Petunia: UP! GET UP! UP

I woke up in the basement with a start.  Aunt Petunia was pounding on the door.I sit up and shake my twin brother awake. 

Ivy: Harry we have to get up

Harry rolls over and groans then finally gets up.

Harry: Morning Ivy

Ivy: Morning

Aunt Petunia bangs on door again.

Petunia: UP!!!

Ivy: We're up! Keep you hair on!

I shout back at her annoyed. She ignores my comment and goes back down into the kitchen.

Ivy: Come on. We better go up there

Aunt Petunia was back. 

Petunia: Are you guys up yet?!!

Ivy: WE'RE BLOODY UP!

I knew she wasn't gonna let that one slide

Petunia: WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME GIRL!!!!

Ivy: YOU HEARD ME!!

There was a silence. I knew I had gone too far but I didn't care

Petunia: Well get a move I want you two to cook bacon. AND DON'T BURN IT!! I want everything to be perfect on Dudley's birthday.

I groan I had forgotten it was Pig's birthday. Every year he just doesn't get older he gets fatter. Soon he was gonna be the size of a blue whale. 

Ivy: I'm guessing you forgot it was Pig's birthday too. You know I might just burn his food on purpose just to ruin his big day

Harry: I would usually be on board but we didn't get fed yesterday cause you pulled a prank on him and I really want to eat today.

I shrug and start walking up the basement stairs. I pause for a second and turn to look at Harry. 

Ivy: Did you have strange dream tonight?

Harry: Yeah come to think of it. It was like I heard our parents dying.

Ivy: me too but I saw a flash of light and didn't Aunt and Uncle say that they died in a car crash.

Harry: Yea I know but  lets talk later before Aunt Petunia comes back 

I nod at him and continue up the stairs and into the kitchen. I go over to the fire to start frying some bacon whilst listening to Pig's latest problems. 

Dudley: PRESENTS!! How many are there?

Vermon: 36!! Counted them myself

Ivy: Oh well done would you like a trophy?

They all ignored this.

Dudley: 36!!! BUT LAST YEAR LAST YEAR I HAD 37!!!

Ivy: I just want one.

They all ignore this again.

Petunia: Oh but some of them are quite bigger than last years
Dudley: I DON'T CARE HOW BIG THEY ARE!!!!
Petunia: Tell you what we'll but 2 more presents later. Is that alright Diddy-Kins

It seemed to be alright as Pig stopped complaining and started to eat himself cooked. Ironic isn't it Pig eating bacon I thought to myself. I thought I heard Harry say good one but he couldn't have . It must have been my mind playing tricks on me. I turn back the the Dursleys . Aunt Petunia was now on the phone. 

Petunia: Vermon bad news fig's broken her leg
Vermon: Well who's gonna take them
Ivy: We have names you know
Petunia: what about Marge?
Vermon: Don't be stupid, She hates them especially the girl
