When Everything Changes (REWRITE) [HIATUS]

Chapter 11

*Memory Petunia's POV*
It was a cold October night, my son, my husband and I were just enjoying our evening near the fireplace when I suddenly heard the doorbell ring. I open the door only to find a small bundle in a basket with a letter in the blanket. I pick the baby up and call Vernon-my husband- to show him this. Who would abandon a baby?! I then read the letter, Lilly's child? They're dead?! Did Lily even have a child?! Vernon saw my very confused and horrified face and asked,"what's wrong?" "This is Lily's son…Lily and James are dead…" "They're dead?! Wait did Lily even have a son? And if she did, didn't she tell you? I thought you both figured out your differences after her marriage?"

"We did. But Lily never told me she had a son. He's just 15 months old! She did disappear for a few months without any word so I thought something in the wizarding world was going on…" I tell him feeling more confused than ever. "We'll raise him as ours then. This child deserves a family." Vernon said. We both agreed on that and laid Harry in Dudley's-my son-old crib.

#a few months later#
I was feeding Harry when suddenly an old man with a long white beard appeared in the dining room. It was Dumbledore, Lily had told me all about him, he was the headmaster of Hogwarts. "Dumbledore? What are you doing here?" I asked. I am here to see how you are treating this child. "What do you mean?" Vernon asked. "He is my weapon and you are going to do exactly what I tell you to with him." "Absolutely not!! He is a kid!" Dumbledore glared at me and suddenly I felt as if I had no control over my body and mind. "You are going to abuse and break him. Mentally and physically. If you don't I will kill."

"We will abuse and break him, mentally and physically. We will do exactly as you say." He nodded and vanished.
#Memory over#

The rest of the memories were all normal with chores, Dudley and my abuse. I was seething at this point. 'HOW DARE HE?!! NOT ONLY DID HE KIDNAP ME FROM MY PARENTS BUT EVEN MADE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL BY CONTROLLING MY OTHERWISE CARING MUGGLE GUARDIANS!!' My familiars all saw the memories and understood my shift in emotions because they all took an attacking stance as if they would tear apart anything that comes near me.

I took a few deep breaths trying to reign in my temper. Once I was under control I broke the control spell Dumbledore put my muggle guardians under. I then undid the sleeping spell I put them under. After their initial surprise wore off, there were a lot of apologies and explanations. Once that was all done, I was on my way to the cafe which I saw in my vision. Once I reached the cafe, I ordered a black coffee and sat at a seat near the window. It was 10 pm right now and Dumbledore was due to come here at about 11 pm. I sighed and read a newspaper while sipping my coffee. After about fifteen minutes I got bored-obviously- and decided to go to my mindscape and work on my occlumency shields.

I made it look like Hogwarts- the first level to get into my head was the Hogwarts express. Every seat and compartment had a different riddle or puzzle to solve to move onto the next level which was the lake. If any one  of the answers were wrong they will be immediately thrown out of my mindscape. Level 2 started from the very depths of the great lake. And as we move upwards, the levels get harder and harder. If any of the answers here were wrong, the person would either be drowned or attacked by the sea creatures, which would also  affect the person's physical body- if they were drowned in my mindscape, then there physical body would suffer from suffocation and so on- The next levels were the front grounds of Hogwarts, the quidditch grounds, owlery with similar yet harder obstacles and repercussions  in them as the levels increase. The questions- some were in different languages, some were about muggle stuff, some about dark magic- were random. Just as I was about to reach the front gates, someone interrupted me. I exit my mindscape and come back to reality, unwillingly.
