Wow. That was great. You were in character the whole time! You're really, really good.

Netball. hmm. Bet it's like volleyball. :ponders: Anyway, this is great. You really captured sibling rivalry. And I know. I have a lot of siblings. A LOT. Gotta love one-shots. One chappie and your done, no obligations, no hitting yourself over the head to finish that chapter, refine that loose plot. Good luck on furthering your career. Whatever your career is... Why did I say that? :?

From what we see in canon, I can totally picture her being like this! Really good job! And extra points for "green-eyed carrot". Those two words alone made this fic worth reading! (Well, everything else is good, too!)

Lovely! There really aren't enough stories about this stuff. You have a lovely writing style.
Thanks to reviewing my stories, btw. Thank you. :)

hey there. i really liked that story -- definitely not enough petunia stories out there. i liked how your petunia voice sounded so young and girlish, and her petulant indignation and jealousy rang very true to canon.

and thank you so much for reading and reviewing my story the little mermaid. :)

This is really good, you really captured how I always though Patunia would feel. I don't remeber if they actually said this in the book, but I always though Patunia was older. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, great job.

Very interesting. I really love the way Petunia reacts to her parents' reactions. It's very natural for a younger sister to do that. Oh, and I soo much love that phrase"green-eyed carrot"! I smiled at the screen when I read that.You've portrayed Lily as the older sister here, but in my opinion Petunia would be older. I mean, Petunia's son Dudley is one or two months older than Harry, and Lily was probably 20 or 21(based on the HP Lexicon) when she had Harry. If so, by your story, Petunia would be 18-19 when she had Dudley. I really can't see prim, proper Petunia involved in teen pregnancy. So, you see my point? Anyway, your story is going in my favourites list.

Hi. You reviewed me quite a while ago, and unfortunately I didn't get around to reading your fics until now.
Because I'm really glad I did. I love this.
I can just imagine Petunia like that - I love the way you portray her - bitter, and, well, not particularly nice yet simply wanting to win her parents' affection (as I interpret it). The last paragraph was wonderful - as though Petunia's trying to convince herself that she's better than Lily, that Lily will fail, and so on.
Another reason I loved this is, well, it's realistic. I have an older sibling, and although I'm not violently jealous and I get along with him well, sometimes it seems as though my parents like him more, etc.
All in all - very well written and, though short, I think the length was just right. Though simple, everything said was just ...wow. (Great. I'm so coherent.) :)

Short, but sweet. Good style and I like the fact it conveys so many things with simple hints, such as the jealousy factor between the sisters.

I hate that no one has reviewed this yet. It's a very good piece. I like works that flesh out minor characters anyway. You've obviously put thought into this one. I love the idea that jealousy held over from childhood made her the monster she is as an adult. Nice little morality tale/ character study.
