"Harry? You do know that it's Dudleys said birthday today right?" I said.

"unghhhhh" said Harry as he was still kinda asleep

"I don't wanna get up its like 8am!" Harry said nearly falling back to sleep

I sat up and and looked around... it was a good thing that this cupboard was big otherwise it would be really uncomfortable. yes I am not kidding- we would still have to share the cupboard if there was only room for one of us.

just then Aunt Petunia rapped on the little wooden door to our cupboard an shouted, "get up- it's Dudleys birthday and I want everything to be perfect"

Harry an I shared a look as if to say ' here we go again'. every year on Dudley Dursleys birthday he would go to theme parks with a friend and Harry and I would have to stay behind and go to Mrs figgs house which smelled of cabbage and we would look at pictures of her old dead cats. it was like hell at times.

Harry and I went through to the kitchen. aunt petunia screeched' you've let the bacon burn Lily, you expected better from you'. I just roll my eyes as uncle Vernon says ' get me some bacon girl' I haven't got all day you know!'. I mumble a quick apology and run to fetch the bacon. as I rush towards the hob Dudley sticks out his leg and trips me up.

I glare at him as he laughs at me and as i get up and go back to the bacon to fetch it was for uncle Vernon. aunt petunias tuts at me for my clumsiness. i put some bacon onto a plate for him and then sit down for some of my own breakfast.

"how many are there?'" says dudley.

"36, i counted them myself" said Uncle Vernon.

'36! but last year I had 37!' Dudley screamed.

I glared at him and muttered ' at least you get birthday preaents. I think he heard me because he said something to uncle Vernon and the pair of them smirked at me while Harry walked into the room.

He understood that I was angry because He looked at my eyes and saw the violet fire burning inside of me. Harry quickly rushed over and told me to calm down before I tried to hit uncle Vernon or Dudley.

i didn't know why my eyes went violet before I went to Hogwarts. I was ten years old an yet I did get strange things to happen to me, but more happened to me than Harry which I felt strange about. I thought there was more in the world than I knew about at the time but I really had a strange feeling about some things and eventually I would learn to trust that same instinct with my life.

' Vernon we have a problem' says aunt Petunia. 'Mrs Figg can't take them, and I don't know where else to put them.'

Thinking quick I said, ' Well you could always leave us behind at the house all day?' I suppose I did sound a a bit hopeful.

Uncle Vernon laughed as if to say, yeah like that's ever going to happen.

I looked at Harry and murmerd ' Well it was worth a try'

just the Dudley burst into tears and wailed in his mother's arms. He wasn't really crying, but he knew that if he cried his mummy would do anything he wanted her to.

' I don't want them to come! They always ruin everything' I personally just wanted to go over there and smack him in the face to give him some real tears.' don't worry sweetheart mummy won't let them ruin you're special day'.

just as she had said that the door bell rang and Dudleys friend Pius. He was a skimpy kids who usually held people still while Dudley and his gang beat up their victims.

Dudley stopped crying immediately and it was decided that Harry and I were allowed to go to the zoo for the first time ever.

when we arrived I hoped and prayed that nothing weird would happen but I think Harry was too excited about the fact that we were at the zoo for the first time ever to notice. Dudley an his friend got ice creams and we were about to leave the stand when the lady asked what Harry and I wanted, so uncle Vernon had to buy us two cheap lemon flavoured ice lollies. we loved them so much.

everything went great until we got to the reptile house. Harry went off to see some of the other snakes while j went to see the Burmese python. ' I feel sorry for you only being able to lie there day after day while kids press their faces up against the glass, I know what it's like to be goggled at'.

The python looked up at me and I think it was nodding it's head. ' can you hear me?' I said and the python nodded again. That's when it got really bad. Dudley ran over, shoved me on the ground and shouted ' Daddy you won't believe what this snake is doing!'. Pius ran over too and suddenly without any form of warning the glass just disappeared and Dudley and Pius fell in. The snake came out said to me ' thanksss amigo' and he just left! The funny bit was when Dudley and Pius tried to get out the glass had reappeared they were stuck in there crying and as white as paper.

naturally because I was the one closest I got the blame for the disappearing glass when Pius went home. So naturally I got locked in the cupboard for a week.
