Those left behind I

A rewrite of Harry Potter if he had an aunt, and to answer all of the questions I had left after my reread and rewatch of the books and movies as an adult.

The rain started only after the coffins were put down and the earth finally took them back. When most of the people that came to pay their respect had already left. The Potter family had dwindled down to nothing during the war, and Mrs. Dursley had categorically refused to come to her sister's funeral. This absence was erased by the multitude of gifts, cards, flowers and wizards that came where strangers.

Maggie was standing behind the big of the crowd, just a body more in the sea of people that came to honour the Potter's memories. So many people talked, but not Maggie. She'd not been close to the Potter in school, and being friends with them now could've attracted the wrong type of attention on her.
