Dear Lily,
It’s been a while since the last time we talked. I still remember when you came home last summer, with your wand and spells and all wizardry thingy, talking about your OWL (not the animal, mind you), and a boy named James – who sounds really arrogant and annoying. It’s as if I don’t know who you are anymore.
Are you still the same Lily who I shared the bed together for more than 10 years?
Are you still the same Lily who always cried on my shoulder everytime the naughty Severus boy bullied you?
Are you still the same Lily, who held my hand every time we crossed the bridge over the river?
Lily,
I know we are not the best of friends. When we grew up, I realized there were so many differences between you and me. I know that you are the pretty one, with your beautiful green eyes and wonderful smile. You are also the smart one, always been number one in class.
Did I envy you? Was I jealous with you?
Maybe. Sometimes.
But I care about you. I love you. And I hope, at least we could be together until we grew old. Back each other up through thick and thin.
So it was a very dreadful day when the owl (yes, this time indeed the animal) came with that scary letter. From an unknown world that will claim you forever, take you from our very own lives. A world full of strange people, words that I don’t understand, and a bleak future for me. Suddenly I felt very alone. Everybody else seemed so excited with this new opportunity of yours. But not me. I felt scared, lonely and lost. I don’t have that many friends, and this time, the only friend I have, would be taken away from me.
And just as I predicted, from that day on, you were gone. Yes, you still came home for summer or Christmas holidays, but there’s no old Lily I’ve used to know for my whole life. You talked a lot about your new life, while never even asked about mine. I miss my old sister so bad. I miss you, Lily.
I don’t know what’s going to happen in our future, are we going to be like strangers forever? Am I losing my only best friend? Is there any second chance for us?
I wish I could be happy for you, bid you good luck in everything you do. But I’m still too sad, too mad, too afraid to lose you.
I hope one day, I could be the friend that you always count on. But for now… I just want to wait. Wait until you come back.
Love from your (hopefully still and always be) sister,
-Petunia
ps: and how on Earth should I send this letter to you? I think one of your “birds” will come to pick up this letter. Otherwise, i will just bury it in our usual place. Hopefully, one day somebody will read this, and understand my feeling. Not just judging me as the cruel wicked sister I’d always seemed to be now.
pps: this letter is submitted to Hotter Potter June Meme – hosted by Melisa and sponsored by Luna. I have followed Luna Lovegood‘s blog by email: astridfelicia@hotmail.com. Thanks guys!

i can’t imagine the other side of petunia..maybe she is indeed feel that way yaakk 😀
hihihi ini sih perspektif aku ajaa siii 😀 tapi kadang suka kasian sama si petu….the other sister 🙂
mbak as mau komentar panjang lagi gak? tapi gak bisa bales pake bahasa inggris……… 😦
aku mengerti perasaan Tuney. Karena aku juga memiliki adik yang yah bisa dibilang punya ‘sihir’. Orang tuaku tak jarang membanggakannya. Karena dia bisa banyak hal yang tidak bisa kulakukan meski memang passion kami berbeda. aku iri. tentu saja. dan satu-satunya cara untuk menyembunyikannya adalah dengan berpura-pura seperti Tuney. agar orang lain tidak tahu kalau aku sangat sedih aku tidak bisa sebaik adikku.
tapi, inilah aku.
jauh di dalam hatiku, aku merindukan adik kecil yang dulu sering duduk berdua denganku di satu kursi, diam di dalam lemari dibawah akuarium saat lelah. kami tiduran di kursi yang busanya sudah diatur seperti kemah. dan tak jarang kami makan sepiring berdua.
tapi dia tidak tahu tentang hal ini. dia tidak tahu kalau aku meneteskan air mata saat menulis komentar ini.
wkwkwkwkwkwk, malah curhat 😆
oh noooooo sedih banget sihhhh komenmu…. *hugs* siblings oh siblings yaaa
wkwkwkwk *puk puk mbak as*
jangan sedih ya 😀 *sodorin inferno *covernya doang *aku pun belum sanggup beli
Aunt Petunia jadi lebih ‘manusiawi’ di sini hihihi… *hugs aunt Petunia*
hihihi iyaaaa…kesian juga kadang2 sama dia, biarpun akhirnya tetep nyebelin 😀
apik tenaaan… walo gak bisa bayangin petunia melow, tapi rasanya gak berlebihan kalo petunia punya perasaan seperti ini. di buku harpot 7 kalo gak salah ada cerita tentang petunia yang kirim surat ke dumbledore biar diterima ke hogwarts. yah, let see… 😀
ihihihi iyaaa petunia itu the other side of story nya banyak kayanya 🙂 duuh kangen tulisan rowling yaaaa
I officially wanna hug Tuney T__T
ahahahaha padahal aslinya mah nyebelin banget ya meeeel 😀
