I really liked this story, it was a refreshing pairing I'd not seen before and it made me fall in love with James a little, too. I feel so sad for Petunia!

This is great. I love the explanation of canon, of Petunia's attitudes. Poor jealous Tuney. James was adorable.

*smug* <3 WELL! >> Ehehe. I love this. I do. To itty bitty pieces. And I am so glad you did it. *hearts* Petunia is so rare to find, and well written. I cannot express how well you captured her personality without going overboard. That in itself is a difficult feat. But to also manage James as well? He's a tricky bugger and you kept him in line. I think it's your grasp on Lily that kinda had a little whip out to keep James from going nuts. xD

... And now I hope I put that image in your head! <3

Wow, from looking at the prompt I thought this would be a pure comedy, but the story made me feel pretty bad for Petunia, actually. You did a great job with her. And James was a pleasure to read, too!

Poor Petunia, she deserves someone like James. This is a nice little story.
