Chapter 1: Making A New Start
~30 June, King's Cross Station~
The school year had come to an end. Yoni Potter had just completed her first year at Duel Academy. She had returned to the UK on a private jet belonging to Industrial Illusions' CEO, Maximillion Pegasus. Her return to England didn't go down well with Chazz Princeton. He wanted her and her brother, Harry Potter, to come and live with him as a family. Together with Harry, she had become Chazz's adoptive siblings, after his older brothers had disinherited him. She had promised Chazz that she would check with her aunt and uncle whether he could move in with them. She would pass it on as soon as possible. When she landed at Heathrow Airport by private jet, her uncle – Uncle Vernon Dursley – picked her up there. Now in the Muggle world, they stood on the platform at King's Cross Station waiting for Harry at the magical gate.
While waiting, Uncle Vernon stood some distance away from Mr and Mrs Weasley. He was eyeing them somewhat suspiciously.
Yoni had immediately recognized Mr and Mrs Weasley thanks to their signature Weasley fiery red hair. Only she hadn't gone up to them at the time. She continued to wait patiently for her brother next to Uncle Vernon.
A moment later, Fred, George, Harry, Ron, and Hermione passed together through the magical gate of platform 9 ¾ into the Muggle World.
Yoni watched as her little brother was pressed warmly against her chest by Mrs Weasley. She knew that this confirmed Uncle Vernon's suspicions about who she was. She approached her two best friends, Fred and George Weasley. She was happy to see them again. She hadn't seen them this school year or last summer holidays. They had written to each other very often. She had told them all about her new friends, her classes at Duel Academy, and the adventures she had there. She had also told them that she adopted someone as a brother and why she had done so. Apparently, they couldn't wait to meet this new brother. Only she was very sure that they were rather going to tease him. Which wouldn't be a good idea at all if they did.
"I'll still call for the World." She heard Ron call, when Harry had said goodbye to him and Hermione.
Yoni closely followed her younger brother to Uncle Vernon, after saying goodbye to Fred and George with the promise to write to them during the summer holidays.
Harry wheeled his cart with his trunk and Hedwigs' cage over to Uncle Vernon, who greeted him in his supposedly usual manner.
"What is that?" Uncle Vernon snapped, staring at the envelope Harry was holding in his hand. "Not another form I've to sign, right? You can..."
"Not at all." Harry said cheerfully, as he was greeted warmly by his big sister with a hug. "It's a letter from my godfather."
"Your godfather?" Yoni asked surprised and frowning as she held him at arms length to have a better look at him.
"Godfather?" Uncle Vernon spluttered. "You have no godfather at all!"
"Yes, I've." Harry said brightly. "He was our mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he has broken out of the wizard prison. He's now on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me... asking how I'm doing... checking whether I'm happy... and getting to know Yoni."
Yoni and Harry saw Uncle Vernon's horrified face. Together they walked to the station exit, Hedwigs' cage rattling on the cart. This summer could turn out to be a lot better than the last.
Harry pushed his cart up to Uncle Vernon's car, while Yoni walked next to him.
"A convicted murderer? Really?" She whispered to him.
"No, that's all a lie by the Ministry of Magic. They locked him up in Azkaban without a trial. According to them, he was guilty of betraying our parents and murdering twelve Muggles and Peter Pettigrew, who was friends with him and Dad." He told her softly. "He was actually framed by Pettigrew."
Yoni stopped walking abruptly to look at him in shock, before catching up to him again.
"You got to be kidding me!" She said loudly, fortunately not too loudly. "Wow, our own wizarding community really has screwed up a lot in the Justice Department. Did they have enough evidence against him to just throw him in jail?"
"Apparently there were the testimonies of the surviving Muggles of the explosion – which had killed the twelve Muggles and supposedly Pettigrew, due to his family name being Black and that everyone thought that he was the Secret Keeper of our location, believing that he had the information onto Voldemort enough to do so." Harry continued.
Yoni frowned and asked: "His family name? Why are they even accusing him of crimes he didn't even commit based on his family name?"
"The Black family is apparently known as a pure-blood wizarding family that has a great dislike for Muggles. A family full of dark wizards and witches who were part of Voldemort's campaign." He explained.
Yoni looked at him in annoyance and muttered: "Morons, that's what we've in our Ministry of Magic. So set backward in their ways that they think that they're still living in the Middle Ages. They would better keep up with the times and continue to evolve, like the rest of the world. Really, how do they even think of accusing someone of a crime that they didn't even commit because of a family name or because of their beliefs? How ridiculous is that."
They reached Uncle Vernon's car. Their uncle opened the trunk lid.
Yoni helped Harry to load his heavy trunk into the car trunk next to hers.
Uncle Vernon was already getting into the car behind the wheel.
Harry returned his cart to the station's entrance.
Yoni closed the car trunk lid again and put Hedwigs' cage on the backseat next to Harena's wicker carrier. She got in the front seat next to Uncle Vernon, just as Harry came back.
Harry got into the back of the car and put a hand on Hedwigs' cage, so it wouldn't fall over during the car ride.
Uncle Vernon started the engine and then backed out of the parking space. He drove out of the car park and onto the track towards Little Whinging.
~Number Four Privet Drive~
The car ride was in silence and the Potter siblings were looking out the window.
It took more than an hour for Uncle Vernon to drive the car into the driveway of Number Four.
Everyone got out of the car as soon as the engine stopped running.
Yoni took the wicker carrier from the backseat, while Harry took Hedwigs' cage when getting out.
Uncle Vernon opened the car trunk lid and helped Harry unload the two heavy trunks.
Yoni watched in surprise as their uncle took her trunk to the front door to open it.
Oh yeah, Uncle Vernon had never really been a cruel man to his niece and nephew. The cruelty he displayed towards them in public was just a facade that many people often fell for. In fact, he and his wife loved their niece and nephew. They saw them just like they were their own children.
It still surprised Yoni sometimes when Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia treated her and Harry cruelly in front of other people and suddenly changed their behavior at home.
Harry dragged his trunk to the front door with Hedwigs' cage in the other hand.
Yoni closed the car trunk lid again. She and Harry stood behind Uncle Vernon at the front door.
Uncle Vernon put the key in the keyhole. He turned it and the front door clicked open. He took the key from the hole and entered the entrance hall.
Yoni and Harry closely followed him inside.
Yoni closed the door behind them. She then looked back at the entrance hall. She was surprised by what she saw.
The carpets from in the hall and on the stairs were both out of place, but were rolled up against the wall. There were even several piles of full boxes.
"Put your stuff down here and come with me to the living room." Uncle Vernon said with a grunt and put Yoni's trunk down.
Yoni and Harry watched him blankly as he waddled further down the hall and disappeared into the living room doorway. They looked at each other for a moment. They shrugged their shoulders, put everything down, and followed him. They paused in the doorway. In the living room, they saw even more boxes. The walls were bare. The cabinets were almost empty and some had already been taken apart.
Their cousin, Dudley Dursley, sat nervously in the double seat. He wore his Smeltings uniform with the matching straw hat on his thick blond hair. His piggish blue eyes darted nervously.
Aunt Petunia sat in one of the two single armchairs with an open box in front of her on the coffee table with some picture frames next to it.
"Take a seat." Uncle Vernon said sitting down in the remaining single armchair.
Reluctantly, Harry sat down on the sofa next to Dudley. His sister sat down next to him on the armrest.
Aunt Petunia looked up from the box and picture frames. She stopped rummaging through the box.
"Alright Dad, can you finally tell us what's going on here?" Dudley asked awkwardly.
"Calm down, Dudleykins. Your father will explain everything to you. Just let him have his say first and please don't interrupt him." Aunt Petunia said calmly, yet sternly to get her point across.
Yoni crossed her arms and nodded in agreement.
Dudley looked frustrated. It seemed like he didn't really like his mother's answer. He then looked at his father. He saw him give him an angry, impatient look, which made him nod hastily.
Harry simply nodded.
"Alright, as all three of you've already noticed, there are boxes all over the house. We'll be leaving this house in a few days." Uncle Vernon explained calmly. "We're not going to sell the house right away. We can still change our mind about that. In a moment, all three of you'll go to your room. You'll be given some boxes to put all your things in for the move."
Just like they were in class, Yoni raised her hand. She waited patiently to be allowed to speak.
"Yes, Yoni." Uncle Vernon said softly.
"Where are we going to live when we leave this house? Why are we moving?" She asked curiously.
Their uncle chuckled softly at her curiosity and said: "Calm down, I was getting there. It's a good thing that you asked."
"Come on, Dad! Answer those stupid questions! My show 'America's Hardest Prisons' starts soon!" Dudley said angrily and impatiently.
Yoni rolled her eyes. She felt that her cousin hadn't changed a bit. According to her, he would never really change or have respect for his parents or others. She also knew that he was still angry about his humiliating Duel Academy qualifying match, which she had passed.
"Dudley Dursley! At least give your father the chance to answer those questions. Unfortunately, you will have to miss your show. After this, you are going to get changed and pack some of your things into boxes in your room!" Aunt Petunia said angrily and frustrated as she pointed threateningly at her son.
Dudley cowered, startled. He really hadn't expected that reaction from his mother.
Yoni and Harry looked at their aunt in surprise with wide eyes. They definitely hadn't expected this from her. She'd always let Dudley do his own thing and spoiled him far too much.
"Thank you, Petunia! Where was I?" Uncle Vernon said to his wife before continuing with his explanation. "Ah, now I remember. We are moving to the State of California in the United States. There is a town by the sea called Crystal Cove. That is where we will be living. The Grunnings company also has a branch over there. My boss has sent me there to work in that branch. Next Thursday we'll leave this house and Great Britain. We have about a week to pack everything. We are also going to leave the old and worn furniture and decorations behind. We'll buy new ones in Crystal Cove anyway."
Yoni and Harry looked at one another in surprise when they heard all that.
"How long will we stay in Crystal Cove?" Harry asked curiously.
Dudley rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Aunt Petunia looked at him sharply, but smiled at Harry.
"Well Harry, we don't really know yet. That will depend on your uncle's boss. There is a chance that he'll be called back here or he could continue working in Crystal Cove permanently." She said calmly and thoughtfully. "Hopefully we can continue living in Crystal Cove."
"We've also already registered you three at the local school, Crystal Cove High, for the new school year. We have also reported this to your schools." Uncle Vernon informed them. "Harry, you'll continue your magical training the same way as your sister does. This will be done through self-study. Yoni, in addition to your magical self-study, you'll also do the same for your studies at Duel Academy. For the practical exams at Duel Academy, you'll have to do those duels either online via video chat or your opponent will come to Crystal Cove. Chancellor Sheppard had said that you'll have to be present on the island when a Duel Monster tournament is being held. There you'll participate and the progress in the tournament will count on your final results for the school year."
Yoni nodded comprehensibly and said with a wry smile: "Dumbledore certainly wouldn't have thought that was a good idea once he'd heard we were moving."
The older Dursleys both nodded and Aunt Petunia said: "Yes, it certainly is. We didn't tell him the new address as a precaution. That way he wouldn't come and interfere with our lives anymore. I think you would to be somewhere else too. It will also be good for you two to go to another school. You'll probably be able to make new friends there too. We also want to give you a chance to continue your Muggle education."
Yoni and Harry nodded in agreement. They liked the idea. They had both really wanted to continue their Muggle education alongside their wizarding education. However, Dumbledore often put a stop to that. Yoni had managed to go to Duel Academy right under his nose last school year. There she learned all about the famous Duel Monsters cards, but that wasn't the same as an education that they had been following since childhood. This time they'll be able to continue it in Crystal Cove without Dumbledore being able to stop them.
"This is going to be a very exciting new adventure. Don't you think so, Harry?" Yoni said very excited and grinning.
Harry smiled shyly and nodded.
"Yes, sounds like fun." He said laughing. "Finally, a normal and quiet school year. Well, I hope so."
Yoni grinned and got up.
"We better start packing our things." She suggested smiling.
Harry nodded in agreement and got up. He walked with her to the door that led to the entrance hall.
"I'll bring you some boxes in a minute." Aunt Petunia said smiling, as she stood up too.
"Leave your trunks downstairs. I'll bring them up for you." Uncle Vernon said from his seat.
Dudley hadn't moved. He stubbornly remained on the couch.
Yoni and Harry had stepped back into the entrance hall. There one took Hedwig's cage, while the other took Harena's carrier. Then they walked to the stairs next to the front door.
"Dudley, go upstairs! Get changed and pack your things." They heard Aunt Petunia say to Dudley.
"No, I'll do that later, Mom. Or just let those two pack up all my stuff." They heard Dudley say very arrogantly to his mother. "All I'm going to do now is watch my TV show."
The Potter siblings had gone up the stairs and were halfway up when they heard Uncle Vernon yelling at Dudley.
"YOU CAN'T TALK TO YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT, DUDLEY! THE TV STAYS OFF! YONI AND HARRY AREN'T GOING TO PACK ANYTHING OF YOURS! YOU'RE GOING TO THAT ALL BY YOURSELF!" Their uncle roared in anger. "WE'LL START YOUR DIET RIGHT AWAY TOO! NOW YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THOSE TWO BIG TRUNKS UPSTAIRS!"
Yoni and Harry had reached the top floor, when they heard Uncle Vernon's heavy footsteps coming into the hallway. These were followed by Dudley's heavy stomping footsteps. They then each walked to the door of their own room.
Yoni opened her bedroom door and stepped inside. She walked over to the bed and placed Harena's carrier on it. She opened it and the Lynx cub slowly crawled out. The animal stretched its back and legs. She started to pet her head and the Lynx purred loudly.
Suddenly there was a tap on the window. Yoni stopped petting Harena. She walked over to the window. She saw her owl Prudentia sitting outside the window. She opened the window. Prudentia hopped inside onto the windowsill.
The owl then spread her wings and flew further into the room. She then flew to her perch across the room.
Yoni looked around the room to see what could already be packed, what could be packed later or could be left behind. She already started by opening her wardrobe, bookcase, bedside table, and the drawers of her desk to see what was in there. She even went to take a look under her bed. While she was on her hands and knees looking under the bed, Harena suddenly jumped from the bed onto her back.
Yoni turned her head and chuckled softly. She saw Harena sitting on her back. She brought an arm back. She put a hand on Harena's back. She slowly stood up. Her Lynx cub crawled towards her mistress' shoulder.
Harena carefully crawled up. She knew that her claws were quite sharp. She could hurt her mistress like that. She settled on her shoulders like a fur scarf around her neck. She began to purr softly in contentment as soon she was laying down properly.
Yoni smiled and scratched behind Harena's ears making her purr even louder. She heard two pairs of heavy footsteps climbing up the stairs.
"Dad, that trunk is extremely heavy! I'll never get it up the stairs!" Dudley whined to his father.
"I don't care! You're going to take that trunk and the other one upstairs!" Uncle Vernon shouted angrily from the bottom of the stairs. "You're going to do this without complaining!"
"But Dad!" Dudley whined from halfway up the stairs.
"NOW I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR NAGGING, DUDLEY! FROM NOW ON, YOU'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE ASK YOU TO DO!" Uncle Vernon bellowed angrily. "YOUR MOTHER AND I ASKED YOU TO TAKE OFF YOUR UNIFORM! YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST THAT! YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THOSE TRUNKS UPSTAIRS AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO START PACKING UP ALL YOUR THINGS! IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT WE TELL YOU TO DO, THEN THE TV WILL NOT BE TURNED ON AGAIN FOR THE LAST WE ARE HERE IN THIS HOUSE! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!"
Then it became quiet for a moment. There was only panting and banging on the steps from the trunk, which also collided with the walls.
Not much later, Yoni heard that the trunk had landed hard on the floor at the top of the stairs.
"Dudley, be careful with that!" Aunt Petunia shrieked from the living room.
Dudley growled softly, but it could still be heard by Yoni.
'Dudley will never learn it.' Yoni thought with a sign.
Prudentia seemed to have read her mind as she hooted in agreement from her perch.
From where she stood, Yoni could hear the door to Harry's room being thrown open without anyone knocking. There too, the same thumping sounded as before at the top of the stairs. Now for a moment, she had no idea why the trunk had fallen. Had it simply fallen? Or had Dudley simply dropped it in frustration to have his protest clearly communicated to everyone?
"DUDLEY DURSLEY! HOW DARE YOU! DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER AND I TEACH YOU ANY MANNERS AT ALL?!" Uncle Vernon bellowed in anger, and Yoni could almost swear the entire house trembled by the volume of his voice. "BEFORE YOU ENTER A ROOM SOMEWHERE, YOU ALWAYS KNOCK ON THE DOOR FIRST! YOU CERTAINLY DO THAT AT A BATHROOM, A BEDROOM OR AN OFFICE! YOU ALSO TREAT OTHER PEOPLE'S THINGS WITH RESPECT! NOW GO GET THAT OTHER TRUNK! AND THIS TIME A LITTLE FASTER AND MORE CAREFULLY PLEASE! DON'T THINK YOU'LL GET OUT OF THIS! I WILL DEFINITELY DISCUSS THIS WITH YOUR MOTHER!"
Dudley whimpered softly. His footsteps hurriedly left Harry's room and down the stairs.
Shortly afterwards there was a knock on the door. Yoni looked up from Harena in surprise.
"Come in." She said clearly and the door opened.
Uncle Vernon entered the room. He left the door open behind him.
"Is everything okay, Uncle Vernon?" She asked worried, seeing how tired he looked.
Uncle Vernon sighed softly and said: "I'm at a loss. I honestly have no idea where we went wrong with Dudley's upbringing."
Yoni pursed her lips for a moment, thinking about it. She clearly remembered how Chazz behaved before she adopted him into the family. He was a lot like Dudley in behavior due to being raised in a very wealthy family. Perhaps worse. However, that had already been somewhat toned down by his reapplication to Duel Academy, which had put him in Slifer Red and not back in Obelisk Blue. She knew Dudley would exhibit such behavior towards Chazz. It wouldn't be possible to force his own will upon him. No, she knew Chazz would use his own rich-guy behavior to scare Dudley. So that he would no longer cross any boundaries with him, with her or with Harry in order to get his way.
"Well, it's not really my place to say anything about where things might have gone wrong with Dudley's upbringing. I've noticed a few things that Dudley is lacking. I think he has very little respect for other people of their things. Not even for his own things. He has little sense of personal responsibility. He is very ungrateful. He can be very selfish and demanding. He can also be very manipulative. He is a big bully, who targets children who are a lot younger and weaker than him." She said calmly and honestly.
Her uncle looked at her for a moment in shock. It seemed like there were certain things he didn't know about his own son yet.
"So, it's true about all the bullying." He said sighing and disappointed, as he stood by the door. "We were able to look at Dudley's school report at Smeltings. It contained very poor school results, but also several reports of bullying. We will certainly change all that. However, it will not be that easy. He'll therefore have to do his best at school, for such bad results will be the last."
They heard Dudley's heavy footsteps slowly coming back up the stairs and shuffling down the hall towards them.
"Come on Dudley, we can do that a little faster." Uncle Vernon grunted at him.
Dudley started shuffling his feet forward faster. He hurriedly entered the room. With great difficulty, he placed the trunk on the bed.
"Good, now go to your room. There you will take off your uniform and put on something else." Uncle Vernon commanded calmly. "Then you bring your uniform downstairs so your mother can wash it. Then I'll tell you what you're going to do next."
Dudley nodded hastily. He waddled as quickly as he could to his bedroom to get changed.
Uncle Vernon sighed deeply and was about to leave the room, before Yoni stopped him.
"Uncle Vernon, what's going to happen to Chazz when we move to Crystal Cove?" She asked thoughtfully.
Of course, she hoped Chazz could move in with them. Especially now since he was family.
Uncle Vernon smiled and said: "Well, your aunt and I discussed it after we decided to move. Chazz Princeton became our nephew after you adopted him as a brother. So we decided he could move with us to Crystal Cove. If he wants to, of course."
"Oh, really?" Yoni asked overjoyed and her uncle nodded in agreement. "That's fantastic. I'll let him know right away. I'll ask him if he wants to come live with us in Crystal Cove."
"Be sure to do that." Uncle Vernon said. "Also ask if he would mind sharing a room with Harry. The rooms in our new house are much larger and more spacious. Certainly enough room for two in one room."
After that, Uncle Vernon left the room to go back downstairs. He waited there for Dudley. He also had a glass of whiskey to calm down.
Yoni walked over to her bed. She took her cell phone out of her pocket as she sat down. She went to her contact list. She scrolled down until she came across Chazz's number. She pressed the green phone to start the call. She brought the phone to her ear.
It didn't take long for Yoni to hear: "You're speaking to the Chazz, the very best Duelist in Duel Monsters."
"Hey Chazz." She said chuckling. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at his huge ego.
"Oh, hey sis. Did you get home okay to your aunt and uncle?" Chazz asked curiously.
"Yes, Uncle Vernon picked me up at the airport before we went to pick up Harry from the train station." Yoni told her adoptive brother. "Oh, he and Aunt Petunia just told me some interesting news."
"Oh yeah?" Chazz asked curiously and on the other side, she could hear the annoying chatter of his three most annoying Duel Spirits, the Ojama Brothers.
"Are you three going to shut up now, you freaks?!" Chazz snapped at his annoying Duel Spirits in the background. "How am I supposed to know what my sister wants to tell me when you three are chatting incessantly?! Urgh, you guys are so annoying!"
Yoni shook her head smiling, as she listened to Chazz snapping at the three Ojama Brothers. Thanks to her magic, she could see and hear Duel Spirits. However, Chazz and her best friend Jaden had a special gift for that. This one was so special, very few people had it.
Chazz coughed briefly before saying: "Sorry sis, my three annoying shadows were being very annoying again. So, what interesting thing did your aunt and uncle have to say?"
"They're your aunt and uncle too, now that you're mine and Harry's brother. You just have a very annoying cousin now." She reminded him that he was now a Potter too as a Princeton.
"Oh, great." Chazz said sarcastically. "Surely just as annoying as the Ojamas or worse?"
"I don't know about you, but I find him even more annoying than the Ojama Brothers." Yoni admitted over the phone. She heard Chazz groaning on the other side.
"You were just about to tell me what our aunt and uncle had to say." He reminded her curiously.
"Oh yeah! They told us that we're moving g to America in a week." She said enthusiastically.
"Oh, really? Where exactly in America?" Chazz asked curiously.
"Crystal Cove. That's in California." She replied. "They said that you can move in with us, if you want. Uncle Vernon just said that, if you did want to move in with us, you would share a room with Harry. Don't worry about the size of the room. Uncle Vernon just assured me that the room is big enough for the both of you to have plenty of space for yourselves."
It made Chazz pause for a moment. He seemed to be considering his options.
"So, what do you think?" She asked curiously.
"Well, it's a very interesting and attractive offer." Chazz began slowly. "It also allows me to spend the entire summer holidays with my baby brother and older sister."
"So you're moving to Crystal Cove with us?" She asked hopefully and eagerly.
"Yes, I'm moving in with you. I've to. Who else will make sure you don't get into trouble." Chazz said playfully and somewhat naughty.
Yoni rolled her eyes with a smile and said: "We got into trouble? Trouble usually comes to us. With you, on the other hand, you get into trouble because of certain bizarre ideas."
"Oi!" Chazz shouted playfully insulted. "Alright, we're more likely to keep each other out of trouble."
"How will you move to Crystal Cove with us?" Yoni asked curiously. "Are you going to Crystal Cove yourself? Or are you going to have your things shipped there and travel with us?"
"Hmmm, I think I'll have my things shipped here to the house in Crystal Cove and then eventually travel there with you." He said thoughtfully. "I'll come a few days before departure. Maybe I can help a little with packing the last bit and get to know the Dursleys."
"That's a good idea. I'll let Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia know." Yoni said very happily.
"Alright, that's good." Chazz said. "I'll see you in a few days then. I'll make sure my things are shipped to the house in Crystal Cove by then."
"Alright, I'll see you then." Yoni said goodbye. "Bye Chazz, see you then. I'll send you the address of the house in Crystal Cove via text message."
"Alright, I'll have my things shipped there then. Bye sis, be sure to say hi to Harry and our aunt and uncle for me." Chazz said, ending the call.
Yonhi put her phone back in her pocket smiling. She opened her trunk. She started emptying them to see what she could pack into boxes.
Not much later, Yoni heard Dudley hurrying back down the stairs, while she continued to unpack her trunk.
Aunt Petunia came upstairs with six boxes. She brought three boxes each to both Harry's room and Yoni's.
Dudley had followed his mother upstairs, carrying several boxes. He immediately went to his room to start packing his things. His mother would help him with that. Well, she was rather going to keep an eye on him and tell him what he should pack already.
Suddenly, Dudley let out an angry shout from his room.
Yoni suspected that Aunt Petunia had told Dudley to pack something he hadn't wanted to pack just yet. She already had an idea of what that might have been. That would certainly have been his computer with all his computer games. She also understood why her aunt and uncle let him pack that as one of the first things. It was as if they knew he would be more likely to spend a week playing computer games than help packing. That wouldn't have surprised her if Dudley did that.
Yoni was repacking her trunk. Just her winter clothes, Hogwarts school robes, and Duel Academy jackets. She didn't need these clothes in the summer right now. In the first box, she packed her potion-brewing cauldron and the chest with crystal vials filled with ingredients. She also included her broom maintenance kit.
In the second box, Yoni put all her Hogwarts textbooks through her fifth year and any other books about the Wizarding World that she had. She even included all her textbooks from the first year at Duel Academy and all other books linked to the Duel Monsters game. She packed her broom and telescope in her trunk.
In the third box, Yoni put all her unused boxes of drawing pencils, crayons, and paint. On top of that, she put her paintbrushes and all the in-used boxes of drawing pencils, crayons, and paint. She made sure that a pencil case with crayons and a drawing pencil was still in her backpack for use during the flight to Crystal Cove.
Aunt Petunia entered the room, just as Yoni had finished packing her third box. She came to inform her that the full boxes could be closed with adhesive tape. They had to write their name on it with a marker and indicate whether it was fragile. Labels would then be placed on the boxes showing the address of the new house. These boxes would be picked up a few days before departure to be shipped to Crystal Cove.
Yoni told her aunt about Chazz's decision to move in with them, when they headed to Crystal Cove. Her aunt thought that it was really great news. She asked for the address in Crystal Cove so Chazz could have his things shipped there as well.
Aunt Petunia had left the room again. She had gone downstairs to pack some more boxes.
Yoni taped the three boxes closed with tape. She then wrote 'YLDP' with a green marker. Once that was done, she put the label with the address on it. She took out her phone again. She took a picture of the address on a label. She sent it to Chazz as promised.
As soon as she was done, Yoni went downstairs to ask for more boxes from Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. Then she took them upstairs to continue packing her things.
Later that evening, Yoni, Harry, and Dudley were called downstairs by Aunt Petunia for dinner.
Yoni entered the kitchen for the first time after being on Duel Academy Island for an entire school year. She noticed that the TV, which was there for Dudley, was gone. From the kitchen doorway, she could look into the living room. There she saw that the TV was gone too. Apparently, these were packed immediately. She broke into a small grin. She took a seat at the kitchen table. She also had a suspicion as to why the TVs had already been packed away. She watched as Dudley entered the kitchen. She saw his facial expression change as he stood in the doorway and noticed that the TV was gone.
"Where is the TV?" He asked slowly, frowning.
"It's already packed." Aunt Petunia said calmly, as she put the food on the table and sat down herself. "Just like the one in the living room."
"WHAT! WHY?!" He shouted angrily with clenched fists.
"To make sure there are no distractions for everyone for a week. We'll be busy packing." Uncle Vernon replied sternly, glaring at his son from where he sat at the table. "Sit and eat!"
Dudley sat down sullenly at the table. He studied his pre-served plate. His anger flared up again at the sight of what was on it and the amount of it. He jumped up from his chair, roaring. It looked like it was electrified. He started to shout at his parents, stomping his feet with a red face.
Dudley had a tantrum. Which was nothing new at all. Especially for those who knew him. He was so furious that his plate was filled with lots of vegetables. That was rather rabbit food for him. His portion was also much smaller than usual. He had also noticed that the Potter siblings' portions were slightly larger than they usually ate. He didn't like that. He had almost brought the whole neighborhood to a standstill with his shouting. But with a stern glare from his father, he was quickly silenced. He immediately became very quiet and hurriedly sat back down on his chair.
The rest of the dinner was spent in silence.
After dinner, Dudley immediately rushed upstairs. There he slammed his room's door closed.
Yoni rolled her eyes at Dudley's childish behavior. She also thought it was normal for him to roll up his sleeves and help packing. She also didn't understand why he was being so fussy about his diet. It actually saved his life. She couldn't wait for the week to be over to move to Crystal Cove. Especially since Chazz came to live with them. Before they could do that, a week of packing got in the way. With the way Dudley was acting, it might be two weeks before they could finally move to Crystal Cove. She couldn't even wait for the day when Chazz would meet the Dursleys and Harry. It would then be a serious showdown between him and Dudley. She really wanted to witness that.
~7 July, Number Four Privet Drive~
After a whole week, all their things were packed. Some furniture had been taken apart. This way, everything could be loaded into a moving van and be shipped to Crystal Cove.
Chazz had arrived at Privet Drive as arranged a few days before departure, thanks to the help of Pegasus and Industrial Illusions. He had already had his things shipped to the Crystal Cove address before coming to Privet Drive.
Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia were thrilled to finally meet their adoptive nephew in person.
Harry was a little shy at the time, but he was happy to have an older brother now. Next to an older sister.
However, Chazz wasn't really impressed with Dudley. Certainly not due to his behavior. But then again, he had been warned by his sister. He really hated him.
The Ojama brothers were still as annoying as ever. They were thrilled to see Yoni again. Even to meet Harry, who also turned out to be able to see them through his magic.
The big day had finally arrived to board the plane with Crystal Cove as the final destination.
Harry was a little nervous about the flight. It might not have been his first flight. It still made him a bit nervous. He had already flown a plane a few times. Just not as often as Yoni or Chazz.
The Dursleys, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry got up really early. This way they could still pack the last things and have breakfast. In the afternoon they had a flight to Crystal Cove.
Yoni checked for the umpteenth time every nock and granny upstairs in her room. She wanted to be sure that she hadn't forgotten or wouldn't leave anything behind that could be valuable to her. She then walked to the window and opened it for Prudentia. Who was patiently waiting on the windowsill. Her owl would make the long journey to Crystal Cove herself. To do this, she had ensured that she had rested sufficiently, while she let her stretch her wings outside sometimes. She gently stroked her owl's soft feathers with her fingertips.
"You have a long flight ahead of you to our new home." Yoni whispered to her loyal owl. "I hope you have a safe journey. We'll meet again in Crystal Cove."
Prudentia hooted softly, then elegantly spread her wings and flew out the window.
Yoni closed the window again and sighed deeply.
"Prudentia is clever." She heard Chazz say from the doorway. "I'm sure she'll be at the new house before us. If she can fly to Duel Academy Island, then her journey to Crystal Cove would be a piece of cake."
"Oh boss, that's so nice of you!" The Spirit of Ojama Yellow said, as he and his brothers emerged around Chazz.
"Yeah, we're lucky to have a boss like you, boss." The black Ojama said.
"And Yoni and Harry are lucky to have a brother like the boss." Ojama Green said in agreement.
Yoni had turned around to see him standing there with his arms crossed and eyes closed.
Chazz gritted his teeth, growling and snarled at the three spirits: "Shut up, you three! I should let you fly too like Prudentia! Get out, now! I don't want to see you on the plane again!"
The three Duel Monster spirits disappeared and Chazz took a deep breath.
"Sorry." He said softly, but it was dismissed.
"That's okay, Chazz. I know they're annoying. So you don't need to apologize." Yoni said smiling as she took Harena's carrier.
She had already given Harena's basket and Prudentia's perch and cage to be shipped to Crystal Cove along with the furniture and all the boxes.
The bed would remain behind. On it, Harena kept a close eye on her mistress and Chazz.
Yoni checked her trunk and backpack one last time after placing the carrier on the bed close to Harena.
Chazz also quickly checked his luggage in Harry's room before the trip. This way they could prevent themselves from forgetting something.
Everything turned out to be packed and nothing was missing.
Yoni closed and locked her trunk. Then she carefully put Harena into her carrier.
Uncle Vernon shouted at that moment: "Come down! It's time to go!"
Yoni quickly grabbed her jacket and put it on. She put her backpack on her back. She then dragged her very heavy trunk off the bed. She took the carrier in her other hand. She walked over to the door, which Chazz had left open. She paused for a moment in the doorway to look around the room. This might be the last time she would ever set foot in this room or house again. She then walked to the stairs and descended them. Meanwhile, she dragged her trunk down the stairs. She was immediately followed closely by Harry and then Chazz.
Harry dragged his trunk down the stairs with great effort.
Dudley immediately came up behind them and said in a cutting tone: "Hurry up, freaks. We'll miss our plane because of you three."
Yoni growled very softly in annoyance. She thought Dudley should have gone down the stairs earlier if he wanted to get to the airport on time.
"If you wanted to be on time that badly, you should have gone down earlier!" Chazz snapped, glaring at him over his shoulder.
Dudley glared back. Tensions began to rise between the two of them.
"Dudley, Chazz is right." Uncle Vernon said from the front doorway "Stop glaring at him now! Stop calling your cousins names and being a little child!"
Yoni glanced back over her shoulder for just a moment to see Dudley avert his gaze, but continued to scowl. She continued down the stairs and went straight outside as soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs. She noticed Aunt Petunia was already waiting in the car.
The car trunk was open and Yoni walked straight to it. She was closely followed by her two brothers and Dudley.
Dudley rudely threw his suitcase into the car trunk before his cousins had the chance to hoist their luggage into it. He then took a seat in the backseat.
In annoyance, Yoni pushed Dudley's suitcase on top of Uncle Vernon's and Aunt Petunia's.
Chazz placed his suitcase next to Dudley's, before helping his siblings hoist the two trunks on top of each other into the car trunk.
Meanwhile, Uncle Vernon closed and locked the front door. Then he got into the car behind the wheel.
Yoni, Chazz and Harry put their backpacks in the car trunk before closing it. They then got into the backseat with Dudley. Which was a bit of a tight squeeze.
Chazz and Yoni sat between Dudley and Harry, with Chazz sitting next to Dudley.
Yoni had placed Harena's carrier on her lap. An angry hiss came out of there, whenever her Lynx cub so much as saw Dudley through the cracks of the wicker door.
Uncle Vernon started the engine. He backed out of the driveway. He then drove out of Privet Drive towards Heathrow Airport.
This way, they hopefully left the house of Number Four Privet Drive behind them for good to make a new start somewhere else.
~Heathrow Airport~
The ride to the airport was in silence. As soon as they got there, Uncle Vernon had left the car at the agreed spot at the entrance of the cargo flights. A cargo company would have the car flown over to Crystal Cove. All six had gotten out of the car. They had each taken their luggage from the car trunk.
Uncle Vernon had given the car keys to an employee of the company. He would put the car on one of their planes bound for Crystal Cove.
The Dursleys, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry were forced to walk to the airport entrance. This was several meters away from them. This was much to Dudley's horror. He whined about it the entire walk. This really got on Chazz's nerves. He was slowly losing his patience. His boiling point had almost been reached. They entered the building once they reached the entrance. They walked to one of the travel company's check-in desks, where Uncle Vernon had booked the tickets. All six of them took out their international passports.
The flight attendant at the desk printed their travel tickets. Meanwhile, she weighed the luggage and checked their passports. She then would stick some barcodes and the destination on the luggage or hang it on them.
The baggage belt started to move. It transferred the luggage to another belt.
The flight attendant informed Yoni about the two options for Harena's carrier. The options were that the carrier could be taken into the cabin or placed in the cargo hold with the luggage.
The choice was quickly made for Yoni. She chose to keep Harena's carrier in the cabin.
The Dursleys, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry went through passport control and customs. Then they headed to the gate, where their plane was parked.
Along the way, they heard a woman's voice over the loudspeakers say: "Flight 242 at gate 8 to Crystal Cove Airport is ready for boarding. Please have your ticket and passport ready while boarding. This flight will make a stopover at Forth Worth International Airport in Dallas."
They arrived at the gate in a hurry. There was already forming a very long line of people there. All queuing up for the flight to Crystal Cove. After queueing, all passengers were seated in their seats on the plane. The Dursleys, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry were sitting somewhere in the middle of the plane. Yoni, Chazz and Harry sat in the row in front of Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and Dudley. Chazz sat near the window, while Yoni sat in the middle and Harry sat on the aisle. Behind them, Dudley sat at the window with Uncle Vernon in the middle and Aunt Petunia near the aisle.
The Captain welcomed his passengers on the plane. He gave a few explanations about how the flight to Crystal Cove would proceed.
The flight attendants illustrated the safety procedures for emergency landings and during the flight. Meantime, the plane headed to the runway for take-off.
Harry nervously grabbed Yoni's hand. It had been a while since he had flown on a plane. So it was exciting and quite scary for him again.
Yoni, Chazz and Harry had already been experiencing many adventures. Now they were going to make a completely new start somewhere else. A new start that was surely to be full of new adventures.
~Stopover in Dalles~
The plane was about to land at Forth Worth International Airport for its scheduled stopover, before continuing on to Crystal Cove Airport in California. It was about a three-hour flight before this stopover.
The Dursleys, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry were all sleeping in their chairs.
Uncle Vernon and Dudley were both snoring loudly next to each other. Dudley leaned against the wall of the plane in his sleep. He was drooling as well.
Chazz, Yoni and Harry were leaning against each other in their sleep. Yoni lay with her head on Chazz's shoulder, while Harry did the same with her.
The three Ojama brothers occasionally flickered into view, but were invisible to everyone on the plane. They watched their boss snugly sleeping with his new siblings.
The flight attendants were busy preparing dinner to be distributed to the passengers and wake them up.
A flight attendant leaned forward a little and gently shook Chazz's shoulder to wake him up.
Chazz slowly opened his eyes and saw a friendly flight attendant with a wide smile.
"We're about to serve dinner before we land in Dallas for the stopover." The flight attendant reported briefly, before walking on again.
Chazz glanced to his left. He noticed Yoni sleeping on his shoulder. Seeing that gave him a small smile. He didn't really have a real bond with his older brothers, Jagger and Slade. Maybe just a bond through blood, but that was it. He was only good for them to ensure that they could rule the world from the three worlds: politics, finance and Duel Monsters. When he failed to be the best Duelist in the world of Duel Monsters and to be Jaden in the school duel between Duel Academy and North Academy, his brothers dropped him like a stone and disinherited him. Everything may have seemed to be hopeless at the time, but he was offered a second chance. Yoni offered this in the form of an adoption with her and Harry as siblings. All he had to do was take her hand and he did so without a doubt. With Yoni and Harry, he truly had a sibling relationship. You didn't have to be a Princeton to have that. He also got more support from them when he entered a duel and more confidence to win it with his own strength without using rare cards. He was truly fortunate to have them as siblings. Now he could be a far better big brother to Harry than Slade and Jagger ever were to him. He saw how peacefully his sister was sleeping against him. From the corner of his eye, he saw the three Ojama troublemakers had reappeared. He hissed angrily but silently at them, causing them to disappear with a high-pitched scream.
The screams, which no one noticed, woke Yoni up. She lifted her head from Chazz's shoulder. She looked at him confused, sleep still evident in her eyes.
"We're going to land in Dallas, but first we get something to eat." He told her and she nodded.
Yoni sat up straighter. She gently shook Harry's arm to wake him.
Harry woke up with a start and was quickly reassured by his sister. He slowly started to relax again. Apparently, he'd had a really good dream. He looked at both his sister and Chazz with small sleepy emerald eyes.
"What is it?" He asked sleepily.
"They are about to land for the stopover in Dallas. They're going to serve dinner first." Yoni explained, trying to stretch a bit to relax her stiff muscles and get them moving again.
Harry nodded, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
Yoni and Chazz looked between their seats at Dudley, who was snoring a row behind them. They thought of a way to wake him up in a rude manner.
Yoni unbuckled her seat belt. She then sat on her knees on her chair. She leaned over the top of her chair. She then slapped Dudley very hard on the cheek.
Dudley immediately woke up. He looked around sleepily.
"What?" He said stupidly and sleepily.
Yoni looked at him annoyingly, while Chazz grinned.
"Dinner is going to be served. Afterward, we'll land for the stopover in Dallas." She said annoyed.
Her cousin just kept looking at her stupidly.
Yoni rolled her eyes. She sat back down normally in her chair. She was actually glad that Dudley wasn't sitting next to her and that he had left her and Harry alone for the entire flight. But then again... he was also more afraid of both her and Chazz bothering them. She thought that the first half of the flight had already gone well and smoothly.
"What an idiot." Chazz mumbled, shaking his head.
The cart with food and drinks had now reached their row. A flight attendant gave them their dinner and drinks with a smile.
Yoni, Chazz and Harry thanked the woman very much. Then the woman served the row behind them and they saw Dudley ignore her and just start eating.
Yoni shook her head in disappointment. She started eating with her brothers. She was glad that Chazz at least had manners besides his spoiled ego. Something Dudley completely lacked.
Moments later everything was cleaned up. The Captain informed them that they were about to land at Forth Worth International Airport in Dallas for their scheduled stopover. The flight attendant prepared everything for landing. They then took their places.
Yoni had already felt while eating that the plane had descended slightly. She looked past Chazz out the window. She saw a dark depth with some spots of light far below them. If they descended a little more, these would come closer.
Harry took his sister's hand again for landing. For him, it was as exciting as taking off. He looked straight ahead with anticipation.
Yoni glanced sideways at him, smiling. She felt that the plane had descended some more.
The plane banked to the right to align itself with the designated runway. The plane descended even more. The wheels of the landing gear landed on the tarmac of the runway. The cabin shook slightly as the plane traveled all the way down the runway and eventually started to slow down.
The cabin was filled with applause from the passengers for the successful landing.
The Captain indicated that everyone should remain sealed until they took off again for Crystal Cove. He briefly reported what was going to happen during this stopover. Fuel would be refilled, the toilets would be cleaned and a crew changed who would continue the journey to their destination.
Moments later the plane came to a standstill. The door was opened. Some cleaners immediately came on board the plane they cleaned the restrooms. Meanwhile, the entire crew left the plane. Another crew came on board to take over the trip. Outside, extra fuel was being pumped into the plane.
~Four Hours Later~
The passengers of Flight 242 bound for Crystal Cove Airport waited for approximately four hours for the new flight crew to continue the flight.
Dudley was starting to get impatient. As a result, Yoni and Chazz started to find him very unbearable.
Uncle Vernon had sternly told him to stay calm and to be patient. He said it was about a three-hour-and-a-half flight to Crystal Cove's airport.
Yoni sighed softly when she heard that. She hoped they wouldn't have to wait so long anymore. That would cause the flight to be delayed. That would really be a disaster.
Unfortunately, the flight suffered the dreaded delay. Normally they would have only had to wait two hours and fifteen minutes before taking off again. It quickly turned into a four-hour wait.
The Captain apologized to the passengers. He delivered the good news that the journey to Crystal Cove could finally continue. This news was welcomed with much relief by the passengers. The Captain further informed them about the further course of the last leg of the flight. He reported that due to the delay, they would arrive at their final destination an hour and forty-five minutes later than planned. The safety procedures for emergencies were once again demonstrated by the flight attendants of the new flight crew. Meanwhile, the plane proceeded to the designated runway for take-off. Once they reached it, the plane stopped for a moment. It then assumed a very high speed to take off for the second time.
Harry held Yoni's hand tightly again. It was perhaps the second time the plane took off. It was still just as exciting and scary as before. He was relieved that the flight was almost over. Even though they still had to fly for another three hours and a half until they reached their destination.
'Just a short flight and we'll be at our new home.' Yoni thought relieved. She could hardly wait to see their new home. Also to be able to stand up and walk around again. She started to feel how stiff her muscles had become.
~Crystal Cove, Californië~
Before the final landing of this trip, the plane was about to land at Crystal Cove Airport. It took quite some time before the trip was finally over.
Dudley fell asleep again. He was already snoring loudly. He was drooling again in his sleep.
This time Yoni, Chazz and Harry had remained awake by the tension of their new home. All three of them had taken something out of their backpacks to entertain themselves for the last hours of flying.
Harry was reading in his book 'Quidditch Through The Ages'.
Yoni had taken out her sketchbook. She was sketching something in it. She was finishing the final touches of a few sketches for possible new cards for the game Duel Monsters.
Chazz had taken out his deck of cards. He was coming up with and working out some possible new strategies.
The flight attendants later came to hand out a snack. Free drinks were then handed out for the remaining hours of the flight.
Shortly afterward everything was cleared for the last landing. The Captain informed them that they would soon be landing at their final destination, Crystal Cove Airport in California.
"Finally." Yoni and Chazz muttered in chorus.
Both she and Harry put their things back into their own backpacks.
Yoni rudely woke Dudley up again in the same way as before for the announced landing. This was really quite a treat for Chazz to watch.
The flight attendants prepared everything for the final landing. They then took their places.
While sketching, Yoni had felt that the plane was descending for the second time.
Harry grabbed her hand again on this final landing of the flight. It was just as exciting as the previous landing. He looked straight again with tension. They could feel that the plane had descended even more.
This time the plane banked sharply to the left. It aligned itself with the control tower's designated runway. The plane had descended even more. The wheels of the landing gear landed on the tarmac. The cabin shook slightly again. The plane drove down the runway at high speed until it started to slow down.
All passengers clapped their hands loudly again for this successful landing.
The Captain indicated that everyone had to remain in their seats until the plane came to a stop and the cabin door was opened.
Finally, the plane came to a standstill. The cabin door opened.
Yoni, Chazz and Harry unbuckled their seatbelts and stood up. They look at their backpacks and the wicker carrier. They tried to get onto the aisle. Only it was completely packed with impatient passengers. Just like them, they couldn't wait to get off the plane.
"Yoni, Chazz, Harry." Uncle Vernon said calmly behind them and they looked at him puzzled. "Sit back down for a moment. We'll wait a little until there are fewer people."
Yoni, Chazz and Harry nodded and sat back down.
The line slowly moved. It started to go a little faster and there were far fewer people on the aisle.
Yoni, Chazz and Harry stood back up. They stood on the aisle waiting for the Dursleys. This way they could leave the plane together. They were soon joined on the aisle by Aunt Petunia. However, Uncle Vernon and Dudley appeared to have some trouble getting out of their chairs.
"Go ahead. I'll stay here." Aunt Petunia said to them. "Otherwise, wait for us outside. Then we can go through passport control together and collect our luggage."
Yoni nodded. She left the plane together with Chazz and Harry. All three of them were relieved to be no longer 'locked up' in a small space. Certainly to be able to move again. Their legs had become stiff. Their knees also hurt a little. This was because they had sat still for many hours in a cramped sitting position. They waited there for the Dursleys, as Aunt Petunia had asked them to do. They turned to the door of the plane.
"That's why I hate commercial flights." Chazz muttered annoyed. "I'd rather fly with a private jet. Then you don't have all that mystery."
Yoni chuckled softly as Chazz's spoiled brat side came out again. He was right though. She also much preferred traveling with a private jet rather than a commercial flight.
Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and Dudley were eventually one of the last to get off the plane. They walked over to Yoni, Chazz and Harry.
Uncle Vernon briefly apologized for the slight delay with his niece and nephew. Then all six of them walked to where passport control was held. There they had to have their passports checked again.
At passport control, there was a long queue of other passengers from both their flight and other flights.
Uncle Vernon growled something under his mustache. Which caused it to move and become bushier.
Dudley started whining again about how it was taking too long and going way too slow. He immediately started to whine less when he saw his parents' stern, angry looks.
Yoni and Chazz both couldn't help themselves from rolling their eyes at Dudley's childish behavior.
Both the passport control officers and the waiting passengers looked in their direction. They looked at Dudley angrily and irritatedly. They also saw that his parents were keeping a close eye on him and immediately shutting him up with their stares.
"What a horrible boy." A woman whispered.
"He has very little or no respect for others at all." A man muttered.
"Hahahahahaha! Look, mommy, daddy!" A little boy said loudly to his parents with a big grin and pointed at Dudley with his small index finger. "What a big baby!"
Yoni and Chazz couldn't help but chuckle softly behind their hands upon hearing that comment. They couldn't blame the boy. Neither did the other people.
Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia felt the same way. They were also embarrassed by Dudley's childish behavior. They hoped that could quickly change now that they were moving to Crystal Cove. They had also noticed that Chazz could sometimes act like a spoiled brat, but at least he could act like a real man. He didn't throw childish tantrums. They hoped he could teach Dudley something to change his behavior.
The line started to get shorter and shorter. Once it was their turn to be controlled, Dudley abruptly stopped his whining and complaining. This caused for confusion. Not only with his family, but with other people as well.
Yoni had always known that Dudley could throw tantrums both real and fake, and the whining was nothing new either. Stopping it so suddenly always raised for frowns.
The man at the passport control gave Dudley a stern angry look of disapproval. He did smile kindly at Yoni, Chazz, Harry and Dudley's parents. He thoroughly checked the documents. He then allowed them to continue once he returned them approved.
The Dursleys, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry walked together to where they could collect their luggage. They joined the other passengers of their flight at a baggage claim. They waited until the luggage came out.
After waiting a few minutes, the baggage claim started moving. The luggage came out one by one from an opening in the wall. This tire ran around in an oval. This way, everyone could see the luggage clearly and without being packed on each other and take the right one.
Harry saw his trunk first. He dragged it off the circulating baggage claim.
Yoni and Chazz each saw their own luggage.
Chazz immediately took his off.
Yoni gave Harena's carrier first to Harry. She dragged her heavy trunk off the baggage claim. She then took the carrier back from her brother.
The Dursleys each found their luggage as well. Together the six of them walked to the exit.
Uncle Vernon took out his phone outside at the exit. He wanted to see whether their car had already arrived on the cargo company's plane.
Yoni frowned at him. She glanced around. She thought it was cold and dark. It was also quite late in Crystal Cove. She guessed it would be around midnight. She hoped Uncle Vernon would figure something out soon, so they could go to their new home. She really didn't feel like standing in the poorly lit airport parking lot.
"How do we get to our new home?" Harry asked his aunt and uncle curiously.
"With our car. Apparently, it would be here in the parking lot." Uncle Vernon replied thoughtfully, as he looked up from his phone and put it away again. "The cargo company's plane apparently arrived earlier. The employees then put the car here on the parking lot afterward."
Yoni sighed deeply and grumbled: "Great, now we have to find the car in this poorly lit parking lot before we can go home."
"We'll find the car soon so we can go home." Aunt Petunia reassured.
"Well, how are we gonna find the car?" Chazz asked frowning. "Have you noticed how dark it here is? We're never going to find the car in the dark. I hope you have flashlights on hand for this search.
Yoni thought he was right. It would be difficult to find the car in this darkness. She had a feeling they would find it in the darkest corner of the parking lot.
Together the Dursleys, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry went looking for the car. It took quite a while before they found the car. They were relieved when they found it. They loaded their luggage into the trunk, except for Harena's carrier. They all then got into the car.
Uncle Vernon started the engine and pulled out of the parking space. Then he drove out of the parking lot in the direction of the coastal town of Crystal Cove.
The ride to the house was in silence. It took a while before they got there.
The airport was not located in the middle of town. Rather further out. That's why it was a short drive to the house.
During the almost long car ride, Harry had fallen asleep again. He rested his head against Yoni's shoulder as she stared out the window.
Chazz had crossed his arms. His eyes were closed.
Finally, Uncle Vernon pulled into the driveway of a very large house, which had a large front yard. He stopped and turned off the engine.
Yoni gently shook Harry awake by the shoulder and whispered: "Wake up, Harry. We're here."
Harry slowly woke up again. He looked at her sleepily before stretching.
All six of them got out of the car. They each retrieved their own luggage from the trunk. They then walked together to the front door of their new home.
Uncle Vernon put the key in the keyhole. He turned it. The front door opened with a click. He removed the key from the lock. He stepped into the wide entrance hall. He was closely followed by his wife, son, nephews, and niece.
Harry closed the door behind them.
Uncle Vernon turned on the lights, so they could see where they were going.
The entrance hall was empty and bare, but in good shape. It just needed a lick of paint and some furniture.
"I want the biggest room!" Dudley suddenly demanded wide awake.
Yoni was shocked by this for a moment. She hadn't immediately expected this outburst. In her opinion, the size of a room wasn't a priority. Sleep was now much more of a priority than how big her room would be.
"That won't work, Dudley." Uncle Vernon said calmly and in a collected manner.
His son just looked at him with a dumb expression. He didn't understand what his dad was talking about. He just wanted the biggest room. Was that so difficult to understand?
Chazz saw how dumb Dudley was looking at Uncle Vernon and snorted in amusement as he crossed his arms.
'As if that's going to help him get that big room.' He thought dismissively.
"We have already divided the rooms among you. We did this to avoid arguments." Aunt Petunia explained. "This house has six bedrooms in total. We have already taken the master bedroom for ourselves. Two rooms will become guest rooms. Harry and Chazz will share a room together."
"Next to the master bedroom, there is another large bedroom. Only it's a bit smaller. We reserved this for ..." Uncle Vernon continued calmly. He was just about to say who it was for, but he was interrupted.
"It's mine!" Dudley interrupted loudly.
Chazz couldn't help but groan loudly in irritation.
"Your mother and I disagree on that." Uncle Vernon said dismissively. "We chose another room for you. It's big too. Just a little smaller than the other room."
Yoni and Harry could see that Dudley was starting to get angry, but luckily he didn't have a tantrum.
"Who'll be assigned that large room." Harry asked curiously.
"We're happy to assign the room to Yoni." Aunt Petunia quietly announced. "Come Yoni, Chazz, Harry. I'll take you to your rooms."
Yoni, Chazz and Harry followed her up the stairs, luggage in hand, to their rooms.
"WHAT!" Dudley shouted angrily at his father when they were halfway up the stairs. "I WANT THAT ROOM! THAT ROOM IS MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! NOT HERS!"
Yoni rolled her eyes as she followed Aunt Petunia further upstairs. She thought it was very childish for Dudley to have a tantrum over the size of a room. That was ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
Chazz groaned in annoyance and muttered: "How ridiculous."
At the top of the wide landing, Aunt Petunia continued walking down a long hallway. She was followed by her nephews and niece.
On the left side of the hallway, there were two doors. On the other hand, there were three. There was another door at the end of the hallway.
Aunt Petunia paused at the second door on the right. She opened it for Chazz and Harry.
Chazz and Harry entered the room cautiously. Chazz closed the door behind them.
Aunt Petunia then continued to walk further down the hall. She was followed by Yoni. She walked to the door at the end of the hallway. She opened this door for her niece.
When the door was opened, Yoni entered her new room. She smiled at her aunt before closing the door.
Yoni turned on the light so she could take a look at her room.
The room was shaped like the letter 'L' in the laying down position. It even had its own bathroom. Which was great! Directly opposite the door, there was half a wall on the left. The other part of this wall was completely made of glass with a glass door. There was a camp bed on the left opposite the door. That was only temporary. That was until Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia bought new furniture.
Yoni placed her trunk on the floor at the foot of the camp bed. She opened its lid. She pulled out her pajamas and toiletry bag. With that, she headed to her bathroom. She changed clothes. She brushed her teeth. She then left the bathroom. She turned off the light. She carefully felt her way towards the camp bed. She sat on that. She opened Harena's carrier before laying down. This way Harena was able to get out of the carrier and sleep with her. She noticed that her Lynx cub was already sleeping in her carrier. She knew that upon waking up Harena would explore the room and then the roost of the house. She was curious about what their life would be like in Crystal Cove. She quickly fell asleep.
~End of August, Crystal Cove~
In the following days and weeks, the Dursleys, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry were busy unpacking boxes. They also spend time exploring the house. They added more color to all the walls in all the rooms. Especially those that required a lick of paint. They went grocery shopping together for food, drinks, and new furniture for the new house. They also took the time to explore the coastal town of Crystal Cove. They primarily did this to ensure that everyone knew their way in the town. This was also for the new school year, because Yoni, Harry and Dudley would start at Crystal Cove High in early September. Chazz then would return to Duel Academy.
Due to all the commotion of moving, decorating the new house, and other things, Yoni, Chazz and Harry hadn't yet had the chance to inform their friends about all this. They had told them that they had moved for Uncle Vernon's work and also to make a new start somewhere else.
Harry had announced that he would continue his Muggle education in combination with his wizarding education through self-study. This was heartily approved by his best friend, Hermione. He had also asked them not to say anything about it to Dumbledore. He was afraid that the old man would come and disrupt this opportunity for a new lift with his meddling. His friends promised him not to do that, promising to stay in touch with each other.
For Yoni, her friends from Duel Academy were a bit disappointed that she wouldn't come for her second year. Especially Jaden and Syrus. Even though Chazz would return to Duel Academy. They all, even Chazz after a look from Yoni, made a promise to keep in touch with each other. When Syrus asked if she would return to the island if the school was in danger again, she promised to do so. Some of her friends led by Chazz were concerned for her as she would continue her Muggle education at Crystal Cove High, while she would now continue her education from Duel Academy in self-study along with her wizarding education at home. She had to reassure them that she was going to ensure that she wouldn't be overwhelmed by the three kinds of eductions.
Yoni and Harry had also contacted the American Ministry of Magic, the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Or MACUSA for short. They had inquired about the laws of the American wizarding community and whether they could immigrate to this community. This was to ensure that Dumbledore could no longer force them to return to the UK.
It was Aunt Petunia's idea for them all to have dual citizenship as both British and American in the Muggle world. Well, for Chazz, it was triple nationality. She had discovered that this was also possible in the Wizarding world. She advised Yoni and Harry to completely change their nationality in the Wizarding world to American. She thought it was too risky with Dumbledore for them to have dual citizenship in the Wizarding world. This also brought all the assets and fortunes of the Noble and Ancient House of Potter under the strict control of MACUSA and the US branch of Gringotts. This way, Dumbledore or the British Ministry could no longer use it illegally or misuse it for personal purposes.
As they drove into the town center of Crystal Cove, Yoni had noticed something.
On two stone pillars, there was a wooden sign, which everyone passed under when entering and leaving the town center. It said
Crystal Cove
The Most Hauntedest Place in the World
Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia therefore decided to go to the Crystal Cove Spook Museum with their son, niece and nephews. This allowed them to learn more about the infamous 'ghost town' of Crystal Cove.
During their visit to the museum, Yoni felt like playing a nasty prank on Dudley. She did this with the help of the museum owners' daughter and Chazz.
However, the prank worked. Dudley left the museum screaming. He claimed to everyone that the museum was haunted. The museum owners took advantage of this claim to attract even more visitors. Which happened. This made their daughter, Yoni, Chazz, and Harry laugh. No one found out it was a prank or that they were behind it.
The summer flew by. The new school year was just around the corner.
Chazz had traveled to Domino City a few days before the new school year to attend Duel Academy.
Yoni admitted that she was both nervous and excited to be attending Crystal Cove High that new school year. She hoped that Dudley wasn't going to make things difficult for them both at home and at school. Except she knew it was wishful thinking. She knew all too well that he would find a way to keep them from making friends. She was certainly going to do something about it. She was willing to make friends here too this new school year. She was certainly going to make sure of that. She remembered that Chazz had warned and threatened Dudley to get him to behave more. She was going to remind him of that again and again whenever he made another mistake. She was already looking forward to the first of September.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Please review.
Next: Yoni and Harry will start the new school year at Crystal Cove. So is their cousin, Dudley.
