Chapter 3
“I’m sorry I’ll get new food for you” I said as I picked up what I could from the floor and quickly made my way back to the kitchen, totally not running. WHAT WAS THAT! Sticks don’t usually do that, sticks usually don’t do much of anything. I think I’m losing my mind and I still have two more hours before I can even think of leaving. “Hey can you remake the food for table 4?”
“sure thing but what happened to it?”
“I may have dropped it.”
“Oof, haha, you ok?”
“Ya I’m good just got a go clean it up.” Now to go find that broom. I find it and make my way back to the dinning area. I make eye contact with them and say in the most friendly and apologetic voice I can muster
“ I’m so sorry you’re food is being remade.”
One of the twins get up with a look best describe as I fucked up but I’m gonna see if mom noticed. “No it’s all but umm did umm see …something?” Something i don’t know maybe you using a stick to make the impossible happen.
“ no I just … slipped.”
“Are you a …wizard?” Ok they’re crazy got it.
“ sorry but I’m just Harry.” He narrows his eyes at me. Ok time to leave. I scurry off.
“You’ll never believe what just happened.” “What? did you fall twice in the span of 20 minutes.”
“ no one of the guys at table 4 asked if I was a wizard.”
“ haha, no wait really?”
“ ya”
“hey be careful you don’t want them trying to use their magic powers on you.”
“ haha ya wouldn’t want that.” Ya not with what I saw.
3 hour time skip
Why do people just pull you over to complain you’re just wasting everyone’s time my time and yours, and they are always the ones who don’t tip well like if you’re going to use up my time might as well pay for it
Time skip to the end of shift
Finally I can leave, that last table would not leave and they left a shit tip too like if you’re gonna waste my time might as well waste your money while you’re at it. Now to grab my stuff and leave to go do unpaid labour instead of paid, how fun. Picking up my bag I turn around to face one of the red heads from before.
“Wow you can’t be back here” I said
“ You don’t know, do you?” Yep this is weird I’m being followed by a red head and to make it worse he’s crazy too.
“ I’m sorry I don’t but if you need help finding your way back to the dining area I can lead you.” Please just leave.
“ oh you’re in for a surprise. But why didn’t you get your letter?” Ok he’s not leaving. I’m gonna miss my bus, god damn it.
“ I’m sorry but I gotta go soo …” I walk around hoping he just lets me go and I make it out of this sane.
“ Wait” he says as he grabs my arm yep I’m never that lucky.
“What.. ever can I do for you?” Ok let’s take the aggressiveness out of my tone. Being angry will only make this worse.
“Take the letter from the owl”
What? Owl, what owl and a letter what owl has a letter. Did it write. I’m so confused. And while I’m trying to figure out the riddle this soulless red head said he has the audacity to just walk away.
HEY. WHAT OWL? I call out to him but he just vanishes before my eyes. Ok either that bitch magic or I’m losing it. I wouldn’t be surprised at either. Well life goes on time to catch the bus to free cild labour.
Time skip 2 hours
I walk through the front door and before even a hello my lovely aunt has some words for me
“You left streaks when cleaning the counters.”
Oh no how awful however we will cope.
“And Dudleykins tried cooking there a bit of a mess and I need it spotless by tomorrow afternoon.”
“I’ll make it sparkle.”
“Good and try not to mess it up, we have guests coming tomorrow and everything needs to be perfect.”
Seems like sarcasm just goes over her head.
“Yes aunt petunia.”
Time to re-clean a kitchen that was spotless at the start of the day. Time to grab the cleaning supplies. You know what would be great if I could get that magic guy to clean. Bet he could do it in seconds with the snap of his fingers. SNAP I walk into the kitchen expecting a mess but what greets me is a spotless kitchen without even a spec of dust. Are you kidding me how much cleaner can it get this women needs to lower her expectations. Guess I’ll wipe everything down to get rid of the non existent streaks.
