"what is this" meghan dursley voice echoed through the walls of dursley household. After getting married dudley had finally taken his home far away from privet drive. it was in London borough of Islington as it was called. he lived many years in the privet drive before his wife asked him to move out.
as he looked back at his decision he was happy. his dad often visited him, after his mom died. the place where he lived was little suspicious. it was a huge building and they stayed at 4th floor.
dudley came out of his room running as he heard his wife scream.
"what is it" he asked.
"is this a owl...and why is letter addressed to my daughter" meghan looked at her husband confused.
dudley looked shocked. it felt like his worst fear had came true, but if he looked back at his own past, he did deserve it. what you dump today, one day they will follow you around. the one thing he had hated his whole life. and there it has came, in the form of a tawny small grey owl, as he got hold of the red envelop, his daughters name brightly written in it.
Daisy petunia dursley
first floor, 2nd room
With shaking hand he opened the envelop. it was excatly the same as years before he had seen for his cousin. as he read the letter, he realised how he should have understood it before. daisy dursley had always been different. even though she had inherited his blonde hair, but she had her mother's bright amber eyes which held fire. her strange behaviour that never made sense finally he realized why all those things happened.
"what is it dudders" his wife asked. he looked in her eyes, so like his daughter.
"we need to call harry, give that owl a little water. i will explain later". dudley said and he went to call his long lost cousin with whom now he was on christmas card terms.
meghan entered her drawing room, after she had fed the owl and he had flied away
"will you explain anything. and why are we calling harry suddenly". meghan asked.
dudley realized with a start. meghan knew nothing about their past. she had always thought they were distant cousins. now as his past will open she will know about it all. meghan johnson was beautiful maiden in her mid twenties when he met her. amber eyes and brown hair with a pure kind heart. she was everything he wasn't. this was the reason he had married her. because she was everything he wanted to be. now as he thought she will definitely kill him.
"our daughter... our daughter" he hesitated a little.
"what is it dudders" she asked.
"she is a witch". he said finally closing his eyes, not wanting to see her shocked face.
"she is what" meghan asked.
"a witch, someone who can do magic" dudley explained.
"a witch" he heard his wife repeat the word as she sat down.
"and this is admission letter from hogwarts school of magic and witchcraft where they teach young witches and wizards" . dudley continued "you have to be 11 to recieve the letter". he said.
"and daiz turned 11 last month". meghan said slowly.
"well now it fits all..." she said suddenly "all those weird happenings..now i understand" she said and then she suddenly looked shocked as she stood and asked angrily "but wait how do you know all this...and why are we calling harry potter". she looked shocked.
"because" dudley looked at her. he knew she was going to be angry as he hid the truth. he thought he will be able to protect his family from this truth. he didn't hated magic like his parents. he just didn't wanted anything to do with it.
"because harry is a wizard too" he could see the anger in her face as he expected.
"and so is his whole family". dudley said.
meghan looked like she was going to blow up.
"my aunt lily mom's sister was a witch too. first in our family, then she married harry's father, she met him at school and then they had harry". dudley said.
"and why did you never said that to me" she asked.
"harry's parents died when he was one year old. he was given to us to take care. my parents hated magic or wizards...we called them freak". dudley accepted with his head bent down.
he could see the shock in her face as he continued his story how they grew up..and what all happened...cupboards to letters to school all those years and how he killed that evil wizard who killed his parents and became a hero in wizarding world to the time he was finally gone. and when they contacted again he had a big family. he had married his best friend's sister and he had three children.
as he looked up, he found tears in his wife's eyes.
"meg" he tried to comfort her.
"are you going to do same with my daughter" she asked.
"nooo" he shouted "it was at time when i was bad. i didn't knew how i was..that incident..whatever it was changed me. i saw myself as i was. i accept i don't feel comfortable with magic, but i am ready to accept it for my daughter's sake" he said finally.
meghan looked at him and he saw her bright amber eyes burning "you better accept it mr. dudley vernon dursley. i don't care if my daughter is a witch or a vampire. i will still love her" she shouted
dudley hurriedly nodded in yes.
"and" she suddenly said. "after harry comes you better apologize to him perfectly otherwise i am gonna throw you out of my room for the rest of your life...and if you dare to speak again about any wizard being freak..you better watch out as anything could fall down on your head".
dudley nodded to everything she said.
"i am sorry meg" he said " i just didn't wanted to tell you all this" he said " it didn't concern our family till now"
"our family.. what are you talking about" meghan said "isn't harry our family dudders" she asked softly "he is your only brother".
"you know this was one of the reason i married you". he said as he hugged his wife. he never thought she will accept this truth this easily. she handled it much better than him.
even before he could say a thing. there was a knock on the gate. dudley opened the gate to find his cousin standing there , with his infamous scar and round glasses, and on his right side standing was his only daughter lily potter, her dark red hair and hazel eyes looking brightly at him
"uncle bubbles" she said brightly. out of all potter kids he was found of this little girl. she had been always cheery. she was just four year old when he had met harry after 12 years. he was shocked to see him and had called out to him.
"big D" he had said equally shocked and it was then his wife had joined him. looking angrily. he knew she had recognized him as the evil brother.
"dudders" his wife had too joined him with a five year old daisy.
after the introductions were over. meghan seemed to knew something was uncomfortable and when she knew they had met after 12 years. she had initiated the greeting and then came the invitations to christmas dinners and some play time for children. all together he was happy to have his cousin back in his life. he had regretted his actions and he had always wanted to apologize. even though he never apologized in words. he had known that harry had forgiven him. and they had remain in contact. it was on those visits that lily had got hold of his name as dudders and started calling him bubbles. dudders was too difficult for the child at that time, and the traditions had continued.
"where is daisy" harry asked
"she is in school" dudley said as he welcomed them inside "she will be coming soon".
all sat in his drawing room.
"harry i..." dudley tried to explain. but harry looked at him and said.
"i knew already" harry said "i was expecting your call today" he said "i had already observed daisy. even though i wasn't sure but when neville called me and said about this i was confirmed".
"Neville" asked meghan
"deputy headmaster and my friend. he saw the name dursley and he knew she was muggleborn so he had to come and explain but he thought if i came it would be better. thats why i brought lily too. she is going to hogwarts next year. so i thought if daisy had a companion about her age she wouldn't be afraid much". harry smiled.
"daisy is a wizard too" lily asked shocked. harry looked at his daughter in shock. it wasn't that she hated daisy but he knew they didn't like them much. all his children knew about his past and they weren't fond of dursleys. his daughter even though greeted them warmily. but he knew it was because he insisted.
"mom...dad" all of them turned to see two children entering. one had brown hair and blue eyes and was excatly like dudley. his son Dorian. and near him stood his elder sister daisy looking shocked.
"what is uncle harry and lily doing here" she asked suddenly. unlike potter kids, dursley kids liked potters. they often looked forward to play with them. even though they said strange things.
"Dorian why dont you go up and change son we need to talk to your sister". the eight year old Dorian ran inside.
"what happened dad" daisy asked looking shocked.
"so you are telling me i am some sort
of magician and i am admitted to a magic school". daisy asked. dudley thought she will be shocked. but like her mother she seemed thrill.
"well yes you are a wizard...have you ever done something you couldn't quite understand or explain". he asked.
"well ya many times teacher hair would change color or kids would fall if i hated them" she said..
"thats because you have magical power" harry said.
"are you too a wizard" she asked.
"well yes.. all of us are" he said Ponting to lily.
"and now that you have known. i must say you will be going on 1st September to the kings cross station, and from there to hogwarts" he smiled "here is your acceptance letter and a books about history of hogwarts and basic spells" he smiled "this will tell you all about wizards ".
"why dont you and lily talk in your room" meghan said.
lily made a face and it didn't went unnoticed by dursleys.
meghan had always felt confused about the hate of potters but now she knew they deserved it.
"lily go" harry said. and daisy and lily were gone.
as the three elders sat silently with meghan asking few questions about the evil wizards and if he was dead...or if it was still dangerous. as harry was answering. dudley looked at him. he had done so much to him. but here he was still helping him and his family.
"big D" he heard his name as he looked at his green eyes "is something on my face" he asked.
dudley looked embarassed.
"pls don't look like that at me. ginny is quite possessive about me..she will kill you" he laughed .
dudley looking red apologized.
"i was just joking" harry smiled.
and dudley felt even more guilty.
meghan realized it was time to leave them alone as they needed to talk..but as she excused herself in context of making tea she looked at harry potter and said.
"sorry harry...and thank you for still helping us..".
harry who looked quite confused,didn't realized why she was asking for sorry but before he could ask she was gone. helpless he looked at dudley who was still looking at him with emotions in his face that harry had never seen on his cousin's face
