There once was a boy named Harry (whose parents were murdered by Lord Voldemort :D) who was also known as “the boy who lived” and this is the story of him and Lord Voldemort.
It was an normal day with the Dursleys and as usual, Harry was making breakfast for himself and the rest of his family. Until when thousands of letters were flying into the house witch made Vernon say:
What the hell do you think you’re doing boy?
Harry: I’m not doing anything
Vernon: Well give me those letters then
Harry: fine
Harry gave Vernon the letters
Vernon opened one letter
Vernon: OMG your going to Hogwarts
Harry : faints
1 hour later
Vernon: Harry get up
Harry: next time I will try not to faint.
Hello Olivia,
Retelling a Harry Potter story in 127 words… As I read I realised this could have been part of a play script where a narrator starts then actors know what to say and do.
Unlike the original story where Vernon tries to make certain Harry doesn’t go to Hogwarts, Vernon says, “You’re going to Hogwarts.”
This made me interested in learning whether the story continues as in the book or in your version we find Vernon supports Harry. Well done.

Hello Olivia,
Good use of the prompt for the week. I was starting to wonder where the prompt would come in.
A well-crafted twist to a well-known story.
Keep up the good attempt, Olivia.
