A/N this is a rough draft. Now im asking for a few things first thing is should I do the snake scene or go straight to hogwarts?
P.S dialogue and paragraphs got all wonky on me for some reason.
Chapter one:
Private Drive, 1990.
A small five year
dressed in black jeans and a pink top marked by flowers stared around
with frighten muddy brown eyes. Her hand moved to push back the lost
strands of light brown hair out of her face. Where am I? Her
eyes trailed frantically for any clue of what was going on, then she
heard it, the chilling voice of an unfamiliar women.
Head toward
Private lane drive Skye, there you will stay with some strange
people until the time has come, go on my little hero begin your
destiny.
Skye didn't know who the embedded voice belong to but followed its order walking up to a large crackling white door reaching on extended
tip toes to ring the door bell. She stood their hands crossed in
front nervously, what if the voice was wrong?
The door opened to a large couple, a man with a bushy mustache and
glaring eyes, and a women with eyes that looked upon her in
disbelief. There she stood as the two bickered about what to do.
Finally with great reluctance the women won and she felt a soft hand
push her inside the looming living room, sitting down on a large
light brown couch.
The women smiled, “ My name is aunt
petunia what is your name?” she asked.
Skye looked at the women smiling, she
seemed safe enough to trust she thought,
" Hi aunt Petunia I'm Skye” she
said moving a hand, she didn't know why but it felt the thing to do.
The man looked at her, a vein beginning
to bulged on his lower neck region,
“ And where may I ask little lady is
your parents? Why were you all alone this time of the night?” he
asked.
Skye looked at him curious, she didn't
have a clue about anything up until the moment.
“ I don't have any” she said simply
her muddled brown eyes staring at the scruffy cream carpet below.
Aunt petunia heard looking to uncle vernon
“ oh do you hear that? Oh we can't just
send her off she's so adorable!” she exclaimed, “ she's like
Dudley when he was this age” she said.
The man growled his annoyance,
“ Very well she can stay. Only until
we find out who she belongs to then shes out” he declared. Looking
down to Skye, “ refer to me only as Vernon do you understand young
lady” he asked.
She bobbled her head,
“ Yes sir” she said white diamonds
flashed across her beaming smile,
Aunt petunia beamed holding out
welcoming arms,
“ come dear let go meet your new
brother” she said scooping Skye up in gentle arms.
Skye beamed burrowing her soft face
into the crook of her neck, looking around the large room. They
stopped in the kitchen where a large boy sat hovering over a large
pile of chocolate cake, smears of darken cocoa littered his face as
beady black eyes glared at the newest stray that made home in his
house.
Aunt petunia smiled at her pride and
joy setting Skye down on the white tiled floor,
“ Now dear this is Dudley your big
brother, Dudley say hello to Skye, she will be staying with us” she
said.
Dudley waddled over to her, his
footsteps shaking the ground underneath Skye it seemed,
“ Oi I'm in charge got it, you do
what ever I want” he said.
Skye nodded moving to hug Dudley “
Yes sir” she said.
Dudley pushed her away,
“ And none of that squirt” he said
before going back to his abandoned cake.
Skye watched Dudley inhale the ever
shrinking pile of cake when a small frame caught her eyes, a small
boy that looked to be her age hidden beneath the crackling white
painted door. She moved closer to the boy and smiled when they were
face to face.
“ I'm Skye” she said.
The boy looked pushing the bridge of
his glasses back on his noise whispering softly,
“ H-Harry” he stammered.
Skye beamed looping her arms around the
boy in a sloppy hug beaming, her attention was diverted as aunt
petunia called her back, allowing harry to disappear once again to
his room to play with his small plastic soldiers.
*******
Durdley's, Five years later
For the first years Uncle Vernon and
Aunt petunia were nice to Skye, they fed her, gave her a room to her
self, had girls adventure with aunt petunia. Then as if a
switch flipped in the two whatever veil they were covered were
removed revealing their hatred. They mistreated her just as they did
with harry. They still gave her hand me downs of cousins but she moved
toward the cupboard with harry, the two of them shared chores, becomming closer than they ever had.
Dudley tried once to mess with her, at
that moment the shadows surrounded him like snapping dogs on a
defenseless rabbit, he never bullied her again and was less brutal on harry than before. The shadows followed skye like companions, it was a warm
relief to know she had something looking out for her.
Skye grew also, she no longer wore
colorful garments. She wore a black leather jacket with a simple gray
T-shirt her jeans were tattered from age. Her once stubby legs grew
as muscles filled in from days of running and of course fighting, her
once muddled curious brown eyes turned frigid. Her once curly locks
of brown strands wilted to straight strands of black.
She looked to Harry one day out of
curiosity and asked what happened to his parents.
Harry stared back and shrugged “ They
died when I was younger.” he said looking to her “ do you
remember your parents?” he asked.
She gave a shy smile, “ I have these
dreams of this tall man sitting on a throne he reminds me of an older
me. That's all I can remember” she said sadly. She heard the
ferocious yells of an approaching uncle Vernon,
“ all be right back seems uncle
Vernon found out about charlie.” she said walking forward, dead man walking she thought.
Uncle Vernon loomed over Skye as if an
avenging angel seeking vengeance on the pitiful excuse of a soul
before him. The veins that wrapped around his forehead like a
constricting python throbbed in rage.
“ Skye, do you know why you're here?
What occurred in school today?” he asked, his teeth turning to
gravel from the grounding knot he was forming on his jaw.
Skye looked defiantly, “ I merely
protected myself.” she stated, not backing down.
Uncle Vernon exploded, “ No, what you
did was break his nose, and freak him out? What am I hearing about
shadows attacking him? He demanded.
Skye looked, “ charlie is a liar and
a sore loser. I admit I punched him in self defense but the rest is a
tall tale” she lied.
Uncle Vernon grumbled annoyance, “
You think I'm that stupid? Go to your cupboard your grounded” He
hollered.
Skye smiled a flame of rebellion flared
in her eyes as she curtsied.
“ As you wish” she said before
skipping back to the cupboard, this would cost her, but it was worth
any punishment to hear the roar that echoed from uncle Vernon.
She returned looking deep into Harry's
large round eyes and smiled
“ Someday you and me, we'll leave
this place.” she promised, she didn't know how she knew this would
happen, but she was determine to witness that day.
“ Now lets get to bed, tomorrow is the perfect Dudley Wudley's birthday” she said sarcastically.
Harry laughed, “ Night” he said
sending them both into a drift less slumber.
