Petunia,

I know we haven't spoken since that day weeks ago... I know we still aren't on the best terms... But James and I would appreciate if you came to our wedding. It won't be a large ordeal, the world isn't safe enough for that right now. You're all the family I have left. Please write me back this time.

I love you,

Lily

"What is this!"

"Vernon, please!"

"You're disgusting. You worthless whore. I trusted you! I work long days to provide everything for you and you go behind my back like this. I forbid you from going. Know your place, you cunt."

"I won't go... Please! Believe me! I-I-I don't care about her. She means nothing to me. I swear on it Vernon. Please! Please don't hit me again. I-I-I'm pregnant. He's yours." Petunia cowered on the floor in front of Vernon, bracing herself for the pain. She kept her eyes low to the ground, shielding her face so that he wouldn't see her tears. He hated when she cried.

Vernon froze, his demeanor changing. "I'm going to be a father. Get up. Have some self respect. That's my child."

Lily,

I'm sorry for not being there. I'm sorry again because I cannot go. I'm sorry. He will hurt me.

Petunia,

It's Vernon isn't it. That bastard. It's fine if you can't come. Meet me at Café Fleur in three days. I have something for you.
