Here is the next chapter of the story.

And again: I still don't own this. A girl can wish thought right?

I am skipping to when Harry and Alexis are 10, like the book does. There'll be a lot of differences from the book and this story starting now. This will be in Harry's POV.

Snakes, Strangeness, and Waking Up

Harry's POV

I woke up to the sun shining threw the window of the small window of Alexis and mine's cramped room (AN I know that Harry lived in a cupboard but I don't think that even the Dursley's would stick two kids into one small closet). My arm was wrapped protectively around Alex. I sighed, she has got to stop climbing into bed with me.

"Alex," I said gently shaking her. She stirred but didn't wake up. "Alex, Alex, Alex!" She emitted a few soft groans but otherwise didn't wake up.

"Alex, THE SKY IS FALLING!"

"Watch out for clouds!" Alex said stupidly, sitting bolt upright. I snickered wondering were in the world that came from. "That was not funny!" But her lips were pressed tightly together to keep from smiling. She smacked my arm, I rubbed it in mock hurt. "HA thats what you get. I hope that hurt. BAD."

"I think I'm gonna die from the pain." I stated mockingly. Then an idea slowly formed in my head. "But you realize that I'm gonna have to punish you for that." I shifted my position, sitting on her and pinning her hands beneath my knees.

"You wouldn't dare." she squirmed, trying with no success to get out from underneath me, as I flexed my fingers threateningly. Then she screamed as I tickled her.

"Stop...please...I'm...Sor...ry!" she said, in between giggles and gasps for breath. Her laugh had to be the most beautiful thing in the world, it rang, softly, almost like bells. There came a bang on the bedroom door.

"Shut up and get downstairs!" Came Uncle Vernon's rough, shouty voice through the door. I stopped abruptly and climbed off of Alex. The sound the heavy footsteps of Uncle Vernon got quieter and quieter as he continued down the hall signaled that he hadn't waited for a response. I turned back to Alex.

"Why don't you get dressed?" I said helping her up and turning my back. I heard the sounds of her moving around.

"Kay, I'm dressed." I turned when she stated this and sighed. I hated the way she was forced to dress, some people might just think she was a tom boy, in the dark blue baggy pants and black shirt that came down to her knees that used to belong to Dudley, but I knew better and longed to buy her pretty clothes for just once. I pulled a pair of blue jeans that were big on me over my boxers and slipped into a blue shirt as Alex put her hair back sloppily with rubber band. My clothes also used to belong to Dudley.

As I walked through the door of our room, I felt a tiny hand slip into mine. I looked down at Alex and smiled. I was short but Alex was shorter she only came up to my shoulder.

We walked into the kitchen hand in hand. (AN I'm gonna skip a little and get to the in the reptile room at the zoo because before that is the same as the book. Mrs Figg can't babysit. Also I know don't know how to spell Dudley's friends name so from here on I will spell it Piers Polkas.)

Alexis who was scared of snakes stayed close to me, I put my arm reassuringly around her shoulder.

"Hey Dad, look at this snake, I bet it's the longest here." Dudley shouted from in front of the clear glass tank of a huge snake right beside him was Piers. Vernon peered at it in obvious distaste. "Make it move!" Vernon tapped on the glass but the snake didn't budge. Quickly growing bored of this Dudley walked away. Alex walked up to the tank, me right behind her. The strangest noise came from her mouth it sounded a bit like hissing. The snake reared up and seemed to understand her. This went on for a few minutes.

"WHOA, yo Dud, look at what the snake is doing!" Piers shouted. Dudley jogged over to the tank shoving my sister out of the way. I quickly caught her, and glared at Dudley. Then the glass disappeared. No joke. Dudley fell face forward and landed in the tank. The snake slivered away, pausing to hiss at Alex who hissed back. Then my attention turned back to Dudley, as he tried to get out he found that the glass had reappeared.

Hours later after many apologies from the zoo manager over cups of tea. We all got back into the car. Piers and Dudley were joking around and such and I had my arm around Alex who seemed lost in thought.

"Alexis was talking to the snake weren't you Alexis?" Piers suddenly said. Uncle Vernon swerved suddenly, sputtering. Alex was shaking her head furiously.

"No she wasn't that's impossible!" I stated, even though I was beginning to have my suspicions, but I wouldn't bother Alexis about it unless she brought it up.

After dropping Piers off at his house, we drove the rest of the ways to the Dursley's house for some reason I could never think of it as home. As soon as I with my arm around Alexis who looked scared and judging by the look on Uncle Vernon's face I could see why. Vernon looked very,very, very mad and frightening, Uncle Vernon turned on us.

"YOU-I-SNAKE-" he sputtered not being able to form coherent words. Finally he said in a deathly quiet voice. "Go to your room. Now"

We obliged and through the week nothing strange happened at all until...

Do you see my plan? I don't think that my writing alone will keep you hooked so I'm going to end each chapter with a cliffie so you have to read to find out. HA its diabolical isn't it!

Also I have no idea what a beta is so could someone please tell me in their reviews what one is? There is my diabolicalness again.

Lol!
