Rose (H.P. FanFic) 4

Chapter One

Deathly Hallows
_________________

I walk down the street. 4 Privet Drive. I wanted to meet my family at least once, before this war happens. I see a car in the street, full with luggage and boxes on a trailer. 4 Privet Drive. This is it.

The door to the house was open. I walk up and enter the house. I see Harry at a doorway, talking to someone. "You didn't just lose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow, you know. I lost a sister." I hear a woman's voice say.

I walk forward, "Harry." I say to get his attention. He looks towards me, not seeming surprised to see me. I step up until I was in the doorway with him.

I look into an empty living room and see a tall woman, she gasps when she sees me, tears building in her eyes. "Lily?" she whispers.

I give her a sad smile, "Rose, actually... Aunt Petunia." I say to her. She looks to Harry, and he gives her a nod.

She gives me a smile as she dries her tears. "I'm happy I got to meet you." was all she said to me sounding a bit strained, before exiting the room, she pauses at the door before continuing out.  I sigh, and turn to Harry as he places his hand on my back. 

We walk out of the house, Our uncle and cousin exit the car as our Aunt enter it. "This isn't just goodbye boy, no, this is farewell." Uncle Vernon tells Harry, I stay a few feet behind, waiting.

"I don't understand. Isn't he coming with us?" Dudley questions confused.

"Who?" Vernon questions.

"Harry." Dudley clarifies.

"Absolutely Not." Vernon tells him.

"Why?" Dudley questions.

"Well, because -- he doesn't want to, do you, boy?" Vernon stutters, looking back towards Harry.

Harry quickly shakes his head. "Absolutely not. Besides, I'm just a waste of space. Isn't that right, Vernon?" Harry says, and Vernon stares at him for a second, before turning back to the car.

"Come on, Dudley, we're off." Vernon says, going to get into the car. But Dudley doesn't move to enter the car. He closes his door and walk over towards us, as Vernon watches in disbelief.

Dudley slowly holds his hand out for Harry to shake, which he does, "I don't think you're a waste of space." Dudley tells him, a bit awkwardly.

"Well, thanks." Harry says, a bit awkwardly.

Dudley looks towards me, "Good to finally meet you... Rose." Dudley says to me, holding a hand out for me to shake, which I do.

"Good to meet you too, Dudley." I tell him, with a small smile.

He gives both of us nods, and starts to head back to the car. He nearly trips, but recovers giving us awkward smiles, before getting into the car. And they drive away.

--------------------

I sit on the steps as Harry gets all his things ready to leave. I see lights approach before I heard the roar of an engine. They're here. I stand as Harry rushes to the door, wand in hand. He opens the door. 

"'ello 'arry" Hagrid greets, as Ron hugs Harry. 

"Ron." As Ron lets go, Hermione replaces him in the hug for Harry. "Hermione." Harry greets, as he hugs.

"What? No love for me?" I joke towards them, and Ron gives me a hug. Than Hermione.

"Yeh look fit." Hagrid tells Harry when he looks back to him.

Moody then enters the house, "Yeah, he's ruddy gorgeous. What say we get undercover before someone murders him." Moody says as he passes us, entering into the barren living room.
