Hello!

I know my grammar isn't perfect, because English is not my first language and I'm still learning but I'll try my best.

The Diary of Lily Evans

Prologue

Harry Potter was sitting on a bench under a tree in the park. He was a little bit nervous while he was waiting for his aunt. He was really surprised when he got her message which said she would like to talk to him and he had no idea why.

When he just thought that letter was only a joke aunt Petunia came. At first they were both quiet because they didn't know how should they start conversation. Harry was nervous because he didn't know what to expect. His aunt, uncle and cousin never liked him. It looked like Dudley changed his opinion on him but even if that was true Harry didn't know if it was same for his aunt and uncle. Aunt Petunia was first to break silence.

"I believe you are very surprised that you suddenly wanted to talk to you," she said. Harry nodded.

"I'm sorry Harry," she said. "I know we were horrible to you. I should've taken better care of you. I should've loved you like aunt should. There are so many things I should've or shouldn't have done. I was so jealous. I wanted to go to Hogwarts with Lily. And when I was told I can't go I couldn't accept it. So I was always telling Lily she is a freak and said I hate magic. Deep inside I was always worried about her and wished I could be with her. But when I started to realise this I thought it's too late to change anything. And marrying Vernon, who hated everything that isn't normal didn't really help me to change my opinion. And then everything happened suddenly. She died and Dumbledore asked us to take care of you. But I never really took care of you. I was sad that my sister died and that I couldn't apologise to her. I knew that being kind to you would be the most I could do. But I never did that. I really should've been better sister." After she said the last part she couldn't hold it anymore and started crying.

Harry was shocked. Not only because he never expected aunt Petunia to tell him that but also because he never saw her cry before. He knew his aunt was telling the truth. He hugged her. For the first time in his life. "I'm not asking you to forgive me. I know you won't be able to do that. And this is not the reason I wanted to see you," Petunia said.

"I understand your feelings and if I decided that I won't forgive you things would get only more complicated. I can see that you loved my mother," Harry said.

Petunia gave Harry sad smile but tears were still coming from her eyes. "Thank you Harry. You are very kind boy. I knew that all along. And as soon as I saw you for the first time I noticed. You have your mother's eyes."

Harry smiled and then remembered. "You said you had another reason you wanted to see me. May I ask what is that reason?"

"I wanted to give you this," Petunia said and showed Harry a book. "What is this?" Harry asked. "Lily's diary," Petunia said. "She got it for her ninth birthday and was writing in it for many years." Harry's heart started beating faster. He still didn't know very much about his parents. It's true that he knew much more than he used to when he was young. Sirius, Remus and Dumbledore told him some things and he also learned a lot from Snape's memories but there were still many things he didn't know and he knew that he would find a lot in this diary.

"How come you have my mother's diary," Harry asked. Petunia looked at him. "The day we were told what happened to your parents I went to see their house. Most of things were destroyed but I found this diary and nothing happened to it. I took it but I didn't have courage to read it until shortly after you saved Dudley from dementors. I still didn't say thank you for that."

Even though Harry believed Petunia was really sorry he didn't really understand where did this sudden change came from. "You went to their house?" he asked. "Yes. I didn't really know why but I felt like I need to do that. I never told Vernon about it." Harry was even more shocked than before. Ever since he saw Snape's memories he had feeling that Petunia was only jealous on Lily but he didn't thought she cared for her that much.

"At that time I remembered what that Snape boy told Lily. And I also remembered Lily's diary. I started reading it. I was thinking that I should talk to you about it but I didn't really have chance. Last two years you came home for much shorter time than usual and you were in your room for most of the time," Petunia continued.

Harry knew that she was right. Last two summers he didn't need to be with Dursleys for long time and he was in the room for most of the time. "So are you sure I can have this?" Harry asked. "Yes I am. I'm sure Lily would want you to have it," Petunia said.

When Harry returned to the Burrow where he was currently staying he opened the diary. On the first page there was written with big letters: THIS DIARY BELONG TO LILY EVANS. When he read this he got strange feeling that was mix of happiness and sadness. He slowly turned page and started reading ...
