Almost ten years after the: DURSLEY's home. There is a sleeping girl and a sleeping boy, who were almost eleven, with a lightning-bolt shaped scar on there foreheads.

There is a click, and knocking. Outside, a tall woman, PETUNIA DURSLEY, raps the door.

Petunia: Up. Get up. {Knocks} {sighs} Now! {Smacks door of closet which is the twins bedroom}


A large, tubby boy, DUDLEY DURSLEY, suddenly comes running down the stairs above the closet. He stops half-way down and goes back, jumping on the staircase.


Dudley: Wake up, cousin! We're going to the zoo!

Dudley laughs, comes down the stairs and runs for the kitchen. The boy, HARRY POTTER, tries to come out of the closet, but is pushed back in by Dudley, landing on his twin (Y/N) POTTER.

Petunia was in the kitchen, where Dudley had gone.


Petunia: Oh, here he comes the birthday boy!


A larger man, VERNON DURSLEY, is sitting at the kitchen table.

Vernon: Happy birthday, son.

Petunia and Dudley giggle together. (Y/N) and Harry comes into the kitchen, dressed in rags.

Petunia: Why don't you just cook the breakfast, and try not to burn anything.

Harry: Yes, Aunt Petunia.

Petunia: and (Y/N) you help to!

(Y/N): Yes, Auntie

They set to work.

Petunia: I want everything to be perfect for my Dudley's special day.

Vernon: Hurry up! Bring my coffee, girl!

(Y/N): Yes, Uncle Vernon.

Petunia leads Dudley over to the family room, where there are a vast amount of presents. Dudley stares.

Dudley: How many are there?

Vernon: Thirty-six. Counted 'em myself.

Dudley: Thirty-six?! But last year last year I got thirty-seven!!

Vernon: Yes, well, some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year!

Dudley: I don't care how big they are!

Petunia: Oh, now, now, now. This is what we're going to do, is that when we go out we're going to buy you two new presents! How's that, Pumpkin?

***************************************
Outside, morning. The happy family is heading to the car. Harry and (Y/N) goes to get in but is stopped by Vernon.

Petunia: This will be a lovely day at the zoo. I'm really looking forward to it.

Vernon: I'm warning you two now. Any funny business, any at all, and you both won't have any meals for a week. Get in.

***************************************
The zoo. The family is in the reptile house, looking at a large BOA CONSTRICTOR.

Dudley: Make it move.

Vernon raps the glass of the cage.

Vernon: Move!

Dudley raps the glass much harder, and Vernon winces.

Dudley: MOVE!

Harry: He's asleep!

Dudley: He's boring.

(Y/N): No he's not!

Dudley and his parents retreat to another enclosure. (Y/N) and Harry are left with the snake.

Harry: Sorry about him. He doesn't understand what it's like, lying there day after day, having people press their ugly faces in on you.

The snake looks up and blinks.

(Y/N): Can you...hear us? {The snake nods} It's just...I've never talked to a snake before. Do you...I mean...do you talk to people often? {The snake shakes its head} You're from Burma, aren't you? Was it nice there, do you miss your family? {The snake turns its head in the direction of a sign which says, Bred in Captivity} I see. That's us as well. We never knew our parents, either.

The now awake snake has attracted Dudley's attention. He rips over to the cage, knocking (Y/N) to the floor.

Harry: are you okay!

Dudley: Mummy, dad, come here! You won't believe what this snake is doing!!

Dudley puts his hands on the glass wall. (Y/N), from the ground, glares at him. Suddenly, the glass disappears. Dudley wretches forward.

Dudley: Whoa! Ahh! Ahh!!

Dudley falls into the snake enclosure, sputtering in a pool of water. The snake gets out of the exhibit, stopping in front of Harry and (Y/N).

Snake: Thankssssssss.

(Y/N): Anytime.

Harry: Yeah, good luck

The snake starts off.

Man: SNAKE!


There is a lot of screaming as the snake heads for freedom. Dudley gets up to get out, but the glass is now back over the enclosure. He is stuck. He pounds the glass.

Dudley: Mum, mummy!

Petunia: {Sees him} AHH!

Dudley: Mum, help! Help me!

Petunia: My darling boy! How did you get in there?!

Harry and (Y/N): {Grins and giggles}


Vernon glares down at them and Both twins grins disappears. Petunia continues screaming: How did you get in there? Dursley, oh, Dursley!

***************************************
Back at the Dursley's. Petunia and a bundled up Dudley come in.

Petunia: It's all right. It's all right.


They disappear around the corner. Harry, (Y/N) and Vernon enter. Vernon slams the door and shoves (Y/N) against a wall, taking her

(Y/N): Ouch 

He grabbed Harry a well

Harry: Ow!

Vernon: What happened?

Harry: I swear I don't know! One minute the glass was there and then it was gone! It was like magic!

(Y/N): Yeah ! We didn't do anything!

Vernon: {Scoffs and shoves then both into the closet} There's no such thing as magic!
