Harry saw the large green eyes dude sitting on hi bed
{{spoiler}}
[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] has returned to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|the Dursleys]] for the summer holiday, and things are hardly going well. On Harry's birthday, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vernon Dursley|Uncle Vernon]] berates and shouts at Harry during breakfast, triggered by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dudley Dursley|Dudley]] commanding Harry to pass him the bacon. Harry retorts that Dudley forgot to say the magic word. Merely mentioning the word magic is enough to send Uncle Vernon into a towering rage.
Uncle Vernon launches into his plans for that evening, entertaining a prospective client, Mr. Mason. Harry's role is simple: he will remain in his room, making no noise, pretending not to be there.
While in the yard later that day, Harry, looking at the hedge, sees two large, green eyes staring back at him. Before he can investigate further, Dudley nastily reminds Harry it is his birthday and asks why all his "weird friends" have not bothered to send any cards or presents. In retaliation, Harry says he is trying to magically set the garden hedge on fire, though he privately remembers that underage wizards are forbidden to practice magic outside school. Dudley tattles to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Petunia Dursley|Aunt Petunia]], and, as a punishment for mentioning magic, Harry must clean the house all day.
That evening, as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Mr. Mason|Mr.]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Mrs. Mason|Mrs. Mason]] arrive, Harry is sent to his bedroom. Harry is shocked to find someone sitting on the bed.
