Chapter 5: The Surprise for Harry

Vernon's POV

Last night my wife and I discussed to get Harry his own computer, and get him a textbook for his GCSE's since we can not put him back in school or homeschool him. So here I am having already gotten him a computer for his room, in a book store not knowing where to find the book my son is going to need. I finally went up to the front desk and asked "excuse me, but where can I find the textbook for the GCSE's?"

She looked up at me and walked around indicating for me to follow her, and showed me all the way to back in the right hand corner the textbooks and walked off all without saying one word to me. I finally found the book that my son needed and took it up to the front desk checking out before going back to work.

When I got home I called Harry down the stairs and told said "Go look over there and after dinner" I smiled as he hesitantly went over to the couch where the box and bags were. My wife doesn't know it but I had stopped and got him that CD Walkman that came out when he was a child and wanted. It came out in 1984, when he was 4 and I now remember getting for him but I don't know what happened to the things we got him for his 4th birthday so now here it is. I looked up at him coming from my thoughts and smiled he was of course had the textbook open and the headphones on his head listening to the radio on the thing.

When Petunia called and said it was dinner time I from his attention as Dudley came in and set at the table demanding the food.

I finally got fed up and snapped saying "Dudley Vernon Dursley if you don't shape up now your mother and I will be sending you to Military School and don't think I don't notice the blood on your shirt." I thought about for a second then said over his whining "You know what you will be going to Military School this year instead of Smeltings. I am not going to continue to put up with this failing school, the bullying, or even the laziness and the disrespectfulness of authority figures."

"But Dad, it is the Freak that is doing it why…"

"Your cousin is not a Freak and it is not his fault. I am not going to fall for that shit anymore you will go to Military School and if you throw that fork at me I will take you over my knee now go to your room now!" I bellowed.

"But…"

"Go!" I yelled and pointed.

Once I heard my son's door slam shut we finished dinner and I went and helped Harry hook up his computer before going to talk to Petunia about what I said at dinner.
