Harry Potter's sister ~~~ Fanfiction

reunited part 16

Harry jumped out of the car before Vernon could stop him and ingrain the threats that he had prepared for his abomination of a nephew.

"Boy! Come back here now!"

But Harry had already run into the house and didn't hear his Uncle.

He burst into the bedroom door that so long ago belonged to his cousin but now belonged to…

"Emma!" he said softly

"Harry!" she said equally softly

For a mere second Harry stood in the doorway and Emma sat on her bed. Then as if synchronised they each ran towards the other and engulfed each other in a hug that was so very long overdue.

"Three hundred!" said Emma.

"What? asked Harry, perplexed.

"At the end of your letter you asked me how long since we were last together." said Emma smiling through her damp eyes "The answer: 300 days… to the day, exactly!"

"Wow." said Harry.

Emma giggled "Like I told you, I was bored."

Harry leant down and kissed her on the forehead, his own eyes a little damp. "I'm sorry!"

"Harry don't be. You had to go. We agreed on this. Now soon you can show me." She pulled her head back and for the first time in nearly a year, 300 days, eyes of emerald green met hazel brown. "I've gotten through the hardest part. Now that I have my big brother back with me, I can deal with anything. Soon it will be my turn to enter the Wizarding World and I want you with me all the way."

"Always Emma. You will always have me." Harry promised.

They once more pulled each other into a tight hug. Harry was now far away from home. But he was finally reunited with the person in the world who meant the most to him. His sister: Emma Potter.

Life at Private Drive had dropped to probably the lowest it had been in over a year for the two Potter children. It had been a month since Harry had arrived home and he had received no mail from the Wizarding World or any of his friends. Vernon had also decided that Hedwig had caused enough grievances for the Dursley family last year and chose to padlock her cage. As a result the Dursley's could now starve both Potter children like it was 1989, and promptly did so. Harry had promptly told Vernon that he would be telling Hagrid as soon as he saw him, and any other Witch or Wizard he encountered. He had actually used undesirable words around the Dursley's so he and his sister ended up being punished. Now they had to do a mass of chores in and out of the house while Dudley sat gloating at them.

Both Potters were exhausted, over the course of the last month they had probably been fed just over a third of what they should have been. Emma was in an even worse state, during the week before Harry got back, when he was in his coma, her appetite had been off and she had eaten the equivalent of about three meals over the course of that week, mostly left over sweets and pasties that Harry had sent her for Christmas. Both of them were used to not getting fed enough, as a result of the 10 years before they met Hagrid.

Petunia's cooking had improved somewhat over the last month, so much so that Vernon was far more willing to let her feed the Dursley portion of the household. He was also willing to entrust her skills tonight as he had invited around a rich builder, whom he hoped to sell a lot of drills to, and his wife. Of course the Potters were ordered to remain in their room and "to make no noise and pretend we're not there."
