Yes, a warmer Petunia! I love fics involving her as a person, and this is no exception. Her explanation to Charlie, along with her admiration for his form and ways fits so well. The diet coke bit had me laughing quite a bit. I also enjoyed how you didn't try to force this into a "happily-ever-after" romance and the reality of the situation is just right for Petunia's age and realistic look at things. Great fic!
