Reading the will

OKAY FOLKS, THIS IS THE SECOND LAST OF THE SOPPY SAD CHAPTERS ROW, I SWEAR. THIS CHAPTER IS PRETTY BORING, SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME.

The day of the will reading arrived quickly and of they went, and they all went. They arrived and their eyes immediately fell on Petunia and Vernon, who were both wearing sour looks. The lawyer came out and said, "Those mentioned in the will, I'll have in separately, so they can be told what they have received, and then I need to know, if either one of you know a Mr. Severus Snape." Everyone but Vernon looked up, and Lily replied, "Yes, why?" They lawyer looked at her and gave a small smile, "Well miss. Evans, Mr. Snape was originally in the will to get some stuff and money, but recently both your parents withdraw what Mr. Snape should have had, and your father wrote, and I quote, "If anyone ever sees that son of a bitch, punch him in the face from me." Lily laughed, and Sirius said, "I'm sure that will be looked to." The lawyer smiled again, than with a serious expression asked Petunia and Vernon to come with them in.

PETUNIA P.O.V

I followed Vernon inside the office, wanting to get away from my perfect sister and her freaky friends. Lily got the looks, the beautiful friends and the hot guy who's totally smitten with her. Vernon can give me the quiet life I desire, but he isn't exactly gorgeous or romantic, and seeing the way that freak looks at my completely oblivious sister is tearing me apart. I'm torn back into reality by the lawyer's voice saying, "Well since you're engaged, I decided to have you in here together. Mr. Dursley, Mrs. Evans wrote following to you, "Dear Vernon. What Harry and I have left to you is because we want you and Pet to have an amazing start on your life together. This I've written as if I'm not going to be there for your wedding and it will be rewritten because I do hope that I'm going to be there for your wedding. Take care of her, you are the right one for her; give her the life she so desperately needs. My best wishes Violet. Silent tears were streaming down my face as I listened. The lawyer continued, "And Mr. Evans wrote this to you, Mr. Dursley, Vernon. I'm sure Vi has already written the important things, so I am going to be blunt. I don't like you on the principle that you're dating my little girl, and you didn't ask my permission to propose to her, but as Vi has drilled into my brain, I know you're going to give her the life she wants. Have a good life. Harry. Through my tears were a smile, always my dad so damn blunt. The lawyer continued, "Well they have given you something together unless some money separately, but I'll read the stuff for you Miss. Evans first, "My lovely sweet Petunia. I don't know what to write to you, I love you. Your rivalry with your sister, I hope one day you can learn to get along, but until then the few times you have to see each other, please be civil. I love you, and I know you think we preferred Lily, but not once did we compare you. With all the best hopes, mom. And from your father, " Pet, darling, I don't have a clue what to say to you. I love you and wish you all the best for the future. I wish I could give you away, but I can't. I love you, darling. Love, dad. They have given you the house, you need to sign some papers, which I will send to you, and then the house is yours. That was all." The lawyer nodded us out of the office. I turned on Lily and sharply said, "Mom and dad gave Vernon and I the house, so I want you out. Come get your stuff tomorrow. Don't show up at my wedding. Keep your freakiness away from me and my life." Then Vernon and I left.

Alice P.O.V

I was staring in shock after Petunia, but Lily was just staring out into the air after her, and the lawyer called on Marlene and me, so in we went. Neither one of us knew Mr. and Mrs. Evans very well, and I don't really know why they would mention us in their will, much less the boys. I mean Mar and I are her friends, but really, she only just became friends with James and Sirius. Of course, James is smitten with her and Lily is in some weirdo denial face. The lawyer started talking to Marlene, so I listened. "Dear Marlene. I'm writing on both Harry's and mines way. We've only met once, but I've heard a lot about you from Lily, and I'm incredibly grateful for you being there for my baby girl. I know you already have quite some money, so we haven't left any for you. On the other hand, we have quite some heirlooms, so I am leaving you my grandmothers light blue pearl necklace, and I hope you're gonna keep it and pass it down in your family. I remember Lily once I was wearing it, she said it would be great with your hair and some earrings you have. Thank you, Marlene. Best of wishes - Harry and Violet. Marlene was silently sobbing as the lawyer passed her the necklace. The lawyer looked at me and continued, "Dear Alice. I'm writing on both Harrys and mines way. We've met a few times, so we know each other a bit, but I know most about you from Lily, and I just wanted to say that I am so grateful for you accepting her and being her friend, her sister. You're also from one of those rich families, but I once wore some of my mother's purple earrings, and I remember you there, so I am passing them onto you, so I hope your compliments were true or this is very awkward, but what do I care, I'm dead. Huh that is probably not funny yet, woopsie, sorry Alice. With hope - Harry and Violet. I was also sobbing as I was passed the earrings, and we both cried as she was led out of her office.
