Bow Down ( Tomarry)

PART 1

" Duds , she's getting to you too. We need to unchain uncle and make a plan " I tell my brother as he wraps my   burnt hand with a bandage from that morning .

" Tonight Harry we can not wait any longer if he hurts you he wont be able to live with himself . " Dudley says and we quickly go upstairs before petunia comes back from her girls night out.

" memoria sarcio " I say as I put my hand on my uncles forehead. He jolts up and looks at us .

" I'm so sorry Harry " he says hugging me .

" I know  it was not you . We need a plan . "

" I have been stuck in my head for years ,of course I have a plan , we will pretend nothing happened . Trust me we will be out of here by the end of the week. Now run along she will be here soon ."

Dudley and I go to our rooms or in my case the closet . When i get out of this place I'm never staying in the closet physically or metaphorically.

I go to sleep with hope of a proper life .

The next day , my aunt wakes me up to make breakfast . My uncle goes to work and I  do the chores , of  course I use a little magic . I'm not a wandless magic prodigy for nothing .

Three days later my uncle tells us his plan . Now we act .

It was Thursday . Around the  time I knew my uncle would be getting home . I drop a cup as I do the dishes . The sound of it makes my aunt come to me screaming and I slowly walk towards the front door as she approaches me screeching . She slaps me and then punches me . I open the door just as my uncles car parks .

" Ahhh. Please aunt Petunia don't hit me again I'm so sorry please don't take my food away again tonight it's been a week ." I scream running to the lawn. All the neighbors are run out  and looking at me with sad eyes some are angrily looking at my aunt .

" Harry,  what's wrong what happened ?" My uncle runs to my side and tries to calm me .

" I'm sorry I broke your cup aunt Petunia, it was a mistake please don't  make me sleep in the closet with the rats . "

" what do you mean you sleep in the closet harry , you have your own room . "

" at night when everyone is asleep aunt Petunia sneaks into my room and takes me to the closet . So.. many spiders " I say shivering in fear .

" It's true dad , she said if I told you she will kill Harry " Dudley says coming from the house hugging me .

" Lies , you have no proof they are just lying children . Vernon you know how naughty Harry is ." Aunt Petunia says with a panicked voice. 

" I've been working doubles because you said we needed more money since we have two kids . Only to find out you are abusing them . I am very disappointed in you Petunia.  " my uncle says and just in time a police car comes .

" we got a call about child abuse. " the officer says .

" She is the child abuser . " my uncle says and turns us around shielding us from her arrest. 

" We will of course need you to follow us to the station and the abused will need to make a statement and evidence will need to be collected .  " The officer says looking at me with sympathy . My uncle nods and ushers us to the car.

" Good job Harry but why did you let her hit you before you ran out . " my uncle says as we follow the police car .

" We need it to be as real as possible .  " I say and they nod .

" Harry you are still young please don't try to sacrifice your well being for us . I can't have my princess hurt now can I?" I nod smiling

When we get to the station my uncle takes two blankets from the trunk and wraps one around me and picks me up he then gives Dudley one and he wraps it around himself . We walk into the station and the cop at the reception leads us to the officers that arrested Petunia. 

" Sir would you please tell us what your relationship with the accused and the victim is ."

" Petunia was my high school sweetheart , she had a little sister Lily, who got accepted at a private school because of her intelligence.  Petunia was always jealous of Lily but I never thought she would take it out on Harry . You see officer Harry came to live with us after his parents died in an accident his mother Lily and his father James Potter , were my in-laws . I knew that Petunia was not fond of Harry but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought she would hurt him , well that was until about a week ago . I noticed that my son Dudley was running around looking for something.  I followed him back to his room and watched as he wrapped Harry's burnt hand in a bandage , when I asked them what happened they wouldn't tell me . I casually asked my wife and she frantically asked what the children told me, she became deranged and paranoid  . It was then that I concluded that I would take custody of Harry and Dudley as it seemed my wife was not well or was on drugs . So I would help get her in an institution that would help her , I'm afraid with todays events for my childrens safety I will be filing for divorce . " my uncle says sadly .

" Harry , do you mind telling us what has been happening whilst living with your aunt. " the officer says . I take Dudley's hand in fear .

" It's ok Harry they can help." Dudley says .

" Promise ?" I say with teary eyes and a pout.

" Promise. " he says hugging me . And I nod

" I can only remember from when I was 7 or 8 . Aunt Petunia would wake me up at night and take me to the closet , she said trash slept in trash places . She would come back early in the morning and tell me to make breakfast before uncle came downstairs.  If I burn anything she would burn my fingers , last week I  was so hungry I ate an apple she put my hand in boiling water . She would go out when uncle was at work , come back and sleep as I make dinner .when she is not there Dudley helps  because when she is there she throws things at him .only in the weekends did she treat me alright . My uncle would take me and Dudley out  most of the time .She sometimes put something in uncles food so that he doesn't wake up at night when she hits me . She was going to kill me today I know it she was so angry her eyes looked so scary ." I say through my sobs.

" Ow Harry I'm so sorry I was never there . " my Uncle says as he hugs and comforts me .

" warm milk helps him calm down . " my uncle says and the officer nods before disappearing. 

" you did good Harry.  I'm so proud of you . " my uncle whispers to me . The officer comes back with warm milk I slowly drink it as my uncle is asked more questions . Dudley gives them his phone cause he always took pictures of my scars now I know why .

" You would have to stay in town until the trial . We do not have a lot of cases and cases involveing monors are moved up so in two months max you will be called to the trial of Petunia Dursley soon Evans . " The officer says and we leave.

It was actually a month later when aunt Petunia was sentenced to 20 years without parole at a mental institution since her lawyer argued that she was mentally unfit . Since she was asking for a white bearded wizard .
