Part 3 The Ghost of Christmas Present

Petunia woke up to her alarm clock going off at one o'clock and this time saw a giant spirit wearing red robes. Petunia said, "You're the ghost of Christmas Present. You are going what is going to happen tomorrow. Let's get it over with!"

The Ghost of Christmas Present and Petunia went to a small apartment where Lauren, her husband, and a boy with crutches who was like around ten and a girl who was eleven were sitting down for Christmas dinner.

Lauren said cheerfully, "Let's give a toast to Petunia,"

Mandy said annoyed, "But mum, she's the reasons that we're like this."

Nathaniel said, "Your mother is right even though she's a Scrooge."

Lauren said kindly, "To Petunia and Thank you for this lovely meal."

Little Lenny exclaimed, "God bless us, everyone!"

Petunia asked sadly, "Spirit, please tell me what is wrong Little Lenny?

The Ghost of Christmas Present answered, "He has Ewing's sarcoma in his lower right leg."

Petunia asked sadly, "Will the boy survive?"

The Ghost of Christmas Present said sadly, "I see an empty chair by the fire in the future."

Petunia said sadly, "The charity collectors and Harry were right I was a Scrooge." The Ghost of Christmas Present and Petunia appeared at Potter Manor where they saw Harry, his girlfriend Hermione, Ron, Luna, Ginny, Remus, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Arthur, Molly, Tonks, and Moody having a good time.

Harry said joyfully, "Guess what my aunt said to me yesterday?"

Hermione said excited, "I don't know!"

Harry replied laughing, "She said "Christmas is a Bah Humbug." What a Scrooge at least Scrooge learned his lesson and changed his ways. She been like that ever since Vernon left her for some model"

Hermione said laughing, "She really needs to get it together."

Harry said holding up his mug, "To Aunt Petunia. We hope you have a Merry Christmas!" They all drink.

Petunia said regretting what she said to Harry, "I should've said yes to Harry. It looks like fun."

Voldemort apparated into the house and said coldly, "Potter, you'll die today. CRUCIO!"

Petunia asked afraid, "Spirit, will Harry survive the attack from Voldemort?"

The Ghost of Christmas Present replied sadly, "No, he won't survive the attack unless a family member shows him love. I have to go." He opened his robes to reveal two poor children.

Petunia asked, "Are they yours, spirit?"

The spirit replied, "They're mankind's children. The boy is Ignorance and the girl is Want. Beware of the boy! I have to go now."

The spirit was gone and Petunia left in the middle of the street.
