Harry Potter reached the bottom of the stairs to find Aunt Petunia and Dudley holding suitcases.
"What's going on?" Harry was puzzled.
Uncle Vernon glared at him. "Petunia and Dudley are going to stay with Marge for the rest of the summer. I will be staying here to take care of Grunnings, as those incompetent employees of mine can hardly be expected to keep the company going for the rest of the summer."
"So what do you need me for?"
"Marge will be coming to pick them up." At this, Harry let out a little groan and was rewarded by another glare fom Uncle Vernon. " I am now leaving for work. It is your duty, when Marge comes, to pack all of the luggage in her car. And if you are disrespectful to her in any way, I will see to it that you will never go back to that freak school of yours. I have also left a list of chores on the kitchen table. I expect them to be completed when I arrive home tonight. Do you understand all of that, boy?"
"Yes, Uncle Vernon," Harry replied with a little sigh. It was no use kicking up a fuss; this year, he just wanted to get through the summer without any problems.
Uncle Vernon gave Aunt Petunia a peck on the cheek and ruffled Dudley's hair. "Have a good time, alright?"
"We'll be fine, Vernon," replied Aunt Petunia.
Uncle Vernon then left for work. Ten minutes after, a green car pulled up by their house. They all walked out to the car, Harry dragging two suitcases behind him.
"Hello, Petunia." Marge had a huge smile on her face, which quickly faded at the sight of Harry. "He's not coming as well, is he?"
Petunia let out a little laugh. "No, of course not, Marge. He's just taking care of our luggage for us."
"Well then, get on with it, boy." As Aunt Petunia and Dudley climbed into the car (Dudley with some difficulty), Harry opened the car boot and started loading the suitcases into it. After he had done that, the car drove away.
Harry let out a sigh of relief, pleased that he wouldn't have to see his aunt and cousin for the rest of the summer. He then walked back into the house and glanced at the list that Uncle Vernon had left out for him. The chores included weeding the garden and making dinner ready for when Uncle Vernon returned. Harry grimaced, but set out to the garden, ready to tackle those weeds.
