Chapter 3: The beginning of work

Harry nodded, and grinned as he followed his uncle into work. He knew that by doing work, he could quickly build up his strength. And also, forget about last year's events that have been haunting him ever since.

When he got into the building, he gasped at the sight. The place was huge, with all sorts of stuff, but mainly drills. Uncle Vernon grinned proudly and sauntered into his office, with Harry slowly following behind.

"Now boy," said Uncle Vernon, smacking the table heavily, "you will do as I say or else you won't be allowed to work anymore! And no freakish stuff of yours, please!"

Harry Potter was in fact a wizard, who knew how to do magic. He attended the school of Hogwarts WitchCraft and WizarDry. He was a very good wizard, in fact, and he defeated the dark lord of the wizarding world a record of 4 times.

Harry peered over to see a huge schedule of tasks laid out for him. Among them were:

Transport 50 bricks to building site

Drill twenty holes

Wash drills with Ultra-Spray

His uncle sneered at him and said, "Well, boy, what are you waiting for?!

Get moving!" Quickly, Harry moved up and about.

Once he got to the construction site, he gasped to see huge 50 pounded bricks waiting for him to load. Quickly, he got to work. It was a very tedious task, moving the bricks a mile away. But it was good work, and by lunch break he had finished the brick moving. Harry sighed and wiped some sweat off his face. This was going to be one tiring, however interesting summer.

His lunch included that of some array of wheat, which didn't taste very bad, however his uncle took pleasure tempting him with a pizza, in which he didn't respond to anyway.

After lunch, he started drilling holes, and it made his hands very numb. However at the end he felt like he got much stronger, even if he couldn't see the improvement. He turned on the Ultra-Spray hose and washed all of the drills- it was such an easy task.

Soon Harry was done with everything by 5:00.

"I don't believe it! No one finishes that fast!" Cried Uncle Vernon in shock.

Harry grinned, and thought, 'well when you're Harry Potter, -_- ^_~~_^ you're different ^_~' and he threw the tools into the cabinet.

However, Harry saw soon that his achievements were not of Uncle Vernon's pride, as Vernon soon began assigning him 10 more tasks to finish by the end of the day.

Harry sighed, when will his stupid relatives ever treat him like their nephew? Never, probably. It was impossible. Preposterous.

But it was possible, and Harry knew, that one day, he would bring those relatives of his to their senses. Harry smiled and quickly finished up his tasks.

"BOY, WE'RE GOING!" Uncle Vernon seriously wasn't going to give him any rest…
