“Mummy,” gurgles Harry, causing Petunia to go very still with the sopping washcloth.
“I’m not your mummy!” balks Petunia, horrified.
“Mummy!” repeats Harry, pudgy palms clapping together in delight; smiling his bright baby smile, all gums.
“No, no, I’m not your mummy, you disgusting child!” bites Petunia, and Harry blinks his eyes-his great green eyes that are Lily, Lily all over except he doesn’t understand, he doesn’t know, he doesn’t know he’s a freak just like his father and mother were freaks, he doesn’t know-
“Mummmmmy, mummmmmy,” he coos, rolling the word out around his clumsy toddler tongue.
“I’m not your mummy!” hisses Petunia, pressing a little too harshly on the fragile membrane of his developing skull as she runs her wet, baby-soap fingers through his black tangle of hair.
“I’m not your mummy,” she insists again as he begins to wail.
And she’s not.
