Babycakes made me write some H/D and suddenly it came out as written from a pov never before attempted and Dudley seen all from the outside and omg, I've fallen in love with Petunia Dursley.
Who are Petunia's relatives? Is it true that Harry has no living relatives? (Mirror of Erised??) And if so, does that mean he has no grandparents? And if so, does that mean that Petunia is an orphan, and when was she orphaned, before or after her sister's death?
I can't believe there are no relatives. Lily was Muggle-born; there must be dozens of them swarming round. Unless Lily was Jewish and perhaps her ancestors came from Poland and were all killed in concentration camps?? Is Evans either a paternal name of a UK marriage or the echo of what was once Evanovski or Elfenstein??
Poor, poor orphaned Petunia with nothing but a horrible sister-in-law and the memories of a nasty, bullying and favouritised magic sister. And was Petunia the older or the younger sister?
The name Petunia is wonderful, so evocative. There was a children's story in Germany when I was little, about Petunia the Duck.
Does Petunia have Lily's green eyes and red hair?
I also figured out why she married Vernon and why she betrayed Vernon.
Do you think she might harbour secret lustful thoughts of Mrs Figg???
Hm, a quick perusal of the HP Lexicon informs me that Petunia is blonde. But perhaps this is dyed??
God, I may actually have to read some of the bloody books here. At least, only the opening chapters and the last paragraphs: the Dursleys appear nowhere else.
Ack, or do they? (Note to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lazlet: I started to read Order of the Phoenix, I really did! In the plane to Atlanta! But it was so bad; I couldn't continue! Perhaps in small increments.)
