The camera slowly pans up to reveal Dudley in his smartest school uniform, posing and smiling grandly. Ada thought it was the ugliest uniform she's ever seen, "Awww, smile." Petunia 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 states, proudest moment of his life, i mean how can you be that proud when you pay for him to go there. "Will I have to wear that, too?" Ada asks in disgust.

"oh pup i couldn't even imagine you wearing something so horrible."

They draw their attention to Ada "What, you? Go to Smeltings?" Ada nod as they laugh at her she didn't find what she said to be amusing it was just a question. "Oh, don't be so stupid, you're going to the state school where you belong."

"id rather go to state school then go to some stupid privet school with the blob of lard you call a son." She mutters under her breath. Petunia walks into the kitchen and fishes out a grey shirt in a boiler. "And this is what you're gonna be wearing when I've finished dyeing it."

"But that's Dudley's old uniform. It'll fit me like bits of old Elephant skin."

"It'll fit you well enough. Go get the post. Go!" Ada leaves the living room area into the hallway and picks up some letters, one of which had her name on it with his address of where she slept.

"You knew?!" Remus asks outraged, how could they know where she was sleeping and still do nothing, "We use self writing quills Mr. Lupin-Black, though Dumbledore does check them." McGonagall tells the wolf. Everyone looked to the headmaster for answers but he just stays silent.

Ada walks in with the mail and hands it to Uncle Vernon, then walks to her seat with her letter. After reading a postcard Vernon speaks "Oh, Marge is ill! Ate a funny whelk."

"I wished she died." Ada said shocking everyone, even her friends who knew what she did to the woman in her third year, Ada wasn't someone to wish bad on anyone even the ones who hurt her, so everyone knew the woman was bad.

Dudley suddenly notices Ada's letter and runs to snatch it from her and give it to his father. "Dad! Look! Ada's got a letter!"

"Hey, give it back! It's mine!"
"Yours? Who'd be writing to you?"

"Urm everyone in the wizarding world." Fred calls out making a bunch of people nod. "Really?" Ada was shocked, she didn't think she was that important for anyone to send letters to.

"Yeah, little ronnikins wrote to you about a billion times." George tells the girl as his brother turns the same colour as his hair "shut up" he grumbles out embarrassed. Sensing he was about to be exposed by his father Draco elbows Lucius shaking his head giving a pleading look making the man laugh.

"But i never got any letters." Ada tells everyone confused if so many people sent them to her why didn't she get any. "You didn't get any?" Remus asks the girl also confused, he sent so many letters to her and even presents on her birthday and Christmas, he thought that she didn't really care not really remembering him but now he knows she never got any of them.

"No, i didn't get anything from anyone." She was hurt, she could've known everything years before hand. "I didn't think it was wise for you to receive the letters, it would have been overwhelming. They're in the Potter vault" Dumbledore tells the girl. "That wasn't for you to decide, they were my letters." Ada snaps at the man, her neck doing a funny jerk which Mattheo took note of, she'd been doing that a lot when she was angry .

The family gathers to look at the address. There is a broken seal on the letter. The family looks up at Ada and she gulps. Much later, another owl flies by with a letter and drops it off. Inside, Vernon grabs a handful of letters and rips them up. In the closet, Ada was playing with her stuffed toys with a soft smile.
