Chapter 2

Recognition

Harry awoke to his older cousin shaking him from his slumber. He groggily sat up rubbing his eyes and reaching for his glasses. He stumbled out of bed, and into the bathroom, being directed by Dudley, while he stayed in his half sleeping state. Dudley flicked water in Harry's face attempting to wake him, after watching him closely he decided he could leave and returned to his room.

After finally submitting his hair into a much more tamed look Harry returned to his room and threw on the only half decent clothes he owned. He looked into the full body length mirror. He really didn't look to bad. The green army combats he wore weren't ripped nor were they overly big. Harry had grown a lot this summer yet he was still nowhere near as tall as his red headed partner in crime; Ronald Weasley.

After scrutinising over his outfit he finally decided upon the black leather jacket and 'iron maiden' tee that had once belonged to Dudley. Harry had never heard of the old rock band but then again the only music he had really listened to was the music that blasted from the youngest Weasley's room on his yearly visits there.

He heard a knock on his door and headed to the door slipping his wand up his sleeve, ready for combat if need be. After informing Petunia they would be leaving they left for the meeting point which Harry had gathered was the home of the possible witch.

Before they knocked on the door, Harry pulled Dudley to side. Dudley looked at him expectingly whereas Harry continued to wonder how to word this sentence. He certainly didn't want to offend his companion.

"Dudley. Before we need to continue I need to warn you, you have to call me James Black. For the sake of not only I but you as well. Our lives could be at risk today, I really don't want to lose anyone else this year." Dudley's eyes widened at the urgency in Harry's voice but simply nodded. He was sure to ask about it when they had left the company of Wendy.

After they had knocked, the door was opened by he teens mother. Who had quickly waved her hand allowing Dudley in but upon noticing Harry she gawked at him while he stared at her. They both recognised each other, yet they didn't know exactly who they were looking at. They both stayed fixed in that position completely stationary, until a young teenager came bounding down the stairs and laid a kiss on Dudley's cheek in greeting.

After looking around Wendy finally noticed the black haired boy standing in the corner. She instantly blushed a shade of unflattering red and waved shyly at the unknown arrival. Dudley decided it was time to introduce Wendy to Harry or 'James' as he had temporarily been renamed.

"Wendy Boyd meet James Black. James, this is my girlfriend Wendy" they nodded at each other as a way of greeting both hoping the tension would thin over time. They trudged down to the small park on the centre green of little whining.

The day went on and Harry was still unsure how to uncover the mystery of whether on not Wendy was a magical child. He couldn't exactly wait for something to happen because if she were not a witch nothing would happen. Apparently the long battle Harry was having inside his head, while pretending to enjoy himself, was in vain because as they were swinging on the set of three swings, Dudley started to fall. A massive crack, like a gunshot was heard and Wendy caught Dudley before he hit the ground. All the swings stopped and Harry stared at her.

"You are. Your a witch." Wendelin stared at the by she knew as James Black,

"I'm a what?" She asked, eyes wide, and with that she forgot Dudley and he fell to the ground while Wendy stared at the wizarding hero.

An:- Yeah this chapter is quite short. Sorry. Next chapter, Harry confronts Ms. Boyd about her daughter and Harry returns to looking for a way to clear Sirius' name. And before I go a big thanks toXxJohnny.Pacar-fanxX
