Epilogue
"...
I hate her. I hate her so much. She can't come close to grasp even the tiniest fragment of my hatred towards her. Every time that I have to see her stupid face makes me want to retch. Oh, my darling sister, always the bright one, always the pretty one. I CAN'T HELP IT! GOD DAMMIT!!
...
Oh yes! Yes, yes! He likes me, he said he liked me ... dreamy smile ... sigh Yeah, I know, he isn't exactly one Adonis, but he shares the same views as I. He's very nice and - No, there isn't anyone peeking over my shoulder while I write this - he's a really good kisser! squeal
He said he wants to start a family, he likes children ... he's perfect for me!
Does he really have to meet her?
...
Not that I didn't see it coming! How I wish I could, damn ... How I wish I could live as I was supposed to. But not me, no, never me! Damn her! Hex her! F her ... Ha. Note my bitter sarcasm, will you. As if he hadn't already, that cheap slut. Why else would she have to marry at such a young age? She's only a disgrace to our family! ... sob ...
...
But the whole cake incident wasn't that funny at all. Don't know why my - dare I really say so? - husband keeps ranting about it non-stop. Other than that, it was quite a nice wedding ... 'Cept maybe that Mom wasn't there to celebrate with us. I guess, I miss her.
...
God, I swear I never let him get near me again! - That was my thought right after going into labour, but as it came out, I changed my mind and today ... But that's private! Not that anyone would, but there's still a possibility, is there not? Never mind, don't bother answering.
...
Did I mention, I miss her? I can't even remember how she looked, how she smelled. She had to leave, too soon. All because of her being ... No, I can't even write it down. Her 'ancestries'. Ugh! Being what I am, I am not entirely sure whom I loath more. Myself or Lily? Freak! Aren't I ..."
Vernon stared expressionless at the last page of his wife's diary. His mind was blank, as the letters started to blur before his eyes. What was that? Bits and pieces of his life with Petunia, portrayed by her as she still had been living, before- Vernon had never gotten the chance to meet his mother-in-law, as Petunia always hinted that she'd died many years ago. She didn't like to speak about it, so Vernon hadn't pressed the subject. Not that he had cared, in the first place, but Petunia had been his wife, and one should know his wife's mother, shouldn't one? It was just normal to do so. His sister-in-law, Lily, was another story. From the very beginning of their relationship, Petunia had made it crystal clear that Lily was a freak, and that she didn't want to have anything to do with her. Vernon, of course, had complied. He wasn't one for the 'unnatural' or the 'freakish', he was the kind of man who wanted nothing more than a wife, 2.5 children, maybe even a dog, all in a nice house with garden and a plain white fence. Everything out of order not only made him afraid, but also angered him, for he didn't need his neighbours to think he himself was weird, too. Reading the last paragraphs of Petunia's diary again, Vernon wondered what she had tried to say. What where her mother's 'ancestries' and what did she mean by 'freak, aren't I'? It couldn't be as his mind wanted to tell him, the widower thought numbly.
"No." Vernon opened the window in his compartment and threw the tiny book out of the driving train, leaving the last reminder of his lost family behind. "Sleep well."

Kateri1: Thank you for your review 60 points to Ravenclaw. As you saw, no, the fact that they are related will not come out. Both of them know, either knowing that the other knows too, or being oblivious, and it will stay that way. Maybe there'll be a short Sequel, I don't know yet
Nadezhda: Thank you very much! 30 points to you
scythe21: 20 points to Slytherin! I don't care if only ten people read my FF's, as long as those ten like it! Greetings to your friends
Persephone Lupin: Thank you! I believe you that your PC didn't upload the review, but I can't give you more than 15 points ... Not that it matters, anyway Slytherin can't but win! Yep, you did miss the dead of most of the Dursleys. Harry thought about it in the very first chapter and in the first flashback, Voldemort said he 'used their blood to get into Hogwarts' wards', or anything like that. And even if they were alive, Snape wouldn't be Harry's sole wizard relative, as Petunia was a squib sob I don't want Tonks to be Snape's daughter, because it was my very first pairing I read and I absolutely love it heul It's unnerving! But I think she might be, because of her mother (Andromeda - bitte, wie offensichtlich ist das?), but maybe Perseus only refers to him being an orphan ... How long do you think we'll have to wait until we can know for sure? 5 years? You write a new story? mein interesse ist schon geweckt Uh, hast du einen Beta? Wenn nicht (und auch wenn schon), darf ich dir eine sehr wichtige Frage stellen? räusper Darf ich dein Beta sein? Ich gelobe hoch und heilig alle mir auffallenden Fehler nach meinem besten Gewissen zu entfernen, deine Schrift zu ehren und deinen Stil zu bewundern, so wahr mir Merlin helfe hand über brust Ja? Ja? Bitte?
Oh yes, Schwab's 'Die schönsten Sagen des klassischen Altertums', are my favourites! I actually have them right now in reaching range, the Perseus myth is one of the very first and I liked it because it was one of the very few where the hero and the heroine actually stayed together (I think so, at least) Every other myth I remember ends devastating, even though that's not often common knowledge. Take Jason and Medea for example. After the Argonauten journey, they were happy for twenty years or so and then Jason wanted to get rid of her and marry the princess, then she killed their children (and the princess) and became an Erinnye and he killed himself. Penelope married the son of her dead husband Odysseus (she wasn't the mother) But I think Perseus (who was quite a show-off, btw, but he was quite subtle in doing so) and Andromeda stayed together till their end. The sixth book will surly give much more hints about Tonks' parentage.
Okay, I took the hint, so you're 36? It's unbelievable for me that not only teens are reading my fics Es ist ein bisserl komisch, darf ich noch du sagen? Oh, grad hab ich gesehen dass am Donnerstag, 13. Mai Servatius Namenstag hat. Muss wohl mein Glückstag sein
