"Get off of me!" Harry shouted.

"You're not going anywhere. And if this is what it takes to keep you here, then that's what I'll do. I just wish you would see that it doesn't have to be this way. If you would just do what your told—"

"Do what I'm told? Do what I'm told? So that I can spend my life sitting around doing what you say, hoping that one day I'll be good enough for you? That one day you won't hit me. That one day I'll finally get out of here? Why do that, when I can just leave now?"

"I just don't understand how you can be so ungrateful! We feed you, we cloth you, we send you to a good school. Maybe you'll finally learn a lesson." And with that, Uncle Vernon threw Harry onto the glass coffee table, cause it to shatter. "Maybe someday you'll learn." Uncle Vernon ran the knife across Harry's back and he screamed in pain. "Not. To. Break. The. Rules." In between each word, Uncle Vernon kicked Harry hard in the side. "Maybe someday you'll learn" Uncle Vernon cut him again. "to be grateful" and with one last blow to Harry's side, Uncle Vernon walked away, leaving Harry little more than a heap on the floor.

After what seemed like hours, Harry finally found the energy to crawl back to his room. By the feeling of things, he assumed that he had fractured his shoulder and broken a couple ribs clean through. His head was spinning, and he guessed he had gotten a concussion as well. His side was pretty bruised up, but seemed relatively okay. So, with nothing more that he could do, Harry sat on his bed and began to carefully pick glass shards out of his body.
