The next morning a stack of letters sat in front of the door waiting for Harry, Vernon took the liberty to burn them before the brunette could even touch them and nailed the mail slot shut. The morning after that another stack of letters sat on the porch as owls covered the yard, the car, mail-boxes, and lamp-posts. Vernon banned Harry and Solis from going outside that day. The next day to come is Sunday, and many emotions fill the house.
