:::Harry's Little Sister::: Chapter Three

::: Kylie:::1

“Hi I’m Kylie, Kylie Potter” said Kylie, pushing her thick tangled black hair behind her ears and extended her hand to the black haired boy. His familiar eyes widened with surprise and something indistinguishable… *horror? Disgust? Or was it…* she shook her head so that her mind cleared of these distracting thoughts. He took her hand and shook it timidly, speaking in nervous tones.2

“Nice to meet you Kylie, I’m Harry… Potter,” He said and Kylie’s heart froze up immediately. Potter? Well it wasn’t a very common last name, but I guess it’s possible. She took a couple deep breaths and told herself firmly not to dwell on the topic. Harry took a couple deep breaths as well and then she decided that it was up to her to initiate further conversation. 3

“So… Harry… Do you live around here?” She said, fiddling with the hemp bracelet around her wrist. She drifted into thought about the hemp bracelet…4

—Flashback—5

Kylie hugged her tattered clothes about her and shivered as the cold wind blew against her bare skin and her feet grew numb, causing her to fall down into the freshly fallen snow. Her frozen tears ached her face and as she sat in the snow a passing car honked at her in snowy denial, two teenage boys laughing and motioning at her, thinking that she was just another corner hooker, stuck out on the streets for one more cold lonely winter night. Sobs racked her body as she sobbed and blood trickled into the white snow, ruining the pureness of the snow, white as a brides dress. As she put her hands down in denial and went to lie down on the frozen ground, her hand fell upon a small woven hemp bracelet with 2 beads a green one and a blue one, which looks like a small child made it. Her heart rose and she imagined the kid diligently working on the bracelet for hours and hours and she managed to stand on her numb legs and drag herself to the nearest pay phones.6

“Kylie? Kylie…” said Harry, waving his free hand, his other was on the strap of his green backpack, slung carelessly over one shoulder, looked slightly worried and had his brow furrowed cutely. Kylie shook her head slightly and smiled.8

“Whoa… Sorry I totally spaced out.” She said laughing slightly and shaking it off. 9

“I said that yes I do live in this neighborhood… I have almost all my life… Not with my parents though they died when I was little… Do you live ‘round here?” He asked mumbling the ‘parents’ thing. Kylie didn’t notice the parents thing as much until the died comment because hers had died as well.10

“Hey… my parents died before I was born too! I just moved here,” when she said that she moved onto Privet Drive she wrinkled her nose as if in disgust and Harry laughed.11

“I take it that you don’t enjoy it here?” When she shook her head Harry smiled. “Me either…” Kylie looked around and shivered in the cold autumn hair. 12

“I better be heading home, Harry…” she said softly and turned to go but stopped when he caught her arm. 13

“Wait Kylie!!!” 14
