Effie sat in her room petting Elvis when Vernon screamed "Potters!" She rolled her eyes and walked out of her room, Harry met her in the hallway with a look of confusion

Effie only shrugged as they made their way downstairs. Petunia was decorating a cake while humming "He's in there. Vernon" Petunia told the siblings

Effie stood against the wall with her arms crossed as Vernon tied Dudley's bowtie "I'm warning you two. If you can't control those bloody birds, they'll have to go"

"But, she's bored" Harry sighed "If I could only let her out for..an hour-"

Vernon cut Harry off with a laugh "So you can send secret message to your little friends? No, sir"

"But I haven't had any messages. None of us have" Harry replied "Not one"

"Who would anyone want to be friends with you two?" Dudley asked with a scowl as he walked over to Harry, jamming his shoulder into Harry's as he pushed past him

Effie smacked Dudley in the back of the head as he walked past her, he gasped and held the back of his head in shock as he looked too his parents for help "Don't look at them. They won't help you" Effie scoffed "You shove him again, I'll kill you myself"

"I should think you'd be a little more grateful. We've raised you since you were babies, given you the food off our table, even let you have Dudley's other bedrooms, purely out of the goodness of our hearts" Vernon said, more so to Effie

Effie raised her eyebrows as a smirk played on her lips "You only gave us Dudley's rooms for two reasons. One: Because I told you I'd call the police and tell them you were abusing children. And, two: Dudley had to move to, yet again, a bigger bedroom because he's getting too fat"

Vernon scowled at Effie, but the girl only smirked at him "Not yet, we must wait for the Masons to arrive" Petunia told Dudley when he tried to eat some of the cake

Effie threw her arms in the air "Exactly my point"

"Which should be any minute now" Vernon said, ignoring Effie "Now, let's go over our schedule once again, shall we?"

Harry and Effie stood apart from the Dursleys as Vernon explained the plan "Petunia, when the Masons arrive, you will be..?"

"In the lounge, waiting to welcome them graciously to our home"

"Good. And, Dudley?"

"I'll be waiting to open the door" Dudley said in a fake nice boy tone

"Excellent" Vernon smiled before turning to the siblings "And you two?"

"We'll be in our rooms, making no noise and pretending we don't exist" Harry said bluntly

"Not me" Effie chuckled, raising her hand "I'll be practicing my magic. Maybe I'll even turn your bedrooms into a trolls swamp"
