Alright, what was Uncle Vernon blathering on about now?
"Get out of that cupboard, you bloody idiot. What the hell is wrong with you? It's not like you even fit in there any more..."
Alright, so it was summer vacation, and he was back at the Dursley's. Harry Potter sighed, wishing that kind soft voice from his dreams would come back.
"And everybody keeps on talking about how better you are, since you started going to that special school. Better, hell, you're worse then ever as far as I can see -"
Bwaaah?
"Look at me when I talk to you - Oh, you can't, right. No eye contact. Damnit."
Uncle Vernon shook himself, then.
"Look...Just...Go back to your room, alright, boy? Before your aunt wakes up. You remember your aunt, right? Petunia?"
Well of course he remembered his Aunt Petunia, why the hell would Uncle Vernon think he didn't?
Uncle Vernon sighed, then. Harry blinked. It made him look so...tired.
"Look, I know Petunia thinks making you and Dudley keep your diets in important, even though it isn't even the same diet and she ends up cooking three times per meal or something, but I'm not going to be angry if you or Dudley nibble some crackers at night, alright? Just - Just stop that."
Bwaaaaaaaaaaah? Harry stared.
Vernon groaned.
"Oh, I give up - live in that cupboard, for all I care - "
Harry watched Vernon stomp up the stairs, staring all the while.
What the hell was that about?
Harry jumped, as a large shadow moved in from the kitchen.
"What? Trying to crawl in that cupboard again? Really, Potter."
Harry stared again. It seemed to be the night for doing this.
"Dudley?"
"Well yes. - Hey, you recognize me? Good. Now get out of the way, that's a good chap -"
Harry did. Dudley lumbered past, brushing cracker-crumbs off his pajamas.
"Will you stop staring at me? What?"
"You're - "
"What?"
" - Thinner?"
Dudley - who was about half the size of what he remembered - turned and stared at him.
"Yes, well, that's the point of the diet and the swimming and the boxing and everything, right? ...Weird. You're sort of making sense, today."
Aaaaaah?
Harry watched Dudley lumber up the stairs, still staring.
Was this the Twilight Zone?
And it was at a moment that he heard the Voice.
Oh! Oh Dreamer, You Are Awakened!
