Prologue
That morning was the best morning Vernon Dursley had seen in about had seen in about a year. This morning was his wedding anniversary. He woke up extra early and quietly tiptoed down to the kitchen so he wouldn't wake Petunia, his wife. Once there he proceeded to make a breakfast of sizzling bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, and golden brown pancakes. Then, whistling, he walked up the stairs to present his wife with breakfast in bed.
Petunia loved breakfast in bed and, as Vernon was grinning as drove her, blindfolded, to London for sight seeing. The Dursley's had a wonderful morning of sight seeing and an excellent lunch at the fanciest restaurant in London. Then they drove home where Vernon was planning to have cocktails on the front porch and watch the sunset.
His envisioned perfect ending to what Petunia called a perfect day was ruined when Petunia picked up a piece of paper that was taped to the door. Reading it she quickly paled and, trembling, handed the paper to Vernon. Vernon quickly took it and found out what had so frightened his wife:
We are happy to inform you that a truly magical event
has occurred. On September 1, 1976 James and Lily
Potter gave birth to their daughter, Vivian Anne Potter.
We hope you rejoice with the parents on this special day.
