"​​​​​​Aura!" The boy with raven hair, wearing his glasses was sitting on his bed in the house number 4 of the privet drive.


"What is it Harry?" The hufflepuff girl asked, lifting up her eyes from her sketch to find her brother glaring at her.


"Can we go outside now?" Harry groaned, slumping down his shoulders. He was already pissed about not getting a single letter from his friends 


"Harry James potter!" Aurelia angrily shouted,"Don't you dare move even an inch from your place."


"Seriously?" Harry groaned, taking his earlier position as he sat on the bed, for Aurelia's sketch. The fifteen year old girl, who was ignored in the belief that she was an outcast has always found an escape in sketching.


She would just sit down at the table near the window of her's and Harry's small bedroom and would gaze at the stars before sketching them out in her sketch notebook.


"Aura, my hands are hurting." Harry complained, a big frown on his face.


"You're disturbing me Harry." Aura pouted, keeping her sketch book and pencil aside,"Come on, we'll continue it later."


"You aren't planning of letting it go, now are you?" Harry groaned, getting off the bed.


"Nope." Aura smiled, putting on her flat converse,"Where are we going by the way?"


"Park?" Harry suggested, tying his shoelaces,"Trust me, anywhere is better than this shit hole."


Aurelia just smiled in agreement before following her brother out of the door. The two of them quietly made their way down, finding Petunia asleep on the couch in the living room while Dudley was nowhere in sight.


The park was just a few miles apart from the house, so it just took them around ten to fifteen minutes to reach the park which was radiating such a happy vibe.


The sister brother duo sat on the swings, Harry reading out the daily prophet while Aurelia was looking at the sand which was sparkling like gold under her feet.


Warm sun from the sunny summer sky beat down on Aurelia's exposed legs clobbered with sunscreen.


A little boy was playing in the park, on the merry go round as the two Hogwarts students stared at him.


"Let's get home." The little one's mother called, grasping his hand lightly. Aurelia turned her gaze to find her brother looking at the son-mother with a rueful expression on his face.


"Aurelia!"


The siblings lifted their gaze up to find Dudley and his gang walking towards them with a smirk on their faces. One of Dudley's friend, Gordon had always liked Aurelia and never missed a chance to compliment her or in other words, flirt with her.


"You look absolutely stunning, my dear Aurelia." Gordon grinned cheekily, stopped in front of Aurelia who was looking straight at him,"We should go out together? It would be fun. What do you say darling?"


Harry clenched his fists and was about to punch the bloody idiot when Aurelia held him back by tugging on his arms. Defeated, the over protective brother sat back on his swing, shooting daggers toward Gordon.


"Thanks." Aurelia smiled,"But it's a no from me, Mr...?"


"Your boyfriend." Gordon replied, earning a cackle from Dudley and his gang.


"Never mind." Aurelia cleared her throat, ending it with a tight smile.


"Hey Big D, beat up another ten year old?" The boy with the glasses taunted, looking up at his cousin.


"This one deserved it." Dudley proudly replied.


"five against one. Very brave." Harry sarcastically complimented, earning a soft chuckle from his sister.


Harry and his sass. Inseparable. Aurelia thought and laughed at it.


"Well who are you to talk?" Dudley shot back,"Moaning in your sleep every night. At least I'm not afraid of my pillow."


Dudley's goons burst out laugh while Aurelia sat on the swing with a displeasing look on her face.


"Don't kill Cedric." Dudley mocked and Aurelia could feel where this was going,"Who's Cedric? Your boyfriend?"


Aurelia glared at her cousin as she could feel the anger boiling inside her. Cedric was a very sensitive topic for both the siblings. Cedric wasn't that close to the potters. Only Harry saw him die in front of his eyes as Aurelia never made it to the second task as she had a head injury in the very first task which lasted for days. 


"Shut up." Harry calmly said.


"He's going to kill me Mom." Dudley still didn't stop.


"You are gross!" Aurelia screamed.


"Shut up." Dudley snapped before turning his gaze back to Harry,"Where is your Mum? Where is your Mum, Potters? She dead? Is she dead!" Dudley's goons kept laughing at every single sentence said by Dudley like it was the most funniest thing they had ever heard.


Harry lost his cool and angrily rushed up to Dudley, pointing his wand straight at Dudley's chest while Aurelia stood up from the swing.


Harry's newspaper flew along the wave of the wind as dark clouds started gathering in once what was a cloudless sky. Aurelia looked around, a little scared by the sudden change in the weather while Dudley's friends kept laughing.


"Harry!"Aurelia shrieked as the winds started picking up their face and dark clouds dawned upon the teenagers.


Dudley's friends started freaking out, calling out his name while Dudley looked petrified.


"What are you doing?"


"I'm not doing anything!" Harry exclaimed, stepping away from his cousin.


"Come on Dudley." His friends called before running away but Dudley was rooted to the spot. Aurelia looked up at the sky, her heart pounding rapidly in her chest.


"Aura, come on." Harry exclaimed, grabbing his sister's hand as the three teenagers started running away from the field.


Soon it started raining heavily and Aurelia could feel her hair sticking out in all directions. They rounded around a narrow alleyway and took a shelter inside it.


The three of them drenched in water from head to toe. Suddenly, the lights in the alleyway started flickering causing Aurelia to stick close to her brother. Harry glanced up when suddenly a dementor appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Harry by his neck. Aurelia let out a scream in horror while Dudley backed up against a wall.


"D-Dudley,... Aura... Run!" Harry managed to say. Dudley took it as a cue to run but Aurelia didn't even budge from her spot. She hated herself at that vert moment because she was scared and could do nothing to save her brother.


Dudley slipped on the floor causing Aurelia to run towards him when out of the other end, a dementor attacked on her cousin and she stopped midway.


The dementor started sucking out their happy memories as Aurelia turned towards her brother to save him but another dementor stopped her in her tracks and grabbed her by her neck.


Harry pulled out his wand and fell on the floor with a loud thud.


"Expecto Patrnoum!" Harry chanted as a jet of blue Sparks flew out his wand and the dementor ran away. He pointed his wand towards his sister, freeing her from the dementor and then did the same with his cousin.


"What's going on?" Aurelia shrieked, some tears leaving her eyes as Harry pulled her up in a hug.


"We need to take him home." Harry said, quickly pulling up Dudley with his sister's support and two of them led Dudley to his house.


Aurelia pushed open the front door when she heard her aunt's voice,"Duddykins, is that you?"


Petunia's jaw dropped on the floor when the door opened to reveal a petrified Dudley on Harry's shoulders.


"Vernon, come quick." petunia squealed in a feared tone as Harry dropped dudley on the couch and stoo besides his sister.


"We have to take him to the hospital." Petunia suggested after Vernon entered the room. 


"Who did this to you boy?" Vernon asked. Dudley lifted up his finger and pointed straight at Harry who was sitting in front of him besides his sister.


"Happy are we now?" Vernon sneered, taking a step towards Harry,"You've finally done it now. You've finally driven him loopy."


"Vernon!" Petunia hushed,"Don't say like that."


"Look at him Petunia!" Vernon said,"Our boy has gone humpy!"


"This is the last time I'm going to take you and your nonsense!" Vernon warned, shaking the spoon in his hand violently.


Just then an owl flew through the open window and dropped a letter on the couch. The letter started shaking as the potter twins shared an anxious look.


Dear Mr Potter


The ministry has received intelligence that at 06:23 this evening, you performed a patronous charm in presence of a muggle. As a clear violation of the decree of the reasonable restrictions under aged sorcerery, you are hereby expelled from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and Wizardry.


Hoping you are well,
Mafalda Hopkirk


Then the letter dropped and turned into shreds. Aurelia sat there, dumbfounded, staring at the shredded pieces of the letter.


Vernon smirked proudly and left the room with his son, followed by Petunia while Harry rushed up the stairs, sitting by the window.


"Harry!" Aurelia frowned, sitting besides him,"Are they going to expel you?"


"You heard it Aura!" Harry shouted causing Aurelia to flinch under the tone,"Stop bothering me!"


"Fine." Aurelia muttered lowly, walking away from Harry's bed.


"I'm sorry." Harry apologised, realising his mistake and walked up to where his sister was sitting.


"It's okay." Aurelia smiled,"If they expel you, I'm staying back with you."


"No."


"Yes and shut up."
