Harry Potter And The Philosopher's / Sorcerer's Stone
Chapter 2 ( Part 4)
Harry Potter
I won't blow up the house
Petunia Dursley(Harry's Aunt)
*not listening * I suppose we could take him to the zoo,.....and leave him in the car
Vernon Dursley(Harry's Uncle)
That car's new,he's not sitting in it alone.
Narrator
Dudley began to cry loudly.
Narrator
In fact, he wasn't really crying, it has been years since he'd really cried, but he knew that if he screwed up his face and wailed , his mother would give him anything he wanted.
Petunia Dursley(Harry's Aunt)
*flinging her arms around Dudley *Dinky Duddydums , don't cry, Mummy won't let him spoil your special day!
Dudley Dursley(Harry's Cousin)
*yelling between huge (fake) sobs* I.....don't......want......him.....t-t-to come!
Dudley Dursley(Harry's Cousin)
He always spoils everything!
Narrator
He shot Harry a nasty grin through the gap in his mother's arms.
Petunia Dursley(Harry's Aunt)
*frantically*Oh, Good Lord, they're here!
Narrator
A moment later, Dudley's best friend, Piers Polkiss, walked in with his mother.
Narrator
Piers was a scrawny boy with a face like a rat.
Narrator
He was usually the one who held people's arms behind their backs while Dudley hit them.
Narrator
Dudley stopped pretending to cry at once.
Narrator
Half an hour later, Harry, who couldn't believe his luck, was sitting in the back of the Dursleys' car with Piers and Dudley, on the way to the zoo for the first time in his life.
Narrator
His aunt and uncle hadn't been able to think of anything else to do with him, but before they'd left, Uncle Vernon had taken Harry aside.
Vernon Dursley(Harry's Uncle)
I'm warning you
*putting his large purple face right up close to Harry's*
Vernon Dursley(Harry's Uncle)
I'm warning you now, boy--any funny business, anything at all--and you'll be in that cupboard from now until Christmas.
Harry Potter
I'm not going to do anything.....honestly....
Narrator
But Uncle Vernon didn't believe him.
Narrator
The problem was, strange things happened around Harry and it was just no good telling the Dursleys he didn't make them happen.
Narrator
Once, Aunt Petunia, tired of Harry coming back from the barber's looking as though he hadn't been at all, had taken a pair of kitchen scissors and cut his hair so short he was almost bakd except for the fringe,
Narrator
which she left 'to hide that horrible scar'.
Narrator
Dudley had laughed himself silly at Harry, who spent a sleepless night imagining school the next day, where he was already laughed at for his baggy clothes and sellotaped glasses.
Narrator
Next morning, however, he had gotten up to find his hair exactly as it had been before Aunt Petunia had sheared it off.
Narrator
He had been given a week in his cupboard for this , even though he had tried to explain that he couldn't explain how it had grown back so quickly.
