Chapter 2
THE DURSLEY'S HOUSE THAT SAME MORNING
THE DURSLEY'S HOUSE THAT MORNING
"Up! Get up!" came the screeching, banshee shout of his aunt while banging on his bedroom door.
"I'm up Aunt Petunia!" Harry yelled back, and started to get dress and ready for the day.
"Good! Now get downstairs and cook breakfast and you had better not burn it or else!" warned his aunt though the door. Harry had no idea why she refused to enter his room. Though Harry thought it might have something to do with the gifts Hedwig had been leaving in his room for him.
"Yes Aunt Petunia!" Harry yelled back to his aunt though the door. As Harry finished getting dressed he could hear his aunt leave and going back down stairs, probably to coo over 'her precious Duddykins'.
Harry got up and walked downstairs and into the kitchen and cooked breakfast, which was bacon and eggs. Harry put the food on the table and at the same time uncle Vernon and Dudley came into the kitchen. Despite the efforts made by the school nurses to get Dudley to loose weight, he had grown to the size of a small whale and consequently needed two chairs to sit. Even if his aunt and uncle had said that Dudley was a growing boy and he was just big boned with a lot of puppy fat like his father.
Before Harry could sit down, Aunt Petunia came though the kitchen door from the hall way and handed him a long list of chores to do.
"I should leave for the train station." Mentioned Mr. Dursley to his wife while he was getting up and ready to go.
"Why?" Harry asked, but they didn't pay attention to him as usual. So he had to wait and see if he could get any information by listening to what was said.
"Is Marge bringing Ripper with her?" Asked his aunt, not really liking a 'dirty animal' in her house that she worked so hard to keep clean every single day (note the sarcasm).
"Aunt Marge is coming?" Tried again Harry but wasn't really thinking he would get an answer.
"Yes!" Answered exasperatedly his aunt while Harry steped back slightly at the tone that his aunt used and in shock that he got an answer.
"Dudley, do you want to come with me?" Asked Vernon while looking over to his son who was sitting at the table and eating his fifth helping of breakfast.
"No." muffled Dudley even as his mouth still full of bacon.
"Dudley needs to put on his new tie so he will look smart for his Aunt Marge." cooed Petunia, starting to coo over how precious and adorable her 'sweet Duddykins' was.
"And you! You will be staying in your room unless I tell you to come out." Vernon warned him, giving Harry a stern glare that meant that if he didn't do as told then he would receive the beating of his life.
"Fine." Harry said, knowing that this was normal for how his family accepted about guests seeing him.
"And you will not say one word about that freak school of yours!" Uncle Vernon said, face going redder by the moment.
"Fine." Harry said with a nod of his head, knowing that if he said anything else then it could mean trouble for him.
"And if she says anything to you, you will watch your mouth." said Uncle Vernon as he not to gently prodded Harry with one big beefy index finger.
"And if she doesn't?" said Harry, wanting to know what sort of playing field it was.
"I will beat you if you don't." It was clear he wouldn't hesitate this time, he wasn't bluffing.
"I should be leaving for the train station now." Vernon said, turning around, giving his wife and son a smile and walked out of the house as if Harry didn't exist.
"Bye!" aunt Petunia and Dudley said to him as he left to pick up Aunt Marge.
When Uncle Vernon left, Aunt Petunia went with Dudley to see how they could best show how much her 'dudlykins' had grown since the last time Aunt Mage had seen him. Harry decided that it was best to be ignored by his family, so he decided to get a start on the chores as they had to be done before the end of the day. Harry looked at the chore list to see what he had to do.
CHORE LIST
Mow lawn
Weed garden
Clean dishes
Clean rooms (expect yours)
Paint garage doors
Clean windows
Get mail

Clean dishes

With a sigh, Harry got up went outside to start to mow the lawns. Mowing the front and back lawn took two hours. By this time uncle Vernon's car had just pulled into the drive and Aunt Marge got out of the car. When Harry saw that Aunt Marge was here he went and opened the door for her. He then took her bags up to the spare room. As he came back down the stairs to finish his chores be found the bottom of the stairs blocked by one Aunt Marge.
"You're still here." she said with an air of disgust about her.
"Yes Aunt Marge." Harry said in a flat tone and judging by the look on Aunt Marge's face, he had done something wrong already.
"Don't say yes like that." said Aunt Marge with her hands on her hip, she looked down at him as one would when looking at a dead squirrel that had been ran over by a car before saying "I see that the school did not teach you manners."
"I learned manners." Harry said, in a flat tone, hopping to be able to stay out of trouble.
"Petunia! If I was you I would write to that school and tell them to beat him harder because he is not learning anything." Aunt Marge said with a glare at Harry.
"You're right Marge." said Aunt Petunia, with a quick and short nod of her head.
Before anyone could say anything more a rat was seen running to the living room. Before anyone could see more there was a small pop and a man was standing in the living room pointing a wand at Harry. He then said a word that nobody understood and a purple light filled the room.
So, how was the first chapter?
