" Come on! Get in the house you insufferable brat!"
"Uncle Vernon...please...please..."
" I said shut up and get in the house " Vernon grabbed the boy and threw him mercilessly to the asphalt outside the driveway.
"Vernon? Why are you here so early?"
" Petunia ...it's the brat who has made another scene of his usual trouble , surely it's the same abnormality your sister had , that affects the little idiot "
" Aunt ...I ..." Harry walked in and sat on the living room floor crying and trying to disguise his growing asthma attack , he just wanted to reach out his little hand to reach for his aunt petunia's skirt , but only got it rejected .
"I have to get back to work! It's only been an hour since I dropped you off at school and you're already giving trouble . When I get home in the evening I don't want to hear you complaining."
" Yes ...uncle...ver...non" Harry managed to say as another round of coughs invaded him .
" By the way , again that nurse said we had to take him to the pediatrician . Do what you want , I don't care anymore...starting tomorrow , he won't go to school anymore "
" Alright Vernon , I'll see what I do with the boy , go ...I love you See ypu later "
" I love you Pet . Discipline the boy"
Petunia just nodded as Vernon closed the door and as soon as he left she ran to Harry.

" Hey hey Harry...shh I'm here , breathe" . Petunia was scared , Harry was completely blue , his face was blue , his lips , his nails ...it was not good at all.
" HARRY ! Don't you dare go to sleep , not now . Why didn't you tell me this morning that you were feeling sick ... ?" Petunia ran with the boy to the second floor bathroom and as fast as she could , she put the boy on the toilet as she closed the door and did the only thing she knew she could do ... turned on the tub and let the extremely hot water flow and with it the steam that she hoped would help Harry to breath .
" ...sorry...aunt..pet".
" Ahhh, it's ok, it's ok Harry it's not your fault. I should have seen it coming this morning with that horrendous cough you had."
" My nails...they were blue..but..I..didn't..want...trouble..."
" Sh...breathe ! You know I can always tell Vernon that you don't go to school because you have to help me with things around the house..oh Harry "
Minutes later the color was returning to the younger boy's face and Petunia was able to open the door .
" Harry go to your room and get your ID , let's go the doctor ."
" But..monsters... like ... me don't ...deser...ve to go to the doc...tor "
" Harry Potter ...for once m stop thinking about the nonsense things your uncle says and listen to me , let's go see the pediatrician "
" Thank ...you Aunt ...Petu...nia "
Petunia just nodded and gave him a smile , she knew this wasn't a flu or anything silly like that .
