'Do you like it' asked Rose, mom of a 3 year old girl. 'Love it, mommy. Thank you'. Anna beamed after looking after her new room.
'Alright sweetheart now we will meet our neighbours. I heard they have 2 boys of your age, maybe you'll make a boyfriend.. Oooo I am so excited' ranted Rose.
'No boyfriend till 20. She's 3 Rose' exclaimed the father while the little one giggled, who was aware of something funny but understood nothing. She liked the way her parents conversed.
'Oh hush Louis'
'Kidding darling, Let's go, shall we?' Louis smiled extending his arm for his wife and the other hand for his daughter.
'Ofcourse' Rose kissed her husband while linking their arms.

Petunia hurried from upstairs as she heard the bell. Adjusting the heavy boy in her arms, she opened the door.
'Yes?' she asked in an irritated voice.
'Hello, we are your new neighbours just thought we would introduce ourselves' started Louis politely although he just experienced the irritated voice.
'Oh, I am so sorry please come inside. I am having a tough day at home'
' No worries. I am Rose McCann by the way and he's my husband Louis and that's our daughter Anna.'
' Pleasure to meet you all. I am Petunia Dursley and this is my sweet little boy Dudley' exclaimed Petunia while cooing her son. Dudley did not waste any time to wiggle out of his mother' s arm and stood proudly in front of Anna and extending his hand.
'Hi. Do you want to play?' but his words sounded more like order than a question.
'Ah my boy, so sweet. Started making friends' rushed Petunia and kissed his son's cheek.
While Anna stood there unsure. To her he didn't at all look sweet but nodded nonetheless.
Dudley took her upstairs and entwined their hands. The adults were soon joined by Dudley's father and were engaged in their conversation.
' I have so many toys.'ranted Dudley. While taking her upstairs he bumped into a boy, making the boy fall down with a thud.
'Move away, Harry' he shouted. Harry began rubbing his head with his hand with tears forming in his eyes. Anna noticied and freed her hand from Dudley and said, 'Are you hurt?'
Harry looked at the girl and a smile formed on his face. ' Yeah'
' Say sorry Dudley' she said directing her words to the confused boy beside her.
' No' he was shocked that why was she talking to his cousin and refused to make apologies.
' Rude, anyways I say sorry from him.'
Anna said
' No its not your fault. I am Harry, Harry Potter.'
' I am Anna, Anna McCann' she mimicked. Harry chuckled at her. He seemed to like the way she speaks. So humble and sweet which he was not used to.
' Join us Harry? we will play alltogether' she asked with a large hope in her tiny hazel eyes.
Harry quickly nodded, ignoring the fact that Dudley was not fond of it at all.
Anna made 2 friends that day and was happy. But the happiness was nothing compared to the two boys who found their first friend. Dudley was excited to show off to everyone that he had an pretty friend while Harry was grateful that he finally got someone who he could talk without getting furious reply in response.
