Chapter 4
At home Harry was sent to the cupboard, after being yelled at by Vernon. Dudley was in the kitchen stuffing his face and I was in my room, pacing and thinking about what had happened earlier.
I had made the wind flair up around me. And Ihad scared Dudley out of his wits. Harry had made the glass disappear, though. Does that mean whatever I am Harry's the same? Does it mean we're related or something? I was freaked.
I heard a slight knock on the door and it opened. Petunia walked in carrying a plate consisting of steak, mashed potatoes, and corn. I looked hungrily at the plate.
"Vernon didn't want to disturb your thoughts so I brought this up." she said giving me the plate. I took it gratefully.
"You also got some mail." she said handing me a beige envelope with my name on it. I took it and set it down without looking at it and started eating.
"Aren't you going to read it dear?" Petunia asked, glancing at the letter.
"It's probably from Angie. She's in Brazil." I replied pausing only to answer her.
"Oh, okay. Bring your plate down when you're done." she said walking out.
I finished quickly and found myself in my room again with nothing to do. I sat on my bed and grabbed a piece of paper. I started to doodle like I always did when I was bored. This time though it was actually something, I didn't know what though. I continued to draw for an hour. When I was done I stared in amazement.
It was me. I looked different, though. Scared, in pain, and dying. My face was paler than usual and I had hollow cheeks. I was very skinny and had a weird robe on. I was in a basement or something. A man who looked a lot like a serpent stood next to me, smiling evilly and twisting a stick. It was very dark where I was and I had a... scar? On my forehead. Like Harry, the little lightning bolt was clear and pronounced. But why?
My thoughts were interrupted by snores. I walked out of my room and tip toed down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a banana and one scoop of strawberry ice cream. I took the banana because They definitely wouldn't notice that missing. The same with the ice cream.
I walked to Harry's cupboard and opened it slightly. Harry was laying down his eyes closed.
"Harry?" I whispered. "Are you awake?"
"Yes," he said opening his eyes and sitting up. I gave him the bowl and banana and he took both, graciously. "You know," he said. "I don't really understand what happened at the zoo today. I didn't try to do that but I wished that the glass would disappear so they both would fall in and it happened. It was like..." He stopped.
"Magic?" I suggested.
"Yeah, exactly." He quieted down again and started eating.
"I want to know why Vernon blames you for the most unusual things. Like how could you make the glass disappear. You were on the floor and I couldn't see any button by you so could you do it?" I said. I was mad at the Dursleys for blaming Harry. He probably didn't do it.
Harry finished and I got up. "I'll see you tomorrow morning." I said. He smiled and cclosed his cupboard.
