[The scar's glow immediately dies down, and the camera pans to see Hazel, who is now 10 years old, still sleeping. Then, the light turns on outside his bedroom cupboard under the stairs]

"You slept in a cupboard under the stairs?!" Lily exclaimed
"Uh- yes," Hazel shyly said
"I'm going to kill them," James said, glaring at the screen
"I'll join you," Multiple people said.
Draco looks upset over how he treated her, not knowing this is how she was treated. He was under the impression that she got everything she wanted since she was 'the chosen one.'
"Why didn't you tell us this was how you were treated?" Hermione asks, slightly upset as well.
"I didn't want to be a burden to people," Hazel says, looking down.
"You wouldn't ever be a burden," George says.

Petunia: Up. Get up. [She knocks on his closet door repeatedly] Now! [Smack's a closet door and walks into the living room]
[Hazel wakes up, turns on her bedroom light, and puts on her glasses with tape on the bridge, indicating that it was partly damaged. A large, tubby boy, Dudley Dursley, suddenly comes running down the stairs above the closet. He stops halfway down and goes back, jumping on the staircase.]

"PIG!" Sirius yells out; this makes people laugh; even Regulus laughs slightly at his brother's antics.

Dudley: Wake up, cousin! We're going to the zoo!
[Hazel looks up to the joining works of the stairs with small amounts of dust rising. Dudley laughs, comes down the stairs, and runs for the kitchen. Hazel tries to come out of the closet but is pushed back in by Dudley. Petunia is in the kitchen, where Dudley has gone.]

James glares at the screen, growling, and Remus tries to control Moony. Hazel quickly jumps up and sits between them, calming them down slightly.

Petunia: Oh, here he comes, the birthday boy!
Vernon: Happy birthday, son.
[Petunia and Dudley giggle together. Hazel comes into the kitchen, dressed in outgrown clothes.]

"WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?!" Lily shouts.
"Dudley's old clothes..." Hazel says timidly.
This causes people to become extremely pissed at what the supposed gardians of Hazel Potter were doing to her.
"I'm gonna kill her," James says growling at the screen.
"I'll join," Lily says just as mad.

Petunia: [to Hazel, unpleasantly] Why don't you just cook the breakfast, and try not to burn anything.

"HE'S NOT A HOUSE ELF!" Multiple people shout.

Hazel: Yes, Aunt Petunia.
[Hazel then gets to work on cooking the bacon]
Petunia: I want everything to be perfect for my Dudley's special day.
Vernon: [to Hazel, who is taking her time placing the bacon on the plates] Hurry up! Bring my coffee, girl!

"She has a name!" Everyone turned in shock as it was Severous who yelled this out. "What? She's being treated like a slave!" This causes everyone to nod growing angrier by the minute.

Hazel: Yes, Uncle Vernon.
[Petunia leads Dudley over to the family room, where there are a vast amount of presents. Dudley stares.]

All the purebloods gasp in shock since not even them get as many presents as that muggle boy.

Petunia: Aren't they wonderful, darling?
Dudley: How many are there?

"Why does that have to be his first question..." Molly says with a sigh, she holds a little Charlie on her hip as he plays with a dragon toy.

Vernon: Thirty-six. Counted 'em myself.
Dudley: Thirty-six?! But last year last year I had thirty-seven!!
Vernon: Err yes, well, some of them are quite a bit bigger than last year.
Dudley: I don't care how big they are!
Petunia: [calming him down] Oh, now, now, now. This is what we're going to do, is that when we go out, we're going to buy you two new presents! How's that, pumpkin?

"That is not how you parent!" Mia exclaims.

[Outside the house morning. The happy family is heading to the car.]
Petunia: This will be a lovely day at the zoo. I'm really looking forward to it.
[Hazel then goes to go in the car, but Vernon stops her, pointing his keys at her.]
Vernon: I'm warning you now, girl. Any funny business, any at all, and you won't have any meals for a week. Get in.

"THAT'S ABUSE!" Neville shouts but then ends up blushing slightly when people give him looks
James, Sirius, and Remus look like they are all about to storm off to murder people which scares some of the first years.

[At the London Zoo. The family is in the reptile house, looking at a large Boa constructor.]
Dudley: Make it move.
[Vernon taps the glass of the cage.]
Vernon: Move!
[Dudley taps the glass much harder, and Vernon nervously winces.]
Dudley: MOVE!
Hazel: He's asleep!
Dudley: He's boring.

"You're boring!" Hermione, Ron, James, Sirius, Remus, and Regulus all shout.

[Dudley and his parents head over to another enclosure. Hazel is left with the snake.]
Hazel: Sorry about him. He doesn't understand what it's like, lying there day after day, having people press their ugly faces in on you. [The snake looks up and blinks.]

"Oh like that's a normal thing to talk to snakes," Ron says jokingly rolling his eyes.
"Leave me alone I didn't have any friends," Hazel says putting her face into her hands.
"Wait did that snake just blink?" Lucius asks confused
"Mom, dad, why can Hazel speak to snakes, I didn't think any of us could?" James asks and his parents just shrug.
"It will be explained in the second movie Dad," Hazel says. She misses the smile that shoots onto Jame's face when he hears her call him that.

Hazel: Can you...hear me? [The snake nods] It's just...I've never talked to a snake before. Do you...I mean...do you talk to people often? [The snake shakes its head] You're from Burma, aren't you? Was it nice there, do you miss your family? [The snake turns its head in the direction of a sign which says, Bred in Captivity] I see. That's me as well. I never knew my parents, either.

James and Lily look at each other upset that they haven't been there for Hazel as she grew up. The rest of their friends were all thinking about how they would save them, although no one knows why the two parents weren't there for their child as they had yet to get answers.

[The now awake snake has attracted Dudley's attention. He comes over to the glass, knocking Hazel to the floor.]

This just makes Draco even more upset over how he treated Hazel, he didn't know about all of this.

Dudley: Mommy, dad, come here! You won't believe what this snake is doing!
[Dudley puts his hands on the glass wall. With his back turned, Hazel glares at him. Suddenly, the glass disappears, causing Dudley to wretch forward, losing his balance.]

This causes everyone to start laughing forgetting about what happened earlier.
"That is some powerful accidentally magic you had there Ms. Potter," Dumbledore says with a twinkle in his eye. Hazel only nods her head not really wanting to speak to the old man.

Dudley: Whoa! Ahh! Ahh!!
[Dudley falls into the snake enclosure, sputtering in a pool of water. Hazel snickers at what he saw. The snake gets out of the exhibit, stopping in front of Hazel.]
Snake: Thanks.
Hazel: Anytime.

Regulus laughs, "why do you just not seem bothered about what is happening!"

[The snake slivers off to the exit.]
Man: SNAKE!
[There is a lot of screaming as the snake heads for freedom. Dudley gets up to get out, but the glass is now back over the enclosure. Seeing that he is now trapped, he pounds the glass in panic.]

This causes everyone to start laughing even more than before.

Dudley: Mom, mommy!
Petunia: [notices him in the exhibit] AHH!
Dudley: Mom, help! Help me!
Petunia: My darling boy! How did you get in there?! How did you get in there? Dudley, oh, Dudley!
[Hazel grins and snickers, Vernon notices this and glares down at her. Hazel's grin disappears, knowing that she is in trouble with Vernon.]

"If he lays a hand on her im going to flip my shit," James growls out.
"Launguage!" Mia exclaims at her son.
