Rowley Edited and Narrated by Joshua Cashill Harry Potter and the Philosophers No.
Dursley live at number 4, Privet Drive.
They are a perfectly normal family.
They do not like anything that is different or strange.
and they hate mysterious things most of all.
They prefer a life that is calm, ordinary, and without any surprises.
Dersley is the director of a large company.
He is a very fat man with a very short neck.
Dersley, his wife, is thin and has blonde hair.
Her neck is extremely long.
She uses her long neck to look over the fence in her garden.
She likes to watch her neighbors.
The Dursleys have a young son.
The Dursleys think Dudley is the perfect son.
The Dursleys have everything they want, but they also have a secret.
Dursley pretends she does not have a sister.
She pretends she does not have a sister, because her sister does not live a normal, ordinary life.
Potter and her husband are very strange and very dear.
Like the dersleys, the potters have a young son, too.
But the dersleys do not want their son Dudley to be around the potter's son.
The dersleys wake up one Tuesday.
It seems like a perfectly normal Tuesday morning, but the day is about to change.
It is about to become very strange and mysterious.
The Dersleys hate strange and mysterious things.
While driving to work, Mr.
Dersley sees the first strange thing of the day.
Near his house, he sees a cat reading a mat.
or at least he thinks he sees a cat reading a map, his eyes must be playing games with him.
Later, while he is waiting in traffic, he notices many people wearing strange clothes.
They are wearing colorful cloaks and capes.
Who wears colorful cloaks like that at this time of the year, he thinks to himself?
It must be a stupid new fashion that the young people are following.
But he notices that some of the strange people are not young at all.
But the traffic moves forward and Mr.
Dersley forgets about all the strange people he sees.
His day at work is very normal.
He yells at many people, he makes some important calls, and then he decides to go across the street and have lunch.
When he is about to enter his favorite bakery to order a sandwich, he notices another group of people dressed in strange clothes.
They are talking together in a group.
They seem very excited about something.
Dersley passes by them as he is leaving, and this is what he hears.
Dersley cannot believe what he hears.
He runs back to his office.
There are many people named Potter, he thinks.
And he is not sure if his nephew is named Harry anyway.
He has never seen the boy.
He wants to call his wife.
wife, but then he decides it is a bad idea.
He doesn't want to make his wife upset.
She always gets upset when she talks about her sister.
It is very difficult for Mr.
Dersley to concentrate it.
When it is 5 p.m., he leaves work to go home.
As he is leaving his building, he does not see the small man who is standing in front of him.
Dersley walks right into him.
The man he walks into is a small old man wearing a violet cloak.
He does not seem angry at all that Mr.
Dersley almost knocks him to the ground.
On the contrary, he smiles a big smile and says in a very squeaky voice, Don't be sorry, sir.
Nothing could make me upset today.
Be happy, because you know who is gone.
Even muggles like you, sir, should sell a This is a happy, happy day!" Then the tiny old man hugs Mr.
Dersley has no idea what has just happened.
He does not know the old man, and he does not know what a muggle is either.
Dersley is beginning to hate strange things even more.
Dersley drives home and is very surprised to see the same cat he saw earlier The cat is sitting on his garden wall,
It just sits there on the wall, looking at Mr.
Dersley as he enters his house.
Dursley tries to act normal around his wife, but it is quite difficult.
He and his wife and son have a normal, ordinary dinner.
They put little Dudley to bed, and Mr.
Dursley has time to sit and watch the news on the TV.
Birdwatchers have noticed very strange behaviour by owls all over the country today.
Owls are normally only at But today, many owls have been seen flying in every direction since this morning.
Experts cannot explain this strange behaviour, very, very odd behaviour indeed.
And now, the weather with Jim.
Is it going to rain owls later tonight?
I certainly hope not, but that is not the only strange thing happening today.
People from all over the country have been calling me and telling me they have been seeing falling stars,
thousands and thousands of shooting stars falling from the sky." Mr.
Dersley sits frozen in his chair, shooting all over Britain, owls behaving strangely.
Mysterious people wearing strange clothes and talking about the potters?
Dursley comes into the living room with two cups of tea.
Dursley thinks he has no option.
He must say something to his wife.
Have you spoken to your sister recently?
Dersley looks shocked and angry.
Remember, she normally pretends she does not even have a sister.
Just the strange things happening on the news, owls, shooting stars, and there were funny-looking people in town today.
I just thought maybe it had something to do with, you know, people like her.
Dersley has an angry look on her face.
Dersley, would be around Dudley's age now, right?
His name is Harry, what a nasty, common name that is.
Dursley's heart begins to beat very quickly.
He does not say another word about they both go to bed.
Dursley is in the bathroom, Mr.
Dursley looks out the window into the front garden.
The cat is still there on the wall.
It is looking down the street, like it is waiting for something.
