It happened in May. May the thirteenth to be exact. It was Will Dursley's birthday. People said that Friday the thirteenth caused bad luck. Will didn't think so. He thought exactly the opposite; it brought good luck. Especially on his eleventh birthday. He Had saw the letter before but he had never opened it. It was addressed to him but it was addressed so specifically that he thought he shouldn't. Not to mention that it was hidden. But on his birthday he decided to open it. There was one on his doorstep. He picked it up and looked at the front.

He was going to read the first letter again but his dad walked in.
"Will, I..." his dad said when he saw the letter in Will's hand. Dudley looked like his son. They were both lean and blond. Besides for their height only their eyes were different. And Dudley hated looking into Will's eyes. He had Harry's eyes. Harry, the cousin that Dudley never apologized to. He hated himself for it.
"Witchcraft and wizardy?" Will asked his father looking up.
"I can't explain but I know someone who can."
"Who?"
"Your Uncle Harry."
