Karma's a Bitch [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 4

Harry woke up once again in the basement, except this time it was his birthday. This meant he would be getting an even worse beating. He went and prepared breakfast, stealing a little for himself, as it was his birthday. He started on his chores after breakfast. He cleaned up the table and did the dishes, before going outside to tend to the garden. He always did the garden first because it wasn't as hot in the morning as it was later on in the day.

He weeded the garden before watering the flowers. He then mowed the lawn, making sure to avoid the flowers. Once that was done, he was about to go inside when he heard something talking. He searched for the voice, and found it was the loudest in Petunia's flowers. Harry crouched down and found a black snake.

"Stupid human, disturbing my peace." "

I'm sorry, Ijust heard a voice and tried to find what was speaking," Harry told the snake.

"I apologize speaker, I did not realise you could speak to me."

"It is fine, what is your name?" Harry asked the snake.

"I do not have a name, feel free to give me one."

"I think I will name you Abyss" Harry told the snake.

"That is a nice name, I shall accept it."

"Would you like to accompany me for the rest of my summer and Hogwarts?" Harry asked the snake.

"I would be delighted."

With that, Harry and Abyss, who was curled around Harry's arm, headed inside. Harry began the rest of his chores and finally started on dinner. After dinner, harry rushed to his room, setting Abyss on his cot before running to the basement. His uncle met him there shortly. His uncle was so drunk he could barely even see. His uncle managed to get a few good punches in before he passed out. Harry knew his uncle would be confused if he woke up in the basement. Harry wordless casted Wingardium Leviosa, and floated him into his bed. Harry then made his way into the cupboard where he read over his books he purchased over the last Hogsmeade trip. He had purchased an advanced potions book, hoping it would help him over the summer. The book was quite interesting and had multiple techniques on each potion. It also had more detailed step by step instructions. He stopped reading around 11:45. Harry decided to just stay awake, as he could wish himself a happy birthday right at 12:00.

Once it was 12:00, Harry's body was enveloped in pain. Harry passed out soon after the pain had stopped.
