Today is a special day. Well according to Mom. I walked down to the kitchen and waiting for me was Mom Dud and a pile of pancakes. "What's this for?" I asked curious why we had such a big breakfast for no reason.
"Today is special Har, Today we are taking a special trip to a special place." Dudley beamed as she was speaking.
"Where?" I asked sitting down.
"Here." Petunia said handing over a letter. I opened it and begun reading...

"Wait... My letter came!" I exclaimed happily.
"Yep and today we will be going to Diagon Alley to get all your stuff!" Mom exclaimed just as happy.
My smile slightly faltered when I saw who the letter was addressed to, "Wait, who is Harry Potter?" Petunia stopped for a moment and thought about how to approach this topic.
