Nichole Potter sighed as she walked into the Dursley's living room, immediately noticing the gross amount of presents that were littered on the floor and couches. Oh ya, today was Dudley's Birthday. Rolling her beautiful brown eyes, she immediately walked into the kitchen and turned the stove on before digging through the cupboards in order to grab a pan. Finding the desired object, she quickly put it on the stove top. She figured that she may as well start breakfast, since Harry had yet to wake up because he always managed to sleep later than her.

While she waited for the pan to warm up, she casually leaned against the corner of the counter and thought about what her and her brother would have to do today, absently reaching up one of her hands to stroke a long, fiery red lock of hair. Since today was their cousins birthday, they would have to make him breakfast, clean and put the dishes away, and then they were to go to the zoo, which she was actually quite looking forwards to.

She snapped out of her daze when she heard the soft footsteps of their Aunt Petunia coming down the stairs, and she rushed to the fridge in order to pull out the bacon, eggs, and toast, making sure not to drop any of the objects as she hurriedly placed them on the counter. When her Aunt came in, all she did was sneer at her before demanding why breakfast was not yet ready, even though it was still early in the morning. Sighing to herself again, all she responded with was "Sorry Aunt Petunia" before focusing on er task at hand, wondering when Harry would emerge from the little room they shared in the closet under the stairs.

"You can say that again" Nichole sighed as she leaned back on her hands, closing her eyes as she turned her face towards the sun, "I swear Aunt Petunia is buying all those thorny flowers on purpose, just to torture us a bit more, because they are just plain ugly" she complained. No one in there right mind would think that some of the flowers their aunt managed to get her greedy little hands on were in any way pretty, Actually, the last time she had come in with bloody hands caused by the thorns on the flowers, her Aunt had smacked her because a drop of blood had landed on the floor.

Shaking her head to clear the awful memory from her mind, she tensed as she heard the thundering steps of Dudley coming down the stair, immediately jumping to her feet and pulling Harry up with her. Dragging him over to the side of the car, she watched warily as the family came out through the door, Dudley pushing Harry and herself out of the way as he climbed in first.

Before she herself could get in, Uncle Vernon painfully grasped her arm and confronted her and her brother, a mean look on his chubby face. "Now, If there is any...funny business, any at all, you two won't be getting any meals for a week!.... and a day!" he told them firmly.

Harry plainly wanted to retort with something like 'like we get any food on a weekly basis anyway' but bit his tongue lightly to keep from actually speaking the words that would actually cause him to get chained to his cot. "Yes, Uncle Vernon." He said obediently, trying not to show the pain coursing through his arm in his voice.

When his uncle finally released his tight grip, Harry crawled in the backseat between Dudley and Nichole. While Him and Nichole were skinny enough to fit on one seat, Dudley was fat enough to take up two, meaning the back seat was cramped even with his and his sisters skinny physique.

As the Dursley's pulled out of the driveway, Nichole huddled as close as she could to the door of the car, trying to take up as little space as she could so that Harry could have more room to get away from the elephant in the car..... well elephant calf, the elephant was somehow driving. She turned her attention to the window of the car as she absently rubbed her sore arm, knowing that there were going to be hand shaped bruises by morning.

When they finally reached the zoo, she softly slipped out of the car and trailed behing the Dursley's, rolling her eyes as she watched Aunt Petunia start fussing over Dudley. Leaning into her brother, she put her mouth close to his ear so that she wouldn't be overheard. "When we get in, lets go straight to the reptiles" she whispered. One bright point about the reptiles was that Aunt Petunia absolutely hated them, and the other bright point was that she felt a certain kind of connection to them that she just couldn't explain.

Harry nodded quickly almost as soon as his sister's suggestion had been voiced. "Yeah, reptiles sound good." He murmured, softly, watching the Dursley's warily, keeping a certain distance back so that "people don't suspect they're related" as Aunt Petunia had put it as they were getting out of the car.

Honestly, with how they were treated, you'd never suspect that their mother was Aunt Petunia's sister. Heck, you wouldn't even suspect Aunt Petunia had a sister.

Nichole smiled at her brother's easy agreement, immediately pulling him in the direction as soon as they were in. For once she actually felt like she was a normal kid as she passed all the animals in the cages, feeling a sharp pang of sympathy for them, since she knew very well how it felt to have your freedom snatched away from you before you even got to experience it.

When they finally reached a large snake pen, she dropped her brother's hand as she approached the glass, admiring the beautiful scales and long body of the serpent. Looking at her brother, she gave him a bright smile. "Isn't he gorgeous Harry?" she asked, turning her attention back to the python, noticing that it was asleep. "But why would they keep something this beautiful locked up?" she asked herself out loud as she studied the snake with a sad gaze.

"Because some people live to give other's pain and make themselves feel good?" Harry suggested, a tinge of bitterness in his voice as he observed and admired the snake. He definitely agreed with Nichole, it was a very beautiful snake, but all pent up and trapped. It was a shame.

It wasn't but a few minutes later with some annoying kids tapping on the glass that the snake was roused from its rest. The snake gazed at the kids that had disturbed it before looking over at Nichole and Harry and rolling it's eyes. It happens all the time It hissed, causing Harry to jump.

"Did you hear that?" He asked, staring at Nichole wide-eyed.

Nichole's eyes were as wide as saucers when she turned to her brother and nodded. Shaking her head, she tried to look at this logically, maybe it hadn't been the snake, just someone around them that had spoken up at just the right moment in time.

Deciding to test her theory. she hesitantly approached the glass and gently touched her hand on it."U- Um excuse me, but did you just talk to us?" she asked the snake, trying hard not to feel foolish about talking to a reptile. She startled though when she saw the snake clearly nod it's his head. yesss my dear, and you underssstand me?" the snake responded. Looking over at her brother, she didn' know whether to be happy or scared.

"Please tell me you hear this too?" she begged, hoping she wasn't just crazy.

"I hear it." Harry agreed, walking up to the glass in excitement and placing his hand up beside Nichole's. "Where are you from?" He asked, wanting to enjoy this before the Dursley's decided to show up and ruin it all.

The snake merely flicked it's tail to a sign to there right that read 'Brazil', and then at a sign under it, saying 'This reptile was bred and raised in this zoo.'

"Life as a captive hu, just like us." Harry sighed, looking over at Nichole sorrowfully.

"You're a captive? I don't sssee any glasssss around you." The snake hissed a bit disdainfully, but then looked at the twins a bit more attentively. "Then again, your much differant than mossst of the children that come to ssstare at me. In more waysss than jussst that you underssstand me."

Nichole blinked in confusion, her brown eyes narrowed in concentration, was it because they were so skinny? "What do you mean by different?" she asked, leaning her ear closer to the glass.

Before the snake could answer, she was roughly shoved away from the glass by Dudley, letting out a gasp of pain as she fell on the hard ground, causing tears to spring into her eyes. Taking a few deep breaths like she always does when she is hurt, she managed to push the wetness away from her eyes as she looked up at her hippo of a cousin.

"Mom! Mom! Come here! You wouldn't believe what this snake is doing" Dudley yelled, pressing his pudgy hands and face against the serpents glass.

As he heard Nichole's yelp of pain, Harry knelt down beside her to help her up and make sure she was okay. Anger and resentment boiled up in him, though he didn't have time to deal woth these feelings as someone let out a sharp scream.

Looking around in what seemed like panic, his eyes widened as he noticed the glass holding the python in it's prison had disappeared and the snake was currently slithering away, hissing at Dudley for a moment before oit made it's escape. "Thankssss children!"

"Magic..." Harry whispered, his eyes transfixed on the snake until it was out of sight, at which point he shook his head and helped his sister stand.

Nichole looked at her brother sharply at his whisper, but she herself was thinking the same thing, that didn't stop her from looking around to make sure that the Dursley's weren't within hearing distance though.

Suddenly she heard a panicked scream coming from the recently vacated snake cage, so she looked over only to laugh at the sight that awaited her. Dudley was now trapped on the inside of the snake cage, desperately pounding on the glass while Aunt Petunia was screaming for her son on this side, looking as if she was going to have a panic attack.

She was so busy laughing that she didn't notice her Uncle Vernon approaching them until it was too late, his obese body looming above them which quickly sobered her up, but the damage had been done and the expression their uncle wore promised an immense amount of pain when she got home.

Harry swallowed the lump that formed in his throat as Uncle Vernon stood over the two scrawny children, shifting over to stand in front of Nichole, even if he knew such acts of bravery would get him punished even more severely once in the privacy of Number 4 Privet Drive.

It took around an hour for the zoo keepers to lift Dudley out of the glass cage, as there was no other way out. It was quite a humorous sight to see, but Harry didn't dare laugh. Him and Nichole were in enough trouble as it was.

When Dudley was finally out, and had finally stopped crying, the Dursley's made their way in a silent anger towards their car, Harry hanging a few feet back with Nichole and desperately hoping they would forget about them and drive off before him and Nichole had a chance to get in.

They didn't.

The car ride back to the Dursley's house was silent and tense, the only noise was coming from there wet and shivering cousin who seemed to have been traumatized. Nichole clung tightly to her brother's arm in fear, her brown eyes filled with such a deep sorrow as she gazed out the window, her body tensing more and more the closer they got to the house.

The fear was practically choking her by the time they reached the house, but she tried to give her brother a reassuring smile nonetheless before opening the car door. Somehow though, Uncle Vernon had managed to extract his unbelievable mass from the car first, and since she was closest to outside, he grabbed her long red hair tightly in his meaty fist as he dragged her from the car to the living room.

Tears welled up in her eyes once again as she bit her lip harshly in order to keep from crying out, struggling to no avail as she tried to escape Vernon's grasp. She was then thrown to the ground once they were in the living room, kicked in the side for good measure as Vernon started yelling at them, his face a bright shade of red.

(omg, I know I posted a responce to this *sigh*)

Harry was on his knees in front of his sister, shielding her from a bit more physical abuse, and quite a bit more spit. He sat there as his uncle yelled, not trying to defend himself, or plead his innocense, just sitting there and taking it. When the yelling was replaced with heavy breathing, he dared to look up.

"Room... now..." Uncle Vernon said in a dangerously low tone, and without hesitation, Harry helped Nichole up and held her against his side as he stumbled back to their little cupboard.

Throughout it all, Harry had stayed quiet, indifferent. Now that he was alone with his sister, he curled up with her on the tiny bed they shared and let silent tears stream down his cheeks.

Nichole's heart broke a little as she saw the tears running down Harry's face, so she wrapped her arms securely around him as her own tears started to fall. "Shhhh, It's ok Harry, everything will be ok" she tried to reassure, rocking them a bit in a soothing motion as she started to hum a random melody that popped in her head.

She knew how much bravery her brother had just shown by standing up for her, and she was eternally grateful, but she felt guilty since it was her fault that Uncle Vernon had gotten so angry in the first place, she knew better than to have laughed when Dudley had gotten stuck.

Turning back to her brother, she adjusted their position until they were both lying comfortably on the cot, well as comfortable as was possible, and continues to hum to him in the hopes of lulling him to sleep.
