Back at the Dursleys'. Petunia and a bundled up Dudley come in.

"Bittchhhh," a voice sang out from the back of the room but no one knew who it belonged to.

Petunia was assuring a distressed Dudley, "it's all right, sweetheart. It's all right." They walk in the living room. Harry and Vernon enter, Vernon slams the door and shoves Harry against a wall, taking his hair.

"LET GO OF HIM!"
"STUPID WOMAN!"
"DON'T RUIN HIS HAIR YOU DUMBASS!"

Aurora followed behind hanging from Vernon's arm to try pull him off her brother.

"GO RORY!" The twins cheered happily fluffing around her hair.

"What happened?!" Vernon exclaimed.

"I swear I don't know!," Harry shouted back, Vernon snarls, "One minute, the glass was there and then it was gone! It was like magic!"  Vernon scoffs at this, shoves Harry in the cupboard   under the stairs, Aurora behind him her face in a deep scowl as she carried a small handful of bandages and excreta, and Vernon slams the door behind them.

"There's no such thing as magic!" Vernon shouted, he blackens out the vent on the door.

"YOU WISH YOU PRETENTIOUS WHALE!"
"TELL THAT TO OUR WORLD!"
"EXPLAIN THE GLASS THEN." Screams echoed as the future generation chuckled as they watched the muggleborns throw popcorn at the screen.

The escape of the Brazilian boa constrictor earned the twins their longest-ever punishment. By the time they were allowed out of their cupboardagain, the summer holidays had started and Dudley had already broken hisnew video camera, crashed his remote control airplane, and, first timeout on his racing bike, knocked down old Mrs. Figg as she crossed PrivetDrive on her crutches.

When September came they would be going offto secondary school and, for the first time in their life, they wouldn't bewith Dudley. Dudley had been accepted at Uncle Vernon's old privateschool, Smeltings. Piers Polkiss was going there too. The twins, on theother hand, was going to Stonewall High, the local public school. Dudleythought this was very funny. 

Smeltings' boys wore maroon tailcoats, orangeknickerbockers, and flat straw hats called boaters. They also carriedknobbly sticks, used for hitting each other while the teachers weren'tlooking. This was supposed to be good training for later life.As he looked at Dudley in his new knickerbockers, Uncle Vernon saidgruffly that it was the proudest moment of his life. Aunt Petunia burstinto tears and said she couldn't believe it was her Ickle Dudleykins, helooked so handsome and grown-up.

"What on earth is that!" Abigail exclaimed disgusted as she recoiled from the screen Harry's face buried into her shoulder as he laughed at the expression on her face. Many eyes were on them, mostly that of the future then Lily's eyes caught something the girl definitely wasn't wearing before, a small diamond shinning on her ring finger.

Petunia grinned at her boy, "Awww, smile." She takes a photograph of him. She gasps in joy. "Vernon, just look at him. I can't believe it. In just a week you'll be off to Smeltings."
"Caveat Smeltona. Proudest moment of my life." Vernon stated.

Aurora grimaced at the boy, slowly asking, "Will we have to wear that, too?" They draw their attention to Harry and Aurora. Petunia scoffed, "What, you two? Go to Smeltings? Harry nods, questionably looking over to his sister and shrugging. Both Petunia and Vernon laugh in amusement.

"Why is that funny you're just asking to go to school?" A Hufflepuff asked scratching their head.

"You'll see," Aurora chuckled.
