The End of Summer
The summer had passed slowly for Harry. The abuse continued. The first hit his uncle gave him certainly wasn't the last. Sitting in his tiny barred bedroom, which could by some be called a prison cell, he thought of how it had gotten this bad. 'When did I become so weak?' 'I can't even defend myself from my MUGGLE uncle, so how in the bloody hell am I going to defeat one of the most deadly dark-wizards in history.' 'How am I going to get back to school, being trapped in here?'
'I know they'll never let me out, they'd rather I die first.' 'What's going to happen to me next summer?' Of course, whenever that thought came up he quickly squashed it; after all he had enough to worry about at the present without having to think about what sort of new punishments he would receive next summer. If he lived until next summer…. 'No, Potter stop talking like that of course you'll make it.' 'But will I…'

'I hate my life!' declared Harry after doing his daily chores that day; you'd think that they would at least feed their slave, which was in essence what Harry was to the Dursley's. He was in pain, working all day to be called a 'freak' and a 'nothing' can really start to do things to your mind, just as a sound beating will start to do things to your body. They continued to beat him only where the marks couldn't be seen, but that didn't ease one bit of the pain that accompanied the angry back and blue marks, or the raw throbbing belt marks (His uncle's new toy.) that left welts the size of quarters, criss-crossed with the scabbed red wounds that the belt left. 'Well, it could be worse I guess' Harry thought. 'At least this way no one will see anything, let's just hope I can keep it that way.'
Harry had continued to write to the Order every three days like they requested under his uncle's beady eyes. After writing the letters his uncle would carefully read them (Just to make sure the boy didn't slip anything about his harsh treatment in them.)and had Harry tie the letter to Hedwig's leg so that she could deliver them. Hedwig always watched Harry with an air of sympathy before mournfully flying off to her deliveries. She knew how he was treated, but she also sensed her master, no friend's need for secrecy, so she complied with him for now, there really wasn't much she could do for him even if she wanted to anyway. Harry had long since been sixteen, and with it he got the usual letters from his friends. Luckily, however he did not yet receive his gifts. Everyone had said that they would regretfully have to wait until the start of the new school year, due to many things.
For instance, the fact that the mail was still being closely watched by Voldermort and to a point the Ministry, who were now desperately trying to 'save face'. In fact, Harry had even received an apology letter from Percy stating how sorry he was for his actions last year. From what Ron wrote him the family had gotten one too, and though Harry still wasn't completely satisfied, and the Weasley's with the exception of Molly were still being a bit tight lipped, but there was still hope. The second reason being he would not see everyone until the new school year started was again part of Professor Dumbledore's protection plan. Which brings us back to 'How am I going to get to the station?' Harry thought glumly. It was only 2 days before he had to be at the station and his uncle had of course refused to take him, and beat him of even asking such a stupid question about what he deemed 'that nonsense'. This left him utterly stranded. With one last thought he drifted into a nightmare infested sleep, 'It's time to see if I can still think like a Slytherin'.
