A decision

She read the letter once again not wanting to believe what it was saying. When she woke that morning she hadn't expected to find her baby nephew on her door steps. Her husband, Vernon, had just left for work telling her that when got home he would take the "creature" to the first orphanage he found. It wasn't true, it couldn't be true, her sister-dead? She knew of the war Lily had made sure to keep her inform just in case things got worse so she could take her family to safety. Lily and James had been killed in their home, the letter said, betrayed by one of their friends. The baby was the only one that had survived the attack with only a scar on his little forehead.

Petunia cried, for her sister, for her brother-in-law, and for her nephew who was now an orphan. Everyone that didn't know her thought that she had hated her sister but the truth was that she loves her sister and her nephew and her brother-in-law and for their safety and the safety of her family she had pretended otherwise. She wouldn't let Vernon take the baby to an orphanage but she couldn't keep him; Petunia knew that her husband would treat the child worse than a dog and would force her and Dudley to do the same. By the time Vernon came home she had the children bathe and in bed. As always he began telling her about his day usually she would ignored him but today she listen trying to keep a calm face when inside she was a nervous wreck.

"Oh Petunia did I tell you that the company is sending me to Washington D.C in the U.S.A to see if we're able to sell drills there. They are paying everything including plane tickets for you and Dudley." He hadn't mentioned anything about orphanages or about her baby nephew, he had forgotten and for that she was glad. A plan began to form; she and Lily had family in the U.S, the Brenan's were their closes cousins maybe if she play her cards right she might be able to leave the baby with one of them: with Temperance most likely.

Yes that was it; Temperance Brenan could take the baby, after all she was a witch so was her brother and father.
