5. Colloportus

After a bad fight with Uncle Vernon, Harry stayed locked up in his room till Dudley’s birthday. Walking down the stairs, Harry heard Dudley complaining for the billionth time that he hadn’t gotten enough presents and his room needed to be filled with gifts.

“I can’t believe how spoiled he is” Harry muttered to himself.

Entering the kitchen, Harry grabbed a glass of water and some food.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?” Dudley shouted, “My friends are going to be here soon for my party.”

As Harry chuckled, Dudley asked “What’s so blooding funny?”

Walking toward the stairs, Harry muttered “You don’t have any friends,” thinking that Dudley couldn’t hear him.

But Dudley heard and retorted in the ugliest manner, “At least Potter, I have parents and a family.”

Harry heard the door bell ring as he bounded up the stairs two at a time.

“This will show him,” he said pointing his wand at Dudley’s door “Colloportus.” When the door had sealed Harry spoke “Now you can’t enjoy any of you bloody presents.”


The next week, Uncle Vernon had to hire a repair man to take out and replace Dudley’s door, frame and adjacent part of the wall.
