Birthday Shocks

It was just about to be 12am, the family found themselves in an old shabby shack, Vernon had made sure that the boy would go to that school. But he wasn't worried about the boy, he was more worried about his wife, ever since the boy had gotten his first letter, she's been fussing over how he should treat the freaks at that so-called-school, and so far he had not been able to stop her. But Petunia had other ideas, she had made sure that she had her wand, just in case something did happen to them.

Petunia woke with a start, she heard Vernon shout from the front room, "GET THE BLOODY OUT OF HERE, YOU FREAK!"

She would have died, it if wasn't for her son, but no it wasn't her son, as she slowly very slowly went to go check on what made Vernon shout so bloody loud, Petunia's heart leaped with joy, as she came into the living room, she heard a farmiliar silky smooth velvet voice say, "I'm only here to speak to Mr. Potter, if you don't mind."

She slowly walked into the room, from behind, she pulled out her wand, ready to attack if needed, as she turned to glare at the intruder, she froze, it wasn't everyday that you have Severus Snape in the living room. She didn't know what to say, all she heard was Vernon shouting, she stared at the man in black standing in front of them, it all didn't matter now that she was standing in front of her true love, she said, "Who are you?"

Severus Snape didn't want to have anything to do with the Muggles, but when Petunia Dursley had walked in, his mind went blank, there was no way that she could have this affect on him, he tried to ignore her, but his eyes were glue on her, as she turned to look at him, her features slightly softening a bit, and she asked who he was.

His only response was, "Tuney?"

Petunia said, "Snape!?"

Severus grinned at his friend, and said joyfully, "Tuney!"

She ran up to him, pinning him to the door, and she said icily, "If I were you, Snape, I'd remember who I am..."

She leaned away, and said, "Vernon, please take Dudly out of the room."

Vernon said, "Petunia-"

Petunia said, "Vernon, take Dudly out of the room!"

He just took his son out of the room, all the while wondering what was really going on with his wife. Once they both were out, Petunia pointed her wand at Severus's chest, he tried to not get too friendly with her, but when he found himself at the end of her wand, he simply said, "T-T-Tuney?"

She said, "You should be glad that to see me again, Snape. I was positive that you would at least be happy to see me after nearly Thirty Bloody Years apart!"

Severus said, "What? What do you-"

She cut in, and said, "What do I mean, you say? What Do I Mean!? You tell me what do I mean!?"

He said, "What are you talking about, Tuney?"

She put up the Silent Charm around her and Severus, and she shouted, "I THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD RETURN, SEVERUS!? WHY DIDN'T YOU COME BACK TO ME! I WAITED FOR YOU FOR NEARLY THIRTY BLOODY YEARS! THIRTY YEARS, SEVERUS! AND NOT ONCE DID YOU EVER COME BACK!"

Severus said, "Tuney-"

She said, "NO! YOU LEFT ME, YOU MADE ME SUFFER WITH BIG FAT MUGGLES!"

He saw tears in her eyes, he didn't like the sight of Petunia in tears, he didn't know what to do, so he did the only thing that he thought of, he slowly made her drop her wand, and gently pulled her in for a hug.

Petunia only cried her heart out, they both didn't notice Vernon standing there, rage and confusion in his purple face, Severus only held her close, it was like she was wanting to cry for years now.

Severus found himself unable to get Petunia out of his unconscious mind, Petunia had calmed down enough to regain some of her emotions and control of herself, however Vernon was furious with Severus for not leaving his family alone, and he was also confused to why his wife was fussing around the bat that had showed up.

Petunia was in a frenzy, when she had calmed down, she was about to put her wand away, when Severus said to her in a low voice, "Dose he know?"

She said, "Of course not..."

He took her wand, and said, "Since I remember nothing of you being my wife..."

She gasped, and said, "What?"

He said, "I think Dumbledore had-"

She grabbed her wand from him, and shouted, "He's going to pay! That old coot is going to regret TAKING my husband away from me!"

Vernon was about to say something, when Severus said, "Tuney! Calm-"

She glared at him, and snapped, "No! I'm not going to calm down! And don't call me Tuney! How many times do I-"

Harry was only quiet, he didn't know what was going on, and so he said, "Aunt Petunia?"

Petunia said, "Don't ask questions, boy!"

Severus said, "Petunia!"

Vernon snarled, "Freak, don't you talk that way to my wife!"

Severus said, "Your wife? She's-"

Vernon said, "Petunia, don't listen to him!"

She said, "You're right, Vernon, I shouldn't listen to him. Why would I listen to someone like you!"

Vernon said, "What-"

She turned to glare at him, her wand in her hand, and she said, "You-"

Severus said, "No, Tuney!"

He grabbed her wand, threw it on the other side of the room, she turned to look at him, but instead he pulled out a letter, and said as he handed it to Harry, "Here's your letter, Potter. My name's Severus Snape, Head of Slytherin House and Potions Master at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hope that you'll make it."

Harry said, "What's going on...?"

He turned back to Petunia, and said, "Well, it was nice seeing you again, Tuney. Love to chitchat, but have to return back to Hogwarts."

All she said was, "Sev..."

And with that, Severus made his way back to Hogwarts, with a head full of questions.

Petunia watched in sadness as her true love left, she turned to Harry, and said, "Hope you're in my house when you get there."

Harry said, "You knew!"

Vernon snarled, "Of course we did! How do you think she found out about your parents!"

Petunia said, "Ignore him, Harry. He's just in one of his moods again."

Harry's eyes widened, and he said, "How'd you know, Aunt Petunia? How do you know about my parents?"

Her next words shocked not only him, but also Vernon as well, she took a deep breath, went over to pick up her wand, turned to face both of them, and said proudly, "I'm one of you of course. Yes, that's right, Vernon, I'm a freak just like my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew!"

With that, she changed her appearance, standing in front of them wasn't blonde haired, long neck, boney, scared Petunia Dursley, but red haired, bright green eyed, proud Petunia Snape.
