After scaring Dudley, Petunia Dursley punishes Harry by giving him an entire day's worth of chores. Harry is forced to clean the windows, wash the car, mow the lawn, and repaint the garden bench, all while Dudley relaxes and eats ice cream. Harry, exhausted and sweaty, reflects on how even the small pleasure of taunting Dudley is not worth the endless work he must endure as punishment.
