The door slammed at 5:30 sharp, just as it did every day when Vernon returned home from work. From the sharp sound of the door slamming into its frame, Harry deducted that his Uncle had not had a good day. Which meant Harry was going to be punished. Great.
Sure enough, His uncle, whom could be heard throughout the whole house, bellowed Harry's least favorite nickname, "Boy!"
Harry knew if he kept his uncle waiting the beating would be worse so, as quick as he could, he unlocked his bedroom door and flew down the steps, stopping at the bottom just as he had been instructed to do. "Yes Sir?"
Vernon turned purple with rage at the sound of his voice. Oh. So it's going to be one of those kinds of punishments. "Boy!" Vernon hissed, taking two steps closer, "What have I told you about addressing me? Freaks like you do not address normal people like me unless I command you too!" Harry nods, lowering his eyes to his shoes. Vernon, who was slowly turning red and swelling with anger, hissed as he stepped closer to Harry, his hands outstretched as if he was going for Harrys throat.
Harry, rooted to the spot, in fear and resignation, could do nothing as his Uncle Vernon wrapped his right hand around his throat, punching Harry in the face with his left while simultaneously kicking him. Vernon drops Harry, and leaves. Was he done? No way, Vernon was way to angry when he had come in, there was no way he was just going to leave after a few hits and kicks. Sure enough, Vernon came back into the room, but this time, he was holding something. Was that a bat? Before Harry could protest, Vernon reared the bat back and hit him repeatedly with it, his foot rearing back to kick him at the same time. This was torture, Vernon had never used objects to beat Harry with, sure he used his feet occasionally... and carved things into Harry's skin with his hunting knife (that he never uses outside of Carving Harry) okay so he has used objects before, but he's never used a bat, or... Jesus Christ is that an iron? Sure enough, Vernon out then at down only to pick the iron up and began beating him with it. Harry jerked, causing Vernon to hit his face. The last blurry thing Harry saw before passing out was Vernon's, less purple, face hovering above him, a satisfied sneer on his face.
