This was good. Vernon's punishment was prefect. I could see him trying to stay awake so he won't die. I wonder how long will he last. Wonder what will happen to their fat pig of a son? I sgree with you about Harry not neing an interlectual. Harry was always think on your feet man of action type person. I do think he is smarter than what canon protrayed of him. He could not have survived all the things he did without some brains. Looking forward to the next chapter.
