omega at Hogwarts

2

The week got stranger and stranger. For some reason Petunia and Vernon has decided to give Harry Dudley's spare bedroom the evening of the first letter. The next day, more letters arrived. This continued on through the week, driving Vernon downright mad. He was doing everything he could to stop the letters but nothing was working. On Sunday he downright snapped. He got all of us to pack a bag, and got in the car. Unfortunately I had to leave Emily's gift but hoped I would return in time to open it. 

We drove and drove until we arrived at a gloomy hotel where we stayed the night. The following morning the hotel's owner came over to us and asked, "Scuse me, are any of you Mr. H. potter or Miss. A. Potter." He says while holding up two letters addressed to me and my twin. only got about a 'undred of them at the front desk." 

Harry went to snatch the letters but Vernon took them instead. Almost immediately he was sending us back to the car and onto the road. I blocked everything out as we drove and then boated to where we were going to be staying. I didn't like being this far from my nest so long, not that any of them except Harry cared and all he could really do was hold me. 

We arrived at this old worn down shack that only had two rooms and I promptly curled up in the corner of the room and pulled out the stuffed fox I had had since I was young, holding it close in an attempt to find some form of comfort. 

I don't fall asleep that night and neither does Harry. At exactly midnight there is a loud knock on the front door causing me to withdraw impossibly more into myself just before the door crashes to the floor and a giant of a man steps through. "couldn't make me a cup a tea could ya? Not been an easy journey." He says as he walks over to the sofa and sits down. "Budge up, yuh great lug." He says to Dudley who promptly scrambled up and hides behind his parents. 

"Ah, here's Harry. Where's ya sister?" He asks before scanning his eyes across the room before spotting me in the corner. He smiles at me and I feel myself calm down slightly. "Last I saw you two, you were only babies. You look like your dad Harry, but you've both got your mum's eyes." 

"I demand that you leave at once sir. you are breaking and entering." Vernon shouts nervously at the large man. 

"Ah, shut up Dursley, ya great prune." The large man retorts before grabbing Vernon's gun and bending it before throwing it against the far wall. "Anyway, Harry, Ari, happy birthday to yeh both. got something for ya both. I sat on it at some point but it'll taste fine." He pulls out a slightly squished box and harry cautiously opens it before sliding it across the floor to me. 

The box stops Infront of me showing me a cake saying 'happy birthday potter twins.' in green icing making me smile and take a swipe of the icing with my fingers before sticking it in my mouth. I then grab one of the forks and dig in, enjoying the sweet rarity. 

I only pause when the large man hands me a letter. "I'm Hagrid, nice to see ya again Tiny." He says as he passes me the letter with my name on. I cautiously take the letter and open it, skimming over the writing. Once I finish reading the letter explaining I am a witch I go back to my cake knowing Harry will find out what we need to and make any decisions for me. 

At some point Dudley comes over and steals the cake from me. I don't say anything but Hagrid notices and points his umbrella at my cousin and suddenly he has a pig's tale making me laugh lightly. 

"Shouldn't have lost my temper. didn't work anyway, was trying to turn him into a pig but suppose he was already so much of a pig that there wasn't much else left to do. Would be grateful if you didn't mention that to anyone at Hogwarts. not meant to do magic, strictly speaking." 

"Why not?" I ask quietly and Hagrid shoots me a warm smile. 

"I was at Hogwarts myself, got expelled and my wand snapped in half. Dumbledore let me stay on as gamekeeper. great man Dumbledore." 

"Why'd you get expelled?" Harry asks. 

"Gotta get too sleep, got lost to do tomorrows. You can both sleep under this." He says as he passes Harry his huge coat. "Don't mind if it wriggles a bit, got a couple of dormice in the pockets." Harry nods and walks over to where I am curled up and lays down near me. I shuffle so that I am also laying down and curl up next to him, swiftly falling asleep.
