The Twins Who Lived

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal. Thank you very much. As Mr. Dursley walked out to his car he noticed a cat with odd markings around its face, watching his house.as he left his street, he thought he saw the cat looking at a map. Not realizing what he saw, Mr Dursley looked back at the cat who was reading - no, not reading looking at - the sign at the end of the street by the house. Mr Dursley went about his day, doing normal things like yelling at people and eating pastries from the shop across the street from his office. Only running into very few wierdos wearing funny clothes and talking about the Potters and their children named Harry and Winifred. He had hoped those were not the names of Petunias sisters' twins. When he got back, he was surprised to see that cat sitting on the brick wall by his house. "SHOO," he had told the cat it stared at him with an annoyed expression not moving. Vernon did not bring up to Petunia what he had heard about the Potters. Not yet anyway. As soon as dinner was finished and Dudley was put down to sleep, they turned on the news hearing about Owls being out during the day and shooting star showers instead of rain. Without trying to upset his wife, he asked what Lillys twins' names were. "Harry and Winnie, terribly ordinary names if you ask me," his wife answers in a nasty way. And then the lights in the bedroom were out, and they had gone to sleep. The next morning, when Petunia Dursley went to put the milk bottles out, she found two bundles of blankets with her niece and nephew and a note from Albus Dumbledore
