Ah, thank you so much for this kind comment! I hoped the little scene (including the setting) would look canon-compliant (even though, sticking to basing my fic only on the first five HP books, I didn't want to name the place and, instead, resorted to nature details, which perhaps made Lily seem too much like a sensitive, dreamy girl).
It's reassuring that the characterisations work for you so well. I've recently seen more surprising, interesting portrayals of Lily. I've wanted my adult Lily to have had her own ambitions and interests (and written more about them in Layers of Treasure), but I suppose I've always written her good-natured. And there could be more dimensions in an excellent portrayal of Petunia, but showing her as bitter and suspicious is perhaps good enough here.
