I was sleeping next to my brother Harry when we were rudely woken up by our Aunt Petunia. Me and my twin brother Harry slept in the cupboard under the stairs, it was so small, it was hardly was enough room for the both of us. We argued often about ones arm being on the others face or a leg ending up on top of the others leg. It was horrible having to sleep there.

I sat up rubbing my eyes while dust fell on us, Dudley, their spoiled little prince, ran up and down the stairs on purpose. He's been bullying me and Harry since the day we learned to walk.

Harry mumbled a quick good morning before getting out but he was pushed back in by Dudley, making him fall on top of me and pushing me to the wall.

"Oww" I whined rubbing my head. "Sorry but you know that wasn't my fault." Harry said as he helped me get up. Our clothes were huge on us since they were Dudleys old clothes, we walked into the kitchen and I can't help but make a face as I saw Petunia giving Dudley nose kisses, Harry goes to make the bacon while I serve Vernon coffee.

"Try not to burn anything." Our aunt scolds Harry, "Yes aunt Petunia." Harry never says anything back, I don't know how he does it, I always have to bite my tongue so I don't talk back while Harry just listens.

Petunia walks Dudley to the living room showing him all his wonderful gifts, I roll my eyes and look at Harry seeing him make a face as Dudley yells about how many gifts there are while Petunia calms him down, I turn to harry and mock him, making Harry chuckle.

Vernon raises his eyebrow at Harry "What are you laughing at boy?"
"Nothing, Uncle Vernon" Harry answered acting as innocent as he could, Aunt Petunia had gotten a call and she answered it while Harry, Vernon, and i watched Dudley open his gifts. She looked furious. "Bad news, Vernon..Mrs. Figg's broken her leg. She can't take them...Now what?" She asked.

"We can phone Marge."
"Don't be silly, Vernon, she hates them."
"What about what's-her-name, your friend- Yvonne?"
"On vacation in Majorca." She snapped.
"You could just leave us here." I suggested.
"And come back and find the house in ruins?" She snarled.
"We won't blow up the house." Harry said
"I suppose we could take him to the zoo....and leave them in the car.."
"That cars new, they're not sitting in there alone." Vernon snapped.

All of a sudden Dudley began to cry, but Harry and I knew he wasn't actually crying. He just knew that if he wailed his mother would give him anything. "Dinky Duddydums, don't cry, Mummy won't let them spoil your special day!" She cried. "I...don't...want..them...t-t-to come! They always sp-spoil everything!" He said as he shot us a look. The doorbell rang. "Oh, good lord, they're here!" Petunia said going to open the door. In comes in Piers, Dudley's best friend.

As we headed to the car Vernon pulls me and Harry towards him and points his finger at the both of us, "Im warning you two right now, if there's any funny business, any at all, you two won't have meals for a week. Now get in."

When we arrived to the zoo Dudley and Piers had gotten large chocolate ice cream cones and the very kind lady selling them asked if we wanted one, the Dursleys had bought us 2 cheap lemon ice pops. We had taken a look at gorillas and then ate at the zoo restaurant.

After we all stood there watching the sleeping snake, until Dudley demanded his dad to make the snake move, as if he had the power to do that. "Move" He yelled knocking on the glass, "MOVE" Dudley interrupted even louder, hitting the glasses harder. "He's asleep!" Harry explained, as they walked away Dudley sighed "He's boring."

"Poor thing" I told harry as we watched the snake, I felt bad for it, having to be locked up while it should be out in the wild. Harry must've felt bad too since he was now apologizing to it, "Sorry about him, he doesn't understand what its like, lying there day after day, as people press their ugly faces in on you."

The snake got up and winked at Harry, it actually winked, we turned to each other, our eyes wide in shock, "Did you see that?" Harry asked just as shocked as I was, I nodded my head and looked back at the snake "Um, did you understand him? Can you even understand me?" I asked, I felt dumb that I actually thought a snake could understand us, to my surprise it nodded yes. "Woah I've never talked to a snake before, do you talk to people often?" I questioned, obviously the snake nodded no, if I've never spoken to a snake I would be surprised if someone else has.

"You're from Brazil aren't you? Was it nice there? Do you miss your family?" Harry asked the snake, the snake pointed to a sign that read "Bred In Captivity" Harry sighed "That's us as well, we never knew our parents, either."

"Dudley! Mr. Dursley! Come here! You won't believe what the snake is doing" Dudley waddled towards us and pushed me and Harry onto the floor, I sat up rubbing my elbow while Harry looked at Dudley in anger.

All of sudden the glass disappeared, Piers and Dudley fell in, the snake slowly slithered out and came towards us, I held onto harry worried of what the snake would do. "Thanks-s...brazil here i come! it hissed, "Anytime!" Harry exclaimed. The snake slithered out the door and all of a sudden the glass was back, Dudley, Piers and Petunia were both screaming frantically while Harry and I laughed.
But our laughing quickly came to an end when we saw a very angry-looking Vernon looking down on us.

When we got back home Vernon waited until the Piers left and was pulling on our hair, dragging us inside, "WHAT HAPPENED?" He roared. "We don't know it isn't our fault!" I replied, he pulled harder and let out a little growl, if the timing was different I would've laughed. "One minute the glass was there and then it was gone! It was like magic I swear!" Harry explained.

He pushed us in the cupboard, "Theres no such thing as magic." He spat slamming the door.

Authors Note:
First Chapter done! I hope I didn't make it too long or too short, I also hope you enjoyed reading it! It may seem boring in the beginning because it follows the movie but please bear with me I plan on making this story very interesting. So far it follows the story of the movie and a bit of the book but I plan on adding some scenes of my own!
