Theodora and Harry Potter

Chapter 2

July 31

It's mine and Harry's birthday. In exactly 4 minutes and 30 seconds.

I look at Harry and wonder how we got into this situation.

All week we've had weird brown letters flying through the letter box, shooting through the fireplace and the best thing is it's owls that have been delivering them.

We don't know what they say thanks to petunia and Vernon burning, ripping or hiding every letter we get.

We haven't had any more punishments though so that's a plus. We are currently in the middle of non where with a storm brewing as we speak.

I can bear the waves crashing against the rocks in an angry rage trying to capture and punish the beings that have wronged it.

I like the water especially when it's during a storm I find it peaceful and soothing. I don't know why there is just something about it. I turn to my right and Harry is drawing a cake on the floor, Thanks to the dust collected over time it's been made possible, it has 11 candles on it and has Thea and Harry written on top.

I turn to my best friend and closest person I have and give him a hug.

"Happy birthday Harry," I say just as Dudley watch chimes twelve.

"Happy birthday Thea," he repeats and kisses my forehead just as I had his cheek.

We blow the makeshift candles out just as a thundering noise emitted from the front of the shack causes it to shake with the vibrations.

———————————————————————————

I can't believe it me and Harry are finally out we are free I can't believe we are magical and everything has been a lie.

Even though the freedom is only until Christmas break it's better than anything I could've hoped for.

Now we have to find 9 3/4 at kings cross.

Uncle Vernon driven us here purely based on the fact they was already making a journey up this way.

I know what you must be thinking there is no mine and three quarters but it's either hidden or a glitch in the system from Hogwarts and by the looks of thing the latter is quite promising.

Cause ya know we just got some quite nasty treatment from the conductor.

"This place is pact filled with muggles each year come in Fred you first," I hear and so does Harry as we turn around and see a bunch of red head .

There is a lot of them that's for sure.

"She said muggles isn't that the term magic people use for non magic people? Let's see if she can help us," Harry insists before I can even answer his question. This isn't very smart what if they aren't magical well either seem like freaks that need help or we'll reveal the secret world of witchcraft and wizardry.

"He's not Fred i am, honestly women and you call yourself our mother,"

"Oh I'm sorry George, you go first then,"

"Only kidding I am Fred," I gape a little when the pair of identical twins vanish through a wall. They seem like the prankster type I like them already.

"Erm excuse me could you please tell us how to to," he stutters not really knowing how to finish the sentence with out sounding stupid.

"How to get to the platform of course it's Ron's first times as well just follow him through best for it at a bit of a jog if you're nervous," just as I go to protest to Harry about not listening to the crazy looking woman who we've never even met and is telling us to run into a wall, we'll be listens and runs at the wall.

After he vanishes through the wall I reluctantly do the same seeing no alternative. I blink and close my eyes clutching onto my trolley with tight closed fists and brace myself for an impact that surprisingly never came.

I look around in a sort of awe but am somewhat disappointed. With it being a magical world I thought it would of been more that magical.

But the scarlet train that has Hogwarts express on it looks like any other train. However the magic that I feel humming through my skin is unmistakable and the best feeling I have felt since Diagon alley.

———————————————————————————

I board the train and don't immediately see Harry. I don't have enough energy to search for him and sit in the first empty carriage I come across wanting to be alone. I take out a book from my trunk and carry on reading from where I last left off.

It hasn't been easy reading magical books in a magic hating household but I managed and I've near enough finished half of them. Right now I'm on Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger I'm quite enjoying it though I wouldn't so it's my strongest subject as of yet.

"Oh hey there you are I was looking for you," I don't look up but I nod in acknowledgment.

After a few minutes I put my book down and me and Harry start to discuss all the exciting things that we can't wait to try and do now that we are away from the Dursley's.

I want to go swimming without Dudley trying to drown me. I want to eat something sweet without the fear of being whipped for it and most of all I want to have a friend without worrying Dudley might scare them off.

Harry wants to sleep on a proper bed, have loads of friends and experience everything he can. We really are similar. Even as young children we were always close and wanted slot of the same things we are very alike in a lot of ways.

"So have you read any of your books yet, any at all?" I ask him already knowing the answer which is exactly why I have a teasing smirk on my face.

He emailed back knowing I'm just messing with him and shakes his head no.

"Wow Harry that's so unlike you I would never of guessed are you sure you are well?" I gasp dramatically clutching my hand to my chest in mock horror and plaster concern and disbelief on my face.

It only lasts a second though as we burst into fits of laughter.

Our bonding time is interrupted by a certain red head boy knocking on our compartment door.

"Hey do you mind if I sit in here everywhere else is full?" He asks nervously, I can tell he's put off with the scowl in my face and just as I'm about to tell him I'd like to have this compartment and time with my brother Harry goes and agrees.

Ugh really Harry? I roll my eyes and re- open my book ignoring everything that's going on until I hear him question about our scars.

"Is it true have you, have you got the.. the?" He's pointing to his forehead like his obviously limited knowledge can't proper form the word scar.

Harry nods and grins as he pulls his hair back and shows off his scar.

Ron's gasps in surprise and looks at me expediently but I just roll my eyes subtly and get up.

"I'm going to find the bathroom to get dressed," I take my school robe and my belongings with me.

In search for the bathroom I bump into a bushy brown haired girl with crooked teeth and an attitude problem.

"Have you seen a toad a boy named Neville's lost one," I shake my head negative just wanting to get past and hoping she's satisfied with the answer she got. But of course luck is never on my side.

"Holy cricked you're Theodora potter aren't you? Is your brother around Harry Potter, I mean I know all about you of course and how you defeated Voldemort, and your legendary scars," she rambles on about reading about us, reading all of Hogwarts first year books and how she is a muggle born.

I am getting a migraine. Is everyone in this world either like Ronald or Hermione? as she said her name was.

Because if so I quit now I just have to.

"We'll it's been a pleasure meeting you I'm sure but I must be off now things to do and places to be plus these things are a little heavy." I say with a sweet smile on my face and a very fake voice but she's non the wiser and smiles saying she'll see me soon.

I take out my robes once I reach the bathroom, they are fully black but have the Hogwarts coat of arms on along side the potter family crest on the arm of the left side.

I decided to invest in a bottomless bag from Gringotts so I could put as much money as I would need for a few months in there or at least until can visit again. From Madam Malkins I decided to get Platinum linings for my robes and suing a silky rich material for them. I haven't ever spent so much money on myself so I decided this is where I start.

Harry decided to go with standard itchy ones for some reason and he seems fine with the oversized cloak.

Once I have finally got my robes on I bump into a boy, the same boy Harry met at madam malkins when we got our robes I was next door buying some extra books that caught my eye at the time, hatred was buying Harry and me an owl so I didn't get to talk to him much but Harry didn't seem to impressed with him. He's walking into a compartment with a few other boys.

"Watch where you're goi- oh hey it's you again, we didn't get a chance to talk when we first met your brother seemed to be in a rush, but if you like you can join our compartment and we can get to know each other?"

Well I won't judge based off my brothers opinion we have a lot in common but our taste in friends is obviously quite different if Ronald is anything to go by.

And so that is how I was introduced to the snake pit.
