No sooner than that thick layer of parchment touched the buldging purple palms of Uncle Vernon, he was making excuse after excuse on how the letter wasn't real, and don't be silly, they must have made it during craft time at school. But little did he know, this was all too real for him, for Elizabeth, for Harry, and so many others.
Two days after the arrival of the letter, an owl came swooping in Elizabeth's bedroom window, as if it had come through that same window millions of times before. It carried a letter stating that on the last day of August, someone named Cornelius Fudge would come pick her up to get her school supplies and bring her to the platform 9¾.
As the restless nights passed by and the days got longer, August crept slowly through. And, as promised, on the morning of August 31, a man dressed in a new looking suit knocked on the Dursleys front door.
"Hello, I am here to collect Miss. Elizabeth Potter.", stated a tall man who must be Fudge.
"There is no one of that name here!!!" Stated Vernon as he opened the front door all the way so Aunt Petunia could see who was here.
"Oh, I do believe I have the right address", stated Cornelius curtly, "I also do suppose that is her right there, hello, Elizabeth!" He said cheerily as he peered over Vernon's thick shoulder to look at her.
"Well, you're surely not taking her." Said Dudley walking by to go to the kitchen, "No body would take her or her scrawny little brother if we paid them!"
"At least he doesn't take up half the table when he sits, Dudley!!!", Elizabeth quickly called as Dudley hobbled lazily into the kitchen.
"Ehem, Well come on then, Elizabeth, we must be off". But the little girl sat where she was.
"I'm not leaving my brother."
"Don't worry, he shall be taken care of while you're away"
Cornelius explained as he look tryingly at Vernon, "Oh!, of course he will!!!" said Aunt Petunia in a sing songy voice as she swooped in to the foyer.
"Well then we shall be off!!!" Said Cornelius as Elizabeth reluctantly stood up from her spot on the stairs. They walked out across the lawn and straight into Mrs. Figgs house, wondering why they were there, Cornelius quickly started to explain how to use flew powder and sent her on her way, to where? Who knows?
