So this is chapter 2 of our fic, written by blackteaplease and betaed by floss bucket! We hope we've managed to get the characterisation of Petunia right – she is much more complicated than Lily, and will evolve a lot over the course of this fic. The next chapter will probably be up in about a week – I have a weekend without internet coming up :( but that means I'll get lots of writing done

So now you can go and read this fic, and please review at the end! Xox fb

Lily,

It is good to hear you are enjoying it there but if you had come to St Teresa's with me you would be learning to be a lady and preparing to be a good wife not a witch. Just remember you are an Evans and belong to us before them, you must learn to be a lady, I don't want to think of what kind of manners you are learning at that school.

St. Teresa's is a fine boarding school for young ladies with modern architecture and the loveliest gardens. My dorm is on the second floor and over look the herbal garden which we use during cooking classes (according to Veronica). I share a room with Veronica and Melody. Both are not very bright or rich, Veronica is quite fat with horrible hair, it's bright red and curly (nothing like your lovely hair), she will never find a husband with her looks. Melody is very plain looking, mousy hair and is shy, I think she is a lesbian, she looks at me strangely. So far these are the only two people I have met for it is my first night and we have not started classes yet, but there is another girl who is new who I will meet tomorrow. I am not sure about the house system here but tomorrow I have a meeting with the headmistress of the school, I bet that Professor Dumbledore doesn't greet all his new students.

I can't believe you are still socialising with him. He has corrupted you and now you are off to that freaky school and will never be normal because of him. I don't understand why you like him, even people at your school think he is no good, that talking hat agrees, not that I would believe a talking hat but I have met him and he is not a good person. I will never forgive him for changing you into a freak just because he liked you, or for going through my things. If you know what is good for you, you will ignore him and move on from him and never speak of him again.

At least your start time is normal, it is probably the only normal aspect of your school. I received my timetable today and I start tomorrow. By now you will have been at that school for one week, I don't know why you started one week earlier, must be some weird tradition your kind have. What kind of classes will you be studying? I am studying English Literature, History, Art, Religion, Mathematics, Home Economics, Sport, French, Etiquette and Gardening, probably more interesting than your classes.

I have to go now, I must met with the headmistress before classes begin tomorrow. I know I am behind with studying because the state school we attended was inadequate for ladies training. Thank you for sending the letter the normal way and not their way.

Regards,

Petunia Evans

CHANNELING POOR HARD DONE BY 13 YEAR OLD PETUNIA (and failing!)
Hope this chapter isnt too bad! I try to make Petunia stuck up, thinking she is above everyone else which we start to see when Lily gets friendly with Snape. But I also want her to have some interest in Hogwarts, asking about classes but also insulting the school making it seem like she doesn't care about the school. But she still loves her little sister and believes she can be helped.
Don't you just hate older sisters? (you better not! we are both older sisters and we are awesome!)
thank you for reading and now review :)
