Petunia's fingers flew across the dense metallic keys. The sound was therapeutic to the girl, something that blended the line between Petunia and Lucy. They worked together as one, bringing stories and characters to life one word at a time. The line was blurring more and more as of late. Her two inner voices synced together like notes in a cord. They both had their own sound but they resonated together, becoming something stronger and more profound.

"Petunia…"

The girl held up a finger, quickly pausing the person speaking. She finished out the sentence she was on with practiced speed.

Relaxing her shoulders with a satisfied sigh, she turned to face the person speaking.

"Sorry 'bout that. What's up?"

"I-I'm sorry to interrupt you…" The student said, holding a small bit of paper in their hands. "I just don't understand this part…"

Petunia smiled sweetly, taking the paper.

"You don't need to worry about that Isabella. Don't hesitate to for help!" She looked down at the worksheet, nodding to herself. "Ah, yes. Integers are a little tricky at first."

The girl took the next few minutes explaining how they worked and why they were important in real life. Lucy had often found it difficult to recall math until it had 'real life' purpose, so she usually explained things along those lines.

"So… even if the seven is negative, it's still a seven?" The young student questioned.

"Yes! Exactly!" Petunia clapped.

The girl looked down at her worksheet, tongue in her cheek.

"So the absolute value of this one is seven… And that means this one is 4."

"You've got it!" Petunia was so proud watching things click in the girls mind. "Think you can handle the rest now?"

The young student nodded happily, leaving Petunia alone at the type writer once more.

Petunia's days were different since the meeting with Mr. Little. It took a while for them to come up with something everyone was happy with. Mr. Evans refused any mention of sending his daughter to school with 'grown' men. Angie still wanted Petunia to have a social life, being with other children and learning to get along with them. Lily wanted her sister close by, knowing that they only had a few years until the Hogwarts letter came and she'd have to leave.

Petunia wanted to work through school faster, perhaps testing out with in two years or so. Her plan was to keep going to school until Severus and Lily left for Hogwarts. After that, well… She wasn't sure yet. But she'd find something, no doubt.

Severus was the one who came up with a solution. Petunia would stay at the school as an assistant to the Librarian. Granted she passed her tests, she could work in the writing lab through the school day. She helped organize books sometimes, but usually she was left to her own projects.

She didn't mind one bit.

There were a good few children who sought her out for help like Isabella, but it was usually simple things that only took a minute or two to explain. Petunia did attend class to refresh her memory, but she'd finish her work and then slip out of class. None of the kids in her class minded, simply grateful Miss Stone was gone and Petunia was there for them if they needed her. Mr. Little was more than willing to help the girl fast track her education, having drafted up a plan to have her graduate.

The brunette smiled. Things had turned out better than she'd hoped.

Turning back to the type writer she read over the transcribed words with a smile. She needed to pack up soon, school was nearly done for the day.

Petunia was basically finished with the first book of the 'Hermione Super Spy' series, already having started working on the second book. If only she could come up with a good title. She wanted something eye catching, but original. Something kids would reach for and remember.

The girl was also debating on changing the characters names for this story. The characters were definitely inspired by Hermione and Draco, but it sounded much more fun to use their names in one of the books geared towards an older audience.

"Tunnie?" Lily's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Come on, let's go! Sev is waiting."

Petunia sighed, quickly putting per work away. She'd just have to keep thinking about it, sooner or later she'd come up with something. Hopefully sooner.

"WE'RE HOOOOOOME!" Lily shouted as she pushed her way into the house. No reply came, meaning Angie was off at a School board meeting and Jasper was off at work.

The three children were no surprised by this, Lily making a beeline for the fridge with Severus following after. Petunia stopped to grab the mail, flipping through the envelopes and sorting them. She froze, eyes going wide.

She looked up, making sure neither of the children had seen her reaction.

Lily was nearly inside the fridge, having pulled a stool over so aid her rummaging. Severus was getting some dishes down for them to eat off, wrinkling his nose at the mention of Tuna sandwiches.

Petunia slid the envelope away, tucking it into the pocket of her dress.

The hours past by slowly for Petunia. She had a snack with the kids and helped them with their homework. Angie arrived home soon after that, getting started on dinner and pulling all three children into help her. Once her Father arrived home they set about having a family meal. She tried to pay attention, she really did. But the letter in her pocket was practically on fire!

"What's got you so distracted Petunia? Trouble with your story?" Angie tilted her head questioningly.

"Oh… Yeah, you could say that." The girl paused, biting her bottom lip. "I'm trying to think of a good name for it."

"Hmmm… Maybe we can help?"

And with that, the discussion became centric on her story. Everyone was throwing out rather good idea's at first, but it quickly became a game of 'who can come up with the weirdest story name?'

"I'm just saying," Mr. Evans shook his for several times. "Sneak to Success has a nice ring to it."

"You're thinking to small Dad! This is a book series, it needs something to reflect that!" Lily nodded to herself. "I think you should stick with Hermione's name, it sounds so lovely! Something like, Hermione's Observations and Inferences on the Perspective Intelligence of other Teen Spies."

Petunia snorted, trying to stifle her laughter. That is the sort of thing Hermione would have written!

Lily stuck her tongue out in response, Petunia mirrored it back sending the two into a fit of giggles.

"What about, Spies and Prejudice: A Teenage Twist on Espionage." Angie cut in with a coy smile, pulling the girls attention.

"Ew!" Lily scowled. "That sounds sappy."

Petunia and Mr. Evans lost themselves in laughter. Even Severus had a thoroughly amused look on his face.

"You'll appreciate that sort of thing when you're older dear." Was the woman's knowing response. Her daughter rolled her eyes, swearing that would never happen.

Petunia gave it 4 years, tops.

Severus went on to suggest 'Infiltrating the Elite' while her father threw in 'How to Not Shoot Yourself with a Tranquilizer Gun, for dummies'. The way the man spoke, it was as if he had personal experience on the matter.

The entire conversation was reminiscent of dinner in her past life. Not quite as loud, but pleasant and fun. Petunia couldn't help but smile, enjoying the lovely moment with her family. Things really had changed quite a bit over the last few months, hadn't they?

**Knock Knock Knock**

The sound of the door surprised the family. Who on earth could be coming by at this time of night?

Notes: Oh... A letter and a guest at the door? :3 I wonder who that could be?
