Perfect(Part2)

 The next few days Lily noticed that Petunia kept putting so much distance between them Petunia would simply brush her off whenever she tried to talk to her. Years went by for them both Lily at Hogwarts and Petunia at her school for advanced learners. Petunia was proud of her school. Always saying how she got in through hard work not just by some abnormality, of course she made all these scathing comments behind her parents back, knowing Lily would never tell. All of this upset Lily but Petunia would never talk to her and she couldn't do anything. Lily's wedding came but Petunia never showed up regardless of her invitation and Lily's persistence. Lily kept writing Petunia after hearing from her parents about Her engagement to Vernon, but the wedding came and Lily received no invitation still. Of course that didn't stop her but Petunia didn't know that. Lily stood in the very back of the church unnoticeable and watched the ceremony. She truly hoped they would be happy together, but she saw a bit of sadness in her sister's eyes instead of the joy she had felt when she had married James.

Lily knew as Voldemort rose in power that she may not be around much longer so she decided to try once more to resolve this old conflict. She sat down and wrote.

Dearest Petty,

I realize that we have been continually drifting apart for years and once more I am trying to bridge this dreadful gap between us. I truly wish you happiness with Vernon. You looked so beautiful in your wedding gown and my eyes filled with tears of joy as you walked down the aisle, but I saw that sadness in your eyes when the ceremony was performed. I do hope you made the right choice with Vernon and didn't just marry him because he had that successful drill company and you thought It would impress Mum and Dad. I do hope you are happy with him. Best wishes with your son Dudley. Maybe he and Harry will become friends one day. He is only a few months older isn't he? Petty, I have to tell you that there is another reason for writing this letter. I may not be around much longer and may never see my son grow up. James and I hope that you will make sure he is ok for the only person we may have to raise him is Sirius who is another large target for Voldemort and Remus can't because of a certain problem he has. Peter is dear but we couldn't imagine him raising Harry. I have a bad feeling about making him secret keeper. Please take care of my son should Sirius become uncapable. Show him the love I may not be there to give. Petty dear I will always love you.There is so much I want to say but I fearI have no time so I must close. I wish we had made amends long ago for I may never see you again. Forgive me Petty for whatever I did to make you put so much space between us.

Your Loving Sister,

Lily

Petunia and Vernon were sitting down to dinner and Dudley was in his high chair. They finished dinner and Vernon went to bed. Petunia put Dudley in his cradle and sat in the living room on the couch. All of a sudden a small brown owl flew in and dropped a letter. She read the front

To: Petunia Dursley

#4 Privet Drive

She didn't even open the letter. She recognized that handwriting. She stuck it down in the bottom of the desk drawer and didn't even look at it, shoving it out of her mind. She went up to her room and climbed into the bed.. Only a couple of weeks afterward she found Harry on her doorstep. She had forgotten about the letter by then.

Years later at the end of Harry's fourth year when he had returned from Hogwarts she was downstairs sitting on the couch. Harry was upstairs sleeping. Vernon was away on a business trip and Dudley was staying at a friends. She walked over to the same desk and pulled out some paper to write a grocery list on. She fished around for a pen and pulled out an envelope addressed to her instead.

 As Petunia read the letter a single tear rolled down her cheek, all the hate disappeared and was quickly replaced with regret.
