Chapter 1: Petunia Dursley
When we hear the name Petunia Dursley, the first thing that truly comes to our mind is how much we hate her. We hate her for what she did to Harry, for all those years of his life. Other adjectives about the well-known Mrs. Dursley include Skinny figure, erratic nature and, of course, Lily Potter's sister. But now, think.
Imagine. Imagine that you are a beautiful young girl with a beautiful younger sister. Both of you are so pretty, you are named after flowers. In your childhood, you and your sister were close. Very close. You used to play, read and study together. Then one day, say, on your sister's eleventh birthday, she receives a letter. The letter says that she is magical, and that she has been accepted at a magical school.
Your parents cannot be more proud. You are also happy for your sister, but just like any other person, you are jealous. In the years that follow, you and your sister drift apart from each other, and you are left all alone. Your parents are much more proud of your sister than of you, and she is always the special one, making you feel so small and unwanted. Although you know that your parents love you, you do not get half the attention your sister gets. Gradually, jealousy overpowers your love for her. Anger overpowers your love for her.
After years of seeking attention and love, you are now a grown lady. You have been through your trials of life and now want a peaceful and happy life. Your sister is now married, and whatever strings were left that connected you and your sister have become very fragile. Then, you meet a man. A man who makes you feel special. He loves you and cares for you and gives you the attention that you always deserved. He considers you his priority.
You start dreaming new dreams of a better life, a fresh start. You try to connect to your sister, but her husband is not so willing to keep connections with non-magical folks. It breaks your heart, but you try to keep going. You marry the man you love and a year later, both of you have a beautiful, healthy son. Your life suddenly starts to seem perfect. Your dreams are becoming a reality. All those strings of your life don't seem so fragile anymore.
Then one evening, someone rings the bell of your house. You open the door to find a basket at your doorstep. The basket contains a letter and an adorable little baby. You pick up the baby and read the letter. It says that your sister and her husband have been murdered, and the baby is their surviving child. Tears fill your eyes, and complicated emotions of shock, sadness and anger and fear come over you. In one moment, you realize that your dreams have shattered like breaking glass. All that you have done, all your life, to get where you were then, was for nothing.. All the strings left inside you break.
So, think. And remember what it is like to be Petunia Dursley. Dreams broken, heart broken, family gone. Thus, Petunia may be a negative character, but she has her reasons….
