This was in my head for quite some time now... I hope you like my idea^^ Let me know if, and how, I can improve my spelling, writing and grammar, ok?
Disclaimer: Harry Potter (naturally) belonges to JK Rowling... if it were mine, I'd be filthy rich and wouldn't have to work so hard in school... darn...... :(
The caracters who aren't in JK's story are mine, and mine alone!
Now... enjoy! R&R!!
Petunia Dursley finally allowed herself to breathe again. That horrible boy had just been picked up by those people. A female, she remembered, clad completely in black. But now luckily they were gone.
She sighed. Sooner or later she would have to give up trying to ignore their existence on this planet, she knew that – after all she had kept sweet little Holly, her beautiful little flower. With her vibrant green eyes she reminded Petunia so much of her younger sister, the girl's mother, that it hurt her. Well... she simply couldn't give her up, and neither would Vernon. Some day they would have to tell her what she was and were she'd go to school after her eleventh birthday. But for now they simply were a happy family, Vernon, Dudley, Holly and her, Petunia.
But she wouldn't have been able to keep that other disgusting brat. That horrid boy was the devil reincarnated, she was sure of it. Holly just wasn't like that brat – she could tell. Sometimes she would watch her sister's children so that the cousins would know each other from the very beginning. At the beginning she liked both of the twins – they were quite cute after all – but that changed very soon. That boy started showing signs of magic from the very beginning. He would let things hover in thin air – and then suddenly let them drop just to start giggling like a little maniac. Then he started changing things... colours would change suddenly, just before you left the house for example. Then your jacked or something else would suddenly be something gaily coloured with ugly green polka-dots. He even turned her husband's hair to a hot pink colour – not even Lily and that husband of hers managed to change it back. It stayed that colour for almost a week and Vernon had to call in sick. But if it were only for those harmless little escapades of harmless accidental magic outbursts nothing would have been wrong and she'd token the boy in as well... but not after the brat had burned Dudley. Suddenly her Duddikins high-chair had combusted into flames. It still gave her nightmares to see her baby-boy in that burning chair – while her nephew sat in the high-chair next to him and giggled once more. No. After that incident she simply couldn't bring herself to take that brat. She never baby-sat him for Lily again, wouldn't even touch him. The last few days Vernon had to take care of the boy, pamper him and feet him and all. She simply wouldn't get near him again. Nor was the brat allowed near her two precious little angels. So she had swallowed her pride and contacted those wizards. She didn't care what they thought of her for abandoning such a little boy in his time of need. But Petunia Dursley simply wasn't able to. Holly was not a problem. She was an easy to take care of child, always even-tempered and well behaved. That she was magical wasn't all that bad either. Sadly her niece wasn't the only witch on the planet. As long as Holly was this small Petunia could at least tell herself that they didn't exist. But in some years she'd have to give up on this habit. In less than ten years she'd have to visit a street full of wizards in order to get little Holly's school supplies.
But for now, she told herself, she'd be able to relax and enjoy the time with her precious family. She'd watch Dudley and Holly grow up as two not overly spoiled kids and teach them to be responsible. She'd have some happy, undisturbed years, completely void of other magical beings than her cute little flower.
After all... for now everything was fine. And it would get better as soon as she was over the fact that Lils was gone for good. A single tear escaped Petunia's eyes – but then she smiled, when she saw how well Holly and Dudley already interacted with each other while her husband made sure to have an eye on the kids.
Yes. Everything would be good for them.
She entered the living room and happily engaged herself in the children's game while Vernon watched on with a big happy grin on his face.
