"You Boy...come down here" Uncle Vernon shouted.
I sighed. I thought after the war they would become nice but I guess I was wrong. Dudley is a bit better though.
I go down and see Aunt Petunia in tears. What is she crying about? I think.
"Why are you crying Aunt Petunia?" I asked just realising I made a big mistake.
However to my surprise she replied without roasting me to pieces. "I had a sister, Sally who I thought was dead but I got to know she is alive and she is sending her son to live with us for the summer. But she can't come. I will take good care..."
She kept ranting but all I was thinking was will the kid be like Dudley? Or will he be like my best friend Ron?
The next few days were absolute torture. Aunt Petunia made us clean the whole house and surprisingly, my room also as my cousin will be sleeping with me.
Sooner than I knew, the week got over and I was excited as my cousin was coming today. Aunt Petunia kept calling him kid so I didn't even know his name.
I was even more excited that after a few days I was going to live with the Weasley's.
There was a loud knock on the door and I ran down to see a obviously annoyed 'kid' who looked a much better and fitter version of me without glasses and sea-green eyes. He grumbled something under his breath and Aunt Petunia literally flew to him and crushed him asking many questions which I couldn't hear.
I was shocked. She has never even done that to Dudley. The boys eyes met my own and I realised he radiated a very powerful aura. I guess he saw my face because he gently pushed Aunt Petunia and asked:
"Who are you?" He asked. Uncle Vernon growled and looked at him but he didn't even flinch.
"Oh Sorry!" My aunt said. "I am Petunia, he is Vernon and this is my son Dudley." She explained pointing at each one. Like any normal day she didn't introduce me. My cousin must have noticed as he said:
"I am Percy Jackson and who are you?"he asked jutting his chin out at me. "Harry Potter" I said.
His reply shocked me. Percy came over and hugged me telling "Mom misses your mother. She says Lily was the sweetest woman she ever met." I was shocked but I hugged him back. Though I knew he would have to face Uncle Vernon's wrath soon, and believe me I wasn't wrong.
"I KNEW HE WAS A FREAK LIKE THAT SON OF LILY POTTER." Uncle Vernon screamed.
Percy just ignored him and turned to Aunt Petunia. "To answer your questions Aunt Petunia, as you can see I am fine. Mom has never been happier as she became a author like she always wanted to and New York is still the same from since last you came."
Aunt Petunia was smiling so bad I thought her face might split into two. She just nodded her head and asked me to show him my room.
"So..." he began hoping to start a conversation. "Is Uncle Vernon like this to everyone?"
"Honestly, I don't know" I say. "I go to a school year round and when I am here, I stay in my room and after half summer my friend comes and I go to live with his family." He just smirked saying "That's sad as my Vacations are amazing."
For the first time I noticed his accent was different, more American. "Are you from America? Your accent is like that." He nodded. "By the way Harry, nice room." He nudged me with his elbow.
I blushed a deep shade of red and said "it's fine for me though."
Just then Dudley decided to rudely interrupt our conversation. After talking with Percy for an hour I realised that he was very secretive. And take my word for it, very.
˜˜TIME SKIP TO THE NIGHT ˜˜
Percy helped me with the dishes and we went to sleep. Since the room was small, he had to sleep on the floor and I asked him if he was fine with it.
"Of course, I have slept in worse conditions so it is fine." came his reply.
I nodded and lay down on my bed thinking about the war and how happy I was that we won, but sad at the same time that I lost many people important to me. I was not sleepy but eventually I drifted off only to be plagued by nightmares.
