   Summary

   before locking children in cupboards, before all the bitterness, petunia evans got her own hogwarts letter.

   this is her story: of quiet jealousy, failed spells, lost chances, and a sister who always shone brighter. because, even with magic, petunia's greatest achievement was being born first.

   (vaguely inspired by olivia rodrigo's jealousy, jealousy as well as the many magic!petunia fics i've read over the years. if you find any elements that are similar to another fic, please lmk so i can credit!)
