Chapter 2: The Zoo

For the next ten years Harry Potter has lived with his dreadful Aunt and Uncle. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon and they're huge son Dudley. Harry is forced to live in the broom cupboard under the stairs.

Today was Dudley's eleventh birthday. He ran down the stairs and started stamping on the stairs saying, "Wake up Potter, I'm going to the zoo." Harry tried to make the noise go away but then Aunt Petunia knocked on the door and said, "Get up and make breakfast, NOW!" "ugh." "What was that!" "Nothing," said Harry.

So he got up and found a pair of socks he wore a week ago and it was covered in cobwebs. But he put them on and got out to make breakfast. He went into the kitchen and half the place was covered in Dudley's birthday presents and he was counting them and he said, "98. Last year I had 197!" "Now Dudders," Petunia started, "there's 89 in the living room." "So that makes………100?" (Dudley is really stupid isn't he?) "No Dudders, it's 187." "That's still 10 off!" "We'll get you 20 more at the Zoo."

So they started to go into the car and Mr. Dursley pulled Harry to the side and said, "I don't want any funny business. If I see anything, ANYTHING, out of the ordinary, you'll have no dinner for a month. Get in." So they got in and on the way they picked up Dudley's friend.

They were at the Zoo and got Dudley a mega-sized sundae and he ate it all(the pig). Then they went to look at all of the animals. They started in the mammals. First, they saw a lion and then they saw a badger. Then they went to the bird section next. They saw all kinds of birds but he really liked the ravens. So far, his most favorite animals were the lion, the badger, and the raven. Now they were going to the reptile exhibit.

They saw lizards first, then they went to see the snakes. They were looking at a lot of them and Dudley and his friend thought the boa's were really cool because they were could crush anyone but when they reached one of them it really didn't look like crushing anyone right now. It was just laying there. After awhile, Dudley said, "Make it move." Uncle Vernon then tapped on the glass and said, "Move!" then Dudley slammed on the glass and said, "MOVE YOU WORTHLESS PILE OF DUNG!"

He walked away and Harry told him, "Sorry about that thing, he just doesn't understand having to lie around day after day, having people press their ugly faces in on you." The snake then nodded at him. "Did you just understand me?" the snake nodded again. "You're from Brazil aren't you? Was it nice there? Do you want to go back?" The snake then pointed to the sign.

It said, 'Held in captivity since birth.' "Oh," Harry said. "I never got to live with my parents either." Then Dudley came waddling as fast as he could and elbowed Harry right in the crotch. "Mummy, Dad, come look at what the snake is doing." Then he put his ugly face right up to the glass. Harry was so angry at him and all of a sudden, the glass vanished and Dudley fell right in to the snakes exhibit.

He fell in the water and the snake slithered right past him and went to Harry and said, " Thanks, Amigo." "Anytime." Then the snake went past people and scared them all.

When Dudley tried to get back out, the glass was back. Then the Dursley's came back and screamed when they saw Dudley. On the way back, everyone was listening to Dudley saying how he got in there. Then at one point, Dudley's friend said, "Harry talked to it, didn't you Harry?"

When they got back, Uncle Vernon waited until Dudley's friend left then he asked, "What happened?" "I swear I don't know, one minute the glass was there and then it was gone! It was like magic!" "There's no such as magic!"
