When there back in London Hermione shook harry awake, they all got of the train together and said goodbye before going to find there family's. Harry then makes his way way through the muggle barrier to meet his family.

As harry nears Vernon whisper yells "get a move on boy we don't want to be seen in public with a freak like you" while grabbing Harry's arm and pulling him in the direction of the car. When they arrive at the car Vernon throws harry into the back seat before driving.

When they pull into the drive way of #4 Privet Drive, Surrey. Vernon gets out the car grabbing then dragging harry inside

Harry's pov
'home sweet home' I thought sarcasticly as I was dragged into the house by my uncle Vernon
"Go make dinner now freak" Vernon Dursley said with hatred sepping into his voice
"yes uncle Vernon" I said with slight fear of what would happen if I didn't
I go I to the kitchen to start food, I'm making lasagne with homemade garlic bread. After the food was cooked I plated the lasagne and put the garlic bread on a platter I set the food on the table.
"Dinners ready" I shout for everyone to hear
"Go to your room and pretend you dont exist" aunt petunia said firmly
"yes aunt petunia" I answered before making my way upstairs

I go into my room and sit on my dusty old mattress.

*30 minutes later*

"BOY" Vernon shouted furiously
I run Down the stairs as fast as I can "yes uncle vernon" I answered with fear surrounding the words
"How dare you think you can burn our garlic bread and get away with it" he shouted voice full of fury
"I didn't realise I had uncle I'm sorry" I said in return
"are you calling me a lier freak" he screeched
"n-no u-u-uncle v-Vernon I stammed weakly
A slap to the face" Don't like to me boy" uncle vernon words full of hatred and disgust
"I-i-I'm s-s-sorry p-please s-stop" I stutters out weakly while trying to hold back my tears

Harry was picked up by the scruff of his neck and dragged to tee basement (the door is in the kitchen). He was thrown on the metal chair vernon proceeded to rip the boys clothes off leaving him in underwear. Vernon carved words like freak, worthless, unwanted, not loved and whore into Harry's back. He then rubbed salt into his back making them burn only low whimpers left Harry's lips
Vernon then used hot stones to burn harry. When he was satisfied he dragged harry by his hair to Harry's room also known as Dursley's second room and threw him on the bed.
Vernon then said "not food for a week freak" then left closing and locking the door behind him

*2 weeks later* (still third person pov)

Harry still hasn't eaten since the train ride which was 2 weeks ago. Its the nigh of july 10th

Harrys pov

"You can live through this Harry you can" I whisper to myself
With that I went to sleep
*5 hours later (5am)*
I wake up sitting up on my bed. Less then 10 seconds later there was banging on my bedroom door "wake up freak you have to make breakfast" called the shrill voice of aunt petunia
So I got off my bed and make my way downstairs to star breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and fruit
An hour later breakfast was ready and on the table "breakfast" I shout to let everyone know breakfast is ready. I then got on with my long list of chores. At half past 4 I started dinner it was ready by six, so I called "dinner" and went to my room.

An hour later veron burst through the door angrier then ever. He has a leather belt. "shirt of now boy" was all he said, harry happily conplide so that he wouldn't get in more trouble. Vernon started slashing harry after 10 slashes he stops and says "did you think you could burn out dinner and it be unnoticed" he carries on whipping about 40 slashes later he pulls a knife from his pocket and reopens the carvings from 2 weeks prior. Then he kicks and punches harry in the stomach and chest. "I think you need a worse punishment then normal"
Was all he said before going towards the door stopping at the door saying "don't move"

Harry's pov

I am in so much pain my back hurts so does my chest, but I don't make a noice that is what makes it worse

5 minutes later Vernon returns carrying something I can't see what though. He picks me up and chucks me on the bed lying me on my back it burns. All of a sudden I feel a hot rock or something burn into my skin he proceeds to burn me with a lighter

He gets up and says "you deserve this"
And leaves

I can feel my breath become severely uneven more then it's ever been I'm slipping away. I was prepared to say good bye I just wish I could of said bye to sirius. A few seconds later an excruciating searing pain went through my body. Its like I'm burning alive from the inside

'I don't think I'm going to survive' is all I could think bout before passing out
