A/N: Written for the Globetrotter Drabble Competition II, One Million Words Added Competition, A Bit of Motivation Competition, and the If You Dare Continued challenge.
Prompt: Country 19, Alert Nunavut Canada - Write about the summer months. A School Bus. Between 100 and 500 words.
Horrible Summer Holidays
As the loud honking of a school bus came to his ears Harry curled up into a tight ball and closed his eyes as he did his best to push the world outside of his cupboard away. The heat from the summer months slowly entered his cupboard and wrapped around him like a cruel blanket which was made worse by Dudley's excited yells.
"It is here! The bus is finally here!" Harry heard Dudley cry out excited only for the sound of his aunt bursting out into tears to come to his ears.
For once in his short life Harry agreed with Petunia that the summer months were horrible but each of them hated the summer months for totally different reasons. For both Petunia and Harry the summer months brought separation but for Harry it was the separation of his safe haven of the school library while for Petunia it was four weeks when her precious Dudley went off to summer camp with his friends. For Harry through it brought another feeling along with the summer months, lots of pain. With Dudley gone and Petunia out of the house enjoying the garden parties Vernon happily took advantage of their time alone.
'I hate the summer holidays' Harry thought as he gulped in fear as the sound of the front door slamming shut came to his ears signalling the departure of Dudley and the beginning of the next few months of extra pain.
Harry hated the summer months with a passion.
