Mr. and Mrs.
Dursley, of number four, Privet
Drive
, were proud to
say that they were perfectly normal,
thank you very much.
Mr.
Dursley
was
the
director
of
a
firm
called
Grunnings,
which
made
drills
. Mrs. Dursley was
thin and
blonde
and had
nearly twice the
usual amount of neck,
which came in very useful as she spent so much
of her time craning over garden
fences
, spying on the
neighbors. The
Dursleys had a small son
called Dudley and in their opinion
there was
no finer boy
anywhere
.
It was
on the corner of the street that he noticed the
first sign of
something
peculiar
-- a cat reading a
map.
A

man's
name
was
Albus

Nearly ten years had passed

find
their nephew on the front step, but Privet Drive
had hardly changed

Dudley

was
no

a

and
now
the
photographs
showed a large
blond boy riding his first bicycle, on a carousel
at the
fair, playing a computer game
with his father, being hugged and kissed
by his mother. The room held no sign at
all that another boy lived in the
house, too.
Harry woke with
a start. His aunt rapped on the door again.

Exactly why Dudley wanted a racing bike
was a mystery to Harry,
as
Dudley
was
very
fat
and
hated
exercise
--
unless
of
course
it
involved
punching
somebody.
Dudley's
favorite
punching
bag
was
Harry, but he couldn't often catch him.
Harry didn't look it, but he was
very
fast.
Perhaps it had
something to do with living in a dark cupboard,
but
Harry had always been small and
skinny for his age. He looked even
smaller
and
skinnier
than
he
really
was
because
all
he
had
to
wear
were old clothes of Dudley's, and
Dudley was about four times bigger
than
he
was.
Harry
had
a
thin
face,
knobbly
knees,
black
hair,
and
bright
green eyes. He wore round glasses held together
with a lot of
Scotch tape because of
all the times Dudley had punched him on the
nose. Harry often said that Dudley
looked like a pig in a wig. The only
thing Harry liked about his own
appearance was a very thin scar on his
forehead that was shaped like a bolt of
lightning.

Dudley

Piers

Harry lay in his dark cupboard much
later, wishing he had a watch. He
didn't
know
what
time
it
was
and
he
couldn't
be
sure
the
Dursleys
were
asleep yet. Until they were, he
couldn't risk sneaking to the kitchen for some
food.
He'd lived with the
Dursleys almost ten years, ten miserable years, as
long as he could remember, ever since
he'd been a baby and his parents
had
died in that car crash. He couldn't remember being
in the car when his
parents
had died.
Sometimes,
when
he strained
his memory
during
long
hours in his cupboard,
he came up with a strange vision: a blinding flash
of
green light and a burn- ing pain on
his forehead. This, he supposed, was the
crash, though he couldn't imagine where
all the green light came from. He
couldn't remember his parents at all.
His aunt and uncle never spoke about
them,
and
of
course
he
was
forbidden
to
ask
questions.
There
were
no
photographs of them in the house.
Yet sometimes he thought (or maybe
hoped) that strangers in the street
seemed to know him. Very strange
strangers they were, too. A tiny man in a
violet top hat had bowed to him once
while out shopping with Aunt Petunia
and Dudley.
A wild-looking
old woman dressed all in green had waved merrily
at him
once on a bus. A bald man in a
very long purple coat had actually shaken
his hand in the street the other day
and then walked away without a word.
The
weirdest
thing
about
all
these
people
was
the
way
they
seemed
to
vanish
the second Harry tried to get a closer look.
At school, Harry had no one. Everybody
knew that Dudley's gang hated
that
odd
Harry
Potter
in
his
baggy
old
clothes
and
broken
glasses,
and
nobody liked to disagree
with Dudley's gang.

he
carried

They
heard
the click of the mail slot and flop of letters on
the doormat.
Harry
dodged the Smelting stick and went to get the
mail. Three
things lay on the doormat:
a postcard from Uncle Vernon's sister Marge,
who was vacationing on the Isle of
Wight, a brown envelope that looked
like a bill, and -- a letter for Harry.
Mr. H. Potter
The Cupboard under the Stairs
4 Privet Drive
The envelope
was thick and heavy, made of yellowish parchment,
and the address was written in emerald-
green ink. There was no stamp.
Turning
the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a
purple wax
seal bearing a coat of arms;
a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake
surrounding a large letter H.
