It crept into their living room, which wasalmost exactly the same as it has been on the night when Mr Dursley had seen that fateful newsreport about the owls. Only the photographs on the mantelpiece really showed how much timehad passed. Ten years ago, there had been lots of pictures of what looked like a large pink beachball wearing different coloured bonnets- but Dudley Dursley was no longer a baby, and now thephotographs showed a large blond boy riding his first bicycle, on the carousel at the fair ground,playing a computer game with his father, being hugged and kissed by his mother. The room heldno sign at all that another boy lived in the house too.CLASS C16- Four Home-made cup cakes decorated.
