Chapter One – Korrine and Harry Potter the freaks
A loud bang sounded in the small cupboard underneath the stairs.
"Get up you ungrateful good for nothing freaks and start cooking breakfast!!" Was the first thing both the small Potter children heard almost every morning. Two sets of deep emerald green eyes opened and quickly adjusted to the darkness around them in the small space that they were in.
"Come on Kori, time to get up." ten-year-old Harry Potter whispered quietly to his nine year old sister who was attempting to nestle back into the small rag like blankets in the cot they shared that was under the cupboard of the staircase.
"Mmmhh…" was the only response he got from his sister. Harry softly shook his sister. Who moved around and finally sat up. "Alright Harry I'm up."
"Good, we don't want them to get mad at us do we?" Harry said rhetorically but he received a reply anyway.
"No! We def-definitely don't want that at all. I don't want to be punished." Kori stuttered as they both climbed out of the cupboard and headed into the kitchen where Harry immediately started grabbing pots and pans and turning on the stove while Kori gathered the ingredients from around the kitchen and they set to work cooking breakfast as usual for their family.
"Here let's make pancakes." She said and started to hand him the ingredients for pancakes.
Her brother looked at her strangely.
"Why? We won't get any." He said the in a lowered tone so for sure that the others wouldn't hear. "The whale's are gonna eat it all as usual." He told her with a small smirk on his face but started to make them none the less. Kori giggled slightly at what her brother had said.
"What if we make extras and they are really small? Dudley doesn't like to eat small ones an-and Uncle Vernon only has enough time before he leaves anyway. It could work right?" Kori said. "Cause I really want pancakes. Even if they are small anything is better than nothing."
Harry gave his sister a smile. "Sounds like a plan Kori… Let's just hope it works." He said and continued to make breakfast. "You wanna flip one?" he asked his sister who vehemently shook her head back and forth with slightly wide eyes.
"No-no way last time I did I messed them up and Aunt Petunia got real mad. I so don't want a repeat of that." She said to her brother touching the side of her face at the memory of her punishment for ruining breakfast. While the woman that was their aunt was all skin and bones she knew how to slap pretty hard.
Harry nodded to his sister and went to flip the pancake and let out a hiss as he did so setting the spatula down on the counter as his hand went to softly touch his back where there were fresh open wounds from the day before were.
"Here I-I'll do it." She said and took the spatula from the counter and carefully flipped one of the pancakes. She smiled, proud of herself for not messing it up and she set it onto a plate then poured more batter into the frying pan.
"I thought you said you didn't want to flip them." Harry said to his sister while still trying to rub away the sting in his back from where the lashing of a belt buckle had broken skin.
"I don't but your hurt and if me flipping the pancakes is going to ease your pain I'll do it." She said to her brother with a smile. "You take care of me all the time it's my turn. Be-besides we are all each other has." She said to her brother with a smile as she flipped the next pancake. "Actually I'm not so bad at it. I think it's just the fear of Uncle Vernon that ma-makes me nervous." She said to him and continued to make the pancakes.
Harry smiled at his sister and gave her a quick one armed hug. Then he headed towards the fridge, pulling out the eggs and bacon, he stepped next to his sister at the stove and began to cook them.
"Harry" she started and bit her lip- a nervous habit of hers. "How'd you talk to that snake the other day at the zoo?" She asked in a hushed tone recalling the incident that had caused the new wounds on her brothers back.
Harry stopped mid stir of the eggs at his sister's question before he continued. "To be honest, no clue I just started talking to him and he seemed to understand me." He said with a shrug of his shoulders that caused a wince to appear on his face but he never stopped cooking.
"But Harry I heard you, you weren't talking to it you where hissing at it. It sounded so weird and creepy. I'm not scared or anything just curious is all."
Harry let out a sigh. "Well Kori I don't know what to tell you I have no clue. Besides we better not talk about it unless we want another lashing." He said. Kori nodded and finished using the last of the batter just as their aunt Petunia walked into the kitchen.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Vernon likes his food at the table before he gets down here!" She snapped at them and took her spot at the table.
"Yes Aunt Petunia." Both siblings said at the same time and shared a small smirk with each other. While Kori grabbed the large plate of pancakes and set it on the table, Harry followed her with a plate of eggs and another of bacon.
"Get out of my way! Both of you freaks!" Vernon snapped as he walked into the dining room.
Both Harry and Kori immediately stepped away from the table and headed back into the kitchen area.
"So-so-sorry Uncle Vernon." Kori stuttered and clasped her hands behind her back looking away from her uncle.
Vernon ignored her apology and tucked into his meal, as Dudley finally entered the dining dressed in his smelting uniform.
"Oh look at my precious Dudders doesn't he look amazing!" She said and gave Harry and Kori a stern look. "Doesn't he look amazing?!" Petunia snapped at them.
"Yes Aunt Petunia." Both Potter kids said with a sigh but they both had fake smiles on their faces.
"Ow!" Kori exclaimed grabbing the back of her head as she turned to glare at her cousin. Dudley gave her a smirk and held his smelting stick high. "What did you do that for you great big…" she said with a glare stopping mid sentence when Dudley lifted up the stick as if he was going to swing at her again. Kori flinched bringing her hands quickly up in front of her face while Harry stepped in front of her glaring deeply at his cousin.
"Dudders come and eat your breakfast before it gets cold." Petunia said with a smile to her son. She did not acknowledge the fact that her son had hit Kori with his smelting stick.
Dudley smiled at her mother and walked past Kori and Harry. Then he sat down at the table and began to load his plate full of food. Although he halted as he already had half the pancakes on his plate.
"Why are these pancakes so small? I hate small pancakes!!!" he whined to his mother.
"Oh no need to worry sweetums here is a big one." Petunia said to her son while taking the small pancakes setting them on a plate and putting the bigger ones on Dudley's plate.
"Boy get over her!" She snapped at Harry.
"Coming Aunt Petunia." Harry said and walked forward towards his aunt.
Petunia grabbed the plate of small pancakes and with a little more than necessary force shoved the plate into Harry's stomach. "Get rid of these, now!" She said.
"Yes Aunt Petunia." Harry said and turned around away from the Dursley's. He smiled at his sister with a wink as he headed back into the kitchen and set the plate on the counter. He sneakily grabbed two small pancakes and turned away leaning on the counter and handed one to Korrine while he took a bite of his own. "Nice work sis, very nice work." He said with a smile.
Kori smiled at her brother and turned away from the Dursley's as well. She took a large bit of the dry pancake, savoring the taste not even caring that they didn't have butter or syrup on them.
"Don't just stand their girl go and get the post!" Vernon yelled at Korrine who jumped and spun around quickly swallowing what bit of pancake she had in her mouth and hiding the rest behind her back.
"Ri-right away Uncle Vernon." She said and scampered out of the kitchen, into the hall, and towards the front door where the post was laying on the ground. She put the rest of her pancake into her mouth. While chewing, she picked up the post and flipped through them making a face at the postcard from Vernon's evil sister Marge. She read it and smiled at what she read. 'Ha evil old wench is ill! That's what you get. A quell yeah right you probably got something from sharing your meals with your evil dog.' She thought, feeling in a slightly better mood as she headed back towards the kitchen. She stopped right as she entered the kitchen because staring up at her was a letter addressed to her brother.
Mr. H Potter
The cupboard under the stairs
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey
She looked at it bewildered but held it at her side and handed the rest of the mail to Vernon. She walked back over to Harry who was sneakily eating another pancake. "Har-Harry. It's a letter… for you." Korrine said as she held the letter out to him.
Harry stared at his sister in shock. No one had ever sent him or his sister a letter before. He took it and began to open it when Dudley had to open his big mouth.
"Dad! Dad! Harry's got a letter!" Dudley yelled.
Vernon halted from his onslaught of his meal as his head snapped up. "A letter to you? Who on earth would be sending you a letter." He said and stood up marching over to Harry. He grabbed the letter from his hand and looking at it while chuckling at the thought of someone sending him a letter. Vernon's chuckle immediately stopped and his hands started to shake as he saw the broken seal that he had only seen once before over 10 years ago. They continued to shake as he saw the address on the envelope. 'The cupboard under the stairs' instantly caught his attention.
"Pe-Petunia!!" He yelped in an unmanly shriek.
Petunia stood up and quickly walked over to her husband looking at the letter, she caught sight of the seal and let out a gasp of horror.
"Vernon." She said in a whisper.
"Out! Out! OUT! All of you now!" He yelled regaining his voice and started to usher the three children out of the room.
"But dad I want to read the letter! Let me read the letter!" Dudley whined and hit his father in the leg with his smelting stick.
"It's my letter! Let me read it!" Harry exclaimed while Kori timidly walked out of the kitchen wanting to avoid her uncle's wrath and his fist.
"Out!" Vernon yelled and shoved both Harry and Dudley out of the kitchen and locked the door behind them.
Dudley, Harry, and Korrine all stared at each other for a moment before Harry and Dudley began to fight over who got to listen in the key hole. After a swift hit with his smelting stick, Dudley won while Harry laid on the ground listening underneath the door. Kori had joined in leaning against the door and tried to listen in as well. She was careful so she did not to step on her brother.
They could only hear muffled words.
"He's not going to that school Hogwarts. Petunia, I will not have any of that ho ha nonsense in my house!"
"Did you see the address Vernon, cupboard under the stairs. Do you think… That they are watching us? Could they be watching us?"
Kori pulled her head back and looked at her brother. "Who sent you that letter and what's Hogwarts?" She whispered to him.
Harry looked up at his sister and shook his head back and forth. "I don't know Kori. No clue." He said.
Author's Note- So I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think. Love it? Hate it? Please review!
Also, the reason that Kori didn't get a letter is because she is only nine at the moment. The reason that Harry got a letter when he's only ten is because it is how it was in the book. He got the first letter a couple of days before his birthday. I hope that makes sense.
