When in Doubt~
-A series of drabbles about what the Potter characters would do when in doubt-
Petunia Dursley-
She loved her little sister dearly. She really did. And then that Snape boy came along, and whisked Lily off to a world filled with magic. Petunia was young and full of jealousy, which turned to hate as her sister became more involved with the Wizarding world. She blamed everything on Snape, and over the years, her hatred towards Snape has never changed. Other things have, though.
Gradually, Petunia became less and less envious that Lily was a witch and that she was not. She started viewing magic as an abnormality, and that maybe, just maybe, Lily was a freak for being a witch. The rift between the sisters grew, as Petunia refused to acknowledge Lily, lest her freakishness was worn off on Petunia's normalness.
She got married and lived a happy life, well away from the freaks. And then one day, her husband mentioned her sister and her lot. Petunia should've known better than to think nothing of it. But then when her nephew appeared on her doorstep, along with the news that Lily and her husband were killed…. That was just enough to make Petunia think, just for an instant, that maybe she was wrong in ignoring Lily all those years. That thought was ignored, along with the letter accompanying Harry Potter. She even did her best to ignore the boy and that horrible, freakish scar on his forehead.
If only he wasn't a constant reminder of her and her lot.
But then, when it was made clear that her family would have to move out of their house, Petunia's doubts returned to her mind. Once again, she decided that when in doubt, ignore the problem. Maybe it'd go away, and she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
This was, admittedly, quite challenging to write. I'm pretty sure I didn't do that good of a job with this, but oh well.
