Chapter 15: Learning

Holly winced at the sound of yells. Auntie and uncle Vernon were fighting. She frowned. The thought of them fighting...-They never fought. Perhaps they did once- but that was over a shirt of Dudley's. This however...

Holly felt disturbed. The thought of Dudley gone...

Before, she didn't understand auntie's words; what was dying? What did that mean? Was Dudley on vacation?

So after the adults departed in their room, she did something horrid. With shaky breaths, she opened the big encyklopedia book of uncle Vernon and searched 'Death'.

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
