OMG this story is awesome!!! Snape/Petunia has been my HP OTP since, like, the second book. This is so believable! I really, really loved it. My favorite lines were On Lily’s birthday the world was a different place entire. and Wesley in the meantime had finished his first sandwich and had begun to wonder if he could get away with removing Mr. Dursley. and “As is mine. I cannot rid myself of that boy, I have learned to appreciate magic and can never have it, my sister is forever gone, and my family is in danger. ‘Gentle’, is not on my mind, Severus.” Wesley is a terrific OC. And I loved the ending! Thank you so much for writing and posting this story!
