Loving the Sirus/Petunia in the first one. Glad he didn't cheat if he had God help him there'd be nothing left for lily to hex after Petunia would be done with him. But the James Petunia friendship was unexpected and cute. I would love to see another drabble where the boys are helping her out with her baby. Or maybe something with Severus seeing as their canon relationship was poor. Definitely following.

I tried but I just couldn't get into the pairing, but the whole story just made up for it. I like to think that Petunia and Lily would have been closer if Petunia had been a witch, and i feel like it shows here. I didn't even want to slap Petunia once and that is quite the start :)
And Sirius...just Sirius. That's all I can even say because Sirius was so...Sirius. And I loved it.
Overall this was a nice and flowing read that i quite enjoyed.

I enjoyed reading this. 'Petunia is a witch' trope isn't something I read very often, so this was really interesting to me.

I'm not convinced by the pairing, though I did think you wrote it well. Characterisations were really good, Sirius in particular, and I wouldn't mind reading a second part to this :)

I really enjoyed this! I do enjoy witch!Petunia stories because they give so many options for little things that could have happened, like her and Lily being closer.

At first, I was a little sceptical about the fic because I couldn't see the pairing working, but you've written them both so well and I can totally believe that Sirius would go after her because she's s unobtainable, and I know how that can often make you like someone more.

I loved the growth you showed in the characters too, that Sirius was able to stop himself cheating because he loved her, and James turning up and basically putting him in his place.

You've definitely shown both of their feelings well throughout this and I can understand why Sirius is feeling like that, why he runs off, and why they argue. It all flows really well and you've definitely made me root for both of the characters in the way you've built up their relationship throughout.

Great job :)

I'm honestly very unbiased on this. I liked the beginning of it, but mostly because I thought they were going to split up. I don't dislike this pairing, I just cannot see their canon selves getting together, and you didn't really expand on your own personalities of them. I think this story has a lot of potential, and I definitely liked some parts of it a lot-Sirius stopping himself, James stopping him, Sirius' reaction to her pregnancy. I just think the characterization of them needs work :)

Oh wow. Really interesting idea. Super unique. Cool!

You had a fitting conflict for Sirius that allowed a great flow for each element of the story. Instead of "way-too-familiar touch", overfamiliar could be a less wordy replacement or another synonym. You have strong word choice otherwise.
Petunia was understandably more pleasant of a person and very believable. The ending wasn't fluffy and overshadowing the strong emotions of the characters. The bittersweet ending works greatly.

I love seeing the whole "What if Petunia was a witch?" thing explored. It's really interesting to see how things could have been different.

I've never considered SiriusPetunia as a pairing, but I think you wrote it nicely. Sirius was so wonderfully in character. You showed his carefree spirit perfectly. His resentment was believable as well. I feel like he is definitely the one who would grow restless in a marriage.

I think it's funny that the reason he ended up with Petunia was basically pure stubbornness. If she'd simply fallen for his charm the first time, none of this would have happened. You caught Petunia's character nicely with that. Even as a witch, I can imagine she'd still be a bit snobbish, and wooing her would be a serious trial.

Sirius' character growth was heartbreaking. But, again, he's definitely the type to get restless like that after such a major commitment. But I am definitely glad to see that he came to his senses and didn't do anything terribly stupid.

James was great. I know he was just a side character, but you wrote him well. I loved his maturity. The way he was so protective of Petunia was perfect. His love of friends and family showed there.

When he went to the bar, I was actually pretty worried everything would fall apart. I'm glad it didn't, and that he and Petunia plan to work things out.

I'd like to see a continuation of this because I need to know how things get resolved between these two!
Fire The Canon chapter 1 . 8/11/2017
I like the fact that Sirius' attraction to Petunia was that she didn't fall straight into his arms; she was immune to him, which can sometimes be really irritating and make people more determined. I liked that about this. I think it suited Sirius' character nicely.

I laughed a little at the fact that Sirius found himself engaged, because he had tried so hard. That also sounds very much like him a haha. Bless him. He's probably at this stage, realised he's gotten in far too deep.

It was interesting to see how the dynamic between Lily and Petunia changed based on she now being a witch. I feel it's rather accurate in the sense they had always been close until Lily's letter arrived. Oh, and the drinking and Apparating alternative was great :D I mean, Splinching would probably be a real issue if not coherent.

Sirius' feelings were very relatable, I feel. As someone who is engaged, sometimes the thought of getting married is frightening, because (as Sirius put it) it's spending the rest of your life with someone. And I'm a big believer in if you choose to get married, it's not an 'oh, until I'm bored' committment. So, I think you used his feelings very well. His fears.

This probably could have been longer as I felt parts were rushed and moved too quickly. I felt there was a lack of build up to Sirius' outburst and a little more lead in may have made it feel more 'real' if that makes sense.

Over all, though, an interesting and creative piece. Well done :)

Now I am very curious about whom it could have been that was the mysterious other person.
treavellergirl chapter 1 . 8/6/2017
This is different compared to many fics that Petunia shows up in, in a good way. Here it feels like she is more grounded in a way, and more sure of herself. If it depend on the fact that she knows she can defend herself with magic, against other magic users or others, well that will remain up in the air.
