  "We can't get rid of him the other freaks will find out," Aunt Petunia shouted back. Though there was no anger directed at Vernon she still felt it better to shout and show her husband that he shouldn't anger her.

It was a rare occurrence but when it happened Harry would be able to fall asleep peacefully and not groaning in pain.
