She took a deep breath and said, "I have been living with the Dursleys, my relatives, since  I was a year old. I got my Hogwarts letter as I got older and they thought they were being spied on by the  Wizards. They forced me to sleep in a cupboard under the stairs that was filled with spiders and darkness. It was the best part of the Dursley’s house  because it was the only place that was safe. Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley would never come in there, no it was my place. Not even Charles came in since he stuck to his own cupboard."
