Second drabble for the Despised Characters challenge on xoxLewrahxox's forum: Vernon Dursley.
Despised Characters
Write a drabble featuring a character/ship that you despise. This is NOT an opportunity for character/ship bashing. Instead it should be a serious attempt to portray the hated character(s) in a positive light.
He has achieved everything. He has a house, an expensive car, a wife, a son.
He has risen from his social background. He left his home, earned his money, courted and married calm, discreet, middle-class Petunia Evans. His parents died in their squalor and he managed to marry Marge off to a colleague with an uncanny fondness for dogs, who even had the graciousness to die soon after – though she claims he had fallen under the curse of her addictive personality.
He has everything to boast about. He and his family are fulfilled.
The only problem is that boy.
