Harry woke up as he was thrown into his cupboard, his head sharply smacked into the bare concrete wall, sending bits of debris to fall back down with him. He whimpered as he crawled into the corner of the cupboard as fast as he could. He could barely look into the blank, cold eyes of the person who had thrown him in "I'm... I'm sorry aunt petunia, i-i just wanted to play.."
Aunt Patunia stared at the tiny boy in his oversized clothes, she stared deeply into the scared, innocent eyes of her nephew who was avoiding her gaze. Her eyes traveled down to his bare stomach where the blood from his back had smudged on. She felt her stomach clench as she slowly reached into the cupboard. Harry let out a tiny squeal when he felt her hand on his shoulder. He clenched his eyes shut tightly as he felt her turn him around so his back was facing her. She kept a grip on Harry's shoulder for a while. Just staring at the gashes that her husband had finished making minutes ago. She knew she couldn't stay in here long, she was just meant to throw him in and lock the door, Vernon even told her to throw in a punch if she wanted. God she didn't. He was a baby for Christs sake. Her eyes watered as she gave a light squeeze to her nephews shoulder. He cowered under her hold. Almost crumbling and that broke her. But there was nothing she could do, she couldn't protect her sisters child, she had tried in the early days of his arrival but everytime she intervened she would get a beating so brutal from vernon that it left her unable to leave her bed for days. She had taught herself not to care over the years, she taught herself how to block it all out and not to love the child that had been left in her care. If she showed so much as a ounce of pity for Harry vernon would threaten to hurt their own child. She couldn't let that happen. And so with a silent sniff and a quick wipe of her eyes to remove the tears she put her stern voice on. "Now don't go making any noice tonight do you hear me?" She said calmly. She heard baby Harry as he whispered his sorrys, she heard the break in his voice as the silent tears ran down his face. Instead of comforting the small boy she removed her had from his shoulder rather suddenly and straightened up, before resuming her blank stare and cold voice as she muttered "good. Now shut up and sleep freak." loudly enough for vernon to hear from the livingroom. That should satisfy him she thought as she shut the door to the cupboard door silently.
