None of this is mine except for the prophecy.
THANK YOU to AstoriaGrace, my first reviewer.
Chapter 3, The Chosen One
Harry Potter was not your usual boy. He had a life that others would not want to have, being an orphan. On top of that, was the tiny detail, that he was a wizard. This means he could do magic. His aunt, uncle and cousin did not like magic, and did not grow tired of trying to take it away. As their self-appointed task was impossible, they failed. They kept trying it anyway.
Dudley's eleventh birthday
Harry's aunt and uncle wanted their son's birtday to be perfect. Naturally, they made Harry do the work.
"BOY! Get out here and cook the bacon!" Vernon yelled.
Petunia then said, "Now, don't you do anything to that bacon."
"Okay, Aunt Petunia."
So, he faithfully went about cooking the bacon as requested. Even though he did it right, his aunt and uncle were suspicious of the as-requested well-prepared bacon.
Later that morning
"Vernon, what do we do with that boy? Mrs. Figg is injured, and everyone else is unavailable."
"We can't leave him here and come back to the house in ruins. BOY! Get over here!"
"Yes, Uncle Vernon?"
"We will take you with us, but if you do any of your freakishness, you will stay in that cupboard until Christmas. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Now pack the car!"
Harry did as he was told.
At the zoo
Harry walked over to a window to a room with a realistic fake jungle and a snake who was looking at him curiously. He carefully approached the snake.
"Hello."
Harry greeted the dnake, to see what it did.
"Greetingsss."
"You can understand me?"
"Of course, you speak my language."
"Would you like a vegemite sandwich?"
"What'sss that?"
"Nevermind, it's something from a song Dudley listen to all the time."
"All right. Could you help me get out of here?"
"I don't know how."
Just then, an excited Dudley Dursley came running over to the snake exhibit. The snake and Harry looked over in time to see the large boy slap his hands on the glass to stop running. But there was no glass there. Due to Newton's very helpful law of inertia, Dudley went flying into the small room, and splashed into the pond. Harry looked at the snake, who also looked at him, and shrugged.
"Thanksss. I do not know what you did, but is most helpful. I hate sssmall ssspacesss."
"Anytime. And I understand the feeling."
The snake slithered off. Dudley climbed out of the room, and exclaimed, "That was so cool!"
Harry's aunt and uncle did not punish Harry as Vernon said, since Dudley enjoyed what happened, as surprised as he was, but he did go without dinner.
Author's note: Please leave a suggestion or comment in a review. I wrote this extra chapter just because I got a review. It's cheesy, but I can understand why the bigger (aka every other author) authors like it.
