"Up!" Petunia said, hitting the cupboard's door, "Get up! Now!!" She unlocked the door and walked away and into the kitchen, closing the door behind her.

Lea sighed as she opened her eyes, 'Let's get this day over with'

She scratched the back of her neck as she sat up, turning on the light causing the small cupboard to light up. She rubbed her eyes as someone started running up and down the stairs, making thumping noises that reminded her of a baby elephant.

"Wake up cousins! We're going to the zoo!"

Lea glanced up to her cousin, Dudley's, shouts and stomps from the stairs above their heads. She covered her face as dust comes raining down upon her and her twin brother's, Harry, bed they shared.

She sighed as she looked around their cupboard, hearing Harry lightly groaning from being woken up. The eleven year old girl looked as the boy reached for his spectacles while rubbing his eyes.

"Let's get this day over with" Lea said, standing up and stretching, hearing her bones pop from her uncomfortable bed.

These are Harry and Amelia 'Lea' Potter, children of James and Lily Potter, who tragically died from a car crash. Due to their deaths, they have to live with their mean Aunt and Uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley, and their even meaner cousin, Dudley.

Harry opened the cupboard as they blinked due to the brightness of the sun, adjusting from the dark enclosed space they slept in.

As Harry was going to step out into the hall, Dudley pushed him inside, closing the cupboard with his foot and went first into the kitchen, closing the door as both Harry and Lea stepped out, the boy rubbing his head where he had hit it against the wall.

"I swear if he hurts you one more time" Lea said quietly, closing the cupboard behind her, "I'm going to punch him in the face"

"Do that and you won't have any meals until the next day" Her brother retorted, pushing his glasses up his nose.

"Oh here comes the birthday boy!" Petunia cried out happily as Harry and Lea stepped into the kitchen, hugging her son close to her.

"Happy birthday my boy" Vernon added with a smile towards his son.

The large kitchen was spotless as their aunt always wanted everything in her house tidy and clean, well, except for the cupboard and her niece and nephew.

Harry's clothes were Dudley's hand me downs and Lea's clothes were Harry's hand me downs. They each had to wear a belt in order for their pants to not fall, they had to fold the sleeves multiple times in order for them to not go past their wrists.

They were also unhealthy skinny with bony knees, Harry had his father's untidy black hair and his mother's emerald green eyes while Lea possessed her mother's red auburn hair and her father's chocolate brown eyes. Fortunately, Harry was the only one who had to wear glasses.

As the woman saw her niece and nephew enter the kitchen, she sent a scowl in their direction, "Why don't you two just cook the breakfast?" She asked but they both knew that it was an order, "And try not to burn anything"
