Chapter 2- Vernon Dursley
Still sobbing silently in pain, harry waited in fear for uncle Vernon's arrival. He just knew that uncle was going to kill him. But he was just so hungry. All he had wanted was a piece of bread. His mouth was dry, scaly and cracked. He was longing for as little as a glass of water, to quench his thirst. But harry knew that he was a bad boy and didn't deserve and food or drinks, until his punishment by uncle Vernon.
But that did nothing to diminish harrys terror when the front door creaked open.
Now, Vernon dursley always prided hinself on being normal, and considered as a family man. Nobody ever even suspected to the violent and abusive nature of the vile man. They only saw the wealthy business man who worked in a respectable position in the drilling company Grunnings and had a godly wife and their child. And the dursleys worked hard to ensure the freaks presence contaminating their house would never endanger this.
So, after greeting his wife, and giving his son a hearty slap on the back, he asked his wife the routine question.
"Has the freak been behaving today pet?"
Petunia replied," can you believe it Vernon, the boy actually had the nerve to ask for some food! Asked as if he truly believed he deserves it!"
"I'm going to teach the freak a good lesson tonight petunia. How dare he be so ungrateful! Demanding things all the time and taking food out of our precious dudders mouth," Vernon growled.
Getting up from the couch, he stalked done the hall, reaching the cupboard under the stairs.
Inside the cupboard, harry was listening, and had heard his aunt complaining to his uncle about his misbehaviour. He shuddered, feeling miserable.
Outside, Vernon reached out and unlocked the cupboard door. He at reached his arm in and grabbed harrys neck. He yanked harry out of the cupboard, and gave the boy a hard smack on his face. As harry lay there, sobbing, he unbuckled his thick leather belt, with a silver buckle.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson you will never forget, freak, yelled Vernon. He raised his belt high in the air, and brought it down with a crack on the boys body. Harry whimpered, but did not say a word. Again and again, his vernon brought the belt down on his nephew, until harry was screaming in pian, and covered in blood and bruises. He then threw the belt to the floor.
Smiling evilly, he began to kick harry, hitting any place he could reach. Harry curled into a ball, a vicious kick to his spine making his back arch in pain. Stopping for a moment, Vernon yelled for his son to come over.
"Come here Dudley. Let me teach you how to be a man." He said.
"Sure dad, how should I punish the freaky boy?" answered Dudley, eager to hurt his cousin.
Handing Dudley a thin but strong bamboo stick, he instructed his son to beat harry as hard as he could. Dudley was only 8, so his blows were nothing in comparison to Vernon's. However, on top of his existing injuries, harry could barley realise the change of people abusing him.
"P...p...please," muttered harry, deliriously.
"Silence, freak!" yelled Vernon.
After harry had absolutely no flesh that had not been bruised or cut by the beating, Vernon grabbed his nephew by his hair, and dragged him up the stairs, Harrys body dangling uselessly by his hand. He filled the tub with freezing cold water. When it was full, he harshly flung harrys body over his shoulder and dunked him under the water.
Harrys blood mingled with the water, turning it a dark pink colour. Once harry had passed out from lack of oxygen, he took his unconscious body downstairs, and locked him in the cupboard under the stairs.
Thank you to Aimee Turton and Sam Sam for reviewing my story. This is my first ever fan fiction, and it means so much to have the support of my readers. I would also like to thank those who followed my story or added it to their favourites.
I would like to start a poll for the next chapter.
The question is: should Dumbledore be mean and not acknowledge Harry's abuse, and work against Severus and harry to get him back at the dursleys, or should he be kind and understanding and work with them to prosecute the dursleys?
Please leave your answer in reviews. Please do remember to review, as they are what motivated me to update this story so quickly.
Lots of love
