The Unnamed Potter: Left Behind

Chapter 2

After the incident at the zoo, this earned Harry and Emberlyn their longest punishment until the summer holidays officially started. Emberlyn was glad that school was over but they still had to deal with Dudley's gang who would visit almost every day. They even started to make a game about hunting Harry resulting in them spending more and more time outside at parks or taking walks. The majority of the time Harry left her behind because many people would tease her about her clothes being too big or her being so small.

Once it was getting closer to the end a July Dudley was informed of going to his new school and so was Harry. They both assumed they would be going to the same schools but that was wrong. Dudley was going to Smeltings while Harry would attend Stonewall High, the local comprehensive school.

The next morning Emberly woke to a foul smell, she shooked Harry awake and they both walked in the kitchen. They noticed a pot sitting on the stove filled with clothes and dye.

"What's this?" they both asked in unison

"Your new school uniform, I'm dyeing some of Dudley's old clothes grey for you. It'll look just like everyone else's when I've finished." she said. Emberly plugged her nose and began making breakfast with Harry.

There was a click at the door indicating the mail arrived.

"Get the post, Dudley," Uncle Vernon said, not looking up from his paper. For once Harry and Emberly didn't have to do something but she was wrong. Dudley began complaining.

"Make Harry get it."

"Fine Harry, you get the post," he said, still not looking up from the paper. "Why, you asked Dudley to get it first." he complained back.

Emberly Knew instantly that it was a big mistake talking back. She watched the scene in front of her. Dudley attempted to poke Harry with a stick but missed. She always heard Uncle Vernon calling it his "smelting stick".

Harry then picked up the mail and gave all but one to Uncle Vernon. His eyes were glued to the name written on it. Emberly joined him and read it with amazement in her eyes. Mail for Harry, she was a bit disappointed that there was none for her but that's beside the point.

"Dad! Dad, Harry got mail!" Dudley screamed. Uncle Vernon then snatched the letter out of Harry's grasp. "That's mine," Harry said, trying to snatch back the letter. "Who'd write to you?" He sneered.

He opened the letter and his face went red as a tomato. It suited him she thought since his face was as round as one. 

"This letter isn't his, it was addressed to him accidentally.". Rage started to build up inside both the Potters.

"How would the sender know exactly where he sleeps, exactly where he lives if it wasn't for him!" She screamed. She also began trying to reach the letter as well as Harry and Dudley. Aunt Petunia reached for the letter and read the first line and turned paler than she already was.

"I want to read the letter," Dudley said loudly

"I want to read it as it is mine," Harry said furiously

"Get out, all of you" Uncle Vernon croaked.

Emberly notices how his voice didn't sound as demanding as normal meaning the letter was something serious making her want to read the letter more.

None of the kids moved. They all desperately wanted to see the letter.

"What can't we see the letter!" She yelled. This was getting way too out of hand for a silly letter. "Let me see it," Dudley demanded.
