Woo- hoo! 5th one- shot for the day!
That's so cool… Will we be doing this again tomorrow?
Maybe, if I'm not busy and if there is no classes…
Okay… Say the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: Sadly enough, I do not own Harry Potter. *sniff* Just the idea. Annabeth, could you please pass the box of tissues?
Here…
Thanks. *blows nose* Here's the story… or more like a drabble…
Petunia Evans is someone you can call a nosey neighbor, especially during Saturdays. She would take the neighborhood's matter in her own hands. Why the neighbor- next- door smells so bad, why the couple in a few blocks divorced, etc.
But there's something she needs to know… What does others thought about her family? She was certain, for once, that they too, gossip behind her back. She planned this very smoothly, and thoroughly. Her sister, Lily, the witch, oh- so- favored one is in her ruddy school so she's the only left inside the house.
That day, Petunia bought a wig and new set of clothes. She also bought colored contact lenses. What is she planning to do?
The Cokeworth village is a very quiet village, and the normality of the scene is seeing women gossipin around the corners. That's when Petunia comes in. She has brown hair, blue eyes, and tall, bony figure. She wears blue shirt and jeans. It's just a regular outfit. Normal.
But this isn't Petunia… Who is- Ahh! This is Petunia in disguise!
That certain sunny afternoon, she went to the gossip corner just a few meters from the Evans' house hold.
"Really? I thought they never had a kid?" Petunia heard gossiper 1 said.
"Yeah! It appears that they adopted the child!" gossiper 2 exclaimed. Petunia cleared her throat, and all women's head turned on her.
"Hi!" Petunia greeted, smiling. She's trying to change her voice. "I am new here. I was wondering what you were talking about?" Petunia, slowly and carefully, joined in their conversation then interjected the Evans' state.
"What do you think of those- Evans was it?" the gossipers smiled at her. Petunia was really a good actress. She took lessons with Lily back in fourth grade.
"Oh, the Evans is good people. They are quiet and kind. We don't hear any problems from them." Gossiper 3 said. The others nodded their agreement. Petunia smiled and nodded satisfactorily, until her ear caught something. "Except for their older, Petunia." Gossiper 2 said. Petunia stiffened.
"What about her? Isn't she you friend?"
Gossiper 2 hesitated, and then nodded slowly. "But she always bad mouths her little sister, Lily."
Reluctantly, gossipers 1 and 3 nodded. "I can't really find anything bad about her. Her parents never took ill of her or something. She only studies abroad in a dormitory school. When she comes back, nothing unusual happens." Gossiper 1 said.
"I can't find the abnormality that Petunia claims." Gossiper 3 nodded. Petunia stiffened once again.
Petunia muttered a thank you to them then went away, but something caught her ear once again. "Lily is truly the Evans' prefect little angel."
She ran away, angrily. What friends she has!
She threw a dart at the dart board with Lily's picture pinned to it. The picture is ruined, probably of how many times she threw the dart at the picture. Petunia stood from her bed and picked the picture. Angrily, she tore it and threw it at the trash can. Tears were streaming down her face as she said the words, "Only for you, my perfect little sister."
She's soooooooo jealous.
That she is…
…
Love it, hate it? Say something! I'll be very appreciative!
Hugs and kisses,
