Previously in the last chapter:
Harry and I both heard some wailing. "B-But I-I don't want them to b-be there with me!" I rolled my eyes. Typical bratty Dudley. I heard some walking and I quickly moved back, motioning Harry to move back.
Back to the story:
Uncle Vernon was at the door, looking very mad. But we didn't do anything. "Get up boy. And you too Kathryn. You are coming with us. You better not think about messing up Dudley's birthday got it? You are to come with—" The doorbell rang and Aunt Petunia opened up. It was Piers. He tried hitting on me on the first day of school but then Dudley beat him up, saying that I was a loser. Piers is an idiot, but a tad bit smarter than Dudley.
We were sitting in Uncle Vernon's new car, with Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia in the front. Mrs. Polkiss and Piers then Dudley and then Harry squished against the car with me between the 'Fat Dudley' and Harry. We were talking about flying motorcycles quietly until Dudley shouted, "Motorcycles fly Kathryn?!" I facepalmed. Is he really that stupid?
"MOTORCYCLES DON'T FLY" Uncle Vernon slammed the brakes and screamed at us. I looked at him boringly. No duh they don't.
"Of course they don't. They obviously fart from the engine." I snapped sarcastically. Do they really think that we think that motorcycles fly? It's a dream. D-R-E-A-M.
"They do?" Dudley asked. He's incredibly stupid, geez. We finally reached the zoo, and it was pretty sunny. I shouldn't have worn a hoodie and some jeans and freaking combat boots! I'm like prepared for fall NOT SUMMER! Anyways we looked at some monkeys, there was one particular one that looked like Harry and he was annoyed with that. Harry can never stay mad at me.
We went to buy some ice cream and the ice cream vendor lady gave Dudley and Piers some popsicles and she looked at us. Uncle Vernon shooed us before we had the chance to buy some popsicles. But when Uncle Fatty, Aunt Dying Hyena, Fatty Jr, and Ratty weren't looking, the vendor lady quickly gave us chocolate and vanilla ice cream cones. We quickly chowed it down before anyone could see us. Uncle Vernon looked at us suspiciously, and I looked at him with a blank stare. Harry followed the same actions as I did.
Narrator's Point of View
'BRAINFREEZEEEEEEEEE!' Harry and Kathryn thought. They were both cringing on the inside. Once Uncle Vernon wasn't looking, Harry and I were hugging ourselves and trying to calm down. Then he looked at us again and we stared back at him blankly.
Kathryn's Point of View
We went to the reptile section of the zoo. There were lizards, snakes, reptiles, and yeah. Harry and I were following the Stupid Family around and Dudley wanted to see a huge cobra that can easily kill a human being. Dudley kept banging on the glass, trying to make it move. I mentally facepalmed. He thinks that the world surrounds him. Like he's the king. But no duh, he isn't. Stupid brat.
Dudley whined, "Dadddddd, make it moveeeee." Uncle Vernon banged his fists against the glass. The snake didn't move an inch. I narrowed my eyes. How could they be so cruel to the animals? Well, technically it's a reptile. Same thing. I thought and rolled my eyes. Uncle Vernon and Dudley made their way back to Aunt Petunia and Piers. Harry and I stayed with the snake.
Harry and the snaked looked like that they were having a staring contest. I was confused. What was interesting about that snake? I looked at the snake and it winked. IT WINKED. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? The snaked started moving around and it looked at me. I gulped. I did not want to die today. NOT TODAYYYYY.
"Yea, I get that all the time….Where are you from…Oh, so you've never been there before…." Harry mumbled. I widened my eyes. Was he talking to the snake? That's weird. Is there a language that Harry secretly learned that can talk to snakes? Must be called snakenese…Or maybe it's just him talking to himself.
"YOOOO DUDLEY, MRS DURSLEY, MR DURSLEY. LOOK THE SNAKE'S MOVING!"Piers shouted. I heard many people around us 'shhh-ing' us. Piers pushed me to the ground and I banged my head against the wall. Dudley came running after Piers and pushed Harry to the ground next to me. We both lightly groaned simultaneously.
I rubbed my head because for some reason, it really hurt….like extremely bad. I looked at Harry who was staring at Dudley and Piers. They had their fat bodies pressed up against the window looking at the snake. But something weird happened. The glass vanished.
The next thing I heard was Piers and Dudley screaming in horror. Like that they were about to die. Wait, they might die. THE SNAKE WAS LOOSE. The snake slithered out of the open window and looked at us. It flickered its tongue at us and briefly nodded his small head. I think he is saying thank you? It slithered away, making other citizens scream in fear.
I started seeing black spots in my vision. I was swaying my head around. Harry was looking at me concerned, and I lost consciousness. I felt someone catch me before I hit the concrete floor and I fell into deep slumber.
