Trouble at Home
Chapter 1
Harry Potter waved goodbye to his friends as he walked behind Uncle Vernon. He could almost feel the anger coming off his uncle in waves. But Harry just dismissed it as normal behavior.
The Third Task had taken a lot out of Harry. The nightmares came much more frequently, practically every night. And these ones included a young man staring up at him with surprise etched into his dead face and eyes.
That was the most frustrating part. Not being able to get away from that innocent face. //If Cedric hadn't taken the cup with me, he would still be alive today. It's all my fault. Everything is all my fault.\\
~*~
Harry got into the car and he and his Uncle drove to Number 4 Privet Drive in silence. But Harry could still feel the waves of fury washing over him. //What did I do to warrant such hostile behavior?\\
They reached the house in record time, but it still felt too long for Harry's comfort. They got out of the car and Harry proceeded to collect his belongings. Uncle Vernon walked to the front door and went inside with a slam.
Lugging his possessions behind him, Harry opened the door and went inside.
As soon as he closed the door, something hit Harry, hard, from behind.
"You thought it was funny? Doing that to Dudley?!!" Uncle Vernon spat.
Harry looked up dazedly. That had hurt. That had really hurt. He was used to neglect, but outright abuse? Then it finally clicked. The reason his uncle was so angry with him. The toffee from the previous summer. Dudley's tongue. //Uh-Oh.\\
*Smack* Vernon hit him with the table lamp right in the face. Harry thought he felt his nose break. Blood started gushing everywhere. He could taste it in his mouth and see it going everywhere.
"You dare get your abnormal blood everywhere in this house? I'll make you pay for that!"
A blow to Harry's stomach stopped all previous thoughts. He crumpled to the ground in a heap of pain. Vernon's shoe connected with his ribs. Harry curled into a protective ball to try and fend off the blows. But the boot connected again, and again, and again.
Then, with one last kick to the head, Harry mercifully blacked out.

More to come if you want it. Read and Review, please.
