Home reading 6. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

The Dursleys had all they wanted, but they also had a secret.The secret was about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley’s sister, but Mrs. Dursley did not like her sister. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a baby son, but they did not want to see him.
The story started on Tuesday when Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up. They did not see a large owl behind their window. At half past eight, Mr. Dursley left the house and got into his car. On the corner of the street he saw something interesting – a cat was reading a map. For a second, Mr. Dursley did not understand what it was. He closed and opened his eyes and tried not to think about the cat. As he was driving he saw a lot of strange people. They were wearing green cloaks! Mr. Dursley did not like the people who got dressed funny clothes. Mr. Dursley always sat with his back to the window in his office on the ninth floor. So he did not see the owls flying at daylight, but the people down in the street were looking at them.
Mr. Dursley made several important telephone calls and decided to walk to the bakery. In the street he again met some people in cloaks and it made him angry. They were talking about the Potters and their son Harry. When Mr. Dursley heard those words, he stopped. He was scared. He looked back at those people. Then he walked up to his office, closed the door and told his secretary not to take the telephone.
He decided not to tell his wife about the news because Mrs. Dursley was always sad when somebody talked about her sister. When he left the building at five o’clock, he met a small man. He was wearing a violet cloak.
