Chapter 10: Calm Before The Storm
Today Harry was happy beyond words. He was looking for some dirt on Vernon, but even in his wildest dreams, he would imagine that Vernon was cheating and being submissive under a dominatrix.
It was a good way to make the last hit in their relationship. Harry wanted the whole petunia for himself, so it was necessary that after the divorce she did not have a feeling for him. Otherwise, it will be hard for Harry to advance.
"I should have recorded it somehow and used that for divorce. " Thought Harry but soon discarded it. " First I don't have future technology which is listed in the system. Second I can use magic but that can only be used for convincing her but not for divorce. Besides, she has misgivings about magic. "
"That needed to change as well," Harry self-noted. And he continued his journey. Suddenly he had an idea and regretted not staying longer.
"How foolish of me, I could have recorded it and blackmailed him after a divorce to keep him in check. " Harry sighs.
" Somehow if I could lead Petunia to his office..." while driving his car back to the lab, Harry started planning.
Reaching the lab, he changed his appearance and clothes back to school uniform. And he started his journey back home.
It was evening time, and the sun was about to set on a far horizon. And the street lights were on, children were playing near, where the small garden is located.
Harry stopped walking when he noticed Dudley playing with others. Dudley was the same as his father, who liked to show off, narrow-minded, as fat as a round ball, short-tempered and bossy with a weak one.
Suddenly Harry thought, "Maybe when he grows up he will be a masochist too. "
He chuckled to himself.
Harry didn't like when he took everything for granted, although he was just a child but still got on the nerve of Harry because he had to share partial love from a petunia. Even though knowing she might be a witch, he becomes cold to her as she isn't " normal" as his father.
So Harry was angry about treating her like that and whenever he got the chance, Harry would make fun of him.
Now seeing him here, he can't let this chance go. Thus Harry went toward the ground.
They were playing football and passing each other around. Of the seven players total, three were Dudley's lackeys.
Harry went near them and took the ball when one of them passed to another. And he started playing by himself.
Others just stare at him, knowing that they can't beat him altogether.
Of course, it would be a joke if a few little kids could beat his three to four-time vitality and endurance. So they watched him play.
But Dudley couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "You freak, return the ball and get lost. "
Knowing well full meaning, Harry didn't get angry but replied with a calm tone" there are lots of people like me and we aren't freaks, if mom knows, she would be sad." With that, Harry put Petunia and him in the same boat.
Although he didn't like the fact that her mother was different but when he needed money or new thing, he had to get from his mother, as his father was always busy.
Hearing that Dudley is scared now. And Harry was satisfied with that.
"Come and take it if you can. " Harry told Dudley.
Everyone else backed up knowing it was brothers fighting as it was common for them, and the result was obvious, too.
*thump*
Dudley was lying on the ground and Harry was still playing with a smile on his face. And everyone started laughing at him. His face turned purple from anger and stared at Harry.
"You" roared Dudley, "I will complain to my father." Knowing only his father will help him, with the last thread of hope.
Hearing that Harry gets near him while Dudley backward is afraid of him.
" You can try, but you know what will happen after that, right? " Harry gave him some weird poses.
Well, that was what he made up, to do magic. And that was enough to scare Dudley.
Seeing his face got pale, he kicked the ball last time and went home laughing.
He unlocked the front door and entered, and went straight to the kitchen knowing Petunia would be there.
Inside the kitchen, Petunia was preparing some dishes and suddenly spoke without turning back, "You came back, dear. "
" No!, Mom, how can you always know about me? " Harry said while he tried to surprise her.
She replies with a smile, "I have an extra pair of eyes on the back of the head."
And Harry hugged her from behind.
"How was your day, mom? Did you miss me? "
" It was all right, the same old. Go wash first and come back to help me, I am a little tired"
Harry inquired " what happened? Are you alright? "
"it's nothing. Good rest will do the trick, now go" she replied.
She continued her work, and in just two minutes, Harry came back.
" What? Did you come back? Did you clean yourself properly? " Petunia asked.
"Of course, you can check for yourself if you don't believe me, " said Harry
" A naughty boy! Always the same! " said Petunia with embarrassment.
" I don't mind since we are the same. " Harry said with a matter-of-fact tone.
" You... never mind, help me wash vegetables" she replies and left to another counter due to embarrassment.
They didn't take the last step, but they were at the edge of it.
"Just little longer and you will be mine, and none will bother us. "Thought Harry with a resolution.
Harry always comes to the kitchen to help her cook and of course to tease her.
Sometime later the door opened with a bang, without doubt, it was Dudley.
He started screaming as he was hungry and sat in front of the TV to watch his favorite show.
This was his daily routine, so Harry just threw him packet food and he started eating without looking back.
Half an hour later, when the show was over, he went to the bathroom. In the meantime all the dishes were ready, so both of them sat in the living room and watched TV, from time to time Harry would tease her or tell a joke, after some time Dudley joined them.
Harry couldn't do anything but endure for the time being.
Time flies and 3 hours went by and Vernon hasn't returned home. Today he broke all the records for being late.
Dudley had complained many times about being hungry, but Petunia said the family should have dinner together.
Harry just smiled and watched, knowing he would be late due to him.
Sure enough, Vernon came back around 11 o'clock and tried to sneak in the house. But we were just sitting and watching TV so his plan failed.
When Petunia saw Vernon's, her face was burning with anger.
She just drags him to the bedroom and soon sounds of fighting can be heard.
Seeing all this Dudley finally asked Harry, "Do you know what they are doing? "
Harry didn't miss the chance and replied, "Of course, Mom is beating Vernon with magic. "
Here, Harry's plan was simple. He just wanted to scare Dudley about magic. So when Petunia awakens her magic, Dudley would be frightened and leave with Vernon.
Of course, this might seem like wicked or evil, but for Harry everything was fair. He considers this battle, and two of them, his enemies.
If it wasn't due to Harry's charm, they would treat him poorly and drag Petunia, who would become narrow-minded and even leave Harry to die without saying a word when he would face Voldemort later on.
But now that he knows everything, then he will fight for a better future. And try to save petunia from those dumb people.
Soon the sound died down and Petunia came back with an ugly face; clearly, it didn't go well. She went straight to the kitchen.
"See I told you, she won the fight, " Harry whispered to Dudley and ran after her.
He just helped when he went to the kitchen without talking.
Suddenly he said "mom I will always come back early and take care of you, promise" with a resolute look in his face
She was shocked and touched by his words and put things down from her hand and hugged Harry tightly.
She started sobbing silently, and after finally calming herself she said, "Thank you, but with your look and personality, you will find a pretty girl, get married and forget this old woman " finished half-jokingly.
With a shocked and sad look, Harry replied" how can that be!, I am not going to marry and even if I do mom will be my first priority. And don't say you will be old, you are the most beautiful woman in the whole universe. Right, I decided I would marry you, mother. "
"Hump, we will see if you say the same after getting old. And you have to find a nice girl for yourself, and your mother can't marry you," replied Petunia with a serious face, but clearly happy with the answer.
" Why not? Even England law allows it. Besides, they even do intermarriage in magic..." said Harry.
But interrupted by Petunia, "Enough, don't talk about that. " Clearly a 'magic' word touched her sour spot.
They went to the dining table and started preparing the dish.
Suddenly Harry asked, "mother, if, I am saying if, you suddenly have magic power, how would you feel?" This was a critical question for his plan, so he asked it like that.
Petunia just stopped for a moment to find an unexpected question out of the blue, and after thinking a little, she replied, "I will be glad, I guess. "
Of course, she will! , she even wrote a letter to the headmaster pleading to be admitted to the school.
Hearing that Harry was delighted, knowing he could follow through on the plan.
He had a simple plan. With a bleeding heart, he will use the system to buy the potion, Felix Felicis, with 2000 HP. Then he would ask her out to have fun and at the end of the date they would go to Vernon's office and catch them red-handed.
As for how he knew when he would be there, Harry thought and found that he came back late when they would profit tremendously. Same as him who would party when they profited.
So it would be easy to make his company profit with his wide connections.
As for Dudley, he would think of something later.
Then he can take a step forward in his relationship with Petunia and get the magic awakening potion from the system as a reward and help her.
This was the reason he asked her a question before.
Soon Vernon came to the dining room, with Dudley following him behind.
All of them sat and prayed to God and started eating.
Harry was lost in his plan, and Petunia was eating silently as if something was on her mind, Dudley was eating like a pig without a care in the world. Vernon was also in deep thought as if making hard decisions.
So all in all, everyone was silent and minding their own business, with a peaceful moment.
But soon it will turn into chaos when Harry starts his plan. It was an illusion, this calm was an indicator of starting a storm. It was calm before the arrival of the storm.
