A few days after the Battle of Hogwarts and Lord Voldemort's defeat, the Dursleys returned to Number 4, Privet Drive. Even though they were home, they felt that something was missing. Well, Petunia did anyways. After unpacking all of their stuff and cleaning the house up, Petunia found herself staring in to the empty room that was once Harry Potter's. After a while Dudley came upstairs and stood next to his mother, also staring in to the empty room. 'Mum, I miss Harry', said Dudley. Petunia, shocked that these words had come out of Dudley's mouth replied, 'Me too, diddykins, me too.' They both continued to stare in to the room for a few minutes, both feeling quite sad that Harry wasn't there anymore. It was quite an intense moment until the thundering voice of Vernon disrupted it. 'What the ruddy hell are you two doing? We have things to do!' he boomed, and his voice echoed throughout the empty room.
Later that evening whilst sat at the dinner table having their first meal back at home, Petunia gulped, cleared her throat and rather nervously said, 'I want to visit Godric's Hollow.' At this, Dudley looked up at his mother, food hanging out of his mouth, and then looked at his father. Vernon dropped his fork and slowly started turning purple again. He looked at Petunia and said, 'What do you mean, you want to visit Godric's Hollow?' Dudley could sense his father was getting angry again and quickly shoved all of his food in to his mouth and left the table. Petunia looked scared at first, but then looked Vernon straight in the eyes and said, 'I want to go to Godric's Hollow and see my sister.' 'YOUR SISTER IS DEAD, PETUNIA, AND I FORBID YOU TO GO TO THAT PLACE!' Vernon shouted.
Petunia stood up, pointed her finger at Vernon and said, 'How. Dare. You', slowly gaining more confidence, 'I AM going to Godric's Hollow whether you like it or not. There isn't a single day that goes by I don't miss Lily, and not a single day I wish I could have said goodbye to her properly. I've had enough now. I am going to contact Harry in the morning, and ask him to accompany me. If Dudley wishes to come and visit his aunty, he can.' Silently, she emptied her plate in the bin, washed, dried and put away her dishes and left the room. Dudley was outside the door, he had been listening to everything from a safe distance. She looked at him, tears filling up her eyes. 'I want to come with you mum, to Godric's Hollow. I want to see Harry again, and tell him I'm sorry for being so horrible to him all those years and I want to be there for you when you get upset', he said, looking at his mother, tears now slowly filling his eyes as he saw how heartbroken his mother was. 'Thank you, diddykins.'
