CHAPTER TWO: NEWTs, CONTENTMENT & DIVORCE
Number 4 Privet Drive was full of rage and anger. All hell was breaking loose. Dudley Dursley was not sure how much he could take of his parents' fighting. Petunia and Vernon had been at each other's throats ever since they left last July to go into hiding. Petunia had been starting to accept the wizarding world her sister had been involved in, since they had been in hiding. Vernon was still being pig headed about the idea of the Magic World in general.
And now her only nephew had survived the most feared person since Hitler. Petunia felt nothing but pride for Harry being alive to continue the Evans family blood. Vernon on the other hand, once he'd gotten back to their ordinary home and ordinary life, wanted nothing more to do with her nephew and "all that nonsense" as he calls her sister and nephew's world.
Petunia decided to ask for help to escape the abusive thug that she had married. She knew only one person could help her.

Harry was with Ginny watching some American military law drama on the television in the living room when Mrs Weasley came in carrying an envelope which she dropped in Harry's lap,
"The postman dropped this off for you, dear," said Mrs Weasley as she did so, before walking back out into the Kitchen.
"Wonder who it's from, Gin?" Harry inquired to the girl nuzzled into his side as he attempted to open the "ordinary" envelope and read the letter within:
Dear Harry,
I'm sorry for everything that Vernon, Dudley and I put you through.
The reason I am writing to you is to ask for your urgent help.
The relationship Vernon and I have is no longer working like it did before and I have decided to divorce him. I need your help to escape from him cleanly.
Since you left last July, Vernon has been abusive and a bully to both me and Dudley.
I am afraid of what he will do to both of us.
I hope you can help.
With love,
Aunt Petunia Evans
"And this is the woman that you thought had no feelings in her for you?"
"Yeah maybe she does after all, she just never showed them towards me until now," replied Harry.
"Maybe. Now tell me: What is with Rabb in this show? Why doesn't he get together with Mac already?"

In a comfortable cottage, in the second bedroom, sat a young boy and his even younger girlfriend. Neither cared about age, only how they felt together. Thomas and Brianna were watching a movie on Brianna's television, holding hands on the floor and Thomas straddling Brianna in his lap as they did so, feeling very content.
Brianna turned her head, as she had already did multiple times, to look at her handsome sixteen year old boyfriend. Thomas looked at her at the same time smiling as he did so. He nuzzled her neck softly and kissed her shoulder. Thomas and Brianna were very content to just sitting there hand-in-hand sitting on the floor with his arms around her. With not a problem in the world.
Unfortunately the night had to end and as Thomas hugged and kissed the petite fourteen year old on the cheek goodnight, and headed off to the spare bedroom he often stayed in since they began dating two summers previously, he knew he'd never felt happier with anyone else, than how he felt with Brianna Jones.
Thomas found himself sleeping the best he had in a very long time, with the only thoughts on his mind being ones of the one he knew he would spend the rest of his life with, even at his age, and he knew Brianna felt the same about him.

Meanwhile at the Burrow Aunt Petunia and Dudley were happier than ever without Vernon and his anger issues around them.
Harry and Ginny were both right they were different towards him, and really cared underneath everything.
HPGW
Today was the day Harry and Ginny would take Aunt Petunia to the Surrey Family Court to apply for a divorce between Vernon and Aunt Petunia, and to apply for a removal of all rights of Vernon to see Dudley ever again.
Once the case was heard and upheld, the weight was off Aunt Petunia's shoulders, and the new Minister for Magic, had seen to it personally that Vernon's memory was wiped of anything to do with the Magical World, Harry, Petunia and Dudley. So Petunia and Dudley could restart their lives a fresh without any worries. Both of them changed their surnames to Evans, Petunia's sister and Harry's mum's maiden name, and also applied for jobs at Hogwarts.
Petunia had a degree in Nursing as well as Business, so Minerva had seen to it that Petunia could train to be a Healer stationed Hogwarts under Madam Pomfrey and Nurse Wainscott. Dudley on the other hand, who had no job qualifications at all, ended up as Assistant Caretaker to Filch.
So in the end Aunt Petunia and Dudley were happy with their newfound freedom at Hogwarts and in the Wizarding World and knew they could seek help from Harry anytime they needed it.
