Dudley sighed as he knocked on his cousin´s door. "Harry! Mum wants you to come out and greet Aunt Marge!"

A few seconds later, the door opened and Harry stared out blankly. Dudley frowned and started walking away. He got to the stairs and looked back. Harry had not moved. "Harry! Didn´t you hear me? Dad and Aunt Marge will be here any moment! C´mon!"

Harry just shrugged and walked towards him. Dudley waited until Harry had started down the stairs, and then followed. Just as they got to the bottom, the front door opened and Marge walked in, followed by Vernon with her bags. "Petunia! How are you?"

Petunia walked over to Marge and embraced her. Marge gave her a kiss on the cheek, and then turned to Dudley. "Dudders! My darling nephew! Give Aunt a kiss!"

Dudley braced himself, thinking of the twenty pound note he had received from his mum, and then gave his aunt a kiss.

When he was released, he glanced at Harry, who was still standing silently by the stairs, watching with no emotion. Marge glanced in the direction he was looking in and spotted Harry. "You! Vernon´s told me some things about you. Not eating or speaking! Nightmares! Well, that´s going to stop! Do you hear me?"

Harry gave her a startled look, shrugged and turned to go back up the stairs. He froze as Marge continued speaking. "Vernon, I don´t see why you allow him to go to that magic school. Sounds dangerous. One boy dead, Harry´s problems, what kind of school is that?!"

Harry spun around and stared at Marge as if she had announced that she was the Queen of England. He then turned and stared at Vernon, who looked uncomfortable. He sat the bags down. "I told Marge all about your `school´ and the letter we received. She knows everything."

Marge grunted. "Yes, and about time too! Although, I can see why you wanted to keep it secret. I had a hard time believing you. But in the end, I did believe you and I decided to come and help out with Harry."

Harry continued to stare at them, then turned around again. But before he could start up the stairs, Vernon quickly walked up to him and grasped his wrist. "Where do you think you´re going? You´re coming to the kitchen with us. Tea and cookies, Marge?"

At her nod, Vernon started towards the kitchen, pulling an unresisting Harry along. "Petunia, did Harry finish that toast? He had better, he´s too thin."

Petunia sighed as they all sat down, Petunia on one side, Marge and Harry on the other, and Vernon at the end. "Yes, actually. Slowly, but he did eat it."

Dudley snorted. "Yeah, after Mum threatened to force feed him."

Marge frowned, and gave Harry, who was staring at the table, a thoughtful look. "Force feed him, hmm? Something to keep in mind."

She grabbed two of the frosted sugar cookies that Petunia had set on table before Marge´s arrival, and placed them in front of Harry. He just stared at them as if he had never seen cookies before. Marge took a sip of her tea and lightly smacked Harry on the cheek. "Eat. Vernon´s right, you are much too thin. You´re going to make yourself sick. If you don´t want to end up in the hospital, then eat."

Harry sighed and, picking up a cookie, began to nibble.

A/N: Yay! Another chapter done!

Gryffindor Girl and Kid Majere: Thanks for the title ideas!

ZeonReborn: Really?! You´ll shower me in cookies! Yay! I´m hungry. ^_^

Padfoot: Yeah, I know! The Dursley´s nice. O_O Poor Harry probably thinks that aliens abducted the Dursleys and that these are the replacements! ^_^

Well, what do you think? Please review! I´ll Luv ya 4 ever!
