Chapter 2-
Harry felt his magic thrumming around him as he laughed, his eyes illuminating his face from the obvious power he held within him. From the three before him he could feel pure fear and it didn't disgust him, far from it in fact, he shivered, he had never felt so powerful. His entire body was vibrating with the power that his core held deep within, he granted himself a few seconds to revel in the feeling of a completeness he had never experienced before. This was Magic. His eyes fluttered down in ecstasy as he allowed the magic to spread in a sheen over his entire body, healing his wounds. His bones snapping back into place, and his muscles, sinew and skin knitted back together. The sheer power that he held was visible even to the witless muggles in front of him.
They cowered down further as he healed himself, whilst they had seem some magic, this was beyond anything they could ever comprehend, soon Harry was completely healed, the healing magic had seemed to decide on its own accord that his eyesight needed to be fixed as well, perfect eyesight could be nothing short of a bonus at this stage. He had also seemed to have grown taller and even filled out in lean muscles it was as though even his malnourishment had be countered by his power. "well if I had known I could do this I wouldn't have waited quite so long" he muttered, only slightly put out, after all he may have had to wait for this but at least all traces of abuse had been wiped away from his body.
The pathetic creatures before him were nothing but parasites, and they would pay for their mistreatment of him. Whilst he was never one for self pity, Harry couldn't help but hate them and resent them, they could have given him a home, hell even an orphanage would have been an improvement, at least there he could have simply been ignored instead of beaten, and fed at least consistently. They cowered back into the wall, whimpering, begging for him to spare them, to let them go, all with promises that they wouldn't do it again.
Harry smirked maliciously at the irony, usually that was how he had cowered, they had always enjoyed him submitting to them, he raised his hand suddenly, making all three of them flinch horribly, his smirk grew even wider as his uncle trembling voice stuttered out, attempting to defy him.
"You're not allowed to do magic outside that freak school of yours, they'll kick you out and this time it'll be permanent." Vernon's voice grew more confident as he started to believe his own drivel, "they'll lock you away if you hurt us, and you'll never see the light of day again, that old crackpot of a man told us we would to be able to control you until you reached 17 if we did all this and you would have to follow our orders, so do as I say or you'll regret you ever came here" Vernon had puffed himself up to the point he looked ready to pop his face the usual shade of violet that simply screamed 'heart attack' and his aunt had paled dramatically and tried to grab at his sleeve, but Harry wasn't really looking at that, his mind was running at a hundred miles a minute.
"What. Was. That?" He hissed, almost slipping into parseltounge as his rage reached new heights, "That manipulative son of a whore. How dare he try and do something like this, I knew he was trying to use me, but I didn't think the wretch had got you involved as well, at least not to this extent. That goat wanted me weak didn't he? He wanted me to suffer at your hands didn't he?" He directed his questions to Petunia, "what exactly did he say to you auntie? Be honest now, I wouldn't want to hurt you all more than is originally planned"
Petunia had paled further, her skin tone had turned a deathly white. She was about to respond when Vernon puffed up further and started to bellow again before his wife could even make a noise. "How dare you dismiss me like that you ignorant freak," he began to turn an extremely attractive shade of puce "I am your guardian, as disgusted as I am to admit it and the head of this house so I will not be ignored by the likes of your kind, do you understand me boy. I will not have this from you any longer"
Harry raised his eyebrow without any other outwards sign of emotions, "have you quite finished?" He asked evenly, Vernon clenched his fists together at Harry's new found superiority he looked about ready to launch himself bodily towards to boy, wanting to beat any and all defiance out of him. A small smirk lifted the corner of Harry's mouth as he continued seeming to miss his uncle's response. "Good," he raised his hand again, this time intent on causing damage, towards the Walrus' chest and hissed out "pain".
A burst of bright red light burst from his fingertips hitting the obese man, Vernon flew backwards into the kitchen table, the solid oak seemed to explode as the man flew into it snapping it into an impressive amount of kindling and firing shrapnel in all directions, the other Dursley´s screamed out as they were hit by the wooden missiles, it missed the black haired boy completely as he had raised a shield for himself the instant the man's body ha collided with the wooden structure, his reflexes combined with his new, more logical thought pattern had resulted in an impressive reaction, both of the others began to sob as they saw their husband/father go limp and still, his blood began to spread steadily around his body.
Harry began to chuckle, "now isn't that better, nice and quiet", Petunia clutched her Duddykins tightly to her resulting in a squeaking fat lump, as he began to wail, Harry frowned at the ear piercing sound "now, now Dudders pipe down and I won't have to make you, by ripping out your tounge" this had the less than desired effect of panic, his whale of a cousin began hyperventilating. Harry rubbed his temples, this was it Dudley was going to die, by his bare hands, Petunia must have seen is expressionless turn from pissed off to homicidal as she crawled in front of Dudley and started to beg.
"Please Harry, don't hurt him, he can't cope with all this, please he's an innocent child. Please don't hurt my baby, I'll tell you anything you want to know, I'll do anything you want just don't hurt my baby." Harry threw back his head and laughed, his aunt started shaking not knowing how to respond to this reaction.
"You know what this is absolutely brilliant, did you know that those are almost the exact words my mother used herself right before she was murdered?" Her eyes widened in shock, "must be difficult for you knowing you're similar enough to your sister that you'd share last words with the woman you hated, I wonder if you were similar enough so that if you had died with Vernon, both brutally murdered in front of your child, if she would have treated Dudley the same way you did me, or if she'd have raised him as her own." The woman looked down at her hands, "I know you won't wonder about it, you already know the answer to that." He stated, she still refused to raise her head look at him, "no matter, I have more pressing questions to ask of you that will actually have some impact on my future, what do you think auntie? Ready to answer my questions yet?" She shuddered still unwilling to look up at him, to look into the beautiful green eyes that had belonged to her sister, into the beautiful green eyes of the monster that she had helped to create, she merely nodded and resigned herself to her fate.
"Good girl," he grinned, " now firstly what happened on that night for you? After all, all you ever told me was that you got landed with me. I wish to know how it all started first before we start on anything else okay?" He asked with mock concern lacing his tone. This was all to easy and so much fun.
"O..on th..the night ii..it all happened" she stuttered out, Harry growled at her obvious weakness, "Dumbledore came to us, he told us that Lily was going to die that night, and that you would be given to us as you would have no other family, that James, your father would die as well and that, that convict godfather of yours would be sent to that wizard prison for betraying them. I asked him why was he telling us all of this if there was a chance to save them, I may have hated Lily but I would never wish her dead I promise you." An she looked up at him then as if trying to prove her sincerity, it was all Harry could do not to tear her apart so he simply clenched his fists together and allowed the feeling of his nails cutting into his skin to distract himself, it barely worked.
"So you didn't even try to contact her? You knew in advance and yet you didn't even try? For your own sister, who would've moved heaven on earth she thought that it was you who was in danger?" He curled his lip up her as she squirmed under his scrutiny, " and you just proved my point"
"There was no way of contacting her though, she was hidden behind wards or whatever they're called." She tried desperately, "and I was so busy looking after Dudders he needed constant care"
"I no longer care for your excuses, what's done is done and you will be punished accordingly I promise you that, but do now you will continue with my first question, what happened that day after the old goat told you I was to be kept in your care?"
"He told us that they couldn't be saved, that their destiny had been written and nothing could change it, all they could do was make sure that their sacrifice wouldn't be in vain, th.. that if I had ever cared for my sister I would do as he asked for the sake of all my sister's kind, he also promised us that for raising you in the proper way, we... we would be rewarded, he would give us a substantial sum, annually until you were accepted into that school, an if you had been raised to his standards, the sum he gave us would triple."
Harry felt his hackles rise, "an just what did he specify his standard to be?" He spat out.
"He wanted you to be completely submissive to authority figures, he wished for you to have nothing anchoring you to this world, including friends or anything that could have helped you walk away from him. He also wished for you have no drive to make a real future for yourself, as he would need a willing sacrifice" she sobbed out the last words as she saw her nephew's gaze grow colder.
"Go on," he seethed, "what else did he say to you? I can hardly believe it could get worse, but I've been wrong before"
"H...He told us that you would need to be beaten for him to be certain of submission, that we were free to treat you as we wanted, to lash out as we wanted and to allow Dudley to have no familial emotions to you as ties like that were counterproductive to his plans"
"I see and so with the promise of money, you allowed your own sister to be butchered, allowed her family to be destroyed along with her, you allowed an innocent man to be condemned to Azkaban for 12 years, and you raised no objections when a clearly, clearly depraved old coot ordered you to abuse your one and a half year old nephew is that correct dear auntie?", She nodded unable to speak. "it seems I have a few things to consider before I decide your fate, after all you living could well be a benefit to me, but then again, it could be counterproductive to my plans" he repeated Dumbledore's words with a smirk on his lips.
He waved his hand over the prone figures and suddenly stiff, harsh rope sprung out of thin air and bound them, from toes to head, he glanced at Vernon, if he bled to death Harry couldn't very well use him later, he sighed dramatically and waved his hand again, the blood that had begun to stain the floor began to seep back into the fat man, who he tied him up in the same manner as the others although he did tighten it slightly more, getting the bonds to cut into his pudgy flesh more than the others, he sighed almost happily at the muffled sequels of pain, "now be good little piggies and stay put whilst I go strategize, after all if I decide it's more beneficial to kill you all," he paused dramatically, "I really don't want to have to chase you down, I'm still in some pain after all." He giggled slightly as they began to scream, it was muffled almost completely so he didn't have to worry about others hearing, and it truly was almost musical. Just through fear of him, he had made them scream and beg, and he'd barely tried to damage them, he grinned widely just think what he could do if he really wanted to cause pain.
All he needed now was to figure out the best method to move against Dumbledore's plans, "I do believe it's time to contact the cavalry" he muttered to himself as he walked to the back door and swung it wide, he whistled sharply and Hedwig shot down from the tree where she had hidden herself, Harry had learnt the hard way last year that if he starved so would his beloved pet, she would be able to look after herself much better if she was outside and not locked away like her master, Harry stroke her breast feathers gently, "I'm going to need you to deliver a few letters okay baby, feel up to it yet or you need to eat first?" he smiled gently her, it was difficult to believe this was the same boy as a few minutes ago that had been torturing his relatives.
She hooted at him softly, and fanned out her wings as if to prove that she were more than capable of the task, "sorry girl, you know I'd never doubt you or your skills but I needed to double check, I'd never risk you unnecessarily" he laughed as Hedwig nuzzeled him under his chin with her head and clucked at him in a mother hen fashion. "Who needs family when I've got you, hey girl" she hooted again clearly in the affirmative, then nipped his ear impatiently. "Okay, okay I'll go write up the letters now then you can head out." She then ruffled her feathers and cocked her head to the right which Harry took as, 'sir, yes sir'.
He took about an hour to complete the letters, he thought that this way he could get the five of his most trusted to get over here without panicking anyone, well too much, he hoped anyway. He walked over to where Hedwig had started to snooze, perched on top of Dudley's head, digging her talons into his scalp so that rivulets of blood had trickled down his face steadily. Harry smiled at the sight, there was his faithful baby showing the miserable creatures whom was better than whom, and all without him even asking her, such a good girl.
He whistled gently, rousing the bird, "there you go baby, you know who these go to, if you can, would you try get there before nightfall, I know it's in a few hours but I have complete faith in your abilities." He laughed as she straightened her body up in pride at his words. He walked to the back door again, "fly swift my Angel, fly swift and safe" with those parting words she rocketed herself skyward.
"So that's sorted, now what should I do to entertain myself for a few hours" , he beamed towards his 'family', as they began to whimper at his smile and the darkness they could see just beyond the facade. All they could do was pray that someone would rescue them, although that didn't hold much hope to that, they had made sure year's ago that no one would ever be suspicious to the noises from their home were more than they could explain away, and they shivered in further terror as they thought about who the wretched boy had written to and what it would mean for them, but they were in no doubt that it would not be good for them. At all.
And here is the end of chapter 2, really hope you guys are enjoying it, again please give me your honest opinions, lots of cyber care, Jai xxxxx
