Harry's POV

Harry Potter was jolted out of his dream by the voice of none other than Dudley Dursley.

"Wake up cousins! We're going to the zoo!" Dudley hollered, running down the stairs. Harry groaned. Dudley's birthday, how could he have forgotten?

"Coming." He mumbled, opening the cupboard door.

"Oh, here he comes! The birthday boy!" Petunia greeted her son, arms wide.

"Hello, Shade!" She cheerfully greeted Harry's twin before turning to Harry.

"And you, Potter. Why don't you just make breakfast. And don't burn anything, I want all to be perfect for Dudley! Oh, and Shade, I think Dudley would greatly appreciate the presents." Petunia said warmly, nodding to the two gifts in Shade's hands.

Dudley smiled wide, accepting the presents from Shade. "Thank you Shade! I see why mum favor you more than the other Potter."

Shade smiled before winking. "Ah, i'm quite a charmer, aren't I?"

Turning to Harry, she barked, "Why are you just standing there, brother dearest, don't you have a meal to cook?" She sneered.

Harry sighed. You would think the twins have a perfect relationship. Well, it's not the case here. "Yes, mum."

SLAP!

Harry reeled from the force of Dudley's blow. "Don't you dare talk to her as if she's an equal to you! She's far more appealing than you!" Dudley roared.

Shade smirked, wrapping her arms around Dudley. "Come on now, Dud, it's not his fault he made some bad decisions! It's his parents fault."

Harry gasped in outrage. "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TALK ABOUT OUR PARENTS LIKE THAT!"

Shade scoffed. "Just go cook, the zoo isn't going to be open forever!"

Shade's POV

"Make it move!" Dudley ordered his father. The boa constrictor remained tucked. Shade grew impatient by the snake.

She stalked over. "Move, now." She hissed. The snake moved.

Dudley looked at Shade in horror. "What did you say?"

Shade looked confused. "What do you mean? I just told it to move!"

"No you wasn't you were speaking snake!" Dudley accused her.

Shade burst into tears. "I'm a monster." She whispered.

Dudley shook his head. "No you're not. You didn't know. Come on, let's go."

As soon as they left, Harry took over.

"Mummy! Daddy! Come! Harry's talking to the snake!" Dudley shouted. Just then, the glass vanished. Shade and Dudley toppled into the cage, as the snake ran out. Petunia gasped as she saw her son and foster daughter. "My dear children, how did you end up there?"

Harry's POV

It was Harry and Shade's birthday. But as usual, Harry remained forgotten. Shade got as many presents as Dudley got. Instead of the house though, they were in a little cottage.

BANG!

The door fell over. A giant man stood outside. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Shade screamed.

Petunia and Vernon stood in front of Shade and Dudley protectively.

The man chuckled. "Rubeus Hagrid, keeper of Keys and Grounds of Hogwarts."

"Erm, would you please elaborate? What the bloody hell is a hogwart?"

"What is a hogwart? Blimey Shade, did you ever wonder where your parents learned it all?" Hagrid asked confused.

"Oh, so specific! Learned what?!"

"You mean they told you nothing?! NOTHING?!"

He must have been told by my confused face.

"Yer a wizard Harry. And... Yer a witch, Shade." I noticed his voice faltered a little after telling me.

I rolled my eyes. "No sh*t, Sherlock! I'm a witch, alright! A rather bitchy one, right Dudley?"

Dudley managed a small smile, but was still shaking.

I pretty much zoned out for the rest of the conversation, that is, however, until Hagrid gave Dudley a pig tail. "Woah, that's a bit too far, mister!" I shouted as he whipped his umbrella towards him again. The flash bounced right off of me. It hit Hagrid with such a force, even he had to back up a bit.

"Shade, Harry, yer coming with me, no matter what."
