Chapter Two
Later after the Dursley family ate, while Harry sat in his cubby. Harry calmed down and fell into a soft sleep, thinking "I'm worthless, and not fit to have a family. Why do I always mess things up?"
Sometime later as the light landed on Harry's face startling him awake; Vernon grabbed a little wrist and with a quick jerk a pop and crack. Harry's wrist was broke again. Vernon dragged young Harry to the shed at the back of the lawn; where Harry was forced to earn his keep. As Vernon ravaged Harry's little body with his larger one. Hours later when Vernon was done, he beat Harry to within an inch of death, he left.
Leaving Harry alone in the shed to gain back some control and head back to his cubby. As Harry headed back to his cubby he thought 'Nothing changes here, I must be better, I have to be better!'
Sadly the next couple of days were the same as the previous one, and all Harry could do was cry.
… …
Two weeks later
After waking Harry wished himself a happy 4th birthday. The only thing that Harry wanted for his birthday was to see his mum and da again, and then all would be alright.
"Harry, wake up! Presents!" Dudley screamed running down the stairs.
"I'm coming." Harry said hoping that maybe there might be one in the pile for him.
Before Harry could make it into the kitchen to help with breakfast, Aunt Per came into the living room and grabbed Harry pulling him into the downstairs washroom.
"Oh no! I didn't do anything bad; I didn't do anything bad…" Harry started crying, hoping the one person in the house that cared for him hadn't just realized that Harry was as Uncle Vernon put it worthless and a freak.
As Petunia lead Harry into the washroom she could heal him shudder. So as the door to the washroom closed Petunia wrapped her arms around Harry.
"Happy Birthday Baby," Petunia whispered in Harry's ear as tears flooded out of the little boy's eyes. Petunia could hear Harry murmuring something about 'bad'. "Oh, Baby Boy, you're not bad. Now you need to calm down, we don't want to be sick on your birthday do we? Ok, I need your help in the kitchen, after that you can go to your cubby. I'll make sure your chores are done; as Uncle Vernon is at Marge's house for the next couple days. Ok let's go baby." Petunia said giving Harry little kisses all over his face once she cleaned it after his tears stopped.
"You need meee, ok," croaked a hoarse Harry.
"Today's my birthday," whispered Harry to himself, "I have no chores today, and I can be left alone to do what I want to. Without any yelling. Uncle Vernon is at Aunt Marge's, today, so not beatings or pulls either. This is the best day ever!" Harry talked to himself as he finished making breakfast.
Mum Harry's talking to himself again." Dudley yelled into the living room.
"Duddles leave Harry alone today ok." Replied Aunt Petunia as she walked into the dining room to set the table for breakfast.
As Harry brought the food into the dining room he noticed that Aunt Petunia had set three place settings at the table. Thinking 'Aunt Petunia must have forgotten that Uncle Vernon an't here tody, I'll put it back.'
So as Harry put the place setting back and left the room. Aunt Petunia came right behind Harry and replaced the place setting at the table so that she could fill the plate. Once the plate was nicely filled Aunt Petunia called the boys in to eat.
"Dudley, Harry it's time for breakfast!"
As the two bays came in to the dining room Harry went to his normal set in the corner away from the table until "the family " had finished that way he could possibly get some for breakfast too. Yet when Harry sat down Aunt Petunia came over to Harry and picked him up and moved him to the extra place setting at the table. After saying a short prayer the two children dug in to the food. When breakfast was done and the table cleared, Harry was left to figure out what he wanted to do for the rest of the day.
