Chapter 34 - The boy they lied to - Part 3

Harry was startled to hear someone wish him a happy birthday. Harry quickly hid a little deeper in the cupboard. You could tell that he was scared as he started to say.

"I'm sorry I didn't want to wake anyone up." A few tears escaped Harry's eyes, but he began to try to make as little noise as possible.

I was very sorry for Harry's situation. Now that he was closer to him he could see a couple of bruises down his arm. His clothes were too big for him and with a few holes in them. And it was obvious that one of his arms was broken.

Looking around I realized that the cupboard was full of dust and a few spider webs. His bed was just a dirty mattress thrown on the floor.

I walked over to Harry and put a hand on his shoulder, he trembled and closed his eyes. So I told him. "Harry, don't be afraid, I've come to see you and see if you're okay.

"For the first time Harry noticed me. When he realized that I was not one of those who lived with him, he began to observe me. For many reasons I was wearing a robe that obscured my features.

''Who are you?'' He asked me.

''In a way we could say that I'm your cousin.'' I replied.

He looked at me in disbelief and said. ''The only cousin I have is Dudley.''

I sighed a little and answered me. ''That's true,he is your cousin on your mother's side. I come from your father's side. It has been difficult to be able to come to see you and I cannot stay long. I know you must have a lot of questions. Come on tell me.''

''He looked at me sadly and the first thing he asked me was.

''Can I go live with you?''

I c.a.r.e.s.sed his hair a bit and with some bitterness I told him. ''Sorry Harry at this time it is not possible. It's not that we don't want you to live with us. But unfortunately a person who has a lot of power has influenced the laws so that you are here with your family closer.''

''Why would someone do something like that? Why me?'' He told me with tears in his eyes.

''What do you know about your parents Harry?''

He quickly answered me with a bit of doubt. '' They died in a car accident and my dad was a drunk.

Harry, your parents didn't die in an accident. Unfortunately they were killed. Your dad was the heir to one of the noble houses in the wizarding world. Unfortunately he trusted some of the worst possible people, the price was the lives of your parents.

''Why?!! Harry screamed.'' He was furious, his tears were no longer of sadness but of fury. He wanted to get out of the cupboard and face the Dursleys. I quickly put a hand on the man and said in a serious tone.

''Calm down Harry.'' It took him several minutes to calm down and despite everything his breathing was still altered.

''Harry I'm telling you all this so you understand what you're going through. The person who murdered your parents is still alive and the biggest proof is the scar on your forehead. That scar is magical. ''

Harry looked at me again a part of him wanted to belive me and part of him didn't. His innocence that was still there wanted to believe my words, especially I could see how for a few seconds his eyes would shine every time he said the word magic.

Smiling to myself and discovering how to guide the conversation in a better way, I told him. ''That's right Harry, you're a wizard. I'm sure you've already experimented with this especially when you've been either very angry or very sad. ''

''Does magic really exist?'' Harry told me hopefully. At that I stood in front of Harry and became him. At first Harry freaked out. But quickly curiosity got the better of him and with his hands he began to touch my face while one of his hands was the scar that he had on his head while the other one that I now had.

While Harry was distracted with my transformation from my bag I took out a small cake and again I said ''Happy birthday Harry ''
