Many years had past and Harry was 10 years old and tomorrow was his 11th birthday! But today was a special day, they were all going to the zoo because Dudley had passed a test at school, As harry got up he played with some of his toy soldiers that he had found under the carpet.

Harry lived in the cupboard under the stairs and he hated it very much even more when Dudley banged on the stairs and as he banged dust would come down from the celling , Mr Dursely spoiled Dudley rotten for hid birthday last week, he got 36 presents and complained as last year he got 37, see told you spoiled, he gets what he wants when he wants. uncle Vernin never says the word " no " .

Dudley is such a fat boy thought harry ,Vernin shouted " breakfast " and Dudley ran down stairs then back up to jump on then saying " Wake up Harry were going to the zoo ".

As Dudley laughed going into the kitchen for some breakfast, Harry followed not long behind, " Make my coffee now boy " demanded uncle Vernin, as Harry went to bring him some coffee.

He seen Dudley stuffing hi face full of bacon and chocolate! " I wish I could do that " thought Harry. As Uncle Vernin was packing Dudley and Harrys lunch for the zoo Harry felt very upset " I wish my life was more interesting " Harry thought to himself.

As they arrived at the zoo they seen magnificent animals lions, snow tigers, hippos and pandas, next they were going to head to the reptile room as they entered it was dark, there Dudley had seen crocodiles and venomous scorpions, then they both seen a huge snake that Harry was looking at and said " move " as Harry got shoved to the ground by Dudley wanting the snake to move as it was sleeping, Harry got angry and suddenly the entire glass disappeared and Dudley feel in and started screaming,

So Harry got up and rushed over and gave his hand to pull Dudley out and Dudley took his hand and said something Harry never thought he would ever heard " Thank you Harry " .

When they arrived home that afternoon after the zoo a letter was there addressed to Harry potter the boy who lives under the stairs, Harry was so shocked. He had never had an letter before and it had a strange stamp as soon as Vernin seen the letter he snatched it out of Harrys hand and burned it, Harry thought " its only a letter " why burn it and act so serious ?.

Letter after letter Vernin burned them , throw them away , ripped them all up, Vernin kept destroying them, as it was time for bed uncle Vernin was up the stairs and Dudley knocked on Harrys cupboard door and gave him a letter while saying " here take it , but don't you dare mention this to anyone and that means my father , that's for saving me at the zoo " Harry took the letter and replied " I wont I promise "
