72. Christmas with the Dursleys

Dudley could hardly wait. Again and again he ran around the room like a frightened chicken. Much to the annoyance of his flatmates.
"Hey, Dursley, come on down here. Time does not go by the rum race faster. "
"I realize too, Thomson, but I can not do anything."
Next Duddey made his rounds and strained the nerves of the other guys.
But what should he do? He had not seen his parents since August. Although he kept talking to them over and over again, he had not yet been allowed a visit. He had not behaved well enough for that.
And now he was only allowed to meet her because it was Christmas.

When his cousin arrived that dark guy that summer, he thought it was a joke. Sure, the equipment had failed and he did not get the food he usually ate. But he thought that these spells would last only a few hours.
but the days passed and suddenly there was the guy from the youth home in front of the door. All roaring from his father and begging from his mother did not help. They only had the result that once again the devices gave up the ghost.
And before he knew it, he had landed here. in a home for hard-to-educate teens who were unfit for their gifted family members.
Suddenly it was over with the single room. No loitering with friends. No computer or other technical gadgets. and no unhealthy food anymore.
It was not until then that Dudley realized that Snape had meant his threats more than seriously.

Meanwhile, his daily routine was strictly regulated. There was no long sleep. Not even on the weekends. You had to earn that privilege.
The lessons here were much stricter than those at his old school. There were also lessons in which one was supervised. At the time, one could only do his homework or study for the school. The kitchen was also locked at the time.
For the "normal" lessons came then additional hours, in which the young people learned something about the magical world.
The free time was strictly regulated. There was no such thing as boxing or strength training. at least not for the newcomers. That would only increase the willingness to use violence, so the carers. However, daily sports was a must. For him in the beginning hell. Daily running, swimming or cycling.
His diet has also been changed.
tobias, one of his roommates, said he feels like being in a fat camp. It was the same with Dudley, especially since he had already lost five kilos.
But that was urgently needed, as the investigation had shown on his first day. his values ​​were apparently the purest scary book.
Most peculiar was that most of the adolescents suffered from obesity here.

The first few weeks he had been here, he had spent yelling at his supervisors, bucking and cursing his cousin and his husband. he had called them lousy fags and meant they should suck each other's cock and leave him alone.
This behavior had given him additional therapy hours, social hours and kitchen service. He also had cat-like nightmares almost every day.
one of his caretakers, a so-called squib, had then told him why he had those dreams.
And what had he done? instead of apologizing to the animals and thinking about what he had done, he cursed them as scumbags, who deserved nothing better than death anyway. Harry was also cursed diligently. But that turned out to be the worst of his many mistakes.
he got into trouble with almost every one of the caregivers and also some older "inmates", as he called them then. Then it hailed detention and he was handed a book he had to read.
The book was about a war that had raged in the wizarding world years ago. In it he also learned the story of Harry Potter, the boy-who-lives.
In retrospect, Dudley would consider that as his turning point.
In conversations with his reference, as they called the reference advisers, he also learned how Harry was at the moment.

Leo, his reference, told him that he had been born Squib. He was rejected by his own family, only his sister stopped him. He had suffered so much from the condition that he let out his anger at others and then came to this home himself.
now he had a wonderful job. And thanks to Harry and his husband, he also got the chance for magic. However, he declined the offer, Leo felt well and for that he needed no magic. Two other supervisors accepted the offer. especially because they were the last in their bloodline. Right now they were studying at Hogwarts. Ironically, her teacher was the one who had dudley conjured a pigtail back then.
