MR. AND MRS. DURSLEY were average. mr dursley worked an average job. they had an average sized family. they lived in an average sized house. they were of average social status and made an average income. the dursley's were exceedingly mundane and they took great pride in being mundane.
in their averaged sized house on privet drive, they resided with their son, dudley, and their niece and nephew, harlow and harry potter. according to mr. and mrs. dursley, the potters are the only thing in their life that are below average. the potter's were placed with the dursley's after their parents were killed in an unfortunate car accident.
it had been almost been eleven years since the alleged car crash, and since the potter twins were placed into the dursley's care. it was just a regular morning in the dursley household when a sleeping harlow potter was woken up by the sound of her aunt petunia's voice.
"up. get up." her aunt shouted while pounding on harlow and harry's closet door.
it was clear to everyone that petunia dursley never wanted to take in her deceased sisters children. petunia and her sister, lily, were never close. she had always been jealous of her sister, that jealousy soon turned to hate. she, along with the rest of her family, hated the potter twins. petunia had a particular hatred for the younger twin harlow. harlow resemblence to her mother was uncanny, this made petunia hate harlow more then she could ever hate harry.
harlow sat up abruptly, hitting her head on the low ceilings of the closet under the stairs.
"ouch" she exclaimed as her twin brother turned on the lights.
her brother laughed as he put on his glasses.
"hit your head again?" he teased at his younger sister.
"shut it" harlow snapped at her brother as he continued laughing.
all of the sudden, the potter twins heard pounding above them.
"dudley" they said in unison knowing that their beloved cousin would do anything to annoy them.
"wake up, cousins!" dudley beamed, "we're going to the zoo!"
harlow thought it awfully strange that her aunt and uncle would want her and her brother to accompany them to the zoo. for any other eleven year old, the thought of going to the zoo would be exciting, but for harlow this just meant endless ridicule by her aunt and uncle. her aunt and uncle weren't particularly fond of harlow and harry, for reasons completely unknown to her.
as harry tries to open the door to let him and his sister out of their little makeshift room, he gets pushed back by dudley.
harlow giggled "that was karma," harry just rolled his eyes back at her.
the two potter siblings start to made their way into the kitchen where harlow is greeted by the sight of her cousin, dudley talking to her aunt and uncle. dudley was always a bit on the chubbier side, harlow figured this was because of the many years of being spoiled by their bitter uncle. dudley had brown hair that was perfectly combed into place, this was no doubt done by her aunt petunia. he was dressed head to toe one of the preppiest outfits harlow had ever seen, it was no doubt laid out by aunt petunia for him. normally harlow would make some sly comment about his horrid outfit, but she wasn't in the mood to get scolded by her uncle today.
