Harry walked upstairs to his old bedroom. There were a few books he had meant to bring with him and he wanted to collect a few owl treats he had left for Hedwig , if she ever returned here during a flight. He opened the door and stepped inside. He turned on the light and yelled at the sight of Dudley standing at the window , apparently not alone , locking lips with a pretty girl.
" Get out ..." snarled Dudley and he quickly pushed the girl away.
" Who let you up here?" barked Harry. " This is my room."
The pretty girl smiled at Harry who couldn't resist smiling back. Dudley glared at him.
" Hey Virginia ...I'll see you soon okay."
Dudley opened the door and looked out.
Harry looked at Virginia. " So you and Dudley are dating..."
" Dating " exclaimed Virginia...yeah sure...Dudley promised to show me his new car if I..."
" New car " said Harry puzzled. He held his breath. Virginia smiled and stepped forward.
" Dudley never told me he had a brother. If I had known..."
" I'm not his brother " said Harry edging away.
Dudley came back in and grabbed Virginia's hand and pulled her out. He attempted to kiss her goodbye but she pushed him away.
" Ooh dont do that Dudley " cried Virginia.
" Why not? " cried Dudley.
" Its gross " she cried. " You're gross " she muttered under her breath. Harry sniggered under his breath and waved to Virginia as she left.
He picked up his books and smiled at Dudley as he walked out.
" Quite the ladies man Dud."
" Oh shut up Potter , as if you have anything to talk about."
Harry laughed. " Actually I do Dudley. I've had quite a good time with girls , but none of mine came under the name of Wh..."
" Dont call Virginia that " snarled Dudley. " She's a lovely girl and she loves me."
" No Dud , she likes your invisible car."
" Its not invisible Potter. Dads buying me one for my birthday this year and Virginia doesnt like me for that."
" Of course not " said Harry. " She likes you for your kind heart , good sense of humour , and your gentleness with kids."
Dudley clenched his fists. " You are really getting on my nerves Potter. I wish the days were here , where...
" You could beat me up " said Harry. " Well thats gone Dud. Since I am taller than you and I am not afraid. Welcome to the real world Dud , the world outside Mummy's pocket."
