"Get up! Now" You hear Aunt Petunia yell as she bangs on the cupboard door. Harry wakes up and rubs his eyes, "Good morning sleepy head" You groan while patting his head. " Good morning" He says putting on his glasses. Its like everyday I lose a bit of motivation to get up. Another day, Another 12 hours filled of sorrow. Living with these people is miserable. We are just slaves to them, Nothing more. It seems like the only person that keeps me alive, Happy, Feeling Worthy, Is Harry. I lay there contemplating getting up.

 I hear running feet above, Giant steps shaking the whole cupboard, I knew it was Dudley, He was running downstairs. I Quickly pull the blanket over Harry's face, I quickly covered my face almost right before he jumped on the step right above us, "What's going on?!" Harry says confused. "I don't want you to inhale dust when Dudley comes downstairs" I whispered.  "Wake up cousins!" Dudley says jumping on the step right above us, He jumps a few times before he runs downstairs. Harry opens the door to the cupboard, Before he can take a step Dudley pushes him causing him to fall into my lap. He gets up quickly and walks out the cupboard.

 "Oh here he comes! The birthday boy!" Aunt Petunia says as she Brushes her nose against Dudley's. "Why don't you just cook the breakfast and try not to burn anything" Says Aunt Petunia with an annoyed expression on her face. "And you.. Make Vernon coffee, now!" She gives you the same stare and leads Dudley to his presents. "How many are there?!" says Dudley in a bratty tone. "Thirty six! counted  them myself!" says Uncle Vernon. "Thirty six?! Thirty six?! But last year- Last year I had thirty seven!" Says Dudley. Harry shakes his head. What an ungrateful little boy! At least he gets presents! Harry and I don't get anything! Not even a birthday cake! But I am very grateful to have a brother like Harry, He makes me swans for our birthday since we were eight, I have two so far, soon it will be three.

 "well, they are much bigger than last year's" Vernon says stuttering. "I don't care how big they are!" yells Dudley now furious. " Oh, now now, this is what we are going to do, when we go out we are going to buy you two new presents, how's that pumpkin?" says Aunt Petunia in a desperate tone. About an hour later, We were finally ready to go to the zoo, Dudley rushes us out the door, before Harry and I got inside, Vernon shut the car door. "I'm warning you now, potters, Any funny business, any at all, And you wont have any meals for a week. Get in" Vernon says in a stern voice. Harry and I look at each other and roll our eyes. When we get to the zoo we walk around for a bit until Dudley sees a snake. They stare at it for a while. " Make it move!" Dudley demands. "Move" Vernon says while knocking on the glass. "Move!" Dudley yells pounding on the glass. "He's asleep" I say in an annoyed voice. "He's boring" Dudley says as he walks away. Harry turns to look around.

 "Sorry about him, he doesn't understand what its like, lying there day by day" You say in a calm voice. "Watching people press their ugly faces in on you." says Harry looking at you then back at the snake. The snake moves its head and does something that almost looks like a wink. You and Harry look at each other with a shocked expression on your face. "Can you.. Hear us?" You ask the snake in confusion. The snake nods his head. You look at Harry and his eyes are wide and he has a twisted look on his face.

 You nudge your head forward telling him to say something. "Sorry its just.. We've never talked to a snake before.." says Harry. "Do you.. Talk to people often?" You ask. The snake nods his head "no" and you and Harry look at each other and then back at the snake. "Your from Burma aren't you" Says Harry in a rather interested voice. "Was it nice there?" Asks Harry. "Do you miss your family?" I ask. Harry looks around and spots a "bred in captivity" sign. "Look Hayley" He says looking at the sign. "I see, that's us as well" you say putting your hand around Harry. "We never knew our parents either." says Harry.

 "Mummy, Daddy! You wont believe  what the snake is doing!" Screams Dudley pushing us aside. We fall onto the floor, Harry looks at Dudley and just like that, the glass disappeared. Harry and I look at each other in disbelief. Dudley falls into the exhibit and the snake crawls out. Seeing the snake out sent the whole zoo into a panic. "Thanksss" Says the snake. I look back at the glass thinking about Dudley getting enclosed in the exhibit and just like that, The glass reappeared. Harry and I looked at each other in disbelief again, We burst out into a quiet laughter, we found Dudley being stuck rather amusing. Aunt Petunia ran towards the glass in a panic. "Mummy! Get me out! Get me out!" Yelled Dudley in a panic.

 Vernon caught us laughing and he looked furious. Once we got home, Dudley darted through the door Freezing cold and wrapped in a blanket. They walk into another room leaving Harry and I with Vernon. He grabs us by the hair. "What happened?!" He says angrily. "I swear we don't know!" Says Harry groaning in pain. "One minute the glass was there and then it was gone!" Says Harry. "It was like magic!" I yell. Vernon throws us inside the cupboard harshly. He opens the small vent in on the door. "There is no such thing as magic!" He says as he shuts the vent.
