A high-pitched scream was ringing in his ears, though it seemed too far away for him to make out any words, though he could tell that the voice was a woman's.
The scream was followed by cold, bone-chilling laugh.
How could anyone laugh at the terrible pain the woman must be in.
The screaming stopped, so did the laughter, in their stead, clear words were ringing in his ears.
"FREAK", his aunt's voice echoed in his mind.
"ABOMINATION", Vernon's voice spat.
"No one could ever love you", Dudley's voice jeered. He remembered this.
It's what Dudley had said when he had tried to make a friend when he was five.
His cousin had obviously driven his new friend away, just like he had countless others.
Then, as though from the heavens, a voice repeatedly called out his name.
