Chapter 2
It had been four years since Harry and Jane had arrived at number four, Privet Drive, almost five. They loved their aunt when their uncle was away as she had grown quite fond of the children, but she couldn't tell Vernon that. To tell him would mean that she would most likely be disowned by him. All her 'beliefs' weren't what she thought anymore. She had changed, there was just something about the twins that she could not resist however much she tried. Petunia knew the day that Sirius was going to take them away was edging closer, at first she had willed for the day to come, just like Vernon. Now she didn't so much. As the twins had grown, Petunia noticed that Jane looked like Lily when she had been younger, except for the fact that Jane had hazel eyes. Petunia had supposed that Harry looked like James when he was younger, except with Lily's eyes. Petunia could recognise those eyes anywhere and Harry had her eyes. She had only met James Potter once and quite briefly. Petunia remembered the day and her eyes filled with tears as she remembered what had happened, what she had done:
It was the day Petunia and Vernon had moved in to Privet Drive. There was a knock on the door. At the time Petunia had thought that it was the neighbours welcoming them to the neighbourhood. She had quickly rushed to the door and put on her biggest smile to make a good first impression. When she opened the door, instead of greeting neighbours, she had come face to face with her sister. Her smile had faded and a plate of her homemade brownies had clattered to the floor. A man had then darted around Lily to pick up a brownie. "What? Five second rule!" he had explained as Lily frowned a him, forcing him to not eat it, instead he had shoved it in his back pocket. Lily had sighed and hissed "James, you aren't making a very good first impression!" then she had turned to Petunia and said! This is my husband, James. I wanted you to meet him because you weren't at our wedding." Petunia had then slammed the door in her sister's face.
That was the day that she vowed never to talk to her sister again, and she didn't. Petunia cursed herself for ignoring the invitations from her sister, offering to help. She had been ignoring a chance to redeem herself and because of one man who she didn't even really love anymore, the only reason she hadn't left him was because of her son. She didn't want him to grow up without a proper family, so Petunia kept these feelings hidden away at the back of her mind. Then the doorbell rang. Petunia went to answer it, hoping and hoping that it wasn't Sirius. "Hello, you must be Petunia?" he asked "This is the right address: number four Privet Drive, Mr and Mrs Durley?" Sirius confirmed. Petunia nodded and felt her heart sink. "Harry, Jane, Dudley!" she called, three toddlers came running to her, noticing the man, they hid behind Petunia. Two of the children had scars on their foreheads making them the twins, they were very shy and stood behind their aunt. The other child was clinging onto his mother's legs, he was Dudley. "Children, this is Sirius Black and he will be taking Harry and Jane, he is your godfather. You will be safe from uncle Vernon and Dudley's daddy." she said with tears in her eyes. Then she went to get the pre-packed bags that had been in her bedroom ever since Harry and Jane had turned four. Sirius bent down to Harry and Jane "Was your uncle mean to you?" he asked worriedly. Harry and Jane nodded "Was your aunt mean as well?" he asked, hoping for a no because Petunia had seemed genuinely upset, he wanted to be right about Petunia, that she was good. Harry an Jane shook their heads and Sirius sighed in relief. "Auntie Tunney cant stand up to uncle bourbon cos she afraid to." Jane explained, using Lily's nickname for Petunia. "Bourbon? Is it a nickname" Sirius questioned, the children smiled to themselves, knowing something that Sirius, obviously didn't "We call him bourbon cos he eats so many. It also rhymes with his name!" Harry said. They were interrupted by Petunia descending the stairs, from the look of things, she had been crying. Well, it didn't exactly take a genius to work it out really, because her faces was a bright red and tear-stained. It was then at that moment, Sirius announced "You're coming with us! You and Dudley."
Petunia stared in surprise "Wait, what!?Really, leave this place, leave Vernon?" Sirius nodded. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Petunia squealed as she hugged a startled Sirius. "Yeah, sure! Why not? We will need a responsible, motherly figure. Besides Remus and I can't do everything in a large house, we'll need some help." Petunia rushed upstairs closely followed by Sirius. Together they packed everything, with a little magic here and there, to reach things and make the suitcases expandable, little things like that. Even so, Petunia was amazed, how come she had never seen this before, magic was amazing, her sister was amazing! "We better leave in 5 minutes, or else Vernon will see us leave" Petunia said hurriedly, as she hastily dragged the suitcase down the stairs. "Don't worry, we can apparate." Sirius reassured the distressed woman. They heard a car door slam shut. It was Vernon.
