A/N I don't own Harry Potter

This one is set before Harry goes to Hogwarts...

Dudley's thoughts

His emerald eyes glimmer in the dim light of the cupboard.

Body aching, weak from hunger,

He curls into a ball, chin resting on his bony knees and waits...

/

But no one comes,

And no one even knows.

They wouldn't care anyway,

For this boy, who has never felt love.

This boy, who is useless, a freak, an outcast in his own home,

His clothes, oversized, old and ragged,

His hair, unkempt, uncared for.

Parents, dead.

Trapped and unloved.

/

No one can help him

What does it matter?

It has nothing to do with me.
