Lucinda Dursley

Letter and Aunt Marge's Arrival

Lucinda's POV

I went to get the morning mail and saw Harry's Hogwarts letter. But there was also a Hogwarts letter with my name on it as well. "Lucinda, where is the post?" my Dad (Vernon) called from the lounge room. I hid my letter in the pocket of my hoodie before going to give him his mail.

"Father Harry's school letter arrived I am going to go give it to him" I told him. He grunted not looking up from the bill he was reading. I ran upstairs happy Mum (Petunia) and my big brother (Dudley) weren't home. "Harry your letter arrived" I said entering our shared room.

"Thanks Luci, what about yours?" he asked as I shut the door. Harry was the only that knew I could do magic. I nodded my head pulling out my letter sitting on his bed. We read it together:

Dear Ms. Dursley,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July. Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress

"I got in" I said happily hugging my cousin. He then read his letter and groaned saying my parents would never sign his form. I told him to go talk to my Dad before the others got back. Harry agreed and we went downstairs. I listened to the conversation and wasn't pleased to hear my aunt was coming over for a week.

When Harry came back we went to our room and he told me he'd take me shopping with him to get our stuff. I told him I was going to pack a bag encase we had to leave. It was doubtful we'd survive a week with my aunt here. And if Harry was going to leave s was I. Because I knew my parents would never accept me being a witch.

Later that day after the other two got home my Dad went to pick up my aunt. My Mum then made me change into a light pink dress and brushed my hair. I hated it when she brushed my hair she was always so rough. But Harry saved me saying he'd do it and my Mum let him.

I was in my room when my Aunt arrived Mum called me downstairs. I put on a fake cheery smile before heading down. When Aunt Marge saw me she wouldn't stop saying how adorable I looked. As I saw my brother enter the room and allowed her to hug him and pinch his cheeks. But I knew Mum gave him money so he would behave.

After I greeted her I followed Harry to our room and changed out of the stupid dress. I hated being dressed like a doll. I was a tomboy much to my Mum unhappiness. As Hedwig left to hunt I fell asleep on my bed. That was next to Harry's whose was closer to the window.
