Drabble 1: extinguished An unwanted surprise.
He gently laid the napping babe on the cold, hard pavement, the normal twinkle gone from his eyes as he placed the note in the bundle. He stood up, watching the babe sleep peacefully for a minute before turning back to the others, who stood silently, waiting. With a sigh, Professor Dumbledore turned the extinguished lights on.
"Noooooo!!!"
Everyone on Privet Drive heard the ear-piercing scream from the resident of #4 as she opened the door, and saw her surprise waiting for her. With shaking hands, Petunia picked up the babe, who was now awake and closed the door, horrified. **I'm starting from book 1 and going all through the books, adding little stories here and there** |

| Drabble 26: Astronomy The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
The stars twinkled in the dark sky above Dudley's head as he gazed out his window. He watched as a bird flew past, its wings blending in perfectly with the sky above. The moon shone bright against the sky and he suddenly found himself wondering about Astronomy. Surely it wouldn't hurt to find out more about the interesting stars he thought as he watched one twinkle back at him.
He shook his large blond head and walked back inside, hoping no one noticed his daydreaming about stuff that will never happen. Pulling on his pajamas he went to bed, exhausted.

| Drabble 27: Divination The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
"The stars will shine brightly tonight." Harry intoned in a mysterious voice. Dudley jumped, turning to see his cousin standing by the door a grin on his face. It was three days before summer was over and Harry was in a weird mood.
"What are you on?" Dudley asked nervously.
"Oh, just Divination. You know, fortune telling?" Harry replied grinning.
Dudley made a small noise in his throat and ran. That kind of thing terrified him, and if Harry could do it then Harry was stranger that Dudley thought. Gulping he hid in his room the rest of the night.

| Drabble 28: Quidditch The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
The rain beat against the window as Dudley sat, bored out of his mind. He was trying to wrap his mind around a word he overheard his cousin say to his owl. Quidditch, whatever that meant. He couldn't figure it out and it made his head hurt, literally. He wasn't the brightest boy, he knew that but the word sounded familiar. Frowning he got up and bounced to the window, shrugged and bounced back to his bed, sitting on it and fuming. After ten minutes he gave up, going to his computer and blowing up aliens, forgetting his painful misery.

| Drabble 29: Care of Magical Creatures The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
The time had come for Harry to come back from school for his summer break. Dudley was fuming and a little scared at best. He didn't want Harry to return, he liked the fact that he had the house to himself with no strange magical creatures around.
"Care of Magical creatures?" he croaked, more to himself than anyone else as he was herded into the car, sitting besides Harry.
"Pardon?" Harry asked innocently, knowing exactly what he meant.
Dudley jumped, turning a pale pink color and turned to face the window, too scared to move, sneering miserably as Harry chuckled.

| Drabble 30: Potions The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Petunia and Dudley were in the kitchen one night, a few days before term started and jumped slightly as Harry entered, smelling of something foul.
"What is that awful smell?" she asked, almost shrieking at the boy.
"It's just a few Potions." He replied matter of-factly. He almost laughed as Petunia jumped up, strolling towards him and pointing towards the door leading outside.
"Out, OUT!" she shrieked.
"It's just a tiny spill." He muttered shaking his head as she stared at him fiercely. Dudley would have laughed if he hadn't been eating a double chocolate muffin at that precise moment.

| Drabble 31: Arithmancy The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
"Going on about Arithmancy like he knows what he's talking about." Dudley muttered as he stomped through the house into the kitchen, throwing the fridge door open in hopes of finding some snacks. All that was there were carrots and apples. "He doesn't even know what he's going on about." He continued to mutter; glad his mother wasn't around at that moment.
"What's that Diddykins?" his mother asked, walking in from the backyard, her hair in a perfect bun like normal.
"Oh nothing mom. Do we have any Twinkies?" he asked, changing the subject quickly as she sat down sighing.

| Drabble 32: History of Magic The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
"Whatcha doing?" Dudley asked one night right before Harry left for school. He was sitting with his door open, a lamp lighting his room up as he read through a book, frowning once in awhile.
"Oh, just reading a book for History of Magic." Harry replied nodding at the book which he had just closed.
Dudley peered at the cover, saw the words and blanched, not sure what to do.
"Are you going to tell on me for reading now?" Harry asked sarcastically.
Dudley shook his head nervously and backed out the door, hearing Harry begin to laugh behind him.

| Drabble 33: Charms The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Vernon breathed hard through his nostrils; they flared up dangerously as the vien in his head pulsed. Harry stood there, knowing he was done for; he watched as Vernon stalked towards him, the letter from the Ministry in his hands,
"What's this about Charms boy?" he demanded spittle flying from his mouth.
Harry backed up a few inches, the spittle hitting his cheek and shrugged boredly. Vernon growled and threw the note at Harry, pointing towards the stairs. Without a word Vernon stalked off, grumbling under his breath about wasting his time with the boy.
Harry smirked and walked off.

| Drabble 34: Hogwarts, a History The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Petunia watched with curious anticipation as the boy walked out of the house, turning down the street and out of sight. A sense of longing overcame her and she walked quietly over to the cupboard under the stairs, gently opening the lock. Slipping inside she shut the door, her eyes falling on a book with the words, "Hogwarts, a History"
Carefully picking up the book she sighed, wondering what it would have been like to go there, have friends and cast spells. Shaking her head, she gently put the book down and got up sighing, closing the door behind her.

| Drabble 35: Room The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Dudley stood back in the shadows, watching as Harry moved his stuff into his second bedroom; how dare they just let him move into his room! All his stuff was in there! Sure he never used them and most of them were broken or boring but still! And what was that letter about anyway? All of a sudden his parents were being nice to Harry, almost treating him civilly. Dudley didn't like it, nope not one bit. He thought of torturing Harry, but then he remembered what had happened to his bottom and froze. He did not like it, nope.

| Drabble 36: Dragonhide Gloves The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
It was dark in the house, everyone was sleeping, except for a round 14 year old boy who snuck downstairs, somehow managing to not make any noise and opened the cupboard under the stairs. He sat down on the dusty shelf, hearing it creak ominously as he reached down to pick something up. It was a glove, a dragonhide glove to be exact. Holding it in his hand he shivered slightly as the scaly material coursed through his fingertips.
He heard a noise upstairs and froze, jumping up and leaving the room quickly, leaving the glove dangling on the shelf.

| Drabble 37: Cauldron The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
The clang could be heard throughout the house reverberating through the window and moving the pictures on the mantel. Vernon huffed, rising from his seat in the living room and stalked towards the stairs. Climbing them he came up to the boys room and glared in.
"What was that ruddy noise?" he bellowed at Harry.
Harry froze, looking up and replied, "It was my caldron, sorry."
Vernon huffed, snarling, "Well, be more careful with your freak stuff! Petunia's taking a nap."
"Not anymore I'm not." Petunia stated, her arms crossed. Vernon blanched and began apologizing, knowing he had woken her.

| Drabble 38: Wand The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Dudley stared unblinking as Harry stood before him his face cast in shadows, wand in hand. His heart beat a furious beat in his chest as he stood there; sweat dripping off his large face. Suddenly all went dark, the stars blinked out, the wind stopped, and Dudley froze as Harry looked up, his face paling.
"Wha…what's happening?" Dudley asked, trying to sound cool.
Harry didn't say anything, but began to walk away.
"Where're you going?" Dudley asked shakily.
Suddenly he heard a noise and turned around to see, no feel something in front of him. He shuddered and fainted.

| Drabble 39: Hogsmeade The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Petunia wished for more; something other than hr mundane life. She secretly wished for adventures, like her sister used to have before she died. Oh, she didn't want danger, no but she wished she could walk down that Wizarding town, Hogsmeade, look through the windows of the stores, knowing she'd be going back to Hogwarts at the end of the day.
She closed her eyes and shook her head, knowing it wasn't meant to be and picked up her magazine, reading up on her favorite soap stars and their hidden secrets. She had her own secrets to hide as well.

| Drabble #40: Quill The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
The Dursley house was quiet, too quiet for Harry’s liking. Something was up, something strange. Hearing a noise down stairs he walked down the steps stopping in horror as he saw Dudley holding a textbook and holding a quill.
“Look at me, I’m Harry Potter. I have a quill, I can do magic.” he stated prancing around the room with a lampshade on his head.
Leaning against the wall, Harry watched wide-eyed.
“I have a broom I can fly on, I have a scar. Oooo.” Dudley continued dancing around the living room.
Harry coughed. Dudley froze, his face paling.
“Eep!”

| Drabble #41: Feast The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
The table was piled, platters tottering over the edge, barely hanging on. The Dursleys sat around it, waiting for Harry to bring in the turkey. Petunia had slaved all day ordering him to cook the meals, and he didn’t complain. Much.
“Where’s the turkey boy!” Vernon shouted from the table, banging his fists in anger.
From inside the kitchen came a horrible crash.
“What did you do!” He roared.
Harry shuffled into the dining room, one turkey drum in his hand. Slamming it onto the table he turned and stormed out.
The Dursleys gawked at the small leg in shock.

| Drabble #42 Room The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Drifting snowflakes.
Cold. Bitter cold.
Lashing darkness, surrounding him, suffocating him relentlessly. He was alone.
So alone.
Gusting wind, flakes of white hitting his eyes, blinding him.
Blinding.
“Help me!” he called out, knowing nothing would save him from the bleakness of the situation.
Running now, full out sprint.
Ghosts surrounding him, running out of breath. Gasping now, his vision blurring as the blackness crept towards him, enveloping him completely.
“No!” he screamed scrambling out of bed, sweat dripping down his brow. He was safe in his room. Safe in his bed, his stuffed teddy beside him.
Comforting.
For now.

| Drabble #43: Charms The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Skipping past Harry’s room, on his way to the closet to grab a new baseball bat to play with, Dudley stopped at the strange sounds coming from the closed doors. Moving silently, he stopped at the door and peeked into the keyhole, his eyes widening as he saw books scattered around the room, owl droppings in the owl cage.
“Quiet Hedwig, I need to study Charms.” Harry whispered as he looked at the snowy owl.
Dudley smirked. His other will freak out when she goes into the room to clean. Oh, this would be fun he mused rushing down stairs.

| Drabble #44 Dragonhide Gloves The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
“Dudders, wear your gloves please.” Petunia screeched from the livingroom where she sat watching her latest soap opera.
“But mum…”
“No buts Dudders, you’ll catch a cold and I can’t have you sick.” She replied not turning her head as the man bestowed his love for the female.
Sighing Dudley rummaged around in the closet, trying to find the gloves he had gotten previously. Something green glittered off the light and he picked up a pair of gloves. Pulling them on he didn’t notice Harry until Harry shouted,
“Put down my Dragonhide Gloves!”
Dudley paled before fainting on the spot.

| Drabble #45 Cauldron The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
The room looked like a hurricane had hit; papers were strewn all about, an owl cage was tipped on its side and the small dresser that had once held Harry’s clothes was in ruins. The only thing that stood was a small pewter cauldron, nicks and scratches all around it making it have a weathered look. A hint of something foreign hit the mans cracked and red nose, making the man crinkle it in distaste.
Vernon stood there, his breathing shallow as he picked it up, his eyes red with tears as a single word escaped his parched lips.
“Harry.”

| Drabble #46: Wand The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Fear crawled inside him as Harry held his wand, pointed at his face. He knew he wouldn’t use it; Harry loved that annoying school too much, yet there was a small part of him that thought that maybe, just maybe he would.
As the coldness overcame him and he saw nothing more than darkness, a feeling of utter misery flitting through him, Dudley Dursley thought that from all the years of torment and suffering, Harry Potter would use the wand against him. “Expecto Patronum!”
He barely heard the words as nothingness swept through him and he became an empty shell.

| Drabble #47: Hogsmeade The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Petunia often snuck into Harry’s room while he was off at school. No matter what Vernon said or thought, Harry was her flesh and blood. She missed Lily more than anything; those times they shared by the fire on New Years Eve, listening to the radio. Those were times when the world was at peace, nothing could stop them. Once she met James that all changed, though Petunia wished that they hadn’t stopped talking. As he picked up the Honeydukes chocolate wrapper, the name Hogsmeade written in precise letters, Petunia sighed.\
“I miss you Lily.” She whispered softly before leaving.

| Drabble $48: Veela The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Dudley was walking down the street with Harry beside him, one of those rare days when he didn’t want to be alone. Inside he loved Harry - to a point. He was more jealous than anything, from what Harry had been telling him he was even more so. Holding a wand and casting spells sounded cool - if not dangerous and Dudley wanted to join.
“So tell me more about a Veela.” he said out of the blue.
Harry turned to look at him, quirking an eyebrow before cracking up into a hysterical fit of laughter.
Dudley frowned and laughed.

| Drabble #49: Socks The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
The sound of laughter echoed over the hallway as Dudley came running, holding a pair of bright pink socks. Behind him, Petunia stood there shaking her head as she watched him splutter to a stop, wobbling on the edge of the stairs.
“Dudley darling, who’s are those?” She asked, a perplexed look on her face.
Dudley whirled around, nearly gasping for breath as the laughter continued, bouncing off the walls and reverberating over her small thin frame.
“It…it’s…H…Harry’s.”
Petunia smirked a moment. The smirk drew up to a smile and before she knew it she was on the floor laughing.

“Look at me.”
The voice repeated asked, sounding irritated. Sighing, Dudley turned over, flicking the light on and seeing what was there.
Nothing.
“Dudley, please.” the voice now pleaded, its edges piercing.
“I don’t wanna.” he muttered groggily turning the light off.
A shuffling sound came from his right and he froze as the light flicked on again, Harry holding his new shining telescope in his hands.
“Isn’t it awesome?” He asked excitedly, eyes flashing.
Screaming, Dudley bolted out of bed, only to hit the door and bounce back.
Sniffling he shouted, “MUM Harry scared me!” in a wavering voice.
