Chapter 2: Meeting the New Neighbors
It was a little passed midday where at little number 4 P.D. the clanging of dishes could be heard. Harry was doing the dishes. Today was his cousin Dudley's birthday. Harry sighed, how he wished someone would genuinely wish him well on his own day of birth. However, that was not to be…Fate was a bitch. His back still burned from the beating earlier this morning for not making Dudley's favorite breakfast food perfect. Harry focused on doing the dishes as way to distract himself from the pity party and the pain of his back. Dudley was looking out the window when he saw a car pull up to the house in front of them that had been empty for the past year.
"Mummy look! Someone is moving into the house across the street!" he yells to Petunia .
Petunia stopped fussing at her husband for a moment and went to look. Sure enough a green and black car was parked in front of the house that never sold for years.
"My word, the rumors were true. Someone actually bought the house." Petunia was astonished to say the least.
The house never sold. Many people thought it was cursed or something of the like. Those people had no idea how right they were, cursed it was but in a good way, for magic folk anyway. That house was meant to be occupied by wizards and/or witches who wished to incorporate muggle life with their magic one. Vernon walked over and joined the family in the staring of the newcomers out from the living room. Three figures step out of the car, two males and one female. Their eyes widened at how tall they were, freakishly tall to be exact. All three of them were gorgeous. The tallest of three had short black hair, pale skin, very muscular, a slender frame, broad shoulders, and a succulent arse (according to Petunia in her mind). The second tallest was more lean, still broad shouldered, also black hair that fell to his shoulders, a soul patch, nice arse (Petunia once again), and honey colored skin. The shortest of the three; being the young lady, was lean with an hour glass shape, caramel kissed skin, long bright red hair that stopped at her juicy arse (Vernon and Dudley, don't kill me for emphasizing the attraction to arses). All three of the Dursleys were literally salivating at the sight of the three youngsters.
The young female rounded the car and opened the trunk as the moving truck came up to them. The two boys begun to unload the back seat of the car and the trunk, seeing this Vernon got an idea on a way to not drag the freak along nor leave him alone in the house with his freakish magic. Vernon smirked with glee, today could not have gone better.
"Boy, get your scrawny arse in here!" he bellowed.
Harry nearly dropped the plate he was soaping up as he was startled by the shout. They had been so quiet that he actually thought they had left already.
'Thank goodness for small miracles.' He thought as he caught the plate before it broke in the sink. Quickly he set the plate down as he calmed his heart from the mini heart attack he just suffered.
"Yes Uncle Vernon." Replied Harry as he scurried to the living room. Once there, he saw his family huddled in the window staring across the street.
"Grab your coat boy. We are greeting the new neighbors. Do not speak unless spoken to, am I understood?" Harry nervously nodded his head frantically. With that they left and made their way to new the neighbors.
Boxes, bags, cases, and miscellaneous littered the ground around the house and vehicles. The young men had already taken the heavy stuff and made their way into the house. Once Etienne managed to open the door and entered, he groaned. "Damn, you weren't kidding when you said it was bland and would need lots of work. We practically have to destroy the inside and reconstruct it!" Ethan and Knives chuckled at their brother's obvious distress. Now their sister was left grouping things in groups of order to be brought in. As Knives picked a crate she heard someone call out to her.
"Excuse me! Hi you must be the new neighbors!"
Knives turned to the source of the voice. She saw four figures make their way across the street. As far she could tell they were two whales, a horse faced woman, and a young anorexic boy.
"Why yes we are. And who might you be?"
"We are the Dursleys from across the street at number 4. I am Vernon, this is my lovely wife Petunia. This here is my pride and joy, my son Dudley." Vernon introduced them with his chest puffed out in obvious pride. Petunia smiled and said hello while Dudley blushed and squeaked out a hello. Knives greeted each one politely until her eyes settled on Harry. She noticed how Vernon failed to introduce the teen and the down trotted look as he kept his eyes glued to the ground. Vernon saw that Knives had noticed Harry; barely containing his disgust he grunted an introduction.
"This is my nephew Harry Potter, troublesome boy." Harry flinched before he could contain himself at the obvious hate in his Uncle's voice. Knives was taken aback by the hostility towards the teen.
"Hello miss." Replied Harry as he looked up at her. His killer green eyes, though clouded by sadness and defeat, widened at he saw just how tall she was. He barely reached to her bosom. Knives wondered what had happened to the poor kid. The other two had come out from the house and saw their sister talking to a family, probably neighbors. But they could see her attention was focused on the frail looking teen, leisurely they took their spots by their sister; Etienne on her left and ethan on her right. Harry trembled in fear at the three huge people.
"I am Willow, pleased to meet you all. This giant next to me is my younger brother Etienne and this other giant is our baby brother Ethan. Boys these are the Dursleys from Number 4 across the street with their nephew Harry." Each greeted the family.
"You seem to have still many things to move inside. Why don't you allow Harry here to help out?"
"Oh no, we couldn't take such an offer Mr. Dursley. It looks like you and your family is going out. We do not wish to hold you up."
"Nonsense, consider it as a welcoming gift from us"
"I'm sure between my brothers and I, we can manage."
Ethan and Etienne took that as their cue to return to moving all the stuff in. Knives once again looked to Harry straight in his eyes; those breathe taking eerie green eyes. Seeing them dull even more made her heart got out to the boy. He was probably just a misunderstood young man.
"Please Miss Willow, take our nephew and put him to work. Lord knows he does nothing but lazy around the house. The boy could use some hard work to build a better character. It's one of the reasons we have sent him to St. Brutus for the ill-behaved boys." Insisted Petunia.
Knives contemplated the offer, should she allow it and find a way to bring some life back into those eyes or let him be. That was until Ethan screamed out spiders, basement, and something about not going down there. Knives sighed in defeat.
"On second thought, I shall take you up on your offer."
Vernon grabbed Harry harshly and barely by the skin of his teeth managed to not to toss him to Willow. Harry still lost his balance and crashed into Willow. Willow caught Harry in her arms and stabilized him.
"Boy, I expect to treat them with the upmost respect, do what they tell do to, and no funny business am I clear?" Vernon hissed out.
Harry shakily regained his senses and whispered out a yes sir. Knives narrowed her eyes at the treatment of the teen. The signs showing were that of possible abuse. She wrapped her arms tighter around Harry discreetly in an attempt to calm the teen. With that the Dursleys bid farewell and made their back to their car, where they drove off to their destination.
"You alright Harry?" Knives asked concern coloring her voice. Harry blushed beet red and ducked his head stuttering out a yes. Harry was still wrapped in her arms, the heat of the hug was comforting and he did not wish to remove the arms even though he knew he had too. Knives nuzzled his head making him look up at her. The blush made him look cute and effeminate, bringing out his doe like eyes. As she observed the teen, his face showed nothing but his eyes begged her not to let go. He was so cute, his heart shaped face, button nose, hair so black it shined blue, and so tiny that her body could have been used as shield for him. Knives decided to help Harry, it looked like he needed a big sister.
"Hey no need to be embarrassed little one. I won't bite or hurt you and neither will the other two. Now do me a favor and grab the paper bags so I can take the crate." Knives released Harry feeling his body sag in disappointment. Grabbing what was needed the two went inside the house, chaos ensued. Etienne came into the hall running to close the door. Knives tells harry to place the bags in the kitchen where an oak table stood, courtesy from the previous owners. As harry enters he sees the long haired brother working on the stereo. Once the brother had the stereo up and running, he attached his ipod to it. A dark beat that consisted of drums and guitar was emitting from the speakers. Harry had never heard such melody to his ears. 'What kind of music is this? It makes me want to lose control, bring out the anger, scream, growl…..I…..Like it' Harry thought. As soon as that thought crossed his mind he heard singing.
Etienne: "All I ever asked of you…. is to be my….parasite…..the one infecting me…"
Ethan: "Tear out my heart…But it's all part of your sickness…and in health until death.."
Knives (growl distortion): "I won't let you bring me dooooooooownnn!
Look at me! Love is your medicine!"
Ethan and Etienne (clean/distorted): "Mine is adrenaline, the blood stains and gasoline fumes crawl back from hell again. After all it's where I've been after being with you"
Knives (clean): "I hate where I stand when I'm next to you….mother fucking parasite!
(distort) Keep your eyes away from my prize. You ARE what I despise. Every time you say; keep
away from me. Keep away from me!"
Etienne (clean): "I hate where I stand, when I'm next to you….mother fucking parasite!"
Ethan (distorted): "Our love is a wasteland, all because of you, mother fucking parasite!"
Knives (clean): "I hate, I hate, I hate you!
(distorted) You don't belong, you don't belong, belong"
All (clean): "I hate where I stand!"
The energy around the room was incredible as metal was played and sung. Never in his life had he felt such a huge hum of pure raw power coursing through his body. He saw the others bang their head and purposely collide with each other (also known as mosh pit), so he let the music sing in his body and he too head banged. The intensity shot up higher and higher, magic flowed out and burst vases as the completion of the song came. It seemed everyone had been seduced by the beat; skin glowed, faces flushed, sweat formed on their skin, bodies climaxed. Ethan, Etienne, and knives stared at Harry. Harry realized he had ejaculated in his trousers and lost control of his magic, hence the broken vases. Harry stared back in embarrassment and fear as he realized he did magic in front of muggles. 'This is bad.' He thought.
Phew! That was a long chapter but finally done. Will the siblings let the cat out of the bag or leave him in the dark? How will harry adapt to the culture of metal and all things angry? Stay tuned for the next chapter. For anyone who is curious the lyrics are not my own. They belong to my friends' band called Unknown Zodiac the song is parasite. You can look them up in youtube if you don't believe me. Anyways please rate and/or review. tootles.
