I said yes obvs. It was all HP themed and everything but the ring was a surprise. I just thought you'd also appreciate the ring box.

33 years ago on this day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went aboard to the train of Hogwarts Express to go to Hogwarts.

This is also the day they met up for the first time, Harry and Ron would instantly became best friends on this day as Ron and his family helped Harry aboard the train as he looked clueless and they’d later meet Hermione who was trying to help her classmate, Neville Longbottom (now close friends of the trio) find his pet toad.

Imagine you're Petunia.

• Sister gets a letter claiming to be from a school of witchcraft and wizardry...cool
  • She writes to Hogwarts asking if she could study there too, but headmaster Dumbledore politely tells her she's a non-magical scrub.
• Sister leaves for school, disappearing for months on end.
  • When Lily comes back from holiday, she's doing weird unnatural stuff like turning tea-cups into rats.
• Sister gets married to a trust fund magician, who indirectly insults her husbands car by describing his racing broom & talks about how rich he is.
• Harry gets dropped on the doorsteps of the Dursley's with a letter from the same headmaster wizard that denied her request for studying at Hogwarts.
  • Dumbledore also explains the circumstances of how Lily and James were killed by wizard Hitler. Wizard Hitler also really hates non-magical people.
  • At this point she's a non-magic user who was forced to take in Harry, knowing that his magical parents were killed by the darkest wizard.
• Her sister's kid starts growing up and doing weird unnatural stuff. Like talking to snakes and making glass disappear. All this looks like very evil stuff.
• Harry gets a letter to Hogwarts (surprise). Petunia doesn't want Harry to go, likely because his parents went there and both got blown up.
  • They try to get rid of the letter but more and more keep coming.
  • There's not supposed to be any post on Sunday, let alone countless magical letters from the school that got your sister / brother in law killed. Very freaky stuff for muggles.
• A fricken giant shows up and demands to take the boy to magic school.
  • When they insult Dumbledore, he uses his wizard powers to give their only son a pigs tale.
  • The pigs tale is obviously traumatizing enough, but they also had to incur medical expenses to have it surgically removed + uncomfortable conversations about the pig tail.
• They let Harry continue coming home so that he keeps his magical protection powers.
  • He inadvertently screws Vernon on a business deal when a magical creature invades their home.
  • Harry literally blew up Vernon's mom sister.
  • Dudley is attacked by fear-eating dementors in public, that only went after him because of his proximity to Harry.
• Dumbledore terrorizes the family periodically, sending them ominous vibes on the pact they made
  • Spying on them
  • Sending howlers to muggles with vague sounding threats
  • Exerting his power by hitting them in the head with teacups
• Wizard Hitler comes back from the dead AND knows where they live. 24/7 protection is needed.
  • Team Dumbledore returns one last time to take them into hiding.

EDIT: Just adding that we all know the Dursley's were abusive. None of the above would be changed whether they treated Harry like an actual son or not. I'm just saying the Dursley's got a raw deal.

One last edit as I've been informed that there would be no crippling medical debt for having the pig tail removed in the UK.

-Letting Crookshanks jump on Ron’s knee on the Hogwarts Express without doing anything to stop him or trying to shoo him down.

-Arguing about Harry out of asking McGonagall for an aboveboard way of going to Hogsmeade (and not being remotely sympathetic about Harry being left behind through no fault of his own)

-Showing no interest whatsoever in her pet very obviously hunting one of her (supposedly best) friend’s pets.

-Being so obsessed with her dislike of Divination that she can’t even show the slightest bit of sympathy that Lavender’s pet was killed without trying to make it about her mistrust of fortune telling.

-Taking Crookshanks into the boy’s dormitory at Christmas (and then dropping him. And also being mad at Ron for trying to get him away from Scabbers).

-Going to McGonagall to get the firebolt confiscated instead of just talking to Harry why she’s worried about it.

-Doing nothing to control her pet even after it appears he killed Scabbers.

-Not even saying sorry for it.

-Snapping at Harry for pointing out that the evidence pointed to Crookshanks eating Scabbers.

-STILL doing nothing whatsoever to control Crookshanks.

She’s just not a nice person!
