This is all they could get of the story. It is pretty fill in the
blank, which is funny to read, but tells much of the story. More of it
is guess work.


Harry’s aunt and uncle met at work. Petunia Evans, forever
embittered by the fact that her parents seemed to value her witch sister
more than they valued her, left Cokeworth forever to pursue a typing
course in London. This led to an office job, where she met the extremely
unmagical opinionated and materialistic Vernon Dursley. Large and
neckless, this junior executive seemed a model of manliness to the young
Petunia. He not only returned her romantic interest, but was
deliciously normal. He had a perfectly correct car, and wanted to do
completely ordinary things, and by the time he had taken her on a series
of dull dates, during which he talked mainly about himself and his
predictable ideas on the world, Petunia was dreaming of the moment when
he would place a ring on her finger.


When, in due course, Vernon Dursley proposed marriage, in his
mother’s sitting room, Petunia accepted at once. The fly in the ointment
was the fear of what her new fiancé would make ___________ her final
