Harry Potter: What If Petunia Was A witch ?

10. Choosing the Way

Disclaimer: I only own the plot .

Petunia and Lucius decide to keep their relationship a secret. Even Lily is unaware of it.

Remus's excuses were now becoming useless, Lily was the only one who knew the truth. There Marauders had now stopped doing pranks on specific people. They now did their pranks only on death eaters. Their hatred towards Voldemort was increasing. At the same time they were now working on finding out the truth about Remus. In the last 3 months, they found out with the help of Lunar cycle that Remus is disappearing only on selected days. Now they were very close to the truth.

"Will I need help from Dumbledore?" Lucius asked. Petunia answered, "I don't know!" Actually Lucius was going to talk to Dumbledore a long time ago but last month he got the news that both his parents had been infected with Dragonpox, a deadly disease. Now it was up to him to kill both of them. "But still Lucius, who do you know? You are a Death Eater, and that too of the highest order. If you turn your back on him he will not hesitate to kill you. I am very scared Lucius." Petunia showed concern.  Lucius hugged her and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to him soon. Before the Christmas holidays." "Petunia, but if we stay together, your life will be in danger. I don't want to lose you." Petunia smiled, "Me neither, but I can take care of myself."

James is worried. What is the matter? He has started getting jealous of Severus. He and Lily spend a lot of time together. Those two? No!! But then what is the matter? One day Lily was going to the library with her sister Petunia. Lily and Petunia were sitting and talking about Severus. But luckily James was sitting near the shelf behind them and was reading about the Werewolf.  Those three friends suspected that Remus was a werewolf and so, to get concrete proof, they decided to hunt Remus on the night of the full moon.

In the middle of all this, James heard Lily's voice. "Petunia, I'm scared. This Voldemort is just not right." "Don't mention his name, Lily." Petunia said authoritatively. "I'm not scared of him!!!!! It's just the name, and that too seems very made up, do you think that is his real name?" Petunia was very impressed on hearing this.  "I'm just afraid of how he's preying on Muggles. He even attacked Cokeworth last week." Lily began to cry. "I don't want to lose my mom and dad like Severus, Tuny. I've seen Sev. He's not happy at all. He's just reading up on the Dark Arts so they can find a way to get Mrs. Snape out of her coma." Petunia hugged Lily.  "This is a bad time Lily, but this will pass. I have heard that Dumbledore has formed his own army. After seventeen years of age, I too will  became a part of it." Lily complained, "I want to join now." "I also want to do it now but first we have to become worthy of it. So work hard." James heard all this through another way and came out of Library.

James was now feeling ashamed. He used to bully an orphan. He decided that he would never tease Snape again. But he would not apologize either. He has become an orphan now, but he was no less before. He told everything to his friends. They all decided that they will all become part of Dumbledore's army. Their hatred towards Voldemort was increasing now.

"If he is really a werewolf, then we have to be careful. The three of us will follow him today under my dad's invisibility cloak." James said. "And yes, I remember the spells, several might be needed." Sirius said. The truth would be revealed tonight. At night they saw that Madam Pomfrey was taking Remus somewhere. They wore the cloak and began to follow. After some time, they saw that Madam Pomfrey went near the Whomping Willow and pressed a button near the charm. All the three friends were shocked to see the weakness of the willow.

Then Madam Pomfrey sent Remus to the secret path. After some time she left from there. Then the three of them went and found the button and went inside the secret path. After some time they saw that the path opened, to the Shrieking Shack. The most haunted place in Britain. They were waiting. And then they saw.
