Leah Riddle: Riddle me This (Book 2)

Chapter One

Reminder that the series is majorly unedited and I began rewriting the first book but never got a chance to finish the series so there will be plot holes and inconsistencies! 

***

"Dudley!" I screamed, storming into the backyard. I saw Dudley and his hooligans surrounded by a ladder, laughing and poking something in the gutter.

 "Oh 'ello," Dudley laughed and I pushed through his little crew.

 "I am going to kill you!" I snarled, staring up at him.

 "Calm down, woman," snorted one of his little minions and I turned around, eyes blazing. He flinched back and I spun back around to face Dudley with a smirk... just as whatever he was poking at fell on my head. I screamed and jumped back, watching the dead bird fall to the ground. I kicked the ladder, making it topple over and Dudley fell to the ground. When he fell, he dropped my wand that he was using to poke at the bird. I grabbed it and then pulled Dudley up by his collar. I shoved him back into the side of the house, stabbing him in the neck with my wand.

  He gagged and his eyes widened as my eyes glowed red.

 "How dare you take my stuff?" I yelled, pulling him forward slightly and then slamming him back into the side of the house. He whimpered and failed to answer, so I landed a good punch to his nose. 

 "You're dead meat," I sneered, readying my wand.

 "Avada-"

 "Leah!" Potter yelled, walking over. I shoved Dudley to the ground and faced Potter. Dudley clutched his bleeding nose and scrambled to his feet. His little crew was watching the scene in shock.

 "You interrupted me," I said, highly annoyed.

 "You cannot go around pretending you're magical, okay? Remember what your doctor said, if you want to stay out of the institution you have to behave," he said firmly and I glared at him.

 "He stole my wand!" I snapped and Potter put a hand on my shoulder.

 "I'm sure he did, but Leah, you can use any stick from a tree, alright?"

 "I cannot!" I protested.

 "Dudley, I'll think we'll leave now before she goes into another episode..." one of his friends said uneasily and they all made hasty excuses, running off.

 "Now I can actually do some damage," I said, rounding on Dudley.

 "Leah, that's the second time this week! We may be able to keep saying your insane, but what happens when you do accidental magic? You need to control yourself," Potter said sternly.

 "He was using my wand to pick at a dead bird! How can you possibly agree that, that is okay?" I asked angrily.

 "It isn't okay," Potter said, glaring at Dudley.

 "All right then," I said and pointed my wand at Dudley.

 "Sectumsempra!" I snapped, and then things got messy.

 "What happened?" Petunia screamed and I widened my eyes.

 "He just, I don't know, fell out of the tree!" I said frantically.

 "My baby's going to die," she sobbed and Potter gaped at me.

 "Can't you fix him?" he asked, swallowing hard.
