She Left Me…
Petunia Evan/Dursley's view on the
day
Lily was accepted to Hogwarts and
after
That Lily always was Mum and Dad's
favorite. Why not? She was beautiful, even though I hate to admit it. With her
glowing red hair and large bright green eyes. Her perfect figure, which
reflects the moon like the Goddess's herself. She was popular in school, with
perfect grades. Yes, we did get along when we were younger. We used to play
'Witches and Wizards' in the backyard.
And then that horrid letter arrived.
The letter that changed my life forever. It said, 'Dear Miss Lily Evans, You
have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!' Did I
believe it at first? Absolutely not! Witches and Wizards don't exist. That's
something that little kids make believe, something that appears in daydreams
and books. But now, I'm just denying it. And I know it. How else would they
know that she had the middle room, on the second story, and then the exact
address of our house?
Really, at first I thought, 'This is
just a joke she devised with one of her friends.' But nooo, Mum and Dad decided
that they would check out this Diagon Alley place anyway. So we went. And what
did I get? A whole place filled with people like Lily. I wonder if any of them
left their sisters like she did. Maybe they got that letter on
day, and just left their brother or sister for that Freak School.
And so, Lily, the one I thought would
always be there for me, left. She left me… to go to a place where she would
learn spells and hexes and curses and charms. Sometimes, only sometimes, I wish
I could have been able to go. I hear you aren't really judged on appearance,
only by some. I might have been able to fit in. And she left. I didn't go to
see her off. I didn't even say good-bye before she left. Lily only came home
during the summers… she stayed during holidays… and even when she was home she
was going off to see the friends she made.
In her second year at that place, I
finally got something she didn't. I got a boyfriend. Sure, he wasn't handsome
or extremely pleasant, but he accepted me for who I was. When I introduced Lily
to Vernon Dursley, he looked at her with disgust, like he could tell what she
had put me through. But that witch still remained Mum and Dad's favorite. They
wanted to see her perform spells.
I guess things went kind of smoothly
after that. She was popular at that Freak School, also. The witch made tons of
friends and got just as good grades as she did at the old school. She was
popular, with both the teachers and the students. Then she just had to meet
that James Potter.
I had seen him, from when Mum made me
come to the station to pick Lily up. And let me tell you, he was cute. Large
chocolate brown eyes; messy raven hair; a muscular build and a great sense of
humor. From what I had overheard Lily telling Mum and Dad, he was an original
prankster. She said how he would always play jokes and pranks on the students
and even teacher. She and him were at a hating rivalry, which eventually became
friendly.
Then, when I thought things couldn't
get worse, she announced that she and James were dating. Lily, that witch, had
ruined my life beyond what I thought possible. She had made my life a living
nightmare… she had everything I didn't, everything I wanted. But what I thought
was lucky for me was that, when your young like her, most 'boyfriends' or
'girlfriends' or just like a fling. So everything would be OK, they would brake
up right? Oh how wrong I was.
At the end of her sixth year, James
asked her to marry him. Lily couldn't leave me any more, could she? Oh yes, she
could. That witch, my sister who left me so many times before, said yes. So
Lily married the handsome, funny and kind, perfect James Potter. She moved in
with him… leaving me for good… only visiting now and then. Then she had her
baby boy, a perfect copy of James, only with her bottomless green eyes.
And then I though, 'what else can go
wrong? She's a witch, moved out, married with a child. There's no way she can
leave me any more than this. The loneliness is almost unbearable.' Oh how wrong
I was, again. Some evil wizard hunted them down and killed them, from the
stories I hear. James died protected Lily, Lily protecting their son Harry. And
Harry lived, bound by the love his parent gave to him through their sacrifice
and care for him. Lily never left Harry, and even when she died she was with
him in spirit. How I wish she were there for me.
Then, Harry showed up at our
doorstep. He brought back all the painful memories of Lily and James… And then
again, the pieces of the past were place together again, woven by Harry. He
received a letter to attend that blasted school. Even more memories came
flooding back. Old times, Lily and me.
Why, Lily? Why did you leave me?
First the school, then the marriage. And then death. What did I do to deserve
this? I thought we would be together, forever. I'm crying now, Lily. I hope you
now that it hurts. And Harry, I'm sorry to treat you so, but the memories, the
painful memories. It hurts, just to look at you… One day, Lily, when I die I
will join you in that wondrous place where you are… and we will be friends,
sisters, again. One day, we will be together again. I promise, Lily. I promise.
Ok… that was weird, ne? Anyway, I noticed many people
didn't look closely at Petunia's side. Granted, I don't really think what she
puts Harry through (and how she treated Lily) was right, but she must have a
good reason.
