~ Dursley’s House ~

~ The zoo staff eventually came and got Dudley out, much to Harry’s and Rachel’s dismay. The family and Harry soon leave afterward. Harry waves goodbye to his only friend and returns to his miserable existence. Back at the house, Petunia escorts a bundle up Dudley inside. ~

Petunia: *soothing* It’s all right. It’s all right.

~ The two disappear around the corner just as Harry and Vernon enter the house. Vernon slams the front door and shoves Harry against a wall, yanking his hair. ~

Harry: *pain* Ow!

Vernon: *angry* What happened?

Harry: *confused* I swear I don’t know! One minute the glass was there, and then it was gone! It was like magic!

Vernon: *scoffs and shoves him into the closet* There’s no such thing as magic!

~ Dursley’s House: Outside  ~

~ Later in the day, an owl flies by the house and drops off a letter. It zooms into the letterbox while the owl lands away from the house and hoots. Intrigued, Harry goes to collect the mail. As he sorts through it, he comes upon the letter addressed to him. Excited and curious, he rushes into the kitchen as he hands the rest of the mail to Vernon, and walks around the other side of the table to see his letter. ~

Vernon: Ah, Marge is ill. Ate a funny whelk.

Dudley: *sees Harry’s letter and takes it* Dad, look! Harry’s got a letter!

Harry: *upset* Hey, give it back! It’s mine!

Vernon: *laughs* Yours? Who’d be writing to you?

~ The family gathers around the letter seeing the broken seal on it. They looked at Harry as he gulped. As time goes by, the letters by owls are dropped off, but all fall victim to Vernon ripping them. While he does this, Harry hears a whirring noise as he looks to find Vernon drilling wood over the letterbox opening. ~

Vernon: *angry* No more mail through this letterbox.

~ Feeling satisfied that he stopped the letters, Vernon heads off to work with a kiss on his cheek from Petunia. ~

Petunia: Have a lovely day at the office, dear.

~ After sending her husband off, Petunia glances around and discovers a bunch of owls. ~

Vernon: *irritated* Shoo! Go on!

~ Unfortunately, Vernon’s attempt to stop the letter failed. More letters continue to come as Vernon starts throwing them into the fireplace. Harry comes around the corner, watching him throw them in. Vernon stares at Harry while grinning evilly. ~

~ Dursley’s House: Living/Family Room  ~

~ The family sits around the room on Sunday whilst Harry serves cookies to them. ~

Vernon: *joyful* Fine day Sunday. In my opinion, the best day of the week. Why is that, Dudley? 

~ Not knowing what his father meant, Dudley just sighs, and Harry answers this question. ~

Harry: *hands cookie to Vernon* That’s because there’s no post on Sunday?

Vernon: *happy* Right you are, Harry. No post on Sunday. Hah! No blasted letters today. No, sir. *Harry noticed millions of owls perched outside* No sir, not one blasted, miserable--

~ Before he could finish, a letter shoots out of the fireplace and zips across Vernon’s face. The next thing they knew, there was a rumble then zillions of letters came speeding out of the fireplace. Harry was amazed at what he saw, and it reminded him of Rachel with the snake creating a smile on his face. ~

Dudley: *scared* AHH! Make it stop! Please make it stop! *jumps on Petunia’s lap*

~ Just as the chaos begins, Petunia and Vernon scream their heads off as Harry grins at the ordeal. ~

Vernon: *upset* Go away, ahh!

Dudley: *scared* What is it? Please tell me what’s happening?

~ Astonished by everything, Harry jumps onto the coffee table to grab a letter. Finally, he gets one and runs away, hoping to read it. However, Vernon quickly jumps up after him. ~

Vernon: *mad* Give me that! Give me that letter!

~ He chases Harry and grabs him before he gets into his closet to read his letter. ~

Harry: *pissed* Get off! Ahh!

Vernon: *angry* Ahh!

Harry: *upset* They’re my letters! Let go of me!

Vernon: *fed up* That’s it! We’re going away! Far away! Where they can’t find us!

Dudley: *afraid* Daddy’s gone mad, hasn’t he?!
