Circus Magic

A New Beginning

Harry POV.

I wake up with a start, the sun is up I am late for making breakfast. I rush out of the bed and trip over something on the bed. I look up and see Rowan is what I tripped over. I then remember what happened last night and start to look for Yumi.

"Yumi!" I called.

She pops up from under the blanket to look at me. Rowan starts to wake up due to my calling of Yumi. He looks over and sees her.

"Why is there a snake in my bed?!"he loudly questions.

"That's Yumi my friend. I can talk to her."

"You shouldn't have told him that little one." Yumi whispers.

"Why not he saved me and is my friend." Rowan seems a little freaked out by the conversation between me and Yumi.

" It is not a skill that many possess and it is often thought of as evil by the magic community."

"Oh" I say sadly.

Rowan looks between me and Yumi. Before he speaks. " That's a cool skill you have there, it would be a good addition to the circus."

"I would love to be part of the circus."

" We can ask the my dad and the police when they get here if it could be a thing for you." I nod and we get up.

We walk out into the middle of all of the small tents and I see breakfast being served. We grab some breakfast and start eating. It is more food than I have ever had in one sitting. Soon the police and are led over to us by Nick.

"So how are you little guy." A female police officer asks me.

"I'm not little I'm five." I say with my cheeks puffed out.

She looks at me sadly and then asks me to take off my shirt to look at the bruises better. I slowly take off my heavily over sized shirt. The police look at me in horror.

"Who gave you this one" she says pointing at a burn.

"My aunt." I say quietly. She slowly goes through all my cuts, scars, burns and bruises asking how I got them. After the question she let me put my shirt back on and asked me to take them to my relatives house. I point at Rowan and Nick and she says that they can come with.

We all walk to my aunt and uncle's house. They knock on the door to have it answered by my uncle.

" We have received a call about suspected child abuse and endangerment."

"Come here my boy." He calls Dudley, "As you can see he is just fine."

"You know that is not the child I mean." She says. My uncle starts to look a little concerned.

"I don't have any other children."

"Your nephew."

My uncle starts to pale and then he sees me. He starts to turn as red as a tomato. " I should have known it was you no one else would spread such lies as you freak!" He screams out at me. I shake and hide behind Rowan.

"You guys can go back I will talk to you when I am done here." The police woman says.

We walk back to the circus and wait for the police lady to come back. While waiting I talk to Yumi about the wizarding world some more.

"So how do you know about all this stuff?"

"I used to live with an old wizard until he died and I left and found you. He told me all his secrets, others secrets and all about the magic world. He did not worry about me telling anyone because only one is known to be able to speak to snakes in the wizarding world and he is dead, at least for the moment."
