It was the day before Harry went back to school, and Vernon and Petunia were all over him with chores. At the beginning of the day, Petunia made Harry make breakfast. When he was finished, Vernon held Harry's hand on the hot burner.
That was one of the first act of abuse that Vernon had ever done to Harry. The first time it happened, he was 4 years old and had dropped a plate that was slippery with bacon grease on the floor. As punishment, he got his hand burned. Harry had first degree burns on his hand after Vernon let go of him.
Harry wondered why Vernon had done that. Did he do something wrong? Was breakfast cooked the wrong way? He had always cooked it like that before...
All Harry knew was that his hand hurt really bad, and that he couldn't do anything with it. How would he do his school work, or hold his wand?
What would the people at school say? Would they laugh at him? Would they just stare at him, more than they had last year? What about Draco, and his friends? Would they still want to be his friend?
Harry didn't want to lose them. They were all he had... He couldn't lose them!
But, Harry didn't know that that was just the beginning of his abuse that day...
