D(2025·苏州模拟)
Uncle Vernon and Dudley came in the kitchen. Uncle Vernon opened his newspaper，and Dudley admired his own Smelting stick.
Suddenly，they heard the sound of the mail slot(邮递投递口). Mail dropped onto the front door. Uncle Vernon ordered Harry to get the mail. Harry went to pick up the mail and found：a postcard from Uncle Vernon's sister Marge，a bill and...a letter for Harry.
Harry picked it up in surprise. No one had ever written to him before. Who would? He had no friends or other relatives. But here it was，a letter for him，with just a simple address.
“Hurry up! What are you doing，checking for letter bombs(炸弹)?” Uncle Vernon laughed at his own joke.
Harry went back into the kitchen，still holding the letter. He handed Uncle Vernon the bill and the postcard. Uncle Vernon quickly opened the bill and then read the postcard.
“Marge's ill，” he said，looking at the postcard. “Ate something strange.”
Just as Harry wanted to open the letter，Dudley suddenly shouted，“Dad! Harry's got something!”
Uncle Vernon grabbed(抓) it from him.
“That's mine!” Harry said，trying to grab it back.
“Who'd be writing to you?” said Uncle Vernon，opening the letter and looking at it. His face went from red to green，then to white，like old porridge.
“Petunia!” Uncle Vernon shouted.
Dudley tried to grab the letter，but Uncle Vernon held it high. Aunt Petunia turned around and took the letter and read the first line. She looked like she might fall down.
“Vernon! Oh my god—Vernon!” she said.
They stared at each other，not noticing that Harry and Dudley were still in the room. Dudley wasn't used to being ignored(忽略).
“I want to read that letter，” he said loudly.
“I want to read it，” Harry said angrily，“because it's mine!”
“Get out，both of you!” Uncle Vernon shouted. He grabbed Harry and Dudley by the necks and threw them into the hall，shutting the kitchen door behind them.
