The Potter Twins

1.

Unlike her brother, Hailey had long gorgeous flowing dark brown hair and hazel eyes that matched her fathers. Harry however had short and messy dark brown hair and green eyes that matched his mothers. The day had started like any other, they were violently awoken by their uncle Vernon. Whereas Hailey enjoyed to call him 'big head man' because to her he had a head the size of a tire on a car. Hailey and Harry grew up knowing that they had magic running through their veins because one time when they were 6 aunt petty betty decided to chop their hair off because she thought their long hair made them look homeless. The next day their hair had grown out back to the length it was, as if it had never been cut in the first place. Of course many other things happened but that certain one had always struck Haileys attention. However, what they didn't know was how exactly their parents died. They were always told that their parents had died in a car crash and that's how Harry got a lightning shaped scar on the right side of his forehead just beneath his hair, and how Hailey got the lightning shaped scar on the left side of her ribcage. Hailey being slightly more intelligent than her brother didn't exactly believe the story but knew she would get grounded if she had asked more about it. At the Dursleys house they weren't treated well. They shared a very small room under the stairs and only worn clothes that Dudley didn't wear no more. They were obviously very loose on Harry but they looked even worse on Hailey.

Which truly did make her look like a homeless person. You see Dudley is.. well.. hes chunky. Hailey had made him a nickname 'oompa loompa' when they were five. Hailey never liked Dudley. Not only was he a spoiled prat but he always picked on Harry. Even though Harry is slightly older she still felt the need to protect him. She loved him with all her heart as so did he. But of course they never called him that to his face. They would wait until it was just them two and started cracking jokes.

Every morning they get woken up to do chores and make food but when visitors come they get locked in their 'room' and are threated to not make any sound. However on this particular morning the Dursleys had no choice but to take Hailey and Harry to the zoo with them for Dudley's birthday.

-Hailey's POV-

I jump out of my bed, hitting my head on the low ceiling shortly after being woken up from my screeching uncle. Who was waking me and Harry up to make breakfast for them. I quickly brush my long hair and wake my brother up and walk out of the room.

"well what are you waiting for. Make us our breakfast little girl!" Uncle Vernon screeched out, glaring at me through his ugly squinted eyes. I give him a small sarcastic smile before turning around and rolling my eyes. Till this day I still wonder who decided that we should live with the Dursleys. I hated them and so did Harry. But half the time he pretended as if they didn't even bother him. Its crazy how he can hide so much hatred for these people, I find my self struggling everyday to not give them a piece of my mind.

What.. I cant help it.. Its just who I am.

As soon as I walk into the kitchen Harry comes sprinting into the room. I look over my shoulders and giggle at the sight of his messy harry and his crooked glasses. He returns my gesture with a smile and fixes his hair and glasses.

"Good morning too you too Hailey." He says bumping his elbow into my side slightly which only makes me laugh more.

"Has it ever occurred to you that you look ridiculous when you wake up." He scrunches his nose at me and grabs a frying pan and walks over to the fridge and starts grabbing bacon and eggs.

"this isn't social hour." I hear from behind me. I turn around and look uncle Vernon in the eyes.

"Has is ever occurred to you that I don't care." I knew what I said was wrong but I couldn't help it. Im tired of them pushing us around. It makes me sick that they cant even act civil with their own niece and nephew. Then again Aunt Petunia always tried to hide the fact that she was related to our mother. For what reason im unsure. But I was always sure as hell to find out. "Can you explain to me again why you act as if we are burdens.. why did you hate your sister so much. remind me please?" I say turning my head to the awfully tall women. She was glaring at me through a smile and boy if looks could kill.

I would be dead.

She hated whenever I mention our mom, Lily Potter. Just before she could scowl me Dudley came running in like a mad man and started jumping when he saw his presents. Of course this didn't last long whenever he saw how many there were.

"How many are there!?" he yelled to his cockroach of parents.

"36 counted them myself."

"36 BUT LAST YEAR- LAST YEAR I HAD 37!" see what I mean? a spoiled prat. I roll my eyes as I make my way behind the counter and start pouring drinks.

"but you see.. some of them are bigger than last year." Uncle Vernon said with slight panic in his voice. Isnt that kind of sad? That they are afraid of their own son? If I ever had a child like that they would get punished. But for him, he just got more stuff to prevent him from having a tantrum. Which never really worked because either way he still through his tantrums.

"I DONT CARE HOW BIG THEY ARE!" at this point aunt petunia had grabbed the idiotic little boys hands to keep him back as if he were a wild animal ready to pounce.

"This is what we are gonna do. We are gonna go out and buy you two more presents. How's that pumpkin." she said with a smile and running her fingers through his hair.

And so after they ate. Yes you heard me, they. We left the house and went to the zoo. It was the perfect place for the Dursleys, they would fit perfectly in with the monkeys and the rats.

But there I was. Standing next to my brother and my cousin who was banging on the glass and yelling at the snake to move. Boy was this kid stupid.

"He's sleeping !" my brother slightly yelled at the Oompa Loompa.

"He's boring." he says before taking his leave and looking at the other animals in the zoo. I sigh and poke my brother slightly and smile at him. He gives me a weak smile before we both turn our attention to the snake.

"Sorry about him. He doesn't understand what its like to sit there day after day. watching people press their ugly faces in on you. " I said looking at the snake and giving it an apologetic look. Not shortly after did it get up and stare back at my brother and I, leaving both of us wide eyed and shocked.

"c-can you hear us?" my brother croaks out earning a nod from the snake which makes me furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "Its just.. ive never talked to a snake before..do you.. I mean, talk to people often?" The snake shook his head slightly.

"you're from Burma aren't you? Was it nice there?-" I ask giving the snake a confused look.

"Do you miss you're family?" My brother says finishing my sentence. The snake pointed its head to a sign on the other side of the cage.

Bred in captivity

I couldn't help but feel bad for the snake. Although It was like us. We never got to meet our parents and we grew up trapped in a place that we didn't want to be. I found my self feeling bad for the poor creature.

"that's us as well. We never knew our parents either." I say right before Dudley comes running over and pushing us to the ground.

"MUM! DAD! COME HERE YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT THIS SNAKE IS DOING !!" He screeched out shoving us out of the way and onto the floor. I groan and lift myself up so that I was sitting up straight. He put his hands on the glass and leaned forward, acting as if he never saw anything cooler. Then out of no where it was like the glass disappeared and he had fallen through and into the cage.

The next day started like any other.

We were beckoned from our food to make them breakfast. I made a snarky comment which made me get sent out of the room to receive the mail. As I left I could hear them murmuring about how I was a no good child and blah blah. I couldn't care less because if anything they didn't deserve to have us potters in their house. Wiping the annoyed look off my face I bent over and grabbed the mail and skimmed over the letters while slowly walking back into the dining room. That's when I saw a letter addressed to "the potter twins; to the cupboard under the stairs".
