Rejected chapters from Book 7...Part One
CELEBRATION AT THE DURSLEYS'
It was an evening in the year 1986. A couple was returning from a Hospital with the wife clearly in tears. Petunia had had a miscarriage and Vernon was trying his best to console her. Vernon himself was in was saddened by this unfortunate incident, and was only trying to suppress his emotions in trying to make Petunia feel better. Petunia and Vernon had always dreamed of having a son, especially Vernon, who wanted his son to become a member of the House of Lords. Alas! It was not to be.
So, with immense sorrow, Vernon was driving back to Privet Drive when he suddenly noticed a sign on the wall on a building they had passed by. It was titled "St. Doctor Dre Orphanage". An idea struck him immediately, pretty quick for slow thinker like him. He brought the car to a screeching halt and told Petunia his idea. Petunia agreed instantly.
They rushed to the orphanage and found Miss. Ogilvy, caretaker of the orphanage. Miss Ogilvy was quite huge a woman in her fifties, with specacles that were out of proportion with her body size.
"We wish to adopt a baby boy", said Vernon.
"Well...as of now we have only one of them...too much of demand you see...with Margaret Thatcher being so stringent on the contraception laws..people are preferring to adoption to conception."
"We are not bothered about that!!", shouted Vernon, "Show me the baby!!"
"Well doesn't it sound like the dialogue from Jerry Maguire, which will be released in 10 years time...what was the dialogue....'Show me the money'....aah yes."
"I Say You Better Show Us The Baby Now!", yelled Petunia.
"No need to shout for that...Follow me." said Miss Ogilvy, as she led them to a room.
In the room, was a baby boy fast asleep. According to Miss Ogilvy he was 2 months old, but he looked like he was two years old! The Dursleys joy knew no bounds as they thought his eyes resembled those of Vernon's and his face resembled that of Petunia.
"Well...I say we must get the required papers ready as soon as possible...for you see we the demand is very high.." said Miss Ogilvy as she gave them a printed document contianing the list of formalities to be completed.
Two days later, A huge party was hosted by The Dursleys to celebrate the birth of their son Dudley Dursley. Petunia had wanted to name him Maverick...after Tom Cruise's role in Top Gun, while Vernon wanted to name him Vito after Marlon Brando in the Godfather. In the end Dudley was the name given, chosen by Marge Dursley, Vernon's sister. Dudley, by the way, was the name of Marge's first ever dog.
