Chapter 4: Installing The Trap

Recalling the plot from the novel, he knew he must invite Amelia Bones to witness the Dementor attack, as proof that someone truly intended to kill Harry Potter.

The event occurred before nightfall, two weeks before Harry Potter's birthday, and now there was only one week left until it happened.

Dear Susan Bones,

This is your friend Dudley Dursley. As Harry Potter's cousin, I wanted to share the details of the night when my cousin claimed that the Dark Lord had returned.

I know my cousin—he may be annoying, but he's never a liar. We would like to invite your aunt, Amelia Bones, to hear the details, and we hope she will accept our invitation. Of course, you are also welcome to join us at our house.

Please come to this address XXXX at this time XXXX on this date XXXXX.

Dudley Dursley

...

"Harry, let me use your owl," asked Dudley.

"Owl? But my owl hasn't returned," said Harry Potter. It's been a week, and Hedwig hasn't come back after sending a letter to Ron Weasley.

Hearing this, Dudley remembered it was because of Dumbledore; he had prevented them from contacting Harry Potter. If I weren't a wizard, Harry might be lonely here, anxious, and worried.

"Never mind, I have an owl too," said Dudley.

"Since when do you have an owl?" asked Harry Potter.

"Hahaha, cousin, you never know about my life, but I know about yours," said Dudley. "What kind of cousin are you?"

"Erghhh."

"Never mind, follow me," said Dudley. He then showed him a briefcase. "Inside here, there's another world."

"What's inside that briefcase?" asked Harry.

"Do you remember the Weasley car?" questioned Dudley.

"Yeah, I remember," replied Harry.

"This is just like that car, but much bigger," said Dudley.

....

"Wow," Harry's first reaction was one of amazement.

"Now do you see why I'm always in my room?" asked Dudley.

"Do you spend all your time here?" Harry asked.

Dudley just smirked at Harry.

"This briefcase not only contains all these animals, but it also has a rune that prevents the Ministry of Magic from tracking our use of magic," said Dudley.

{The rune wasn't set up by Dudley; the briefcase is from the game items, making the location private so no wizard can detect the use of magic. All this information he got from the system.}

"What? You never told me that before!" exclaimed Harry.

"Hahaha, who told you to focus all your attention on that Weasley boy?" replied Dudley.

"Don't talk bad about my friend," Harry said, trying to defend the Weasley boy.

"Hahaha, okay. But speaking of the Weasley boy, didn't you find his little sister attractive?" asked Dudley.

"Ginny?"

"Of course. I noticed she liked you long before you went to Hogwarts," said Dudley.

"She's like a sister to me," Harry tried to brush it off.

"Even best friends can get married. So just because she's your best friend's little sister, that discourages you?" teased Dudley.

"No, she's just a little sister to me," said Harry.

"Okay, so can I marry her?" Dudley asked.

"No, you cannot!"

"Hahahaha, your face shows what Ginny means to you. Don't let others flirt with her first like Cho Chang. If you like her, just tell her family and get married," said Dudley.

"I'm only 15 this year," replied Harry.

"Who says 15-year-olds can't get married?" asked Dudley.

"The law says," replied Harry.

"That's Muggle law," said Dudley. "Wizarding law is different."

"What does the law say?" asked Harry.

"Just forget what I said. I'm not into kids; I like mature women," said Dudley. While passing the wand to Harry, he added, "This is a spare wand, and it's better to use a spare wand in here."
