Author's Note: This is kinda what I think Petunia feels about Lily. I think they were friends once, even while Lily was still at Hogwarts. Maybe Petunia really does hate her, but because Lily experienced thing that Petunia didn't. Things that you will find out about.

Never Wonder
'Ever wonder what it's like to be in love?'
That's what my younger sister always asked me.
'Ever wonder what it's like to be able to wake up in someone's arm and know that there is no place you'd rather be?'
I never used to wonder. I used to always think that my life was perfect, I didn't need anyone else to love.
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind.
The two of us would always sit, munching on something or other, playing a game.one we made up; Ever Wonder?
"Ever wonder what it's like to be... an only child?"
Ever wonder what it's like to be... a mother?"
"Ever wonder what it's like to give birth?"
"Ever wonder what it's like to be in love?"
To play Ever Wonder you have to think of something that the other person has never done. If you say something they've done, you get a point. 10 points total and the game is over. Who ever has the least points wins.
"Why would I want to be in love? My life is just great the way it is."
"But... don't you ever wonder what it's like? To have someone think you're perfect even though, and because of, your faults? Someone who will always want to be there, experiencing life with you, even if you're sad, or angry, or.. bitch-y?"
"I don't see why I need another person. I already have you, and Mum and Dad."
"Don't you wish ther was someone who knew everything about you? So much that they knew more than you? So much that they could sometimes even predict what you were going to say or do next?"
"Where would the fun be in a life like that?"
She might sigh then, as if she were giving up on arguing with me for now.
"Ever wonder what it's like to be able to wake up in someone's arms and know that there was no place on Earth you'd rather be?"
She asked me these questions almost every time we played, hoping that my answer might differ from last game.
But soon, she fell in love. And after that, she never asked me the questions again.
But then I did wonder. What was it like to be in love? What was it like to be able to wake up in someone's arms and know that there was no place you'd rather be?
And I, sure as hell, don't know, and may never know.
For now she's gone. And everyone thinks I hated her, and that I am glad she's gone. Bu they'll never know about Ever Wonder? They'll never know that my 'hatred' is just my way of coping with that fact that she's gone, and never coming back.
And they'll never wonder why.
