FAMILY SECRET

The next day when Harry woke up he felt a tingling sensation that made him think that there was something that he just had to find out. After a while Harry figured out that it must have something to do with Harry Dursley, it was just so weird there was just something about it, Harry decided that if the Dursley family had something to hide he'd find it.

Harry decided to go down to breakfast first before going searching.

Uncle Vernon grunted when Harry came down which most likely meant "hello Harry". After having breakfast of some toast with nothing on it Uncle Vernon gave an announcement that made Harry's day just that easier.

"We are going out to go shopping for Dudley's next year's stuff." He paused then as if remembering something bad, "I'm not going to call anyone to take care of you. BUT you must not make a mess and if you do CLEAN IT UP!" He said sternly. Dudley chuckled, he always loved to see Harry in trouble.

After they had left Harry chuckled, I don't think that they'll be able to get any new clothes for Dudley because his waist would equal about the size of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXL.

He went up to the Attic because Harry figured that, that was the most obvious place to start.

He climbed up the dusty, untouched stairs into the attic, the dust made Harry keep on sneezing. Harry searched the Attic for a while and finally came to a box that he thought was most likely to contain the information that he needed.

Harry opened the box with care as if not to break the contents, and to his amazement there was a family tree and what looked like some old beaten up letters. The family tree was the Dursley's and had been filled out on one side more than the other. There were the names Bob Dursley and William Dursley, Bob's side was filled until Vernon Dursley (Uncle Vernon) and the other side stopped at William, this was very puzzling. Harry decides to bring the box back to his room because he couldn't stand the dust.

When he got back to his room Harry read the letters first.

William,

I think that it's time to stop this "thing" once and for all. We have talked about

it for a while and I know that you still want to use the "thing" but I believe

that it is causing a lot of damage and there is no use for it.

Bob

This letter didn't exactly make sense until he read the next letter.

William,

You have not replied me and I'm getting worried that you are covering up

things about banning and not using magic in this family.

Bob

At the top of these letters were talons marks so Harry suspected that the letters were sent by owl. Harry tried to read the other letters but they were too worn out to read the words. He figured that these letters were the latest ones out of all of them.

Harry pondered over these letters and then everything became clear. The Dursley's must be a very old wizarding family, but then two generations before Uncle Vernon, Bob Dursley decided to ban magic from the family. William, Bob's only brother, was probably very scared of him, so he pretended to obey him. William hid his family away from Bob so that he couldn't check them for the magic ability, which explains the gap in the family tree.

There was only one way for Harry to find out if what he thought was the truth and that was to send an owl to Harry D. Harry went back up to the attic, placed the box in it's original position and went downstairs back to his room.

He got out his parchment, ink and quill then started to write.

Harry,

We met at the Dursley family reunion. I came over some very interesting

information about you great-grandfathers Bob and William and I was

wondering whether you could tell me some facts about them.



Harry Potter (yes, I'm the famous Harry Potter)

He attached the letter to Hedwig and she flew away. Now Harry knew why Uncle Vernon hadn't told him off about doing magic because he knew that Harry D was coming and that there was a possibility that he was magic. He was probably thinking about it too much to care about Harry.

A few days later Harry received the letter that he was waiting for.

Harry Potter,

I didn't know that you were "The Harry Potter" I just thought that you were just

a plain old Harry. You said that you wanted to know more about the Dursley

family. Well I'm William's Great-Grandson, he hid my Grandparents away from

Bob and tested them for magic. None of my family has had any signs of magic

until I was born.

I'm guessing that you go to Hogworts, well I got to a very small wizarding

school, Parchy School of wizarding and wizardry. I hope this has all the

information that you wanted, if not then you can send me another owl.



Harry

Harry felt really strange, he would have never in his wildest dreams think that the Dursley's could be a wizarding family. It's probably because Uncle Vernon had always talked the biggest disliking in it.
