I looked in the rear view mirror to my son. His messy black hair was splayed across the window. His face resting on the window making his glasses slightly crooked on his face. He let out a muffled snore before becoming silent once more. I looked back to the road and continued to drive nervously.

"Were doing the right thing" I heard my husband reassure quietly and I did a small nod

"I know, I just feel bad doing this too him..Why couldn't he go to one of his other friends ?"

"He's not safe there, there all from wizarding family's and anyone knows the four of those boys don't leave each other's side unless there forced to. He'd be too easy to find" I sighed but knew he was right. "take a left here" I quickly turned down a narrow path.

"I just don't want to leave him on his own. He's never been away from home on a summer holiday for more than a few nights. And he's never had to live as a muggle before"

I heard the door bell go and looked over to my mum and dad

"Do I have to let him in?" I begged. My mum glared quickly but I could see she didn't want him here either.

"He has too, he's 'part of the family' know"

"it's just ridiculous. Why can't they go to someone else?"

"Lily, your sister married him and know she wants him to live here. Please be nice. It's just for this summer. Then I think they'll be getting there own place. Know go let vernon in" I sighed and pushed myself up from the sofa and walked into the hallway. I could see his huge outline through the patterned glass and sighed. Putting on a fake smile I pulled the door open.

"hello vernon"

"about time" he barked. I suddenly heard the patting of feet and was forced out of the way

"VERNIE!" I watched as my body sister tried to wrap her arms round her fat spouse. Trying to hold in my laughter when her arms wouldn't fully fit round. My mum and dad walked out of the lounge.

"Hello vernon"

"Rose, Sam" he drawled. I saw my mother stiffen slightly, she didn't like him calling her by her first name. She wanted to be called Mrs Evans"

"Tuney, why don't you show vernon up to your room?" My dad said politely "Lily help with the bags" I growled aat my dad as I picked up a few of his bags and started to follow the happy couple up the stairs. Finally we reached there room and I dropped his bags in the centre.

"NOT THERE LILY! PUT THEM THERE!" Tuney screamed pointing to another space

"I am not your bag boy. Do it yourself!" I spat before leaving the room. I stormed down the stairs and heard my parents talking.

"When is he coming?"

"They should be here around dinner time"

"Shouldn't we tell lily?"

"are you kidding ? You've heard how she talks about him she would never let him in the house. It's best she doesn't know till it's too late. It sounds like this boy really needs to stay here" I peered through the door confused. Who else was coming ?

" DINNER!" I screamed up the stairs and went to sit down myself. Vernon's loud footfalls sounded quickly. Within seconds he had squished himself onto a wooden chair that creaked under his weight and started to shove the food on his plate down his face. Petunia followed shortly and sat next to him. I looked around and saw there was a spare plate of food

"mum who's this for?"

"no one sweetie" she replied quickly and I looked at her suspiciously. Vernon's beady eye's fell on the plate of food. Who was the person coming ?

I sat pondering over who it could be, luckily I did have to wait long. I heard the sound of tires on the gravel outside out house and ran to the door followed by mother and father. I pulled the door open and saw two old-ish people get out of a car. In the back seat I could just see a mess of black hair.
