It was the start of the summer holidays when Cassia was allowed out of the shed and 'moved' back in the house. Harry was finally allowed outside of the cupboard as well. She and Harry discovered that Dudley broke his new cine-camera, crashed his remote-control aeroplane, and knocked down Mrs Figg one his racing bike, when Mrs Figg crossed Privet Drive.

Cassia was kind of sad that school ended, despite having no friends, getting teased over her second-hand clothes, and being called 'Cassia Potter, Queen of Toilets,' because Piers and Dennis was trying to force her head in a toilet at school, which resulted in all of the toilets exploding. She got in trouble with both the headmistress and Dursleys for destruction of school property.

She had gotten in minor trouble because she had impressed the teachers with her dedication to getting good marks and made her teacher happy that she was trying so hard to get good marks. She was usually in the library studying, a place that Dudley and his gang would never dare to go into. She really wanted to go to university that was far away from the Dursleys. She wanted to see the world.

However, at home, there was no escaping Dudley's gang, that was made up of: Dudley, who was the leader; Piers, Dennis, Malcolm, and Gordon. It seemed liked every single day, they showed up. To make it worse, they engaged in their favourite hobby: Potter Hunting.

They always split up, getting chased by either three members or two, while the rest chased after the other. Dudley and his gang was to thick to realize that they usually hid and then circled back to hide out in the cupboard under the stairs.

A good thing was that she and Harry were going to a secondary school called Stonewall High, while Dudley and Piers were going to Smeltings, which was Uncle Vernon's old school. Dudley thought it was funny.

"They stuff people's heads down the toilet the first day at Stonewall," Dudley had told them. "Want to come upstairs and practise?"

"I don't know, Dudley," Cassia had replied, before she could even stop herself. "You may not be able to bend that far down."

"Yeah," Harry had cut in, "the poor toilet's never had anything as horrible as your down it – it might be sick." They proceeded to run in different directions before Dudley can figure out what they had meant and chased after them.

One evening in July, Dudley paraded around the living-room in orange knickerbockers and flat straw hats that was called boaters. Dudley was posing as Aunt Petunia took pictures and cooed over him. Uncle Vernon said that it was the proudest moment of his life and then gave the Potter twins a disgusted look.

Dudley was also carrying a knobbly stick that was used for hitting each other, which was supposed to be for good training in later life. Cassia wasn't entirely sure how getting hit with a stick was supposed to be considered 'good training' for later life.

Aunt Petunia then burst in tears and said she couldn't believe it was her Ickle Dudleykins, because he looked so grown-up and handsome.

Cassia was trying so hard not to laugh at the sight and excused herself to get the Dursleys some tea.
