One baby has a lightning-bolt shaped scar on her forehead
The camera slowly zooms towards the scar which glows brightly and it immediately flashes, transitioning to a stormy cloud sky. The film's title in metallic gold zooms out around the camera, and lightning flashes to brighten it up. Then, the lightning flashes engulf the screen, transitioning it to the present time.
The scar's glow immediately dies down, and the camera pans to see Mia who are now 10 years old, still sleeping.
Some people awed at how adorable she look. Mia shrunk into her seats, avoiding the attention but it's not happening.
"Adorable." Molly Weasley smiled at the screen. Sirius and Remus couldn't help but agree and look at the with admiration.
Then, the light turns on outside his bedroom cupboard under the stairs. Petunia: Up! Get up! (She knocks on his closet door repeatedly) Now! (Smacks door of closet and walks into the living room)
"What?"
The Hall fell into a shocked silence as their chosen one, who had been defending the enemy, the dark lord, in infancy, had been secretly confined to a cupboard for an unknown perhaps a long time period. Even the Slytherins were surprised by the unexpected lifestyle that the heroes of Gryffindors were experiencing. It was a life that they never thought anyone would ever lead.
Snape, The Malfoy were more stunned. Everyone had assumed that Potter enjoyed a privileged existence under her relatives, only to discover that they both had suffered a similar mistreatment to his own past.
Interrupted her almost peaceful moment, a large, tubby boy, Dudley Dursley, suddenly comes running down the stairs above the closet.
"Who's that?" someone inquired.
"My lovely cousin," came the reply from Mia, dripping with sarcasm. Those who overheard it immediately caught onto the tone of bitterness and insincerity embedded in the statement.
He stops half-way down and goes back, jumping on the staircase. Dudley: Wake up, cousin! We're going to the zoo! Mia looks up to the join works of the stairs with small amounts of dusts rising. Dudley laughs, comes down the stairs, and runs for the kitchen. Mia tries to come out of the closet but is pushed back in by Dudley. Petunia is in the kitchen, where Dudley has gone.
"Piece of shi-" Sirius caught the attention of others in the hall, causing a startle.
The closest People to the Potter were aware of only a fraction of Mia's life outside of school. They were aware of her being malnourished, evident by their behavior, However, they were unaware of the true extent of the terrible circumstances she endured. Molly was deeply affected, on the verge of tears, by the mistreatment, feeling remorseful for not having done anything to help her.
Remus took a deep breath, consciously attempting to calm himself down.
Petunia: Here he comes, the birthday boy! Vernon: Happy birthday, son. Petunia and Dudley giggle together. Mia comes into the kitchen, dressed in outgrown clothes. Petunia: [to Mia, unpleasantly] Why don't you just cook the breakfast. Mia: Yes, Aunt Petunia.
"They made you cook?" Remus asked, his voice filled with concern.
Mia nervously glanced at him. "Yeah, it's part of my punishment," Mia admitted with a hint of worry in her tone.
Remus couldn't believe it.
[Mia then gets to work on cooking the bacon] Petunia: I want everything to be perfect for my Dudley's special day. Vernon: [to Mia, who is taking his time placing the bacon on the plates] Hurry up! Bring my coffee, girl! Mia: Yes, Uncle Vernon.
Once again, the room was filled with disbelief and shock at the mistreatment that Mia had endured. Even Narcissa Malfoy, a mother herself, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the Potter child. She had grown up with nothing, starkly contrasting the experiences of the other children. The realization of her difficult upbringing resonated deeply with those present.
Petunia leads Dudley over to the family room, where there are a vast amount of presents. Dudley stares. Petunia: Aren't they wonderful, darling? Dudley: How many are there? Vernon: 36. Counted 'em myself. Dudley: 36?! But last year... last year I had 37!!
"He is pissing me off," Sirius glared at the screen.
Snape couldn't believe the day had come where he found common ground with Sirius. In this moment, his disapproval of the behavior was evident, reflecting the unexpected agreement between the two.
"That's nothing." Mia sighed, expressing her resignation to the ongoing mistreatment she had experienced.
Vernon: Err, yes, well, some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year. Dudley: I don't care how big they are! Petunia: [calming him down] 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?
In shock, Tonks asked, "Does he always act like that?"
Mia simply nodded in response to Tonks's question.
The room fell into silence as nobody knew how to react to the shocking actions of the Dursleys. The atmosphere was filled with stunned disbelief, leaving everyone speechless and unsure of what to say or do in response. The gravity of the situation hung heavily in the air, overshadowing any potential reactions.
Outside the house morning. The happy family is heading to the car. Petunia: This will be a lovely day at the zoo. I'm really looking forward to it. Mia then goes to go in the car, but Vernon stops her, pointing his keys at her.
"You better not hurt her" The people closest to her growled in unison, their anger evident. Their protective instincts kicked in, and they stood up against the mistreatment inflicted on Mia. Their unified response showed their solidarity in standing up for her and their refusal to tolerate any further harm.
Vernon: I'm warning you now, girl. Any funny business, any at all, and you won't have any meals for a week. Get in.
"He's threatening her!" Remus yelled, his voice filled with indignation. It was clear that he was condemning the mistreatment Mia had endured, recognizing it as a form of abuse. His outcry echoed the sentiments of everyone in the room who had witnessed and been appalled by the mistreatment.
