The Twin

The Potters

Harry's POV

I woke up to a scream coming from outside the cupboard. I was still half asleep and searching for my glasses as I realized something. Y/N wasn't here.

Oh no.

I quickly put on my glasses and ran out of the cupboard. All I could think of was that Y/N was screaming and that meant something bad happened. Then, there was yelling, and I turned to see Y/N, standing near Uncle Vernon's chair. 

Her oversized shirt that came down passed her knees was wet. It was dripping with coffee.

"Stupid girl! Why would you give me this coffee!?! Its way too hot! I burnt my tongue because of you! Clean up the floor because now theres glass and coffee that we might step in."

I saw Y/N hesitate before quickly cleaning up the area. I hurried over to where she was and helped her clean the mess.

I started thinking. Why us? Why couldn't we have normal lives, just like everyone else? Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia are the worst. Don't even get me started on Dudley. He is such a spoilt, round potato.

Y/N POV

I woke up to a loud noise coming from the cupboard door. Probably Aunt Petunia going to tell us to do stuff.

"Wake up! Make breakfast right now! My poor Dudley might starve if he doesn't eat as soon as possible." Pfft- he could lose some weight. He's fine.

I sat up on my bed and looked over at Harry. He was sleeping so peacefully that I didn't want to wake him up. You know what? I won't. He deserves to sleep after all he does for me.

I left my 'room' and started on breakfast. I made simple eggs and bacon, and started on making Uncle Vernon's coffee. As I finished, I noticed that it was really hot and wanted to leave it to sit for a while but I figured he would probably wait for it to cool off before drinking it.

I was wrong. He took a sip of the coffee and immediately spit it out. I screamed in pain as he threw the burning coffee, spilling it on me. I was frozen in place as I took in my surroundings. My chest was burning, a lot. There was glass shattered all over the floor. I had a few cuts in my legs from some shards of glass that had hit me.Uncle Vernon then started yelling at me. 

"Stupid girl! Why would you give me this coffee!?! Its way too hot! I burnt my tongue because of you! Clean up the floor because now theres glass and coffee that we might step in." I slowly bent over and started cleaning the floor. Every time I moved my arms, it hurt. My chest hurt. My legs hurt. I just wanted to leave this place I was forced to call home.  Harry started cleaning up with me. We soon finished and started the dishes.

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

Uncle Vernon had left for work and Aunt Petunia was in the garden. Dudley was in his room, probably thinking of new names to call us, or new ways to get us in trouble. We had already finished the chores we had to do, so that meant we had time to ourselves. Harry and I went in our cupboard.

"Does it still hurt? From where he threw coffee at you?" I knew I had to tell him the truth. He could see right through my lies of saying 'I'm fine', but its worth a try anyway. "It doesn't really hurt that badly anymore." I spoke very confidently, hoping to fool him this time. 

He gave me this look that says 'Seriously' and I sighed as I pulled off my shirt to reveal the burn marks on my chest and inner part of my arms. We were very comfortable with each other, considering that we shared the cupboard, so we didn't really mind getting changed in front of the other.

He gasped at the burn marks and started searching for the cream we stole from Aunt Petunia. After I spread it on the marks, we decided to get to bed early. It was going to be Dudley's birthday tomorrow, which meant that we would have to deal with his complaints of not getting presents he wanted.

It was going to be a long day tomorrow, and I needed to sleep this pain away.
