harry, so next chapter more.
