Harry usually spends a boring abusive summer with his relatives , but this time they were very cruel . They didn't give him any food for weeks maybe just a piece of a cucumber cause Dudley is on a diet and seeing Harry eats less than him would make him feel better .

The problem isn't just about the food , Harry kept his birthday cake and he would take a piece if he felt very hungry ( he hid it under his bed ) but sometimes you need to eat something different ! Enough cake ! Enough sweets ! .

This option wasn't given to Harry , He had to do his chores even after being starved and locked for weeks . He had a list and punishments too :

1.prepare the breakfast quickly and not burnt (if burnt then there's more chores + locking him ).
2.clean all the rooms very good except for his room cause it doesn't matter, this is a waste of time  ( if not then he will clean them again and Dudley would punch him).
3.clean Vernon's car very good.
4.clean the garden.
5.prepare the launch quickly and not burnt.
6.do the laundry.
7.prepare the dinner quickly and not burnt.

He will be locked up and maybe beaten up by Dudley if he hadn't finished all of that or made a mistake . Once he was doing his chores as usual and it was the end of the day he felt exhausted, his body was aching especially his back .

He wanted to eat and go to bed , he was only allowed to eat a piece of bread . He went to eat that piece before going to sleep but unfortunately Dudley was up , he always wants Harry to suffer .

He felt great doing it. So he took a cup and poured A drink in it , he looked at Harry " Hey freak , i don't think that you have finished all your chores yet" .

Harry looked at him in disgust and exhaustion " leave me alone , big D" , Dudley raised his eyebrows then he poured the Drink on the carpet and broke the cup. Harry was shocked , he couldn't clean anymore he was very exhausted and pain was all over his body .

Then Dudley said " clean this , loser" . Harry looked at him with anger and said " NO ! YOU ARE GOING TO CLEAN THIS RIGHT NOW !!" . Then Vernon and petunia got out of their room and went down stairs rushing to Dudley .

Dudley said " mom he broke the cup and ruined the carpet and he doesn't even want to clean it !" . Harry yelled " HE DID THAT NOT ME ! HE MUST CLEAN IT !" .

Vernon dragged Harry by his arm clinching it in his meaty hand and threw him to the carpet " listen you piece of rubbish , i will give you another chance to clean the carpet if not then your punishment will be unbearable " .

He was feeling extremely angry as if he would kill himself ,he felt like his chest is on fire . then he took the heavy carpet to the bathroom it and cleaned all the shattered glass and mopped the floor .

He went back to the bathroom and turned on the shower then placed the carpet under the falling water in the bathtub . Then he started to put all the detergents he found , he took a brush and started to clean the carpet .

His arms , shoulders and back were aching very bad . His eyes became red and hurting him . He must brush the carpet hard to get the Drink out of it but he couldn't , he found himself dizzy and exhausted all he thinks about is to sleep . He couldn't hold on anymore ... he felt asleep on the wet carpet in the bathtub .. he actually slept deeply with his glasses on in the wet bathtub.

Next day Vernon woke up to go to work , he entered the bathroom and washed his face then he found Harry sleeping very deeply on the carpet holding the brush in the bathtub . He yelled "BOY ! ....WAKE UP YOU FREAK ...WASTE OF SPACE" but Harry was still sleeping  .

He left him no choice , Vernon turned on the shower ( cold water) and showered Harry with it " WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE !! GET OUT!" . Harry woke up shocked , coughing and breathing heavily as he felt a very cold water on his body , he forgot that he had slept in the bathtub all night .

He was shivering then he felt Vernon giant hand going toward his head , he dragged him by hair out of the bathtub . That was very painful actually then he kicked him out of the bathroom .

Harry fell to the floor all his body is aching worse than ever , his eyes were puffy and red . He went to his room to change his wet pajamas , he found Hedwig back with new letters .

He opened the first letter from Hermione she wrote that she couldn't reply recently cause she was traveling to Greece with her Parents she loved the civilization of it then she came back to get ready for the quidditch world  cup.

Harry smiled while reading the letter , he felt that she is happy that made him feel happy as well . The 2nd letter was from Ron he was telling him to get ready cause his father will get him to go to the quidditch world cup with them. He was very happy that they would take him with them and that they didn't forget about him all summer.
