A shivering cousin, a frantic Aunt, and a ballistic Uncle. Yepp, this was not gonna be good. I already dreaded being locked up in that cramped space.

Uncle Vernon dragged me and harry back to the house and started eyeing us up and down.

"What. Happened?!" Asked Uncle Vernon
"We don't know!" Harry immediately replied.
"The glass was there and then it disappeared!
It was like magic"

Vernon scoffed, "There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. Magic. And you!" He spat as he looked at me, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Because Harry is explaining what happened, duh."

His face started turning red more like tomato red. He shoved us in the cupboard and scoffed, waltzing to the living room.

A couple days later•

I walked in the living room just to see harry starting at Dudley and Aunt Petunia.

"Awww, smile. Vernon, just look at him. I can't believe it. In just a week you'll be off to Smeltings."

I glanced at the horrendous uniform.
"Will we have to wear that too?" asked harry.

"What, you? Go to Smeltings? Don't be so stupid. Both of you are going to a state school."

"But! We don't have any uniforms!" I uttered.

"Yes, you do! You will be wearing Dudley's old uniform." she scoffed as she glanced over at a pot.

I gasped in shock, "I can't wear that disgusting thing!"

"ENOUGH! YOU WILL WEAR THAT UNIFORM SO STOP COMPLAINING! NOW, be a sweet dear and get the mail." Uncle Vernon smiled.

I muttered under my breath and shuffled over to the door. Harry followed me for some reason and grabbed the mail before I could.

"Wait, Harry! Do we have any mail?"

"Huh, yeah?" he replied as he continued walking.

"Wait!" I smacked my head. When was harry gonna learn that we should keep our own letters private from the rest of our family? I can already hear Dudley yelling and Vernon snatching the letter.

I shuffled in the living room and saw harry arguing with Vernon.

"Hey, give it back! It's ours!"

"Yours? Who'd be writing to you?" chuckled Uncle Vernon

He glanced at the address and I saw the wave of panic rush over his face. I smirked, this was going to be a good week.

"Go to your room. NOW." he roared.

I and Harry rushed to our room and an hour later we heard the sound of whirring noise. We peaked out and saw Uncle Vernon drilling a piece of wood over the letterbox.

"Has he gone mad?" I nervously ask.

I thought that was the end of the weird letter but everyday owls would wait outside the house and letters appearing in eggs.

Sunday•
"Fine day Sunday. In my opinion, the best day of the week. Can you tell me why." Uncle Vernon asked.

"Because there's no post on Sunday?" We both replied in unison.

"Ah, right you are. No post on Sunday. Ha! No blasted letters today. No, sir. Not one single bloody letter, not one."

Suddenly, I felt Harry tap my shoulder, "Look something is moving outside, " he muttered.

I didn't see anything so I just went back to staring at Uncle Vernon's ranting when all of a sudden a letter hit his face.

I looked at the chimney and the house was shaking. Then letters started flooding the house. I heard Aunt Petunia shriek and Riley whining. I saw Harry trying to jump and pick a floating letter, meanwhile, I muttered idiot and picked up 2 letters from the GROUND and placed it in my jacket.

Uncle Vernon was chasing Harry and then he swiftly grabbed his collar and started fighting for the letter.

"Give me that! Give me that letter!"

"They're my letters! Let go of me!" Harry hollered.

"That's it! We're going away! Far away! Where they can't find us!" he shrieked.

I heard Dudley mutter something, "Daddy's gone mad, hasn't he?!"

"Yup, " I smirked.
