proise a wet night tonight&ot;
r dursley sat frozen his archair shootg stars all over
brita? owls flyg by daylight? ysterio people cloaks all
over the pce? and a whisper, a whisper about the potters
rs dursley ca to the livg roo carryg o cups of
tea it was no good he≈39;d have to say thg to her he cleared
his throat nervoly &ot;er -- petunia, dear -- you haven≈39;t heard
fro your sister tely, have you?&ot;
as he had expected, rs dursley looked shocked and angry after
all, they norally pretended she didn≈39;t have a sister
&ot;no,&ot; she said sharply &ot;why?&ot;
&ot;funny stuff on the news,&ot; r dursley ubled &ot;owls shootg
stars and there were a lot of funny-lookg people town

rs dursley sipped her tea through pursed lips r dursley
wondered whether he dared tell her he≈39;d heard the na &ot;potter&ot; he
decided he didn≈39;t dare stead he said, as casually as he uld,

to the bedroo dow and peered down to the front garden the

the dursleys got to bed rs dursley fell asleep ickly
but r dursley y awake, turng it all over his d his
st, fortg thought before he fell asleep was that even if the
