Letters and Hagrid

Harry woke once again to face the underneath of the staircase.
He accomplished his everyday responsibilities as usual. He went to get the mail from by the front door. He looked through the mail as he walked into the kitchen. The last letter was addressed directly to him. He handed the other two letters to Vernon. Dudley carefully watched Harry as he was about the open his letter. Dudley yelled to his parents that Harry got a letter. Vernon snatched the letter and studied the fronts he then flipped it over as petunia and Dudley both watched over his shoulder. Vernon saw the stamp which had came from Hogwarts and looked at his wife and son with worried looks.
Later on in the day a few more letters came addressed to Harry. Vernon ripped up the letters, he burned more letters and did whatever he could to make sure Harry never got a hold of one.
They were all joined in the living room when letters came spitting out of the fireplace then the door.
Harry jumped in joy as he tried to catch one. Vernon still made sure Harry couldn't read one.
Vernon insisted they left. They went far away and settled to sleep.
Harry had to sleep on the floor. It was 11:59 and Harry drew a birthday cake out of dirt and he heard Dudley's watch beep which meant it was midnight. It was now Harry's 11th birthday and he blew out the candles he had drawn. He was interrupted by a noise from the door. Everyone woke up and got scared as the noises continued. Harry hid behind the fire place as the door hit the ground.
Hagrid walked in, Vernon threatens to shoot him with a gun in his hand. Hagrid walked over and bent the gun as he was not scared. He looked at Dudley and assumed it was Harry. He went off on how he looked different specifically in the middle area. "I'm not Harry" Dudley said. Harry walked from behind the fireplace and told Hagrid that he was Harry. Hagrid handed him a cake and Harry thanked him. Hagrid took a seat and lit the fireplace with his umbrella. Magic. He handed Harry the letter.
Harry wasted no time to open it. He had been accepted into Hogwarts the school of wizardry and witchcraft. Hagrid assumed he knew about Hogwarts but Harry did not."your a wizard Harry." Harry was taken back from what Hagrid has told him "I'm a.. What?" He replied even though he heard him the first time. Harry couldn't be a wizard he assured Hagrid he's gotten the wrong person. But he did not. Hagrid claimed they had to leave and had no time to waste. Harry hesitated as he thought about all the lies the Dursley's has told him. Harry was furious but that didn't stop him from walking towards the door and leave with Hagrid. Harry wanted to know more as soon as he could.
