Prologue Part II
Petunia has had to deal with a lot of things over her lifetime, with the reveal of her sister having magic, and the learning of a war going on behind the scenes of a peaceful Britain. But to be trapped within this town, where the sun will no longer rise?
There has been nothing that has ever been similar to this. It was only a few minutes after Vernon had noticed the lack of a sun that the magicals dropped into town and told everyone that they have trapped them all here. Only those with magic are able to enter or leave, and they have no intention of lifting the spells they have put at the boundaries of the town. That had been two weeks ago now, and it's already causing problems. Many of the residents of Surly worked outside of the town, meaning that people like her wonderful husband are now unable to provide income for their families.
Not that the wizards care.
To make matters worse, there is Rose.
The women put down the plate that she was cleaning to look at the red eyed child, wondering what to do. Sure, before all of this she would hate the child, they were a symbol of abnormality forced into their perfectly normal life. But now that seems almost trivial when compared to the fact that she hasn't
seen the sun in two weeks! She did at first want to blame the baby for what happened, but she simply couldn't keep that up. The baby has nothing to do with the loss of the sun, nor did she have any choice in what has happened.
Then again it's probably do to
luck that the baby is still alive...
Who the hell drops a baby on a doorstep, in the middle of the night, IN NOVEMBER?!
"If I ever find out who left her here like that, I will slap them."
Then again, she at least knows who sent the child. The letter dropped off with the child was from on Headmaster Dumbledore, and the gall he had to threaten them into taking in her niece. Telling her how if they don't take the child in that they would likely be tortured to death simply for being related to the child, and that if they don't take Rose in that the protections around them would fall.
Of course, since the child was just dropped onto their doorstep they didn't even have a choice in the matter. Then again Rose is lucky that her husband is rather perceptive, because if he hadn't seen her before stepping out the door...
She didn't want to think about that.
Of course, her niece's arrival came with other news. Petunia didn't get along with her sister, she wouldn't deny that.
But she didn't hate the women, in fact, she really did come to regret her actions when she lost Lilly the first time. When she watched her sister every summer come back and talk more and more about magic and the world, she realized one summer that her sister wasn't going to come back to the normal world, that she was losing her. But she didn't know how to tell her that she was sorry. She had been so happy when she had seen that Lilly had come to her and Vernon's wedding.
But she brought
that man.
She didn't understand how her sister could love that man and honestly was quite upset to learn that she had learned that her sister was married and she was not invited to the wedding. Then again, given what she knows about the magical world, she really did question her sisters love for the man. The women
hated that man, then one year she wouldn't stop going on about how romantic he was, and how amazing he was.
Considering that only a couple months earlier she called him a creepy stalker that attacked her best friend, and that twisted world considered that date rape drug they call love potions romantic...
She couldn't see her sister falling in love with him, and she can't even try to figure out if she's wrong about the whole thing, if he actually changed and she had good reasons to fall for him.
Now that she's lost her sister.
Walking over to the red eyed girl, the last memory of her sister. She smiled as she picked up the girl and held her in her arms.
She won't fail her sister again, not when this is all she has left.
