Not So Perfect

Chapter 2

Harry couldn't believe it. He read Dumbledore's answer again.

Harry-

You are perfectly safe with the Dursleys. Stay there, DO NOT LEAVE, DO NOT DO ANYTHING RASH.

Dumbledore

Professor Dumbledore didn't believe him. His last hope was gone. What would he do? Before Harry could answer that, the letter was snatched out of his hands by his uncle. Seeing him, Harry knew what was coming, and braced himself for the pain.

…

'Perfectly safe?' Ha! If only Dumbledore was here now. Harry lay on the floor of the cellar, broken and bleeding. As Harry surveyed the damage, he realized it was a lot worse that he had thought.

Several of his ribs were broken; that meant he could have internal bleeding, and the could puncture a lung or something. His right leg was bleeding from a deep gash. His left leg… he wasn't sure. It was out of his line of sight, but unlike his right leg, his left leg was numb. Whatever had happened to it, it was probably worse than his right one.

Harry's back was a bloody mess. His uncle had, at some point, gotten out his belt. His black hair was matted with blood. The blood that was slowly starting to pool around Harry. The blood that was his.

There's so much blood. Harry thought, It couldn't possible all be mine… is there someone else in here? But no, that's not possible. So then it must all be my blood…But there was to much blood for it all to be coming from his back and leg… so where…?

My arm… He realized, My arm is bleeding. He remembered his uncle taking out his knife, and taking his arm, and… he looked at his arm.

'FREAK ' was carved into his arm, as if his uncles consent banter of how he was useless and stupid and abnormal wasn't enough.

Harry glared at the bright red word. He hated it. He hated it because it was true. Because he knew it was true. It was mocking him, forcing him to acknowledge that it was right. That he was stupid and useless. That he was a freak.

Harry laughed bitterly in the dark.
