Imperfection Harry Potter x reader

Chapter One

Hi,I'm Y/N Merlin. As you can likely tell from my last name I'm related to Merlin. Because of that I'm expected to be some sort of amazingly powerful witch, which is difficult, because that also means I'm accepted to be perfect, which I'm not. I am powerful, but being powerful doesn't 100% fill the space,by powerful they mean can do every spell perfectly,know all important legends and other things,be able to do wordless and wandless magic,be amazing at everything ever you that involves magic. Then there's all the things I have to be taught be a proper lady,be amazing at every subject in muggle school,7th year level magic before even starting Hogwarts,flying,knowing dozens of languages,how to evens myself without magic. I can do all of those things but I'm still nowhere near perfect. I cannot for the life of me wait patiently,I'm incredibly clumsy,I try so hard not to make anyone have to do anything I often put more then I can handle on my shoulder and I'm only eleven.

I'm also the heir to Slytherin. I hate that about myself. It means I'm related to Voldemort. Because of that some people are scared of me. Not a lot though since I'm also related to Merlin. You know what I think is a bit odd everyone believes Merlin is pretty much the best Wizard to ever exist, He is,But allay everyone hates Slytherin and Merlin was in Slytherin.

Anyhow I'm going to the Dursley's because even though it's my parent's job to make sure Harry is ok they want me to go over a lot because the Dursley's really like me and they'll get less suspicious if I show up a lot.

Up until I wax 9 I always assumed after I go to hogwarts I would go a lot since they're going to hate me after I go. Then I realized my parents are just gong to make up a school I'm going to instead of Hogwarts.

I got my Hogwarts letter back on my birthday, B/D. I also got a pretty and magic necklace from my parents

I also went to Diagon Ally and got my wand. Wands actually. Two wands just floated out of their boxes and into my hand and glowed.

From what I've heard the wands are from a prophecy about a witch who will help the chosen one in his quest. What quest I wonder.

I'm at the Dursley's now. I knock on the door and Petunia answers. As soon as she sees me she smiles and says, "Y/N, you must be here Dudley's birthday!"

It's his birthday? Looks like I'll be giving him the chocolate I have in my bag.

"Yeah," I say. I don't want to upset her, I need the Dursley's to like me and if their upset at me then well that wouldn't be good. I just don't want to upset her,Ok.

I walk into the kitchen to see Harry cooking and Dudley pitching a fit about getting less presents than last year.

"Look, Y/N brought you a present!" Petunia says. "Here," I say handing him a box of chocolates. "That's still less then last year!" Dudley yells.

Eventually the adults tell Dudley they will get him new presents at the zoo. Apparently they're going to the zoo.

"I best be off," I say turning around to leave. "Why don't you go to the zoo with us?" Petunia asks. "Sure," I say.

I don't really like the zoo but anything to stay on her good side. Even if not wanting to go to the zoo won't get on her bad side I'll be on a better side.

When we're at the zoo we're standing near a Snake's cage. "Make it move!" Dudley yells. Vernon starts tapping on the glass. The snake doesn't do anything.

"Do it again," Dudley orders. Vernon raps on the glass with his knuckles, but the snake just snoozes on.

"This is boring," Dudley says before shuffling away.

That poor snake must get that all the time. I bet it's bored. It's probably bored out of its mind. That poor snake just sits there while people press their faces to the glass. How would they feel if someone did that to them?

The snake suddenly opens its eyes. Slowly,very slowly,it raises its head until his eyes are leveled with Harry's. Ok, so he's doing it because of Harry. For once it isn't me a snake is looking at or something. While I kind of like being able to speak to snakes and all since I'm the heir to Slytherin as I said earlier I hate that fact about me.

I must have spaced out because next thing I know Dudley is pushing Harry out of the way so he can see the snake.

One second Piers and Dudley we're leaning against the glass the next they're leaping back with howls of horror.

The Glass in front of the boa constructors cage has vanished. The great snake is uncoiling itself rapidly,slithering our onto the floor. People throughout the reptile house scream and start running for the exits.

The zoo keeper makes  Petunia a cup is strong, sweet tea while he apologizes over and over again. Dudley can only gibber. As far I saw the snake only snapped playfully at his heels, but by the time we're back in their car,Dudley is telling about how it nearly but his leg off.

When I leave and am about 20 feet away from the Dursley's and almost at my house I hear Vernon yelling at Harry. The thing is it could've been me that made the glass disappear by mistake. While I don't want Harry to get all the blame, I can't take any of it without telling them I'm a witch. They would not at all react well. So, that's my happening because that would make it so my parents wouldn't be able to do their job as easily.

I imagine they would be watching him through the Dursley's windows or something like that. It would be funny to see though.
