3rd person pov:

A drunk and angry Vernon lifted his arm, beer bottle in hand, then swung down and hit someone's head. The bottle had shattered everywhere. Blood. All Harry could taste was the blood dripping from his head into his mouth.

The thick red blood in his mouth tasted oddly sweet, but his head fucking hurt like hell. "Are you even fucking listening boy!? I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO DUDLEY!" Vernon yelled out. 'Ah yes, the one who got me into this mess. What did he frame me for this time?' Harry thought as his uncle kept screaming at him in full anger.

"Y0U HIT MY SON YOU FREAK!" Petunia yelled historically. 'I did what now? Oh forget it, I'll just say I did it and get a quick beating then I can leave and go to my room.' "Okay I hit him geez, I'm sorry. There happy?" Harry admitted with sass in his tone.

What happend next was not what he had expected, instead of being thrown to the floor and getting beaten, oh no, instead, he was dragged over to the kitchen by his uncle, glasses thrown off his face from the force, and was thrown into the counter his back hitting up against it.

Before he could process what had happened, his uncle got a kitchen knife and sliced Harry's right eye causing him cry out in pain. That was it. That was the Last. Fucking. Straw.

Before his uncle could do anything else, Harry kicked him in the stomach, making him stumble backwards, then swirled around his uncle, grabbed his hand that held the knife and forced it into his uncles chest.

There was a loud, blood curdling scream from his aunt while his cousin stood there shocked with tears in his eyes. He threw the limp body onto the floor, the bloodied knife now in his hand.

His cousin ran up the stairs while his aunt rushed towards the door. 'Very smart Aunt Petunia, but not smart enough.' Harry willed the door to lock with magic before his aunt could reach it, then made his way towards her.

Harry's pov:

"Oh! Hello aunt Petunia, unfortunately your time has come to an end. Sad really, I kinda liked you." I said in a childish voice. "Any last words before I kill your bitch ass?" I asked aggressively, pushing her up against the door and putting the knife up to her neck ready to slice it.

"Please..." I heard her whimper, "I'm sorry! Please don't do this!" It's funny really, how she sounded so scared and weak, I had to tell myself not to burst out laughing. I did laugh a little though, how could you not?

"You? Sorry? HAH! Oh please, don't make me laugh. Do you really think I'll let you live? After everything you've done to me? Fuck no. Goodnight." I laughed as I sliced her neck, blood spraying everywhere.

I have to admit, it was pretty satisfying seeing her limp body on the floor, and the blood splattered on myself. "Say hi to my mum for me will you? Ask her if she's proud of me."

I chuckled at the thought of my mums face if she were alive and here, she would look so traumatised and scared. I laughed at the thought then went to look for my precious, soon to be dead, cousin.

I walked up the stairs hearing a few steps creak as I stood on them. "Oh, dudley~" I sang in a sing-song voice as I opened his door. Silent. Or atleast I thought until I heard a small whimper from the closet next to me.

"Oh I get it, you wanna play hide and seek! Don't you Dudley? Well okay then! But if I find you I'm going to kill you while I laugh at your corpse got it?" I laughed insanely at the thought of his blood everywhere and lifeless body on the floor.

"Ready or not, here I come!" I said playfully. I walked towards the closet door and opened it ever so slowly. "Found you Dudley~"

——————————

Dead. They're all dead. I was free. I was finally fucking free. Where to go? I don't know, I'll figure that out at Hogwarts. Now to make sure they don't find out. I trust nobody but one professor there to tell them what I've done, and I hope I never will. Just one more week till I go back

Just. One. More. Week

24/8/2023 || A/N: Sooooo.....Hi. If you're reading this, I will be continuing this story so don't worry. I'm just re-reading everything and correcting spelling/grammar mistakes before I continue chapter five. There might be a few changes in the story because when I read this my facial expression was full of disbelief at how cringe this is. The changes hopefully won't be too much different from the original writing that is there.
