The scar's glow dies down, and the camera pans to Harry Potter who is now 10 years old, still sleeping. Then, the light turns on outside his bedroom cupboard under the stairs

"Up! Get up!" Petunia Dursley yells as she knocks on the cupboard door repeatedly "Now!" she unlocks it and smacks the door once more before walking into the kitchen

The great hall is silent

"You lived with my sister...and she locked you IN A CUPBOARD?" Lily asks angrily, she is gonna murder her sister

James, Euphemia, and Monty were also furious at the way their son and grandson was being treated

Everyone in the hall was furious, how dare they treat a little boy like that, especially the Potter heir

"Harry, mate, you didn't tell us you slept in a cupboard," Ron says cautiously, slowly turning to look at Harry who was avoiding their eyes

Celestia and Hermione were seething. Hermione was biting her lip to keep in her anger and Celestia was squeezing her hands into fists tightly, making her nails dig into her skin

Draco's eyes widen, his sister had told him that Harry didn't have the best childhood but he didn't understand it was this bad

Harry avoids speaking and keeps his eyes on the screen

Harry wakes up, turns on his bedroom light, and puts on his glasses that had tape on the bridge. A boy comes running down the stairs above the cupboard. He stops halfway down the stairs before going back up to jump on the staircase right above Harry's 'room'

"Wake up, cousin! We're going to the zoo!" He exclaims

Harry looks up to the 'roof' of the cupboard to see specks of dust falling down on him. The boy laughs before running down the stairs and running for the kitchen. When Harry does try to come out of the cupboard, his cousin pushes him back in, pushes the door closed, and continues his journey to the kitchen, closing the door when he goes in

"Oh, here he comes, the birthday boy!" Petunia is heard cooing at the boy in the kitchen

"Happy birthday, son." Vernon Dursley says as his wife and his son giggle as they rub their noses together

"Ew," Celestia gags at the screen making Harry laugh

"Exactly," He says

Harry comes into the kitchen, dressed in oversized clothes

"Those are Dudley's old clothes," Harry explains when he sees his mother's questioning look

Lily nods, silently adding that to the list of things to kill her sister for

Petunia sees Harry come in and grabs Dudley, moving away from him, "Why don't you just cook the breakfast, and try not to burn anything," she gives Harry a dirty look

"HE'S NOT A HOUSE ELF," Sirius yells as many nod in agreement

"House-elves shouldn't be treated like that either," Hermione says to Sirius, scrunching up her nose before turning to Celestia, "This is why I started S.P.E.W," she states with a roll of her eyes

Celestia nods at her best friend with a small giggle

"Yes, Aunt Petunia," Harry replies, immediately moving to the stove to start cooking the bacon

"I want everything to be perfect for my Dudley's special day." Petunia covers her son's eyes and moves them toward the family room while swaying slightly
