And then, they weren't
A series of one shots about Lily and Petunia over the years.

Lily Evans' love letters are her most secret prized possessions. She writes love letters when she has a crush so intense there's nothing else she can do. The four letters in total are Frank Longbottom the head boy from her first year, Remus Lupin her third year study buddy, Marlene McKinnon long-time best friend, and the newest one. James Potter. When her letters somehow get out, after James has settled on a new girlfriend, the only person she can turn to for help is Marlene and her own letter.
Lily/Marlene fake dating fic based off To All The Boys I've Loved Before. Pretty AU centric given a bit of bending some ages around and relationships. Gratuitous use of nicknames as is on par with the inspiration material.

Dudley Dursley reluctantly and somewhat awkwardly accepts an invitation to his cousin's wedding. While there, he meets Harry's friends, discovers some fascinating wizarding adult beverages - and meets Cho Chang, who has her own reasons to find herself out of place and drinking heavily at the wedding of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley.
In the months to come, this unlikely encounter will make him rethink his attitudes towards the magical world, drastically change the course of both of their lives, and change Dudley's relationship with his family forever.

"You didn't just lose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow, you know. I lost a sister."
Harry had no idea of any sort of magical world. Sure there had been weird things that happened in his life, but he had always chalked it up to coincidence. This time, however, there was no dispute.
All of this, Petunia knew to be true of her future.

2. Her sister, Lily, can do magic
3. She cannot, because she’s mundane and ordinary
