Antagonism | Dorian C. Dursley

It was well known that the Dursley family loathed magic and anything having to do with such freakish things. It was more than well known that Harry James Potter was a subject of their hatred for magic and it was, assumingely so, that they would do anything to stop such freakish things happening in their household from locking Harry in the cupboard to removing him from all existence in the house, it was painfully clear to anyone who asked that the Dursley family hated magic and will always do so.

However, when Petunia Dursley encounters a loose wizard criminal while out on a shopping errand for the newest addition of the family, her hatred for magic goes deeper than ever before as the woman is stuck between loving a son who has what she fears the most and hating the blood that evidently runs through his veins. In order to keep her son away from prying eyes in hopes of erasing such tainted blood from his system, Petunia begins to erode his mind and body, in her mind, this is fine, perfect even but as Dudley begins to join in and Harry is left to his own devices, Petunia finds out that her plan of removing such blood from his veins becomes futile when two owls land on her roof, dropping in the letters that had fueled her anger in the first place.

With Harry a savior and celebrity in the eyes of the castle, Dorian Dursley is simply the shadow behind him, hiding during the sun and coming out during the moon.

The boy who lived is a famous celebrity...

The shadow behind him is nothing but a dark shade, ignored and invisible.

Harry James Potter might have Lord Voldemort and death eaters to worry about but Dorian Cypress Dursley finds himself in a battle with his very own demons, physical and mental.
