The Potter Twins and the Philosopher's Stone

The Unexpected Holiday

It was about half past midnight, and Harry was waiting to meet Emilia at their, well now her, cupboard to open their mysterious letters. He was so excited. That's when Uncle Vernon barged into his room.

Next thing Harry knew, he was packing up to go to some strange place. It was ten to one. He was suppose to be meeting her at the cupboard in ten minutes. He was suppose to be opening his letter with Emilia in ten minutes.

Harry went down stairs to get Emilia, but saw that Emilia wasn't packed. Instead, she was trying to catch a loose parrot in the kitchen.

Wait, parrot!? What happened!

Ask a question, and you shall be answered.

"Your good for nothing sister!" Aunt Petunia started to rage. "Let a parrot loose in our kitchen! You best stay in your place unless you want real punishment," then she stomped off out of the kitchen.

While chasing that parrot, Emilia looked over and saw her dumb-folded brother. .

"Oh! Hi Harry! I was just buttering some bread for Dudley, because he woke me in the middle of the night to make him a midnight snack when he started to complain about there not being enough butter, and then threw the butter tray at me. So of course, I lost my temper again no matter how many times you've told me to try and handle it, and threw a pan at him after he said he wanted something to hit the stupid bird outside with. Then right before it hit him, it grew feathers and sprouted wings and turned into a parrot! You know! The usual!" she yelled, out of breath from trying to catch the parrot. And who could blame her. She was on the island trying to balance herself and not fall off and break her face.

After a few minutes and many, many bird droppings made their way down on the twins, they caught the bird and let it free outside. Harry went to the bathroom and washed off the majority of the white and brown bird pellets off himself before there was a knock on the door. He turned the water off and answered.

"Come in,". The door opened and in came his little twin sister.

"Hey," Harry said and smiled. Before she could say anything, they both got pulled out of the bathroom and into the car. It took about 15 extra minutes because Dudley wanted to bring his television with him.

Harry was sitting between Dudley and Emilia in the back seat of the car. Right when they started moving, Emilia's eyes widened and she slapped herself on the forehead. Probably realizing she didn't pack anything, Harry placed a small bag on her lap with her stuff he packed for her in it. She smiled and nodded her head in a thanks, him returning the gesture. When there was people around, a thank-you-nod from Emilia was a big deal.

Thankfully for Harry and Emilia, Dudley had finally complained himself to sleep a little while back. Harry looked over at Emilia and saw her head was leaning on his shoulder. She was asleep. That was good, because she hadn't gotten much sleep the past few days, so he let her sleep.

Soon Harry fell asleep too. A little while later, he woke to the sound of Uncle Vernon yelling at us to get up. Harry's head was on Emilia's. He slowly lifted his head to try not to wake her. She looked so peaceful, and he didn't want to wake her.

"Get up girl!" Uncle Vernon hissed at Emilia.

"Stop she's sleeping," Harry whisper yell/ hissed. He just rolled his eyes and got out of the car. After maybe 20 minutes, he came back with a little row boat he got from a sailor. Then Harry realized they were right at a dock. Before he could figure out what they were doing, their uncle pulled the kids out of the car and onto the edge of the dock. By then, Emilia was awake, but still sleepy. They were sitting there, and Uncle Vernon put the row boat in the water and they all climbed in. Uncle Vernon was rowing, and rowing, and rowing. Then they got to a little run down shack barely standing in the middle of the ocean. There was a storm going on, so Harry doubted that it would stand for them. Tomorrow was Harry and Emilia's birthday. They'll be okay.  As long as they were together.

By the time they got inside, it was maybe 9 o' clock pm. Wow. That didn't take long at all. Note the sarcasm. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia got the bed upstairs, Dudley got the old couch, and the twins got the floor with a blanket so they wouldn't freeze to death.
