Chapter 3 – A sudden change of heart BACK HOME…"So… Having fun?" Petunia asked sarcastically.
"What a stupid question! Of course! I'm going to Hogwarts… because I'm a witch! Who's not going to be exited?"
"Me," Said a slightly aggravated voice.
I looked at Petunia, who was glaring at me. "What? I can't help it if you are a muggle." I bit my lip. 'Stupid Lily!' I roared in my head. I should have never said that.
Petunia rounded on me, and stretched her long neck, making herself look much, much taller than me. "I'm your older sister. I should be the witch. I deserve it. What have you done?"
I was scared. "I… I…"
"You what? You did nothing! All my life I have had to work hard for everything, while you easily passed all your years with higher grades than what I had got. And then you found out you were a witch. You're a big hit there at the wizarding world, aren't you? You and your boyfriend."
I was confused. "Who?"
"The guy you 'met' at the tailoring shop."
"Oh… Him! Petunia, he just happened to be there. I can't even remember how we started to talk…"
"BUT YOU STILL DID, DIDN'T YOU?"
I heard the car backing into the driveway. 'Just a little while longer…' I thought.
"WHAT ARE YOU SMILING ABOUT?"
I realised I had been, and wiped any further expression away. The key was being turned in the lock…
Petunia instantly calmed down. "So… that plan didn't work now, did it? Mum and dad are back, and I'm calmly talking to you."
I tried not to get angry at Petunia. "Yes, that's right. I AM smarter than you. The letter WAS sent to the wrong person. WASN'T it?" Petunia had, by now, gotten me into the corner of my bedroom.
I nodded my head, terrified.
"Now, you're going to tell mum and dad just that, won't you?"
I nodded again.
"We're home!" Shouted mum from downstairs. "Anybody there?"
"Yup!" Shouted Petunia. "Just remember what I said." Petunia muttered, ordering me to do so.
My head had become a ship in stormy weather, bobbing up and down with so much movement that I thought it would fall off. Then again, in the magical world, that just might happen.
I heard footsteps, and realised that it was dad running up the stairs. When he reached the top, I heard him say in-between breaths something about being sorry, that they never should have disbelieved me in the first place, and that they were very happy that I actually was a witch.
Petunia looked at me from her new great height, daring me to not go along to her plan. "Actually, it's Petunia that's the witch. The letter got messed up. We got an explanation letter this afternoon."
Dad, once again, was in disbelief. "I seriously doubt that magic could make a mistake. Then again, congratulations Petunia!"
Mum had, by now, made it up the stairs. "Petunia's the witch?" She looked at the two of us, and knew at once that it wasn't true. Smiling broadly, she said, "well done, Petunia."
Long neck (My new nickname for Petunia) decided to take the compliment. "Why, thanks. Who knew?" She put on a modest mask. Only mum and I knew what was behind it.
I ran away, and climbed up our backyard tree. 'I still have my wand,' I thought in between sobs. I pulled it out of my pocket and willed Petunia dead as I looked at it.
Far away, I heard a scream. My attitude instantly changed. I raced into our house and up the stairs to find Petunia alive.
But, oh did she have a case of the sneezes! "AAAAAAAACHOOO!" She yelled, bashing herself against the wall in force. She saw me. "I'M GOING TO… AAAAAAAAACHOO! KILL YOU… AAAAACHOOOO! …YOU MURDEROUS NO-GOOD…. AAAAAAAAAAAACHOOOOO! …WITCH!"
I smiled. "Do you need any help?" I innocently asked.
"WHAT DOES…. AAAAAAAAACHOOOOOOO! …IT LOOK LIKE?"
"Well, it looks like you need some rest. You have a violent case of the sneezes."
"JUST STOP IT! AAAAAAAAAAAAACHOOOOOOO!"
"Why?" My smile had taking the form of a revengeful snigger.
"I'LL LET YOU BE… AAAAAAACHOOOOOOOO! …THE WITCH AGAIN."
"Fine." I willed her to be fine. And she was.
"Thanks, Lily."
"Anytime." I grinned.
"Oh, shut up."
"Or what?"
"OR…" Petunia stopped herself. "Nothing."
"Now go tell mum and dad."
"Fine." Petunia spat at me and ran off to tell the truth.
Go the younger sister. Go me.
