Worthless the Forgotten one (Harry Potter Book 1)

The Letters from Nowhere

As we arrived back to Privet Drive, Petunia led both Harry and Dudley through the door.

"It's all right, sweethearts. We'll get you both out of these cold clothes." 'Aunt' Petunia said to them.

Once Petunia, Harry and Dudley were gone Vernon grabbed a large chunk of my hair and slammed me into the wall and I felt pain radiating from my already injured back as I was literally terrified that Vernon was going to kill me.

"Ahh!" I couldn't help but let out a gasp from the shocking pain in my back.

"What happened!?" Vernon demanded punching me in the chest and I cringed as I swore I felt a rib break from that one blow on my already damaged and fragile ribs.

"I swear, I don't know!" I shouted lying. It was my best bet to not know about my magic, or they would do a lot worse with what I'm going to receive anyways.

"Argh!" Vernon growled as he shoved me roughly.

"One minute the glass was there, and then it was gone. It was like magic!" I shouted and Vernon pulled me by my hair and then threw me in the cupboard and attached a collar tightly making me hiss from the pain as he slammed the door shut and locked it.

"There's no such thing as magic, dog!" Vernon snapped and with that he left me in darkness. I was already in darkness but I felt my wounds already reopened as I felt my broken rib being hard to breathe with. I knew I was going to be here weeks and with that, I tried to get some sleep to find comfort from the pain.

...

After two and a half weeks I have finally managed to get out of the cupboard, I haven't been fed or watered since, and I wondered how I'm surviving the abuse. I was out of energy again knowing I haven't had any nourishment in so long, I'm surprised my body hasn't given up just yet.

But anyways as I hear owls, I was bruised as I was limping and I knew I had a black eye as I was told to get the mail and when I got to the door, I bent down but flinched from the immense pain from that bit of movement, as I gathered the letters.

I shuffled through them, knowing a letter was for Harry from Hogwarts but as I looked to the other letter, it was mine as I scrolled my hand over the thick parchment, and also the letters.

"Worthless
Cupboard under the Stairs
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey..."

I was confused. How do they know I'm in a cupboard? Do they know about my abuse, if so, why hasn't anyone come to take me out of here? I didn't know as I shook my head and made my way into the kitchen and handed Vernon his letters, with Harry's as I went to open mine.

"Oh, Marge's ill. Ate a funny whelk." Vernon started talking.

As I was about to open mine..."Uncle! Look! Worthless has a letter!" Harry shouted and snatched the letter from my hands and passed Vernon his as well.

"Hey, give it back! It's mine!" I demanded with anger. How dare they take my mail? It's a federal offence, isn't it? But then again, they probably would get away with it.

"Yours? Who'd be writing to you?" Vernon asked and I winced at that, no one would except Hogwarts due to I don't have a single friend in the world, except Sirius and Remus and I wondered why they never wrote me? But I felt Harry's smirk shot my way.

"No one due to she's a dog." Harry states and the Dursley's chuckled and I blushed with embarrassment. Yes, worthless the dog, the worthless brat no one cared for, that's me.

Vernon turned the letter over in his hands and saw the Hogwarts logo. The Dursleys looked at me specifically in horror. They knew now that I have magic. And I knew I'm gonna be in so much trouble.

All I could do was gulp.

.......

Day after day, owls kept delivering letters after letters, and my uncle was trying ro destroy them and try and keep them away from me.

He ripped them up, then I was in the cupboard messing around with Knight on a horse as I heard the drill, I knew what Vernon was doing and so I peeked outside to look, well, hear in my case as I knew he was drilling the letter box close.

"No more mail through this letter box." Vernon growled to that, I shook my head knowing they won't quit until Harry's at Hogwarts, their 'saviour' I scoffed mentally, he wasn't no saviour, Voldemort tried to kill me that night. Voldemort knew that as well, I knew when I entered the magic world, to do so with caution because not everyone would be my friend for the right reason.

Then with that I went back into the cupboard so Vernon couldn't see me.

Then it happened again when Vernon was going to work, owls were everywhere on his car, on the roof, literally everywhere.

"Have a lovely day at the office, dear." Petunia said, kissing his cheek. Then she saw the owls on Vernon's car.

"Shoo! Go on." Vernon said trying to get the owls to fly off, but they wouldn't budge.

Petunia touched his arm and looked down as the letters were there, addressed to Harry and Worthless.

Later on, Vernon was by the fire in the living room, chucking the letters into the fire place and my ears twitched hearing this as the fire crackled. Anger burned within me as Vernon smirked sarcastically at me as he stoked the fire, he knew I was helpless in this case in getting my letter.

I absolutely hated Vernon Dursley with a burning desire and one day, just one day I will have my revenge.

.....

Soon it came to Sunday and I was in a dog collar that was chained. I was doing the usual handing out biscuits to the family.

"Fine day, Sunday; in my opinion, best day of the week. Why is that, Dudley?" Vernon said and asked as Harry, Dudley and Petunia ate biscuits and I gritted my teeth hearing the question, he knew damn well why.

Dudley dumbly shrugged with Harry.

"Because there's no post on Sundays?" I said through gritted teeth with anger.

"Right you are, dog. No post on Sunday. Ha! No blasted letters today! No, sir! Not one single bloody letter! Not one! No sir, not one blasted, miserable..." Vernon rambled when he was cut off when a letter flew out of the fireplace and hit him in the face.

I stifled a chuckle at my 'uncle's' face as more letters came pouring out of the fire place as I looked stunned. Where were all these coming from?

"Uh! Ahh! Make it stop. Please make it, make it stop! Please!" Dudley and Harry screamed with panic as I grinned.

"Stop it! Stop it! Argh!" Vernon said and shouted.

"Please! Uh-huhh!" Harry and Dudley whimpered.

"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahhhh!" Petunia screamed as I looked with a smirk. Now this was entertainment.

"Mummy, what's happening? Please tell me what's happening? Get away from it!" Dudley whimpered into Petunia as Harry hid. Cowards.

I though took my chance to get a letter as I jumped up and caught a letter before trying to escape. "Ahh! Give me that! Give me that letter!" Vernon shouted as I ran when Vernon grabbed me around my waist as I made it to the hallway.

"Get off!" I screamed as I fought against his hold. I wanted to get my letter!

"Ahh! Oh!" Petunia screamed.

"They're some of my letters! Let go of me!" I shouted with anger. I struggled to get away from Vernon, but it was no use. He was just too strong.

"That's it! We're going away! Far away! Where they can't find us!" Vernon shouted to us.

"Daddy's gone mad, hasn't he?" Dudley asked and Harry looked with a glare to me.

All I could think to that statement of Dudley's as I struggled, was, daddy went around the bend years ago just like the Potters did. And with that I knew we weren't coming back to Privet Drive for a while.
