The trip to the Dursley was too short in Harry, Jane, and Sirius's eyes. None of them wanted to get to that house but unfortunately they did get there. So now the three of them were in front of the house, walking to knock on the door and dreading the moment they open it. Petunia Dursley was the one that opened the door she didn't look surprised so obviously she was waiting for them.
"About time you got here" She said going back inside leaving the door open so they could enter. The three of them went inside and Harry and Jane took their things and owls to their room. Their room was in the second floor and the only reason they had that room was because they were two and didn't fit in the cupboard under the stairs. They got to their room and noticed it hadn't been changed at all. It wasn't even clean as if nobody had entered there since they left until that moment.
"Well home sweet home" Jane said sarcastically going to her side of the room and putting her trunk on her bed and Onyx (her owl) on the desk. Harry imitated her and they both went downstairs. Sirius was there talking very seriously (no pun intended) to the Dursleys.
"First, I don't want any of you to put a hand on them, you have to give them the same portion of food you eat and you can't starve them unless you starve yourself. Second, you are going to let them write to me or anyone they want if I don't get weekly letters I'm going to come here spell first and question later, understand?" Sirius told the Dursleys who had looks of anger and fear in their faces.
"This is my house I do whatever I want" Vernon Dursley said.
"Oh really?" Sirius said putting his hand in his pocket and showing them his wand. Harry and Jane laughed at their faces but covered it with coughs. Everybody turned to look at them.
"Well are you settled in?" Sirius asked.
"Yes" The twins said at the same time.
"Great, well I'll see you in a month or maybe earlier" Sirius said hugging both of them and leaving. There was an awkward silence that was broken by Jane when she said "Well hi, how was your year" her amusement was very clear on her voice. They glared at them and didn't answer instead Petunia said "Well he didn't say anything about you not cooking so make yourself useful and help me in the kitchen" Harry and Jane looked at each other before making their way to the kitchen to cook, obviously when Petunia said help me cook she meant go cook. They made a pretty good meal and for the first time in the Dursley's house they got to enjoy their tasty food just like everyone in the house. That night they went to sleep very happy considering they were in the Dursley's house. Maybe their summer wouldn't be so bad after all.
The next morning Jane woke up early like she used to and went downstairs without waking Harry up. She went to the kitchen and started cooking breakfast. When she had just finished with breakfast she heard her uncle's steps down the stairs followed by some light steps that belonged to her aunt. So she prepared the table and put breakfast on it as her aunt and uncle entered.
"Good morning," Jane said smiling at them even though she wished she was at Grimmauld Place.
"Sure" Her uncle said before he started on his breakfast. Petunia on the other hand said very quietly "Good morning Jane" and sat down on the chair besides her husband. Jane went upstairs and woke her brother up.
"Harry time to wake up" Jane said in a sing-song tone.
"No, five more minutes" He mumbled.
"I don't think so, wake up now"
"No"
"Alright you asked for it" She said before going to the bathroom where there was a cup. She filled it with water and took it to hers and Harry's room and emptied it on Harry's face.
"Hey!" Harry yelled
"I told you to wake up" Jane said before getting out of the room and going to the dining room to eat breakfast. There she met with all the Dursleys. They all ignored her while she sat although Dudley seemed to move closer to his mother. Jane didn't take notice of this and sat down and started to eat. Harry came down little time after Jane.
"Think you can sleep late do ya?" Vernon said to Harry.
"Morning to you too" Harry mumbled earning a glare from Vernon.
"Don't get cheeky with me boy. You are lucky we let you stay here" Vernon said his face turning purple.
"Lucky we are staying here, you mean" Jane said her hair turning a reddish color.
"What did you say girl?" Vernon turned to her
"That you are lucky we are staying here" she answered her hair turning very red. That scared all the Dursleys.
"Stop what you are doing now you freak" Petunia said, her tone dangerously high.
"Doing what?" She said more annoyed than ever, and her eyes started to darkened.
"Jane you are changing" Harry said quietly and Jane looked at him her hair going back to black (except her bangs, of course) but her eyes stayed a darker green than normal. Nobody said anything for the rest of the breakfast. After breakfast Jane and Harry started cleaning the house like their aunt told them to. At noon while Harry cleaned Jane started making lunch. When lunch was ready all the house occupants ate and then kept doing what they were doing before. Dudley went back to watching television, Harry and Jane started cleaning again (this time upstairs), and Petunia started to clean the dishes and cooking dinner. Vernon got home in time for dinner.
"Girl, boy what are you doing here?" he asked when he entered the dining room.
"Eating" Jane said and kept eating. Harry just ignored him. Vernon grumbled something that nobody really understood. After dinner Jane cleaned the dishes and Harry went upstairs to do the homework teachers had given him. Jane joined him after cleaning the dishes and started reading one of her muggle books. The next month passed pretty much like that and planning some dinner Vernon was having with a client that had a lot money.
They had already spent a month with the Dursley but for some reason Sirius hadn't picked them up. And nobody had written them. They sent a couple of letters but never received a letter back. It was frustrating because it was as if their friends had forgotten completely about them, well not only their friends weren't sending them letters even Sirius was ignoring them.
"You think they forgot about us?" Jane asked while she and Harry were out on the garden working with Petunia's flowers.
"I don't know what to think" Harry said simply.
"Harry it's been two month, today is our birthday and not a single letter wishing us a happy birthday. And Sirius said he would come after a month and see like I said it's been two months and nothing, we are still the Dursley's slaves."
"Jane you are making me nervous, please shut it" Harry said and Jane didn't answer. The twins kept working on the gardening silence until Petunia called them to get inside, eat fast, and Jane had to change because she was going to be there at dinner. Harry and Jane went to their room and Harry threw himself down on the bed while Jane looked for nice muggle clothes to wear. She took a quick shower, after all she was all sweaty. After her shower she put a light green summer dress, that Sirius had gotten her, and some simple light green sandals. She let her messy hair down and kept her bangs red. When she got downstairs Petunia told her she had to be quiet for the whole dinner time and that she, Jane, was going to be the one serving. After that they didn't have to wait long before they heard Vernon's car on their driveway. Jane was the one that opened the door and took their cloaks.
"Good evening" Jane said politely but earning a glare from Vernon for talking.
"Oh good evening" Mrs. Mason said (she was the wife of Vernon's client). "Is she always this polite?"
"No dear, did you not hear what Mr. Dursley, this girl is from St. Brutus" Mr. Mason said
"Oh, right who would believe this beautiful girl was a criminal" Mrs. Mason said moving away from Jane. Jane wanted to say something but she knew that if she did she would be in serious problems. Dinner was peaceful and without much glares toward Jane although Dudley was making everything more difficult to her.
"So aren't you afraid that she will poison you?" Mr. Mason asked
"Oh no she wouldn't do that," Vernon said.
"I think she is more like a hands on type of girl" Petunia added. "My poor Dudley has suffered a lot with her"
"Don't you think that is better if you give her away?" Mrs. Mason asked.
"Well it's just that she is my niece and I can't give my sister's daughter away" Petunia said feigning sadness and Jane snorted. Everyone looked at her.
"Something to add, Jane?" Vernon asked.
"No uncle Vernon, sorry" Jane said. After dinner they went to the sitting room and started conversing while Jane made tea. When Jane was taking the tea to the sitting room she heard a soft thud and she was sure the others heard too because she heard Vernon said it was just the cat. She entered the sitting room and started serving the tea while Vernon made a joke, when they heard more noises.
"Maybe Dudley left the telly on" Vernon said calmly but it was pretty obvious he was mad.
"I could go turn it off" Jane said hoping to save her brother.
"No, you may break, it I'll do it" Vernon said making his way up the stairs. Jane finished serving tea and sat down besides the Masons who moved closer to each other and further away from her. After what felt like hours to Jane but really it had been minutes, Vernon came down.
"Well now, Where were we?" He asked as soon as he entered the room.
"Jane was going to look for the cake I made" Petunia said and Jane made her way to the kitchen, she grabbed the cake and carefully made her way back to the sitting room when she entered the room the cake started to fight with her as if someone was trying to levitate it or something. She managed to control it before it fell on top of Mrs. Mason but just as she was about to keep moving Dudley bumped her and she dropped the cake and as if her luck had abandoned her it fell on Mrs. Mason
"Oh Mer... My God!" Jane exclaimed. "I'm so sorry let me help you clean up"
"No don't touch her!" Mr. Mason screamed. "We are leaving, maybe when this kid is in class I'll come back and maybe I will sign the contract but for now, don't you ever come find us." And the Masons were gone. Jane tried to run to her room before Vernon could grab her but he caught her hair and yanked her back.
"Now you've done it" He said raising his hand.
"No, please I'm sorry, it wasn't on purpose please don't..." She tried to beg but he struck her face and she fell to the floor. Vernon grabbed her hair again and pulled her up but before he could hit her again the door exploded and Sirius entered.
"What the bloody hell are you doing?!" He said with his wand pointing at Vernon. Vernon is not stupid and let go of Jane who fell back to the floor. Her face felt as if it was on fire. She crawled away from her uncle and Sirius helped her up.
"Go pack your things, we are going home" Sirius told her and she practically ran upstairs where Harry was.
"Jane I'm so sorry..." Harry started.
"Don't it wasn't your fault," Jane interrupted him. "Come on let's pack I want to get out of here" Harry and Jane packed so fast it should have been a record. They went downstairs and Sirius met them at the foot of the stairs and blocked the Dursley's view of the twins.
"Come on, I know I have much to explain to you but if I don't get out of here I might kill them" Sirius said leading the way to the door.
"Hey fix that door!" Vernon yelled and Harry and Jane had to hold Sirius's arms so he wouldn't turn and kill Vernon. When Sirius relaxed Harry let go of his arm but Jane moved her hand to Sirius's hand and grabbed it. Sirius looked at their intertwined hands and smiled at his best friend's daughter. She and Harry were really something special.
