~ Privet Drive 4 ~
"Well, this is one hell of a summer" thought Harry while he was doing the dishes, it seems that the Dursley's where gonna blame everything that went wrong on Harry and being what he is, they haven't forgotten what happened last time he was there, the Ton-Tongue toffee was one step over the line and they decided to punish him for real this time. It seems they made him their official maid, gardener, cook, mechanic and all round 'do-it all'. He could feel this was gonna happen tough, he felt it after he stepped into the car when his uncle went to pick him up and when his car broke down so did Vernon, he pulled Harry into a secluded spot and started yelling at him
" Well, boy what have you done now? What did you do to my new car?" Harry was baffled, he blamed him? He's never even seen the damn thing, he's always got the latest ones it was hard to keep up with. "I didn't do anything to your car Uncle Vernon, I didn't even see it before now" but that was not was his uncle wanted to hear and yelled even louder this time "Don't you get fresh with me boy, I know you did something to me my car, you and your ... your ... ways" but I don't even have my wand on me thought Harry, how can me and my ways have done anything? "But..." I knew the minute I started my sentence that something was gonna happen and it wasn't going to be something good and I was right, Uncle Vernon lifted his hand and slapped Harry hard against his face and seeing he was unprepared for a blow of that magnitude he fell on the ground face first
And the strangest thing happened while he was on the flour trying to catch his breath, he felt sympathy run trough him but it wasn't he who felt it, it was like someone else was feeling it and he felt strangely watched, tough he couldn't see anyone around accept for all the cars in the traffic jam but they were too far away weren't they? He couldn't dwell it much longer 'cause his uncle was yelling at him to get up " Get up, boy ... Get up ... don't make me repeat myself" and Harry felt something go trough him like someone willing him to get up but he ignored it 'cause the tone his uncle used would even make the dead get up. When he stood, on wobbly legs, his uncle grabbed his arm and pulled him towards a cab, threw him in and yelled at the cab driver
"Privet Drive 4, Little Whining, Surrey and fast", Harry was glad he didn't own any Muggle money 'cause he was sure he had to pay the driver otherwise. When they arrived 'home' Vernon dragged him in the house and started yelling at him, after some time his aunt cut in and started yelling too as they proceeded to tell what Harry's summer would be like.
"From now on boy, you will cook all the meals and do all the housework, so that your aunt has nothing to do for a change ...", "you will also work in the garden and fix anything on the house ,is that understood?" butted his aunt in "Yes, aunt Petunia" answered Harry and started to leave thinking this was all over but his uncle yelling at him stopped him "Where do you think your going boy? We're not finished yet" giving Harry and evil look he continued "Your *school stuff* " he spat out the word like it was evil " will be put in the cupboard under the stairs where you will be staying from now on too" Harry's head lifted at this and he started to protest " But, that cupboard is much to small for me even without my school trunk, I won't be able to move in there" but this was not a right thing to do since it made his uncle only madder "Shut up boy, You will only speak when spoken too or you won't have any meals is that understood?", feeling if he said anything else he would be punished here and now he said "Yes, uncle Vernon" and lowered his head when his uncle continued "Your owl will be kept in a cage at all times and if she makes any noise we'll kill her" Harry could believe what was he hearing, this wasn't happening and if he knew Hedwig and cages she wouldn't keep quiet very long and she'll be killed, Harry felt a horrible dread coming on and his uncle kept on yelling at him "You will do Dudley's homework after what's been done to him, you are never to leave the house except to work in the gardens".
This all happened two weeks ago and Harry's been threaten like trash and anything that went wrong they blamed on him and his uncle would beat him, he just hoped nothing else would happen 'cause every time something did happen the beatings would get worse and Harry didn't know if you would last the summer if they got any worse. He finished the dishes and went over to his uncle to get a list of all the things he has to do tomorrow before he went to bed, without any food again, he hasn't had any food in few days and he was beginning to feel kinda week 'cause of all the work he has to perform none stop, the beatings and lack of sleep (he kept on having nightmares of Cedric and Voldemort). All letters he got were read out loud and then his Uncle dictated his answers so it would seem he was okay, he had to do this after he set Hedwig free and gotten a letter to ask what was wrong which ended up in a beating.
Harry was allowed to bed a little earlier today but that was only 'cause he got to get up really early so he could finish all his chores. When he lay down in his bed, if you could call it a bed, he was actually sleeping on his school trunk and when he lay down he couldn't move 'cause his back was against the wall and if he turned he would fall into the small space between his trunk and the floor. But Harry couldn't sleep even tough he was tired, he was afraid he's gonna have nightmares again and those strange feeling he was getting from seeming someone else didn't really help either. He kept thinking about what it could mean and after awhile he fell asleep.
A few hours later he was awake again due to another nightmare, he looked at the time and said "might as well get up and start breakfast for the royal highnesses sleeping upstairs" and climbed out of the cupboard and began working "This will be a long day" he thought while searching for the eggs.
