Now there was also another thing both Vernon and Dudley had in common, they both were afraid of the young boy who lived in the cupboard under the stairs. When Dudley was younger he had often tried to play with Harry but his Parents had also stopped him, telling him it wasn't safe and that the freak of dangerous and over time Dudley had begun to understand what they meant, for example when Dudley had brought all of his friends around to play, they had all wanted to know about the "freak', as his parents called him, and Dudley explained that he was his cousin but he was weird so no one wanted to talk to him, his friends had decided they should play with him, chase him for a bit, but Harry had just disappeared, this happened a lot, every time Dudley tried to play with him something bad always happened so eventually Dudley had given up, now he ignored the freak as much possible, hoping that by doing this the freak would leave him alone, turns out it didn't matter what Dudley did because bad things always seemed to happen by just being near the weirdo.
