Part 2 The Ghost of Christmas Past

Petunia's alarm clock buzzed at midnight. Petunia saw a childish spirit wearing a white gown and with bright lights on the spirit's head and asked, "Who are you and what do you want?"

The spirit said holding out her hand, "I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past. Take my hand."

Petunia protested, "I rather not."

The spirit insisted, "Take my hand, now."

Petunia took the Ghost of Christmas Past's hand flew to her childhood home in Manchester, England. Petunia saw her younger self when she was ten and Lily when she was eleven opening Christmas presents and giggling while their mum and dad watched.

The Ghost of Christmas Past asked calmly, "Do you remember this Christmas?"

Petunia said smiling, "That was the best Christmas ever because Lily and I had so much fun."

The Ghost of Christmas Past said nicely, "See you enjoyed Christmas with your family then; you didn't even care that Lily was witch back then."

The Ghost of Christmas Past took her to the Christmas in her 3rd year of Hogwarts were the younger Petunia and Lily were having snowball fight.

The younger Petunia yelled as throwing a snowball, "Look out Lily!"

Lily threw a snowball at Petunia and said, "Happy Christmas, Petunia!"

The younger Petunia said happily, "Merry Christmas to you, Lily. Let's get some hot chocolate."

Lily replied happily, "Sure, Nia." They both went inside.

The Ghost of Christmas Past took her to the Christmas ball in her 6th year with her boyfriend, Remus who was in his 7th year; everyone was dancing to Christmas music.

Petunia said, "Spirit, I don't want to see this one."

Remus said to the younger Petunia quietly, "I can't be with you; I'm a werewolf."

The younger Petunia said angrily, "Fine! Leave me!" She stormed out and ran into Lily.

Lily said angrily, "Watch it, Petunia!"

The younger Petunia yelled, "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, FREAK!"

Lily said angrily, "We're not sisters anymore!"

They both said, "Fine by that!"

Petunia demanded, "Spirit, take me home."

The Ghost of Christmas Past explained, "No, three more Christmases." They went to Petunia's first Christmas with her nephew. She watched the year old Dudley and Harry sitting by the Christmas tree; Dudley was ripping open his presents while Harry was playing with the wrapping paper. The younger Petunia took the wrapping paper away from Harry.

Petunia said feeling sorry, "I should have given Harry a Christmas present."

The Ghost of Christmas Past and Petunia flew to Harry's and Dudley's 5th Christmas. They watched the 5 year old Dudley unwrapping his presents while 5 year old Harry was just picking up the wrapping paper and candy wrappers.

Harry asked, "Aunt Petunia, don't I get a Christmas present?"

The younger Petunia answered handing him a shoe box, "Take it, boy!"

Petunia said sadly, "I'm sorry, Harry. Take one of Dudley's toy trucks."

The Ghost of Christmas Past explained, "They can't hear or see you or me." They went Petunia's last Christmas with Harry. They watched 10 year old Dudley opening his 50 Christmas presents while 10 year old Harry brought out hot chocolate for everyone except for himself.

Marge yelled, "Boy, take Ripper out, now!" Harry took Ripper out and the present day Petunia and The Ghost of Christmas Past watched poor Harry getting chased by Dudley, his friends, and Ripper.

Petunia said feeling sorry for her nephew, "Spirit, I want to go home."

Petunia was back in her bed.
