Chapter One: Dudley Dursley's Curiosity
Dudley Dursley waddled into his Cousin Harry's room. He wasn't supposed to be here, but his parents had guests and his room was being repainted. Harry was in the bathroom. He looked around his cousin's room curiously, and his eyes fell upon a leather-bound book on the desk. He walked over and picked it up.
Opening the book to its inside cover, he saw the words To Harry, from Hagrid inscribed upon it. As he turned the page, he saw something that scared him out of his wits.
There were pictures inside the book that were moving, all by themselves. The people were waving at him from inside the photographs. He looked at the pictures closely and saw a man that resembled Harry, with the same black untidy hair and glasses, and a red-haired woman with the same bright green eyes. They were Harry's parents.
Dudley flipped through the pictures idly, recovering from the shock of the moving pictures. He knew he should have expected something strange or unusual in his cousin's possessions. His cousin was a wizard--a freak. No one knew what his powers could do.
A few minutes later, Dudley shut the photo album and glanced over the things in Harry's open trunk. Inside were the long black robes wizards wore, a gleaming, polished broomstick with the word Firebolt on its handle, and a long, silvery cloak. Dudley picked it up and felt it. The material had a texture of water, yet not water. The cloak dropped from his hand to the floor, lying in glittering folds.
The fat blond boy waddled around the room, examining objects occasionally. Several sheets of thick parchment were stacked up on the floor, and a pile of textbooks--he supposed they were textbooks, he didn't know there were any other possibilities of wizarding books--announced that the sheets were homework. Dudley picked a parchment up and read it.
Harry Potter
Veritaserum is a very strong potion that forces people to tell the truth. Just three drops of it can make one spill all their secrets. It comes in a crystal vial and is a clear liquid. Its use is strongly controlled by the Ministry, but in some cases, it is necessary for interviewing certain people accused of being criminals…
Dudley read some other essays then stacked the papers back up again, bored. He wondered if Harry would ever find out that he went into this room. Just as he was about to get up and leave, there was a horrified exclamation at the threshold of the door.
"Dudley?!"
It was Harry.
