Mercia the Witch

Chapter 1

A six year old girl was smiling while playing on the swing set while waiting for her parents to come and pick her up from school. While she was swinging she notices a boy her age sitting alone by a tree. She jumped off the swing and skipped over there, she stopped right next to him and smiled brightly,

"Hiya!" She yelled smiling. The young boy in front of her jumped and turned around quickly with a blush. He had short black hair and a lightening looking scar on his forehead. He was short and skinny.

"H-hi…" He said looking down with a blush. She smiled and sat down next to him and poked his side gently.

"My name is Mercia! What's yours?" She asked and tilted her head to the side.

"Harry" He said smiling and looking at her. She was wearing some shorts and a tank top, her long black hair was in a pony tail.

"Well nice to meetcha Harry!" Mercia said happily and looked down. "Whatcha doing?"

"Nothing really, just sitting in the shade hiding from my cousin" He replied sadly.

"Why would you hide?" She asked curiously.

"He's mean and beats me up" He answered looking down sadly.

"Not anymore! From this day on Mercia will help!" She yells giggling. Harry smiled and shook his head.

"But I don't want you to get hurt, Dudley is really mean" Harry said looking at the petite girl in front of her.

"No prob!" She said smiling and leaned over next to him holding her hand out, "I promise to help you as long as you promise to be my friend" He laughed and shook her hand, "As long as you don't get hurt Mercia" He said laughing at his new friend seeing her jump up and down.

They played for hours it felt like, laughing smiling and getting to know each other. That was until his cousin came over.

"Hey ugly!" He yelled looking over at Harry, "Leave the pretty girl alone and come over here so I can beat you up!" Harry was about to stand up until Mercia stood up and shook her head at him along with her tiny little finger.

"You mister are not nice!" She yelled angrily at the boy in front of her. Dudley glared at her and stomped over at her and pushed her to the ground, but before she hit the ground Harry caught her and hugged her closely.

"Mercia!" Two adults yelled walking over to see Harry holding her.

"M-mommy! That boy pushed me!" She pouted pointing at the oversized kid in front of her.

"Now now" Isabella said shaking her head at the young boy, "Pushing is not nice" The kid glared at her and cried. Then two other parents came and glared at Isabella, Delos, Mercia, and Harry.

"What did you do to my son!" The mother yelled hugging her baby, kissing him.

"Nothing, YOUR son pushed our daughter!" Isabella replied glaring.

"My Dudley would never do that" She glared back at Isabella.

"Oh yea? Then why is MY daughter being helped by that gentleman over there?" Delos said smartly and smiled down at Harry when he said that.

"Grrrrr!" The girl yelled outraged, "Dudley let's go! You to Vernon" The girl with the tall neck said and walked away, leaving Harry behind on purpose. The other two over large men followed.

"M-mommy…" Mercia said with a tear in her eyes. Harry looked up and whipped it away.

"S-sorry it's actually my fault…those two take care of me…" Harry said to the two parents who smiled.

"It's not your fault, now come along, you can stay with us tonight until we get you back to them" Delos said and picked up his daughter and handed her to Isabella, then he bent down and picked up Harry.

They walked over to the car and set them both in the back and then went in the front seats.

"So…? How did you to meet?" Isabella asked while starting the car and looking back at the two kids who were giggling and talking quietly to each other.

"I talked to him" Mercia replied and hugged Harry, "Lets me friends forever and ever!" She said holding out her pinky, she tilts her head to the side, "Promise?"

"Promise" Harry said smiling and connected his pinky to hers.
