Tunie,
I enjoyed the picture of little Dudley. He looks like the sweetest little angel, a bit like Uncle Charlie. Remember him? I attached a photo of Harry at the bottom, he's been a handful so far. Again, thank you so much for the vase. It was beautiful -until James and Sirius, the fools, broke it while playing with Harry. Don't worry though, nothing a little magic couldn't fix. I hope you're doing better. I know it was hard after Dudley. I know Vernon hasn't changed. Let me know if it gets worse, I'll hex him anytime.
I love you very much,
Lily

The months after her pregnancy had been difficult. Dudley was a beacon of light, but everything still seemed dark. Vernon hadn't changed, it had gotten worse. Her shield was gone and she was angry. How could her baby, her son leave her alone like this. She deserved everything Vernon threw her way.
In the room next door, she would hear Dudley crying. She didn't move from her spot in bed. Vernon had already gone to work so no one would hurt her. Petunia was tired.

Tunie,
You haven't written back in weeks. Did you get my last letter? Tell me you're okay.
Love,
Lily

Tunie,
Hey, just checking in again. I don't mean to bother you. Wanna hear a funny story? James and his friends broke the vase -again! Ha. Please write to me. I'm concerned.
Concerned,
Lily

Another letter from Lily was tossed into the trash. Six months after Dudley had been born and nothing had gotten better. Vernon was violent and the baby, was well, a baby. She knew the neighbors could hear all the screaming and crying coming from their house. She didn't care. In their suburban dream neighborhood, this was normal. Unhappy wives and abusive husbands. Lily seemed happy in her life and Petunia couldn't stand to be around it.
Maybe, she'd send a letter. Lily deserved that much from her, but if Vernon found out again...
Well, it was okay. The baby was crying again.
