Harry's Last Trip To Smeltings
Harry had hardly arrived back at Privet Drive, yet he was already counting down the days to his return to Hogwarts. The moment he got home, the tormenting by the Dursley family recommenced. He was back to living in his miniscule cupboard under the stairs and being treated like a servant from day to day. Dudley had made some new friends at Smeltings this year who ended up being even worse than his old friends. After a few weeks, Harry had had enough. He thought it was time someone taught the Dursley family a lesson, and with his new secret weapon, Harry was just the one to do it. It was the last week of July and the Dursleys were about to leave for a weeklong trip to Africa and to Harry’s dismay, he was being dragged along. Beneath the bright …show more content…
Aunt Petunia looked absolutely petrified. “You take this back right now Harry Potter!” demanded Aunt Petunia.
Harry knew he should do the right thing and reverse the spell, but he wanted to enjoy the moment while he could. He stood there, taking in the panicked look from his uncle, the distressed sobs from Aunt Petunia and Dudley's quivering stature. After a few moments, he decided he had had enough and reversed the spell. He expected his uncle to start yelling at him immediately, but he seemed too afraid to do anything.

The trip to the airport was rather hushed and uneventful. When they arrived at the airport, the Dursleys had bought three first class tickets and one economy class ticket for Harry. Uncle Vernon was too scared to give Harry the economy class ticket so he decided that Dudley would take Harry’s ticket instead. This however did not sit well with Dudley, as he began to throw a tantrum in the middle of the packed airport.

His biggest tormentor still had his turn. Dudley was sitting at the front of the safari car, oblivious as to what was going on behind him. Harry knew just the spell to use on Dudley. He took his wand and pointed it towards Dudley, saying “Engorgio.” All of the sudden, Dudley began to grow in size. He grew bigger and bigger until he could no longer fit in the safari car. The Dursleys were terrified, their friends having run off in fear. Harry left the Dursleys like this for the remainder of the day, he wanted to enjoy his birthday on his own with no interruptions. As the sun began to set he returned seeing the Dursleys had not moved an inch. He reversed all the spells and decided he would find his own way back home, that is by way of broomstick of

    In the story it mentions, “Mr. Tillian grew to like his parrot, the more he talked to it instead of people, the more embarrassed Harry became,” this quote proves that Harry let his embarrassment take over, thus, forgetting to appreciate what he has before it's too late. Even if you feel ashamed by a family member, you should always spend time with them and let them know that you love them. Although, when they were at home things were totally different. Harry and his father were really close and even teased each other during…
