Rewritten Chapter 2:

It had been two weeks since Petunia and Dudley left their home leaving
Vernon unconscious on the floor of the kitchen Petunia had called and talked
to Vernon but she refused to tell him where they were and he refused to go
to the police because he would have to tell them why she left and took
Dudley with her and he was already ashamed and embarrassed enough.

Petunia was debating on whether or not to try and go home to see if Vernon
could deal with it or just stay here and wait longer.

Dudley was doing a lot better now, away from his father he didn't get
everything he wanted and he hadn't asked for anything that he didn't need
since they had left, he had been relatively quiet and had spent most of his
time outside.

Petunia was a bit worried about him but she figured it was just his way of
handling the situation she had to go back and explain everything that he
knew all over again so he would understand why Vernon acted like he did, why
he hated Harry and why they never spoke about Harry's parents.

He had taken it well or well for him, he had plenty of questions ones that
Petunia couldn't answer. That upset her because she wanted to make Dudley
feel more comfortable but she couldn't because she knew just as much as he
did about the magical world. She should have known more considering that her
sister had been a witch but she didn't.

She wished that she had an owl or something to get in touch with the man who
dropped Harry off on her doorstep, so she could get answers to her son's
questions. She knew how to get to the school she had been with Lily her
first time going off to school her parents had made her come to see her
sister off even though she firmly stated that she couldn't care less about
her sister and where she was going and how long she was going to be gone.

Dudley was presently outside throwing rocks at the pond that was near the
apartment they were staying in, she could see him from the window and wasn't
worried their landlord kept a close watch on them mostly because she didn't
trust them.

Petunia took this opportunity to call her husband while Dudley was outside
playing. She waited patiently for him to pick up the phone and was a bit
disappointed when he didn't, she figured that he had been given enough time
to cool down and she decided that they would leave at the beginning of next
week she would take Dudley and go home and try to work this out, if it could
even be worked out.

Dudley came in twenty minutes later soaked.

" Dudley what happened to you?" she asked him as she rushed to get him dried
off.

" I fell in the pond." He said pouting at this statement,

" How did you fall in the pond?" she asked him trying to dry him off.

" I was trying to catch the fish with my hands and it didn't work and I fell
in.," said Dudley aggravated.

Petunia sighed, " be careful next time." She told him handing him the towel
so he could finish drying himself off. " There's clean clothes in the back
room darling." She told him as he went off to change.

He came back a few minutes later dryer than he had been before and sat down
at the table, " mom I'm hungry." He said which was his way of asking for
food.

" Alright let me see what we have," said Petunia going through the cabinets.

Petunia found something easy to cook and fixed it.

After she and Dudley had eaten she decided to tell him that they would be
going back next week. " Dudley," she said getting her son's attention, "
We're leaving next week we're going home."

" Why?" asked Dudley he thought they weren't going home that they were going
to stay here from now on.

" We have to go home Dudley and try to get along with your father if not we
can always leave again or make him leave." She said.

" All right," said Dudley.

A week later they were headed home in the car they got home around nine o
clock at night.

Petunia opened the door and walked in the kitchen to find Vernon sitting at
the table reading his paper acting like nothing was wrong.

He looked up, " you're home I see, I hope you didn't bring that freak with
you."

" Don't call him that Vernon." Said Petunia.
" I'll call him whatever I want to call him and he is a freak, he got
letters from the other freaks after you left so I say he's a freak." He said
putting his paper down.

" He's your son Vernon," she yelled at him, " how can you talk about your
son like that?" she asked him.

" Easy he's a freak just like your nephew and your sister and her husband."
He said, " and if you've brought him with you I'm leaving."

" Leave then!" she yelled at him.

He glared at her then stood up and went upstairs he came back down five
minutes later and slammed the door behind him as he left.

" Is he leaving for good?" asked Dudley walking into the kitchen.

" I don't know Dudley." She said.

A few days at home and Dudley was back to his normal self demanding
everything that he could want and getting most of what he asked for.

Petunia sighed she wished that she hadn't allowed Vernon to spoil him so
much, he really did get almost everything that he wanted and if Vernon
stayed gone then she wasn't going to be able to afford to give him
everything he asked for.

She sighed again wishing everything were normal back to before Harry was
kidnapped and for the first time she wished that her nephew was still here.

She knew that he would probably never be here again and that nothing was
ever going to be normal again.

She looked outside watching Dudley play with his friends.

She hadn't heard from Vernon for a few weeks and was starting to wonder
where he had gone and what she was going to do if he came back as it was
obvious that he had no intentions of trying to deal with the fact that his
son could do magic.

She looked outside again to find a totally different scene than the last
time she looked out the window, before she had seen Dudley playing with his
friends now she saw people out in the street yelling and screaming and a few
seconds later she heard a knock on her door.

She rushed to answer the door and was surprised to see Arabella Figg
standing in her doorway out of breath, " Dudley's been hit by a car,"

Petunia was too shocked to speak who would do that and then she saw the car
that had done it, ' Vernon,' was the first thought that popped into her head
as she began running to where her son lay in the street.

She arrived to see that only his legs had been run over and he was going to
live but Petunia could also see that both of his legs were broken and
squashed and she doubted that he would ever walk again.

She turned to look for Vernon it was his car but where was he, she found him
a few feet away laughing hysterically and something snapped she walked
straight up to her Husband and decked him.

As soon as her fist hit his face he stopped laughing and stared at her like
she was mad. He didn't have time to defend himself from the onslaught of
punches, slabs, and kicks that were being given to him by his wife, soon to
be ex wife.

Petunia couldn't bring herself to stop hitting him once she had started she
was angry and she right now she didn't care if she killed him, seeing as
that's what he had just tried to do to their son.

It was a few minutes later that an Ambulance arrived and took both Dudley
and Petunia to the hospital; they had to drag her away from her husband as
she was still venting her anger on him when it arrived.

Petunia had calmed down a bit and had taken to running her fingers through
her son's hair. She looked up and watched as they passed the closest
hospital. " Where are you going?" she asked them frantically, " the Hospital
was right there."

One of the Paramedics turned around to face her, " Arabella called us she
said you might need to go to St.Mungo's instead of a regular hospital." The
man said.

Petunia was confused and then it dawned on her that these people were
Wizards. " Do you usually use Ambulances and why are you taking us to
St.Mungo's?" she asked him she could have sworn she heard her sister talking
about the St.Mungo's it was a hospital for magical injuries and Dudley's
injuries had nothing to do with magic.

" No we don't this is actually just a regular car charmed to look like a
muggle ambulance." The man explained. " We're taking him to St.Mungo's
because he needs Magical treatment or else he won't be able to walk.
Normally we don't take muggles there even if they have a connection with the
Wizarding World, but Dumbledore requested it he says that your boy is a
future student of Hogwarts."

Petunia nodded letting it all sink in, she hadn't really thought about if
she was going to send Dudley or not, she had figured that she would decide
when the time came, but she guessed now she really had no other place to
send him.

They arrived at the Hospital and Dumbledore was already there waiting for
them. Dudley was rushed somewhere else while Dumbledore pulled Petunia aside
to talk to her.

Petunia tried to argue, she wanted to follow Dudley but she knew that she
wasn't going to be able to do so.

" Ah, Petunia" said Dumbledore once they were somewhere they could talk. " I
see you've been having a rough time lately."

Petunia just nodded in reply.

" Have you thought of what's going to happen now? Where are you going to
live? Are you going to work? Are you going to send Dudley to Hogwarts, those
sorts of things." Said Dumbledore obviously wanting or rather expecting an
answer.

" I don't know," she said, " Is he going to be all right? What's going to
happen to Vernon? How will I get Dudley school supply's if I do send him to
Hogwarts."

" Calm down, calm down," said Dumbledore, " one question at a time, we can
start with will Dudley be okay, my opinion is yes he will be fine he might
be a little overwhelmed psychologically but otherwise he will be fine we
have the best Witches and Wizards working here and they'll have your son
patched up in no time."

Petunia let out a sigh of relief.

" Now for your next question, what will happen to Vernon, we have him in
custody and he will be charged by a wizard court instead of a muggle one and
he will be put into a wizard prison to make sure he will not escape." Said
Dumbledore, " now for your last question you can exchange muggle currency at
Gringots for the money you will need to purchase Dudley's school supply's.
You will be given directions on how to get to the places that sell the
supplies Dudley will need."

Petunia nodded again, " I don't know what to do about the house I don't know
where I'm going to stay now." She said.

Dumbledore smiled, " your sister came to me some time before she died and
gave me a large amount of money that she had been saving and asked me to put
it into an account incase something like this happened if you would ever
need money you would have, I must say it has grown over the years so there's
more now than there was years ago."

Petunia was shocked why would her sister do something like that for her she
had made it clear that she hated Lily and she thought the Lily had hated her
too, obviously she was wrong.

Dumbledore could tell what was wrong, " You may not have gotten along with
your sister, Petunia, but even so she still worried about you and cared
about you even if you thought she did not."

Petunia nodded again, " so I can continue to live at privet drive and raise
Dudley there," she asked him.

" If that's what you wish to do." He said softly, " Ah I believe that
someone has come to get you to bring you to see your son." He said referring
to the man who had appeared out of thin air behind Petunia.

Petunia turned around and saw the man behind her, she turned around to thank
Dumbledore but he was already gone.

" Follow me please." Said the man behind her. She followed him and they
quickly arrived at Dudley's room. Petunia couldn't help but stare at the
moving pictures and the strange objects around her.

" Hey mum," said Dudley from the bed he looked a lot better, and a lot
lighter.

" Dudley?" she asked not believing that it was her son.

" Yeah," he said smiling, " what's going to happen to dad, and where are
we?"

Petunia sighed, " Your father is going to jail for a very long time Dudley
and we're in a Wizard Hospital called St.Mungo's

" Oh," was all that Dudley said.

" Are you his mother?" asked a feminine voice behind Petunia.

" Yes, I am," said Petunia turning around, " why?"

" Come out here with me for a second." Said the woman.

Petunia followed the woman out of the door and into the hallway; the woman
shut the door and put a spell on the door.

" What did you do?" asked Petunia.

" It's just a silencing spell." She explained, " now what on earth have you
been feeding that boy he was dangerously overweight for a boy his age."

Petunia was shocked that this woman had the audacity to tell her something
like that, even if it was true. " I," said Petunia starting to say something
and then she thought better of it and cut herself off. " What did you give
him?" she asked knowing that the woman had given him something for his
weight.

" A simple potion that's all and I'm going to give a you a few potions to
put in his food for a few weeks to stop him from craving junk food, so he
can keep all that extra weight off." She said looking at Petunia to make
sure she understood what was expected of her.

Petunia nodded, " how are his legs?" she asked.

" They're fine and will continue to be fine, you're lucky he's here instead
of a muggle hospital they would have amputated them." Said the woman turning
to walk away.

Petunia reached out a hand to stop her from leaving, the woman turned around
and looked at her, " Thank You." Said Petunia.

The woman nodded and walked down the hallway leaving Petunia standing in the
hallway.
