PLANNING
That was five years ago.
Sure. Petunia took her in. But. She did not want to.
She did not want this little freak.
The letter was just the cherry on top
She had no idea what Lily was going on about them rekindling something or becoming friends. She hadn't sent a letter to Lily in over a year. And she had only sent Lily a letter telling them of Dudley's Birth. She had no idea what she was on about, about her reconnection and how when he's old enough, they'll come and get him. She had dropped her unwanted child Off Like a package. Petunia deeply resented Lily. But she deeply resented anemone just as much. At first, Petunia had thought that it wouldn't be a problem. If she had no magic, they would be able to raise her right, away from that dreaded nasty magical society. But that didn't happen. she started to make things float. she started doing magic.
Lily was a liar. she wasn't a squib or didn't have any magic, they just didn't want to deal with her. Vernon. Who looked more like a walrus than a human? Was also Upset at the dropping of a child on their doorstep. “What a skank!! How dare she!! How dare they drop off a child like an unwanted milk delivery, how can they have the audacity to say here raise this for me will ya!!!!!”
Vernon. What will we do? I will not Continue to raise a freak that could corrupt our dudders.
Then we drop him at an orphange or at the police station, we bare no responcibility for this brat.
So they found an orphanage. Wools Orphanage, which had been in business for a long time and was still going. It was the perfect solution to their problems. They wouldn't have any responsibility for the child, and the child would eventually be able to get their own family without having to worry. They may not have liked Anne. But that didn't mean they were going to go ahead and hurt her. Not if they could just give her away.
They signed all the paperwork, and she was officially Not their problem anymore. All of it recorded and kept both in paper and online.
It took Albis a week to realize she was no longer living at the Dursleys residence. He then proceeded to obliviate all of those Pesky little memories of an ever being at wools orphanage and burned the paper so that way she would not exist on their files.
Since obviously the Dursleys were not. As keen as he would have hoped, he decided to lay down the foundations of a Emotional amplification ward. This ward Would target the Dursley's anger and resentment and build on it, creating a much more potent emotion. He also put a compulsion so that way they Would not think to drop her off at a orphanage or the police ever again. With that, his jaw was done and he could settle back down in the castle.
But Anne. And new and remembered every single moment of it. Albus not thinking of obviating the child as they seemed too young to remember any of this. But she did remember. And it sowed the seeds of resentment in her as well.

Time skip
The Dursley's job had caused them to move To the Americas, albus had almost forced them to stay. But with the threat of being fired and then ending up without a home anyway, he decided to relent and let them go. He set up the wards again at the new house as well.

Living at the Dursleys Is horrible.
Why? Why did they treat me like this? What did I do wrong? I wasn't the one who forced me to stay here. I wasn't the one who did any of the bad things to them. Why do I have to suffer for it? I can still vaguely recall warm fuzzy memories of my mom. Maybe my dad. They loved me. But I guess they didn't love me. Because they died in a car accident. Drunks, they say. Hookers., they say. They call my parents every name under the sun. Saying that I should have been more like my brother. Who died with them.
School has been rough. Dudley picks on me constantly, teasing me about my hair, about my height, about anything that he can get his hands on. He's not particularly smart, so he doesn't think of new things often, and his insults tend to get old very quick. But at least it's better than home. At least if the teacher see it, they'll tell him to stop. At least they did. Until the Dursley started pouring poison in their ear. They told them “she's insane, she's a delinquent.”” Something's not right in her head. I'm sorry about her. Her parents were on all sorts of things while pregnant with her and her brother. That's why they're dead now.”
“We merely took her out of the kindness of our hearts. But it's difficult, especially with how rough she can be. How? Snobbish she can be. We spoiled her when she was little and we're still trying to undo it.”
What a load of it. They lie. Why don't the adults see that? Now they call me an attention seeking brat. That the Dursleys are good people and they're trying to give me the best life and they're trying to teach me life lessons, quote UN quote. Yeah, I guess being beaten with a wooden spoon or a frying pan is a lesson on not to burn the potatoes. None of it's fair. Dudley gets Everything he wants, whenever he wants. He never has to work for it, he never has to even ask. They practically wait on him hand and foot. They give him the newest toys, the newest trinkets, the newest sweets, the newest everything. I'm lucky if I get a couple of melted crayons that I can steal from the trash can. I hate them. But I have nowhere else to go. I can't go anywhere. I'm trapped. I must wait until I'm older. At least at school it's easier. I get food. But as of lately. Dudley has been. Unbearable. Going on and on and on about this brand new pizzeria that they just have to go. They have to. They have to! He keeps throwing hissy fits every single time they say no. His birthday is coming up, so I have no doubts that they'll say yes. Along with that, Vernon had gotten invited to a conference. And the Fazbear Corporation is sponsoring it. After all, mechanical engineering is their strong suit and they absolutely want the continuation and Improvement of the technological world.” At least that's what the letter said. And all actuality, it's a quick cash grab from the company. And I'm going to have to spend the week with Miss Figg and her Stinky House. She doesn't clean up after her cats. I don't even think she can. I don't think she ever knew what bleach was. I don't think she's ever cleaned that house either. The Dursleys keep the house spotless. Well, I guess I keep the house spotless, but cleaning is one of my few reprieves. One of the few things I can do. Without having to worry and be able to just think. But it could be worse. At least I'll be fed. And have a bed. Instead of having to sleep in the cupboard under the stairs, maybe I'll even have enough room to walk around.
As Ann attempts to make herself feel better The Dursleys are planning.
We can't take her with us, Petunia.-V
Well, we can't leave her here either, Vernon.-P
Missus Figg has already said she's going to be out of town visiting her sister. Apparently she Is sick and is only getting worse. She wants to spend time at her sister's bedside before she goes.-P
What about Marge?-V
I've already called about Marge. Marge refuses to take her after the Ripper incident.-P
Why couldn't that freak just let the dog bite her?-V
I don't know, Vernon. But Marge will not let her anywhere near her house or her dogs with their precious teeth, so that way she doesn't vanish them again.-P
What about any of the neighbors?-V
Are you kidding me? If the neighbors see any of the bruises, they will know. Or the scald marks or any of the other abuse. If they see any of it, we will be in jail. No, we can't leave them with the other neighbors. Besides. Mrs. Petross has been concerned about The bruises she's been seeing on her back. It's one of the reasons why we've been demanding her wear longer shirts. It's why she even has that jumper in the first place.-P
Fine. We'll take her with us. What's the cheapest option?-V
With work your Providing A package that goes with it. I can watch over dudders And take him all around the pizza Plex. The company is providing discounts on all the different attractions for those who have Kids. But I did hear they have a daycare.-p
How old does it go up to?-P
Well, The package the company chose only goes up to 6. But the Daycare itself can take care of kids up to 10.-V
She's 9 but she's pretty small. We can change the date. That way we'll get a discount and we'll not have to deal with her. After all, we want this to be perfect for our little boy's special day. And we want to get our moneys worth for it too.-V
What about hotels?-P
Apparently, Freddy Fazbear has A themed Hotel It doesn't have any animatronics or anything like that, but it is a part of the company's sponsoring package.-V
How many rooms do we get?-P
One with two beds. And a bathroom.-V
Then Dudley gets one bed, we get another, and the freak stays in the bathroom.-V
That will work. How long will The conference be for?-P
The conference itself only lasts about a week, but Dudder's birthday is The weekend after it.-V
What will we do with the freak over the weekend?-P
We'll lock her in the bathroom over the weekend.-V
I'll start packing then.-P
Anne was delighted. She was going with them. She knew she was going to have to pack. The Dursleys weren't Going to pack her bag. With school ending that week And do these birthday being that weekend, it's easy to see that she wouldn't be attending for the last week of school, so it's best to keep her stuff in her backpack.
For once ann was excited. Maybe she could have fun. Maybe. She could make a friend.
