"Get up! Get up , Now!" Aunt Petunia screeched , I looked next to me and saw Harry doing the same. I turned on my side away from the door and cuddled into the blanket that we share , Almost in an Instant Harrys Arm was around me and hugging me close to his Body. I swear hes the most over-protective brother in the world. Suddenly there was a loud bang from above us. 'Dudley' I thought to Harry and he nodded.

"Wake up Potters , we're going to the zoo!" Dudley yelled , still jumping on the stairs. I yawned and groggily sat up , with Harry in sync. I was about to go to the door when he pushed me back and opened it him-self , omly to be pushed inside the closet again and the door to be slammed in our faces. I growled under my breath and helped Harry up before opening the door my-self and trudging to the Kitchen with Hazza in step behind me. We opened the door to be met by the demands of Aunt Petunia.

"You , go over thhere and start the bacon , dont burn it." She spat at Harry. "Yes Aunt Petunia." Harry said in a monotone voice and went to the pan while she dealt with me. "Go get our drinks and dont spill them." She then said to me and pushed me towards the Fridge. I grumbled under my breath as she covered Dudleys eyes and going on about it being his special day and all that jazz. I opened the Fridge and got out Orange Juice and Milk. I strode over to the Kettle and flipped it on and got out 1 glass and 2 mugs , The Glass for Dudley and the 2 mugs for my Aunt and Uncle. I looked over at Harry and he sent a comforting gaze at me and we watched Dudley having a paddy over how many gifts he got together. 'He annoys me so much' I said to harry , through our Twin Telepathy. Its very useful , our twin thing , and we use it alot. 'I know , Lily , I know.' Harry thought back to me. Harry is the only one who I let call me Lily and Im the Only one that can call Harry James , We do it aloud to , but mostly in our heads. We both sent identical glares at Dudley before giving out our part of Breakfast.

The Dursleys walked out of the House and me and Harry followed with linked arms. We climbed into the very back (Aka, the boot) and the dursleys started the car and soon enough we were at London zoo, the reptilian house.

"Make it move." commanded pig- I. mean Dudley. Uncle Vernon tapped on the glass and shouted at it, when that didn't with Dudley tried himself. "MOVE!" he yelled banging on the glass.

" STOP IT! Can't you see its sleeping!" Harry and I shouted simultaneously. Dudley then went on about how it's boring and stomped away. Harry and I turned to the sleeping snake , it got up and winked at us. I know I can talk to snakes as there was a small grass snake in the Garden once and I had a conversation with it... I never told Harry this.

"-Where do you come from." Harry asked the snake , while giving me a confused look , probably because I wasn't freaking out over talking to a snake. The Brazillian Boa Co stricter pointed to the information place where it clearly stated it was from Brazil. I decided to talk this time.

"Do you miss your family?" I asked , the snake shook his head and pointed to the Sheet again , "Born in captivity," I read.

"that's just like us in a way , we never knew our parents either." Harry said, to which I nodded. Suddenly Dudley pushed me to the side and Harry was by me in seconds. He glared daggers at Dudley and the glass vanished! He fell right into the pool and the snake slithered up my leg (I was still on the floor) and said its thanks then flew from the reptile house. Just as Dudley got up , I got mad at him for pushing me and guess what?! The glass reappeared and I couldn't help but laugh as Aunt Petunia and Dudley did mimes. Uncle Vernon grabbed my ear and dragged me out and Harry looked like he could kill , while he trailed behind us.

Uncle Vernon threw me into the cupboard after I tried explaining what happened at the Zoo to him. I cradled my wrist to my body as I wept into the cover of Harry and mines bed. You see , Uncle Vernon exchanged my ear to my wrist after we left the Reptile house. Suddenly , I felt myself being cradled by none other than my Twin , I didn't realise that the door opened and he came in. He looked at my wrist and started cradling it himself while kissing my forehead , I don't know why he does it , but it calms me down. As soon as the pain went I fell asleep.

"Night James," I whispered to Harry and he kissed my forehead again before I drifted off to sleep in the Arms of my Brother.

Harry's POV

I watched my twin fall asleep in my arms , cradling her hurt wrist. Sometimes I just want to maim or seriously injure our

Aunt and Uncle and now is one of those times. I looked down at Lily and noticed her whimpering in her sleep , looks like I'm going into her mind again... I delved into her head to see what was worrying her and I saw what she was seeing. I was looking from the side and I see our Mum and Dad with one of us , Mum with me and Dad with Lily in his arms. Dad was doing something with a stick and mum was just watching while carrying me , suddenly there was a loud bang and her dream cut off. It must mean that it's time to wake up...
