Here it is, a whole year later, and it's not continued.
What happened?? This was sooo good, with a lot of promise.
I lked the irrational thinking. I liked the "SuperMum" and the "my flowers".... You've done some thinking and such. Good job.
so...
A year has gone by. Has the muse kicked itself back onto your keyboard yet? |

It was never supposed to be continued. The "To Be Continued..." was tagged on as a mistake by whoever uploaded this story.
I've had many plot bunnies take hold and pass in the past year. Hopefully something will blossom into something more someday soon  |

| Thank you for showing me how to feel sympathy for Petunia. I've never wanted to hug her before now. Well done. |

| That was a very interesting PoV...I think many people like to think of the Dursley's as having no human emotion really, but you have to wonder if Petunia had ALWAYS hated Lily or what. I think this was a very sad, but touching insight to the battle that could wage within her. |

You've done a remarkable job of explaining why Petunia Dursley is the way she is. You've captured her resentment of Lily's gifts beautifully which goes a long way in explaining her treatment of Harry.
By the way, congratulations for having your story selected as a Story of the Week. I will be looking for your name on the updates list from now on!

Bravo! In so few words, you've expertly filled in the gaps that I've always been frustrated that JKR didn't. And what I really like is how you've breathed life into Petunia. It was such a short piece but you found some way to make her multidimensional.
As a side note, your rendering of young Lily reminds me very much of Ginny in PS and CoS.

Oh my God! This- this was absolutely brilliant ! For the first tiem I felt a sort os symnpathy towards Perunia, except I still don;t understand why she hates Lily so much. Well, I do , but it's still a little fuzzy. But poor Lily. Imagine getting so much, but at the expense of losing something so important. The way you characterized the Evans was absolutely brilliant. Lily suffering just like Harry, Petunia protecting her, her mother wanting the best for her, her dad being proud. I just have one small insignificant flaw to mention. Petunia said her parent s where so proud when she received her letter. So I'm guessing her mom wanted her daughter to go as much as her dad. Well, I can't wait for the second installement! Please update soon!

I'm so glad you enjoyed! As it goes, however, this story was really a one-shot fic and they tagged "To be continued..." on the end as an oversight -- that's really the end!
I might try to continue it another time, but as you may have noticed I've been having a bit of writer's block since May when I posted this :).

an interesting analysis of Lily's and Petunia's relationship.
I like the idea of Petunia being the protector. It's something that's fresh, yet it makes sense.
My one gripe is that I couldn't really see the future petunia in her younger self. Maybe I just missed it though.
Nice work
